It's nice being a goddess. Being able to do pretty much WHATEVER you want, messing with mortals, having parties, you know the life! Well, those royalties I do NOT take for granted, especially my immortality. I mean, in this day and age, the silly knucklehead immortals just swing it around like it was, I don't know, there demigod child something! But no, I Eris, goddess of chaos, spirit of discord (dun dun DUN!) is smart enough to keep my own immortal well-being as my top priority. Of course…until I am falsely accused of something I didn't do and it is taken away.

So there we were, up on Mount Olympus in a mansion, Ares's private party in full swing. I was dancing with a hot guy, Dionysus was making wine sprout from his ears, Ares was no where to be found, Aphrodite was no where to be found, everything was going GREAT! The strobe lights and booming music made me slip away from all my chaotic duties.

"You look pretty," The guy (what's his name? Apollo? I dunno. He was drunk) whispered in my ear.

Of course I looked great. I was in a sparkly red dress, no shoes, no make-up, hair down and crazy but still I looked awesome. Gods can choose what age they look so for tonight I choose to be a teenager. It's easier and more free that way.

Everything was fine. Until…my sister showed. A cold breeze sweeped through the room. Nemesis, goddess of revenge (once again, DUN DUN DUN!) She burst through the entrance, all decked out in biker clothes, leather everywhere I looked, and I didn't look much. She had her whip in her hand and the ever-present stern look like she was a biker business woman.

I regret this but she looked good. Her large black wings were tucked neatly in her back, while mine were loosely unfolded. But, with her that could easily change.

I punched away the boy I was dancing with, about to give Nemesis a piece of my mind. I just so happens, the boy I pushed fell into another couple, who fell down on another couple, who fell down on Dionysus, who, being disrupted from him drunken wine trick, made them all go insane. Yeah, that happens a lot with me.

"What the Zeus are you doing here?" I asked her, almost sure that Ares's hadn't invited her, only because she's a minor god. I am too but I and Ares are tight.

"I am here on a personal favor. Lady Aphrodite invited me." I gasped. That skank.

"Did someone say my name?" A voice called from the doors. Aphrodite was coming towards us, looking a little disheveled, trying to fix her wrinkled black skinny dress. Just behind her I saw Ares stumble out, where a big smile on his face. Doesn't that just put a lovely picture in your head?

Aphrodite, making girls jealous since she sprang from sea-foam, smiled when she saw Nemesis.

"Thank you for coming Nemesis, it is a pleasure to work with you." Her voice was like honey, poison seeping through it.

"Your welcome my lady. The messenger of Justice has come to help you. Now, were do we start?" Nemesis eyed me "Should we take this discussion some place else?"

Aphrodite gave me a disapproving look, beautiful eyes suddenly sparked with ferocity then nodded, "Let's go."

They turned, and left.

I could have just let them walk away. I mean, I could have just started dancing with that random guy again or gone over to Ares and talked about his little "adventure" with his girlfriend. But that's no fun!

As soon as they were out the door, I followed, feet light on the ground, not making a sound. I silently opened the door and trailed them down a long elegant hall way.

Once, Aphrodite look back but I blended into the shadows, a trick Hades taught me when we were…never mind. Just read the myths.

So Aphrodite and Nemesis slipped into a small room, a study. They slammed the door before I could get in, so I pressed my ear hard against the door. Aphrodite's high pitched, cruel voice was easy to hear.

"I can't believe him! The nerve!" Aphrodite was mad. No, more than mad. So mad the door got all hot and started bubbling. I had to jump away in order not to burn myself…oh wait I'm immortal…haha.

As soon as the door cooled down I tried listening again. Nemesis tried to settle Aphrodite down who was having a panic attack.

"Now, now my lady. Just tell me what's wrong."

Aphrodite stifled a sob, "Well, I was walking in my garden spying on Ares who was in the pool, because lately he seemed a little…distracted. So as I'm peeking through the Rhododendron bushes, I see him and another woman well…kissing. I got closer and was shocked to find that it was…Eris.

