Hey guys! I know I've been making a lot of new stories lately, but what can I say? An author always has idea's right?! I just wanted to tell all of my readers from all my other stories, that I love you all and thank you for keeping up with me!! I've been thinking about discontinuing The Change. So, with that said, 1) if you haven't read me other stories, I suggest you do! and 2) enjoy!
Oh and let me tell you a little but of information so you don't think I'm some wacko writer.
Cronos is a roman god who controls time, he can see into the future and past, he can rewind time or fast forward time. He can pause time, also.
Echo is the roman goddess of nature, she can control the earth and bend it at her own will.
Now this is what the romans truly believe and I incorporated their beliefs into my story. But mine is more modern and the main characters are not roman gods, they have the title of 'God and Goddess' but that's because they live in a seperate realm then the humans. Here, only rare indivuals have powers such as controlling these, and those rare indiviuals are considered Gods and Goddesses, they are respected as such but they are just like any other supernatural out there, they are equal too vampires or werewolves, or pixies, or fairies, but are treated with a tad more respect by some.
I looked out of the great window of my cabin, staring into the rows of pine tree's, the long grass, the dried up leaves, the patches of grass, the logs. With a cup of jasmine tea in my hand, I sighed and sat down on my stool, with a smile. Pure bliss, to be surrounded by the things I love most, nature. I stared at the polychromatic painting canvas. It was surrounded by the different shades of green, yellow and brown. The paint streaks carried to the top of the canvas in a soulful green color. I took a sip of my tea, and picked the brush up again. I added in a light red color to the top of the tree, and carried it down, turning it into the thick brown of the trunk. I walked outside on to my deck and stared in awe at the long beautiful picturesque tree's, I closed my eyes and listened to the ruffles of the leaves, the small bunnies hopping in the patches of grass, the insects singing, the birds chirping, the couple laughing.
Wait wait wait, rewind please, the couple? What couple? This is my territory, no human is allowed on it. I walked around the house and watched from my balcony at the the man and women kissing intimately on the log of my tree. Irritation bubbled inside of me when I saw the man's head move with each stroke. My eyebrows furrowed and I called on the Earth, with an angered push, two vines came out of the forest floor and it wrapped on the foot of the man. With a quick strike, I pulled the vine back with my mind and the man fell face first into the dirt. A small laugh escaped my lips, and the man heard. He jumped on to his feet and looked angrily at me. My eyes widened as I saw the man. Beautiful blonde hair that slithered down to his shoulders choppily, pale blue eyes that sparkled wonderfully as his eyes squinted in anger. His perfect lips pursed angrily together.
The man looked in awe but quickly recovered. "What the hell was that for!" he said angrily.
"For being in my territory."
The man opened his mouth but I strode into the house and slammed my sliding door shut.
Cronos POV
My irritation spiked and glared angrily at the girl. I paused time and swiftly left my 'friend' frozen on the bench and walked up the stairs of the cabin. I used the door that the woman used and walked into her home. Her back was frozen, turned towards the wall, so I could not see her face clearly, but what I had seen for that split second was beyond anything I had ever seen. Gorgeous long wavy brownish-redish hair traveled down her shoulder and came a little bit past her mid back. Her green eyes twinkled angrily, her light pink lips pursed just like mine had. The paint marks on her cheek were scrunched up. I turned time back on, and she was closing the door, as if nothing had happened.
"Running from me?" I sneered, of course she was beautiful, but I was still angry, no humiliated and angry. She quickly turned around, her brown hair flying around her. Her perfectly groomed eyebrows furrowed, two long vines suddenly pushed through the wooden floor boards and came to float protectively around this stranger.
"Who are you?" she asked, "and how did you get into my house."
I smiled innocently, "I am Cronos, God of Time." I paused, "And you are?"
She glared at me, "You don't need to know." her own back door opened on it's own, "Get out and do not come back in or I won't hesitate to kill you."
I snapped my fingers, "I know who you are now! I've heard a lot about you."
She glared at him but it had no effect, "Oh really? Who?"
"You're the famous, short-tempered Echo, Goddess of Nature, am I right?"
"Wow. I'm surprised a dipshit like you could figure that out!"
And that's supposed to hurt my feelings? Her vines pointed towards the door,
"Get out." she repeated.
I smirked, "Nice to meet you too, Echo." I started walking towards the door, but stopped when it came to her and bent my head in, "I'll see you at the meeting tonight." I whispered. I kept walking and didn't look back, but I heard her growl in anger then slam the door shut.
"Cronos!" the girl I was with complained, what was her name again? Mandy? Mindy? Cindy? Sandy? Tina? Might as well give it a try. "Where were you, babe?" she asked sadly.
I stroked her cheek with my thumb, "My dear, Tina, I had to go do some errands, real quick."
She giggled, "But...my names not Tina!"
I tilted my head to the side, "But you look more prettier as a Tina. Can I call you that?"
She tapped my nose, "No silly! My names Briannah." Hey. I was close...
"Then Briannah it is." I said with a seductive smile and started walking with my arm around her waist. Though I was touching this girl, my mind was wrapped around this girl..this...beautiful stranger. She truly deserved the title of a Goddess.
