Chapter 2.
Up in the Olympus Hera had heard the young girl's yells so she found her husband and asked, "One of your mistresses, dear."
"No, I swear I never been with her ever and she is way too young," he said.
"Are you sure, cause this is not the first time she has cursed at you like that," said Hera with a puzzled look on her face.
"Oh so you keep track on everyone that curse at me now?" he asked rolling his blue eyes a little at her.
"Not all, that would in all honesty take too long, but there is something special about this girl, are you absolutely sure you got nothing to do with her or her parents?" she asked.
"Who are her parents?" he asked her trying to remember if she could possibly be one of his negligent children.
Hera sighed before dragging him with her down on earth where she showed them to him.
"No I do not know them my darling," he said honestly.
She could tell he was telling the truth and said, "Just odd that this girl get so unlucky."
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Every man she falls for end up dead, not to mention how beautiful she is, almost as she is not human," she said thoughtfully.
"She's not yours then I take it?" he asked.
"Oh please," she said rolling her eyes.
"You said she was beautiful," he said honestly.
"Perhaps, but she is a brunette and my hair is red, besides I do not cheat," she said.
He nodded in an agreeing way and without thinking he said, "If I hadn't known better I'd say she belonged to Aphrodite or maybe Athena."
"Why would they in that case leave her on earth?" she asked.
"How should I know why women do as they do," he said shaking her head.
This comment didn't fall to well with his wife as she gave him a knock in the side making him go, "Hey."
"You asked for it, so are you gonna ask them about her?" she required.
"Yes, yes," he said with a sigh, thinking, Do I have choice, dragging her back up with him.
When they came back up Zeus at ones found Aphrodite and asked, "Do you have a minute."
"For you yes," she said with a smiled.
"Do you by any chance have a daughter down on earth?" he asked her straight forward.
"Why would you think that," she said, looking at him a bit surprised.
"Because there is a girl down there that is more than a human in many ways and she got good looks like you," he said with a sigh.
"Why thank you, but no," she said, blushing just a little.
"Are you sure of this," he said.
"I am yes," she said, but it was something that made him think she was not telling the truth.
"Why?" he asked her.
"Why what?" she asked back with a very tired sigh.
"Because I am not like you," the answer sounded.
"What do you mean?" he asked confused.
"You go around and plant seeds and leave them without thinking about the consequences and Hera takes you back every time. My husband and my lover are aware of each other and have come to piece with that, but sixteen years back I ran into a man down on earth and it lead to Alexandra. I couldn't bring myself to tell me husband and my lover in fair of what it would make them do, I didn't want to loose it all due to a mistake so I left her down there with a couple I saw suitable to raise her. I did not however think that her gifts would cause her so much pain," she explained sadly.
"Awww, Dite I am sorry," said Zeus pulling her closely.
"Please don't tell them about her," she whispered.
"I won't, but you should probably talk to her," he said.
"I can't do that, nor do I have the power to remove the power that makes all she loves dies,"
she whispered sadly.
"Dite, she is your daughter and she deserves to know," he said.
"Don't you think I know that, don't you think I think of her every day that goes by, but Zeus I can't," she said sadly as she broke free from her embrace and started to walk away while he wondered if there was anything he could do.