I almost busted that door down. That was a complete, total, utterly gross lie! Ares is like, my brother! And I do not believe in incest! Ick just disgusting!

But Nemesis just grunted in agreement, "I could see Eris doing that. She never did like you. Maybe because she was jealous of you and Ares. What do you suggest I do? I would do anything to right this wrong. I am strongly against affairs."

Gah! The nerve of them! Nemesis knows me! She knows I'm not like that! I've already had my set of immortal children (my little Kakodaimones, so cute!) and I'm not looking for another godly lover…I'm into mortals right now and demigods. It's a phase. I'll get over it.

Anyway, I made a fatal mistake of breathing a little too hard in my rage. So next thing I new, the door swung open with my head still pressed against the door. I fell onto Aphrodite's heels which, by the way, is just an awful thing to do.

"You!" Aphrodite hissed and ripped me up by my hair, which actually hurt. Aphrodite was seething mad, practically glowing with ire. Her soft brown eyes were now hard and black.

Nemesis came behind her, a smug smile on her face, "Lady Aphrodite, I have an idea to deal with her, to get her out of your hair for some time, maybe even forever."

Oh crap. I did not like that smile Nemesis had on her beautiful face. That meant trouble. I had to get out of here.

I swung my barefoot hard at Aphrodite's shin, my long, maybe too long, toenails scrapping her thin shaved legs that look like they should be in a Venus razor commercial…haha get it? Venus is her Roman equivalent? Ehhh….never mind.

Aphrodite growled and let go of me so I took off, running down the hallway, hoping if I get as far as the party room that maybe Ares will help me and all will be good and Aphrodite will realize it wasn't me.

But I didn't even get halfway down the hallway.

Nemesis had advantages-whips and claws.

While I had…my Apple of Discord…oh yes.

I reached up to my necklace, a solid Stygian chain with a golden apple pendent. I yanked off the charm and it instantly grew into a shiny, golden, tantalizing apple. I smiled. This was certainly my pride and joy.

Nemesis was flying, literally up in the air flying, through the hallway. When she almost had me she flicked her whip and caught me around the ankle.

But I threw back my apple, hitting her on the head with a thunk!

I heard Aphrodite scream in agony. Maybe my forbidden fruit worked! But next thing I knew, something soared through the air and smashed on my head.

Aphrodite's hoarse laugh filled the hallway, "You think that little vegetable is going to help you! I've already had my dealings with that putrid thing! It has caused us enough pain. No longer will I be tempted again."

"IT'S A FRUIT!" I screamed.

"Oh, whatever." Aphrodite strutted up and crouched down on the ground, "Now, Eris, are you ready to taste justice? You have no boundaries do you? You and your children, you're disgusting. They are a bane on Olympus. It would be better off if you joined those filthy mortals on Earth, who live and breathe chaos. You would fit right in wouldn't you?"

Nemesis laughed, "Yes she would. My Lady, I think you will be very pleased with my punishment based on the words you just said."

Nemesis stepped on top of me, her weight pressing me against the floor, I screamed but Nemesis forced my mouth shut.

I heard her get out something from a bag. There was a popping, like of a cork and suddenly, Nemesis flipped me, he foot now on my stomach. She was holding a vile containing red liquid. My heart stopped. No. Not that.

I clenched my jaw shut as she stooped down, revenge gleaming in her eyes. I took my chin and thrust it down, and no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't get lose. The red fluid dripped into my mouth, burning as it slid down my throat. My strength was fading, my head was going fuzzy and eyes blurred.

Nemesis raised her hand over me and chanted some words I couldn't understand in my state. But I did understand this-

"Oh mighty Zeus, this minor goddess has done wrong is deserves to be punished. Please take away her immortality until she is fit to return from Earth as a new person, free of slander." No. Zeus won't let Nemesis do that. No. He couldn't…

The thunder rumbled and lights flickered. Zeus had let it be. No! This can't be happening. My eyes fluttered shut and I tried to spit up the red liquid. I don't know if I succeeded because I soon faded into black…
