Blah took lomger to update then I originally anticpated, but here we go. The first name listed on the title is the POV for the chapter, so I can do the same pairing from the other POV.
I may start a multi-chapter Hades and Persephone so watch for that.
Dont forget to reveiw! It encourages me to write a lot faster!
I look away as I see him leave the mountain. It's not really unexpected anymore. He just goes without a word, without even a glance. From the very beginning I was drawn to him and wanted him. He is the only one to ever make me feel
what mortals call love. But it isn't the same for him. I'm just filler before the next nymph or mortal comes along. I wonder, if I were to disappear, how long would it take him to notice? Right away or would it take until he was finished with
his current lover before he realized I was gone? Some days I think that I hate him, but then he returns and I feel a stirring of hope once more. Hope that this time maybe, just maybe, he will remain faithful and not torture me by leaving
again. Then the cycle begins again and I find myself thrown to the side once more.
The first time he left was the worst. We had just married and I was so happy. Then one day I discovered the truth. She wasn't important, not in any way except for that she was the first. The first of many betrayals that haunt me every
day. By now I can barely remember her face let alone her face. I killed her of course. When I found out what was happening with her and my husband. So now I have a reputation for being a jealous and vindictive goddess. Tell me, what
you would do, if you were a young bride and you found out your husband is cheating on you for the first time. If you were in my shoes wouldn't you do the very same thing? Or, at least wish you had the power to do what I did to her. I
cannot repay him in kind though. If I were to take a lover, my power would break. I am the goddess of marriage and fidelity, my power is tied to those values, so if I were to betray my own power, I would never be able to go back to
what I once was. I wonder if he knew this when we were first married. Knew that I would never be able to leave him or betray my marriage values. At least I shall always have my children and my family. When the children that he
produces are gods, it is different from when they are mortal heroes. When they are godly children they belong in the world and are part of the family. It is when they are demi-gods the problems start. Heroes the mortals call them. I hate
them. They are reminders of my husband's infidelities and those of all the immortal parents.
I am the Queen of Olympus, Wife of Zeus, Queen of the Gods.
And all I want is my husbands love.
