Aphrodite's Daughter.
Chapter 1.
Alexandra Kostas was not like other fifteen year old girls even though she may look like that by first glance. She had long dark hair and eyes as blue as the ocean, her cheeks was red as roses, and her features were very beautiful. In fact she was just that, stunning beautiful.
This wasn't necessarily a good thing as the girls envied her for it and the boys fought over her, making her lonely as she could never really be close with anyone.
Just this day the young girl sat crying down by the sea as there was this party at school that everyone was going to and she was not invited. She really wanted to go though.
She was tired of being alone, tired of watching the other girls and their friends having fun.
The beautiful young girl looked up at the sky wondering where she was coming from as she knew that the ones that had raised her were not the ones she originated from.
"I want to go to that party," she whispered slowly getting up from the reef and started to walking back home.
That night the young girl found herself looking up at a young Greek man that looked back saying, "By Zeus you must be the most beautiful woman that is."
She didn't replay, just got out of bed and walked over to the window looking out over the sea.
"Alexa," he questioned looking at her with eyes filled with love.
"Please don't fall in love with me," she begged him.
"Why?" he asked.
"I couldn't bear to loose you," she said with as sigh slowly walking back to him, letting him hold her, feeling his warmth all around her.
"But Alexa, you will not loose me," he whispered as he removed some of her dark locks from her ear.
"Just don't fall in love," she said, turning so that he could feel her salty tears against his chest wondering why she so badly didn't want him to do just that.
It was early the next morning that Alexandra found herself waking up next to the man, which name was Alesandro; she just lay there looking at him. He was just so perfect with his dark curly hair and fit body.
She had meet him at the party the night before and ended up at his place, they hadn't done anything else than talk all night about anything between heaven and earth and Alexa had never before had that much fun.
The young girl bent down and kissed his lips softly to wake him up. Alesandro looked at her with sleepy eyes and smile saying, "So it wasn't a dream, you really are here."
"Mhm," she said and smiled back as her hands gently caressed his chest.
"You hungry?" he asked.
"Not at the moment no, just wanna stay here in bed with you," she said, letting her head fall to rest against him.
She wanted this moment to last for as long as possible as she was fully aware she could not keep him. She could not have any man at all no matter how badly she wanted it, because it seemed like the ones that had fallen in love with her…
She shivered lightly; she didn't want to think about it, at least not for now. But Alesandro noticed even this light shiver and pulled her closer. He sensed she was somewhat scared, but he didn't ask why, after all he had in a way only just met her. Still after the night before it felt like he had known her forever.
In fact he figured he had never met anyone like her before. He sighed a little, his hand gently caressing her skin making her again fell asleep feeling safer than she had ever felt before.
The next days the couple were inseparable and Alexandra had never before been this happy or been feeling so treasured or so loved. She just could stop smiling as he made her heart pound faster and faster every time she thought of him.
She even allowed herself to hope that the curse had been lifted as he was not yet dead which made he feel relived.
At least that was to that early morning a week later. Alexandra and Alesandro had fallen asleep early the night before as they had to get up early to catch their classes the next morning and neither liked to be late.
It was about six when their alarm rang and Alexandra reached to kiss her lover's lips, only he was not warm as he used to, but cold as ice, in fact he was no longer breathing.
Her lip trembled as her tears started to fall down on to her dead man. As more tears started to fall she howled out in agony over her loss, holding onto him still not wanting to let him go.
"Damn you Zeus why did you have to take him as well," she yelled out, head facing the sky before crashing down on the ground still crying knowing she had lost yet another one close to her. Why did this have to happen every time, what crime had she committed to deserve this?
Why oh why? The young girl didn't get it, not at all so she turned her head against the sky yelling, "What crime did I commit to deserve this, damn it Zeus answer me."
In the distance the skies turned black before turning blue again, but that was also all as no answer were replied as the girl continued crying.
Feedback always welcome and very much appriciated :o)
