(A/N) This is my first fic here so I'd really appreciate it if you reviews after reading this!!! Anyway, on with the story!!!
Hermes rushed here and there waking up all the gods and goddesses. Why couldn't they find another, quicker, less exhausting way to get word to the gods about what was going on?! Something frightful had happened. Someone had tried to overthrow the "great god" Zeus last night and had succeeded. The bad thing? He had escaped with a little help from a foolish nymph girl. Now he was looking the dirty little criminals.
"Come awake! Aphrodite! Poseidon! Hestia! Demeter! Everyone!" Hermes yelled rushing from place to place on his winged sandals.
Apollo hadn't even awoken yet! And their King was telling them to get up for the day. Or if Apollo and Helios were still stuck in the meeting that was being called, they were being called to get up for the night.
Everyone appeared yawning and rubbing they're sleepy eyes. Everyone sat in their thrones and awaited the news. The last time this had happened was when Prometheus brought the gift of light to the mortals.
"Everyone shake the sleep from your eyes and hear me!" Zeus' thundering voice commanded. Everyone directed their attention to the King of the Gods.
Ares was wearing a smirk on his handsome face. Hera was also. Oh well like mother like son.
Aphrodite slumped in her throne barely able to keep her eyes open. Hephaestus, was almost snoring, Athena rubbed her head ignoring the curlers in her hair and her owl looked like it was about to drop dead, etc.
"As everyone knows, someone has tried to overthrow me." Zeus continued.
At this all the gods murmured to their neighbors, the sleep forgotten at the moment. Who would try to overthrow Zeus? Not that they wouldn't mind a new king but still!
"Now, my lovely wife, Hera, has given me the names of some people whom she had caught conspiring against me. But she didn't make it known to me because she didn't think anyone would oppose my greatness." Zeus then glanced to Hera who put on a phony smile when he looked at her.
"Ever think that she did it herself?" Aphrodite whispered to Hecate, who was standing right beside her. Hecate laughed quietly.
"Ah-ha!" Zeus exclaimed pointing to the dark goddess.
Hecate started. What did she do? She looked around at everyone who was now staring at her." What? What did I do?" She asked with a surprised look on her face.
"I knew you were one of the culprits!" The weather god accused.
Hecate's face turned from surprise to confusion. A very 'my gods he IS stupid!' look.
"Why would Hecate do it?" Aphrodite asked standing up in defense of her friend.
Zeus heaved a deep sigh. "This saddens me Aphrodite. I didn't think you had conspired against me too."
Aphrodite was, for once, at a loss of words. How could he be accusing her?! She looked to her right where Ares, god of war, sat. His smirk widened and he winked at her.
'I bet HE had something to do with this'
she thought to herself.Apollo, seeing his best friend being pointed at and wrongly accused by his father, sprang up from his throne "You are greatly wrong, Father! Can you not see the culprit is right under your nose?!"
"Right you are my son." When these words came from his father's mouth Apollo felt relieved. "I can't believe you've been against me this whole time Apollo."
Apollo tried to form words but couldn't! "But he… and she… I didn't" Was all he could say.
Artemis couldn't believe this of her father! She was his favorite, so maybe he'd listen to her. But before she could utter one syllable Zeus held up his hand.
He shook his head sadly and sighed "you who have been so loyal to me Artemis. Or so I have thought! All of you have disappointed me! Hecate, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis" He summoned the accused to the middle of the room where he was about to sentence them to something. What, they knew not.
All the gods murmured amongst themselves shocked at who the "criminals" were. But they all got a feeling that something was wrong. Ares and Hera didn't seem so shocked about this.
"From this day on, you will spend your time among the mortals we rule. This time will only be a memory; I am sending you to the future. Ares is going to guard each and every one of you. When you have proven your loyalty to me, he will send you back to us where you will receive no further trouble." At this sentence, there were gasps to be heard and the sound of Hestia fainting.
Aphrodite's face turned from one of confusion to one of near excitement but she tried to hide it as best she could.
"Good-bye." With that they felt the ground fall out from under them and they went plummeting down faster and faster.
"This is kind of fun!" Aphrodite laughed.
Apollo, Artemis, and Hecate smiled and gave a tiny laugh but that was short lived when they landed.
Hecate landed straight down in the dirt, Apollo across her back, Aphrodite across Apollo's, and Artemis's across Aphrodite's.
"MY GODS! You all weigh a ton! Get off of me!" Hecate screamed, irritated that she was at the bottom. She finally tried to push herself up to get them off. And it worked. "You know, I am not you're cushion!" She said rolling her eyes.
Aphrodite rolled hers "like we could help it." She sighed rubbing her back glaring at Artemis.
"It took me less then one mortal second to get here, and it took you ten mortal minutes. Yall are pathetic." They heard a familiar voice say. Aphrodite looked up to see Ares looking down at her sneering.
"Well maybe you wouldn't have had to wait had you and your filthy, scheming mother done this to us!" Aphrodite said standing up and giving Ares a hard push, sending him into the dirt she then spit on him and glared angrily.
Ares stood up to face his enemy "Remember, I'm your ticket out of here so you might want to be nice to me!" Ares growled trying to intimidate the goddess before him. But she didn't move, not even to blink she just stood there glaring at him. The war god then took out a scroll from his vest and opened it letting the paper roll onto the ground and past the four other deities.
"That better just be to make it look important!" Apollo growled.
Their guardian chose to ignore this comment and instead began to read the rules "Rule one, no powers unless you have my permission. Rule two…"
They were all happy to know that the length was just to make it important and that there were a total of ten rules. Ares then rolled the scroll back up and motioned for them to follow him.
They stopped in front of a neat looking white house with only one story. There were three stairs and a ramp going up to a cement porch with a swing and a pot of flowers in a corinthian style vase. The door had a small peephole but that was it as a means of looking out. There were gold numbers not familiar to them that looked like 609.
"What are those figures?" Artemis asked curiously.
"To us they'd be VIOIX." Ares said reading from the scroll.
He opened the door and waited for Apollo to step in, but Apollo was waiting for him to step in so that he could see what his enemy was doing at all times.
"No, no, no. I insist, ladies first." Ares smirked receiving a growl from the sun god.
Hecate stepped past "accidently" stepping on the war god's foot. When Apollo, Hecate, and Artemis got through the door closed behind them. They grew silent. The only thing to be heard was a light slapping noise and then came the voice of Aphrodite: "You little perverted son of a " There was a punching noise and the sound of someone hitting the ground hard followed by footsteps. The door opened and in walked Aphrodite with a smile on her face. They all looked past her to see Ares spread out on the ground rubbing his jaw.
"Whoooooaaaa!!! I don't even wanna know what he did!" Artemis stated with her eyes wide.
Aphrodite rolled her eyes.
"At least someone hit him. I'm just so sorry that it wasn't me!" Hecate said through laughter.
They all tried to hide their laughter when Ares came in glaring at each and every one of them. "Well, maggots, welcome to your new home." Ares growled flicking a switch. They all grew amazed at the sudden light.
(A/N) The first chapter probably sucked but when it gets more into the story then it'll get more interesting! REVIEW!!!
