The Forest Goddess

Chapter 1: The Birth of a Goddess

Cassandra Phillips was a young photographer. Her favorite photos to take where that of nature. Her eyes where an emerald green with her hair as golden blond in soft fluffy curls that reached her waist and a bit beyond. Her skin olive. She looked like a gently sort of person and was until someone crossed her. Her ex-cheating-ass-boyfriend had first hand experience of her wraith. Jason Jackson was his name and she was leaving his house after seeing him being rode by some red head wench. She didn't tell them that she was there and recorded the whole thing and put it on both a porn site and YouTube. Now everyone knew just how quick he 'jumped the gun'. So far she had one million views in last hour. Of course they wanted to watch the video... after all Jason Jackson was a famous model. Ah... goodbye to your sweet career asshole... she thought with an evil grin across her face.

"Did you hear what happened at the auction house?" Her friend asked through the phone.

"No, did something bad happen?" she asked in a voice not really interested as she walked down the street. She wore a forest green turtle neck and black boot cut jeans with her flat boots just underneath. It was chilly today. General was this time of year.

"Yeah! Everyone was killed!" She yelled through the phone making Cassandra's ear ring. "And get this! The guy you've taken photos of... that HellBoy he was there too!"

She stopped in her tracks at the mention of the man who saved her life from a Vodnik from drowning her and stealing her soul as a child. Vodnik is a ghoul who lives under a pond. It likes to drown humans and store there souls into cups. "Really? Did he win against the creature he was fighting?" she asked trying to no let her voice tremble to much as she spoke.

"He looked like he was in a fight, but I guess he did. He seemed rather happy about it." she told her.

"That's good then," she said with another smile on her face. This one was a happy smile. Yeah! BPRD try covering that up! She thought smugly.

Her friend laughed at the other end, "Yeah. So what are you doing right now?"

"Going home. Hey look up Jason Jackson Jumps the Gun on YouTube. You'll see why I'm going home." She told her as she felt the ground crack underneath her feet. "Tory I'll have to... call you back." She hung up her phone and placed it into her pocket. New York didn't get earthquakes and she doubt the craftsmanship of the side walk and tar covered street was flawed. She turned following the crack. Cassandra just couldn't help herself. She felt a calling for her to follow almost enchanting her in a trance as she followed.

Then she spotted him. HellBoy, some blue fish-man, a woman with short black hair, and two pale elves. She couldn't help but stare at the elven male. He was tall, his hair was platinum blond and gold at the ends of he long hair. He's face was scared, but it did nothing to take away from him handsome features. He saw her staring directly at him and he scent a death glare her way that made her shiver.

The ground cracked again and threw her in to the air, "Oh shiiiiiitttt!" she screamed as she literally did unintentional backflips in the air as if she were a rag doll. She must have been fifty feet in the air or more as she spotted the creature. It was beautiful and horrifying all at once. Then she landed onto the creature rather gratefully. For if she landed on the ground instead she would of bloody died. "Oh my head," she moaned in pain. She sure she was bruised all over and felt like she hit a tree... which technical she was.

"It's an Elemental," She barely heard the she-elf say. "A giver of like and the destroyer."

"Huh?" HellBoy questioned not understanding it.

"A Forest God," she informed him.

"Oh, crap... I'm screwed." Cassandra said to herself. A Forest God?! Really? Great... just fucking great!

Cassandra didn't hear them as HellBoy said he was going to get big baby. She was far to busy trying to hang on to the Forest God's shoulder she landed on. She could feel her nails crack under the strain of her death grip. "Hey! Careful you have a passenger here!" she yelled at the creature as she ignored the pain in her finger tips. She could also feel her own warm blood coat her hands as the rough textures of the Forest God dug into her hands. Damn it hurt!

The creature ignored her as it rampaged and started to destroy cars and throwing them at HellBoy, who at this point was carrying a baby. "Forest God! Please Stop!" She begged suddenly. She couldn't let this innocent creature become a monster. It wasn't it's fault and it wasn't the fault of the people below. She suddenly spotted the beautiful elven man and she glared at him. She just somehow knew this was his fault!

He stared back at the odd woman on the Forest God's shoulder. She wasn't angry at the creature that was attempting to hurt people. She was made at him! How did she know it was his doing he had no idea, but she did and the way her impossibly green eyes glared at him promised pain. He felt himself shiver under her heated gaze. This human, he thought in disgust, will be a problem. He'd have to kill her, but with the creature going on a rampage like it was he couldn't get close... yet.

She tore her gaze away and looked at the creature again, "Please! Stop! You don't have to do this!" She called after the Forest God. "Please!" she begged with tears falling down her face. She didn't want to see such a beautiful creature die.

