The Goddess

and

The Greatest Showman

Prologue

It's Fire and Terror

Nightmares return

She could smell the rancid smells of burning flesh all around her feel the flames touching her body making her feel dirty she felt the ice coldness of the slap the leather around her wrist and ankles, she couldn't help but wonder again how she had gotten herself into this mess. "Leticia my love it is so good of you to awaken and join us." and there was her answer the man she thought loved her, who proclaimed to love her wanted to spend forever with her, at least that was what he had told her he had her thinking that in spite of her beard he loved her not just because of her magic. "Go to hell you monster you used me!" Lettie whispered her voice a tundra cold tone to it still the man in the cloak did nothing just stared at her in unhidden lust and terror he wanted to conquer her no he wanted to destroy her, her power the power of the gods would be his and then the world. "Oh my sweet you are wrong I am freeing you from those who are holding your powers back. Your family do not see you as I do." He whispered as he took a dagger and began to slow rip through her clothes Lettie bit her cheek she would not let him see her cry she would not show fear. "They were right about you. Emilio they said that you only wanted me for the power of the goddess, but you cannot handle the power of the goddess! Only I can." Lettie screamed as Emilio deliberately cutting her creamy skin rivulets of blood began to drizzle down her legs from her thighs.. "tsk tsk tsk darling you need to behave we cannot have our servants seeing less than perfect now can we?" He ask as he lowered his lips on to the cuts and began to lick up the blood. Lettie couldn't breathe she wanted to die to take the power of the goddess with her so he couldn't get his hands on it. Emilio looked up into her eyes she willed herself to be frozen she would not let him see how horrified she was how hurt at him for letting her believe that he loved her beard and all. but most of all she would not let him she the anger she had at herself for not listening to her sister and parents. For thinking that they did not want her to be happy because of her beard. "Now my dear we will need to get rid of that beard first before we can begin the ceremony we must have you looking the part of the goddess then we can consummate our marriage as the new god and goddess of the world, all those who hold magic will bow down to us. if not..." He shrugged carelessly as if the life's of the magic's and normal's did not matter to him They don't. she thought bitterly just as Lettie was about to resign herself to her fate of death BANG BANG! followed by an answer to her prayers. "LETTIE LETTIE WHERE ARE YOU MY DAUGHTER EMILIO! YOU HAVE GONE TO FAR!" Lettie looked down towards the stairwell and with all the strength she could muster yelled out "PAPA! BECKA I AM UP HERE HURRY HE IS STARTING SOMETHING AHHH!" "QUITE BITCH YOU ARE MINE AND THEY WILL NOT HAVE YOU!" Emilio screamed at her Lettie was truly scared now but she was not going to let this monster see it. Emilio looked over his shoulder at a person covered from head to toe in black Lettie could not tell if it was male or female. "Take care of them or you and your coven will face to consequences." the figured nodded not wanting to anger the dark one. Becka Lutzero looked around as she pulled her board sword out of the head of another demon. She say her father and couldn't help to tease even though the situation was quite serious. "well Papa that is 199 for me and 190 for you. are we getting slow in our old age?" she ducked quickly as her father threw a stiletto at a hell hound trying to sneak up on his youngest. Giovanni Lutzero chuckled appreciating his daughters ability to keep calm in a hot situation especially when her older sister was in trouble. "Ha child do not forget who taught you and Lettie how to hold a rapier before the two of you could walk." as he jumped and rolled from a golem trying to bash his skull in. His wife Sapphire quickly finished the mindless creature off giving both father and daughter hard stares before allowing smirk to grace her features. "Hurry you two this is not the time for competition." "Yes mama" Becka replied solemnly while Gio stood up and wiped some blood of his cheek. "Of course my dear you are right. Our family continue to fight these fools we are going to rescue the goddess more importantly our daughter." The family of warriors gave a war cry for victory. Sapphire smiled she knew her family would save her first born she had failed Leticia in so many ways now she was going to make it up to her. "besides my love and my sweet daughter I am at 212 kills to yours." With that Sapphire summoned her elemental guardian and together they flew up the stairs towards her baby. Becka grumbled "I hate it when she does that." As she began to sprout wings from her back Gio just laughed as he too began to fly quickly to the top. Lettie was frantic now she was completely nude a thing sheet covering her Emilio had begun to rid himself of his clothes. now she was panicking she couldn't summon the power of the goddess although she could feel her counterpart howling with anger not being able to help her partner and friend out of this mess do not fret my friend it is my fault I feel for his charms. Lettie thought sadly she knew Tea could still hear her thoughts. No my dear little goddess it is as much my fault as it is yours if I hadn't told you to pursue him this wouldn't have happened but I thought he was your chosen knight he clearly blinded us both. the Tea tried to calm herself down knowing it would do no good for her to wear herself out it would only hurt her dear Lettie. they two's prayers were answered when a blast of ice came right at Emilio who quickly dodged unfortunately fortunately thought he cut off one off the wrist straps that held Lettie on and forgot the knife as he began to throw dark spheres of fire at her mother "Mama!" She screamed as she began to quickly cut herself out of the restraints. Sapphire looked at her daughter naked and bruised beaten within an inch of her life but still fighting That is my girl she thought with sad pride Sapphire felt that it was her fault for her daughters predicament do not fear milady the goddess will not fail. her soul partner Sapphire nodded barely as she dodged the insane mans shots he was getting sloppy. all of a sudden a bolt of lightning hit Emilio knocking him into a wall momentarily knocking him off. Becka and Gio had finally appeared Beka ran towards her sister keeping one eye on the monster and his followers. "Well mi amore you took long enough." Sapphire laughed dryly Gio just shrugged his shoulders as he slammed his fist into one of Emilio's followers. "Lettie Lettie are you alright oh sister I am so sorry I didn't protect you." Rebekah cried out in misery she had promised her sister that she would always have her back and she had failed miserably all because Becks was angry at Lettie for not listening to her about Emilio but know was not the time to say I told you so it was a time to say I am here for you. "Are you alright? Lettie?" Becks asked she couldn't hide the tears in her voice Lettie just pulled her sister into her arms and gently stroked her head "I knew you mama and papa would come and save me." She whispered soon Lettie felt her parents arms around her as her sister slowly backed away still on guard she knew that Emilio would not be out for long soon Rebekah noticed the stones where the master of darkness had crumbled on him began to move Beks quickly pulled her shield up and around her sister and her parents. "Rebekah what are you doing!?" Her father called out in fear he did not either one his daughters to get hurt "Papa do not worry it is my duty to protect my sister to protect the goddess I failed in that before I will not now or ever fail in that duty again!" Rebekah Growled as she began to draw her rapier out and began to slowly walk to the pile of stone. in a blink of an eye the stones exploded around them Rebekah was glad she had put up the force field around her parents as baseball sized balls of stone came flying all around. "Hello Emilio I see my sister dropped your sorry ass." Beka smirked as she began to swing her sword around and let her magic surround herself as well as Emilio Let his dark magic surround himself as well he began to hiss. "Hello bitch I ssseee that you survived the present I sent you I am glad now I can drink your blood myself." He lunged at her rage blazing from his eyes. Rebekah snarled as she began to charge as well "YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE YOU MONSTER OF DARKNESS YOU MAYBE THE NEW DARK LORD BUT AS LONG AS THE WILL OF FIRE AND THE DETERMINENATION OF THE LUTZERO FAMILY I WILL NOT FAIL YOU WILL DIE TONIGHT!" Lettie screamed her parent also screamed but no sound came out of their mouths they watched in horror as the two warriors crashed into each other. "NO No NO! Beks NOOOOOOOO!" Lettie screamed soon she heard a voice calling out to her "LETTIE LETTIE WAKEUPPLEASE LETTIE YOU NEED TO WAKE UP!" she felt someone shaking her and she quickly sat up her body drenched in sweat and shivering in fear It was just a dream just a dream little one the goddess whispered quietly to her its voice was slowly draining the merger between them was nearly complete Lettie slowly opened her eyes to the dark brown eyes of the one and only Phineas Taylor Barnum holding her tightly as if afraid that she would start hurting herself she was thrashing. Lettie took a deep breath Her sister was a live her ex-fiancée was dead her family was safe it wasn't her fault "Phineas what what are you doing here?" She gasped finally realized who it was holding her not her father, or mother, or even her dear little sister. But the man that had been lately haunting her dreams when the nightmares weren't trying to take over. P.T. stared into her dark brown eyes letting himself get lost in their beauty. He quickly cleared his throat, "I was walking by your room when I heard you scream are you alright?" he began to wipe her face off gently the sweat that had been running down her face during the nightmare. "You were umm also ummm glowing." PT whispered quietly not wanting to scare the bearded lady anymore than she already was he could still feel her shaking in his arms. I wish I could take her pain away I can't stand to see my songbird like this. Pt stopped for a moment my songbird? no I must have meant the circuses songbird that right the families treasure. which is what she was to the whole circus a mother, sister, friend, and second in command the heart and soul of this entire group. Lettie sighed she didn't know what to say or what to think the nightmare of that night still haunted her dreams it will be three years ago in a week since that incident the same night as her birthday. " I am sorry PT I didn't mean to scare you or wake you up." Lettie quickly got up and put her robe on and went to the water jug on the other side of the room. " You wield magic don't you?" And in that instant Lettie realized she had woken from one nightmare to another one.