"Red! There's a girl up there on it's shoulder!" Liz yelled through her radio as he climb up the sign that said 'Hotel'. "Be careful not to hit her!"

"I hear ya!" he told her.

Then she heard it. The gun shot. "NOOOOOOO!" she screamed as the Forest God hit the building nearly knocking her off. "STTTOOOOP!" She felt as few finger nail ripped off her hands and skin scrapped of her palms. She picked herself up. She had to stop HellBoy from killing it... somehow.

She then saw the elven man on top of the building that HellBoy also occupied. She could hear him speak, "Demon. What are you waiting for? This is what you wanted isn't it? Look at it. It's the last of its kind. Like you and I. You destroy it... the world will never see it's like again. You have more in common with us than with them. You could be a king. If you cannot command... than you must obey."

That was it! She throw herself in front of creature yelling, "Such your fucking mouth you damn crazy elf!"

Suddenly everyone was quite staring at the young girl, who's hands where bleeding and tears ran down her face. Her hand where opened wide, protecting the creature. She didn't know why she was protecting it at first, but nature was one of the things she valued above all else. The creature was a God of something she loved she couldn't see it die. She could only pray that all could hear her and the creature had suddenly stopped. It stayed there still looking at her almost as if it where curious of what she would do.

She took a deep breath, "You say it is the last of it's kind and yet you send it to it's death! How dare you think that we are any less than you! I would never let an innocent creature fall to it's death as you wish it to! You are a murder, elf! You hear me! A murder! I don't know why you chosen such a rotten route, but you disgust me! Using the innocent's blood to fill you goals! You are lower than dirt! You are vile!" she yelled loud as hurt very soul seemed to scream. "It wish to kill the Forest God... you'll have to kill me first! I won't allow it to die!"

The elf's eyes widen at the human's bold words. No one had ever scowled him or yelled at him as she did. What was worse the Forest God was listening to her and seemed to calm completely. Who was this woman who dared interfere? How dare she, a lowly human, call him of all people vile?! Who the hell did she think she was to question him for his actions?! But there she stood proud, determined, and covered in blood and tears.

She could hear the creature purr as it vibrated under her feet as it seemed to gently reach it's hand, or what she assumed was the Forest God's hand, toward her and she could help put feel the need to out stretch her own toward its.

The elf stood frozen to the spot. The creature couldn't be planning to...

There hands touched and she was filed with his thoughts. She knew he understood, but he could not stop his need to attack HellBoy. 'I only see one option, dear human.' it said in her mind as she shut her eyes.

"What's the only option?" she asked softly in a whisper, but she knew he heard her.

'I will die either way... but this way I could live through you. I will give you all of myself as long as you swear to not kill the prince.' he told her.

"What prince?" she asked confused.

'The elf you so boldly stood up to, my dear child.'

"Most likely out of stupidity," she joked trying to ease the tense mood suddenly around them.

The creature laughed, 'No that was brave. His name it Prince Nuada. I have been at his side for many years. He is a troubled soul full of pain and loss. He is a broken man need of care. Promise me you will not kill him.'

"Not happy about it... but I promise not to kill him if saves you." she told him.

'Good this will hurt,' he told her.

"Wha-" she question opening her eyes then she gasped as the creature impaled her stomach with it's hand. "Gah!"

Everything was still even her own heart beat then she felt it. The spreading of his power and what he was filling her very being like liquid fire through her veins. She felt herself splitting at the seems and bursting, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed in complete agony as if she were being ripped apart from the inside out.

"What the..." Red said as he watch the Forest God slowly seep into her and disappearing all at once. It seemed to be fading away into her.

HellBoy lifted his big baby to shoot but then the Nuada spoke, "It can not be stopped now. It has chosen to become one with her. His mind will die, but she will have all the power he possessed. Why he'd give such a gift to a human is beyond me. When it is complete she will be a Forest God in a mortal form. Never has this gift been bestowed to a human before now."

"What happened to the other?" HellBoy inquired.

"He died," was all Nuada said.

Then there was a blinking light and a pulse that pushed many off there feet. As the light died out a woman floated in mid air. Her golden hair had turned silver and her skin pale with the slightest trace of green. Cassandra had grown long elf like ears as well. Vines and leaves covered her top in a corset like shape with large white pedals underneath that completed the dress. Her boots was all that remained of her original clothing.

Her eyes opened glaring at Nuada. They where still the same green, but the pupil had gain slits in them and they glowed. There was one word that come to Nuada's mind, Beautiful... then he was disgusted with himself for thinking this ex-human was anywhere near the word. Why would he think her beautiful? Was it that he wished death? The Forest Goddess would surely wish his death for the misuse of her new father. What will she do to him?
