As I hear the footsteps getting closer, I try to make myself as unnoticeable as possible below the car's seat…yes there is a lot of room between the seats and floor…okay and maybe I am just that thin but that's beside the point right now. I was trying to go into what I'd assume to be the flight side of fight or flight instincts.

But since when do you need instincts to hide from the Greek and Roman Gods of love? I mean come on now this is too much in one okay fine, two days, but the footsteps kept on getting closer like really close until I can just barely make out the shadow of a man.

I started to shake violently but then stopped and reminded myself that if they found me I'd have to face them I mean Anubis can't always be there to protect me. I mean Anubis and Horus can't always be there to protect me I forgot about Horus for a second there, how could I do that?

The backseat door was opened and a man, now I have to mentally sigh, no, not a man, a God sticks his head in to investigate. I'm guessing red hair doesn't exactly help me with stealth but the God saw me and smiled.

"I've found her Cupid," he says with a voice like silk and low as if he were talking to a kitten who had gotten scared and had hid behind a stove.

"There, there now Όμορφο we aren't going to hurt you."

I guess he said that because although I had already been found I moved back into the chair even more, honestly I felt horrible I was being pathetic, hiding behind a seat like a child. All the same though I didn't move but I did make a mental note to pay attention in lessons about stranger danger.

"I know Anubis and Horus have probably made you think poorly of us but do not worry we will not hurt you in fact we'll take you to Anubis and Horus," he promised.

"Yes, not a thing to worry about," Cupid said in an angelic voice I hadn't noticed that he'd opened up the front driver's door.

I realized then I had to make a choice and I did I got from under the seat and climbed out of the car and thought to myself that I'd might as well attempt to regain any form of pride I had left and looked up at the two of them who were very handsome and a great deal taller than me.

"Hello, my name is Kia. and you are two Gods."

Eros, I could tell from the way his blonde hair touched his shoulders unlike Cupid's smiled at me and said, "You are correct I am Eros, the Greek God of love and he is Cupid, the Roman God of love."

"Hello pulchra."

I had to assume that meant beautiful considering what Eros had called me meant beautiful as well. I picked up on a bit of Greek, and Latin, I knew a lot of random words from different languages, I just wasn't fluent in all of them.

Eros and Cupid wrapped their arms around my waist and pulled me along. I normally would pull away from something like this, but the fact that they were Gods sort of changed it a bit. They asked me many small, and what I thought to be insignificant, questions like my favorite color, it happened to be violet red but they turned it into this big production talking about my soul being filled with love and how beautiful it was and something about lilies and roses. Somehow all tied into the color violet.

After what seemed like two hours of walking, we came to this giant tree and Eros put his hand to it.

"What are…." I quickly trailed off as I realized the tree was glowing and the Maasai Mara was slowly disappearing behind around us, I realized I was standing on a cobblestone road. It had small little shops, but no one was anywhere to be found.

The sky was gray where we stood off, but far off in the distance, I could see blue skies and the sun behind a huge mountain. But then I looked to my right and in the distance I could see something that looked like the coliseum, but uh actually in one piece.

Then finally I saw a giant Pyramid which was on my left, but a lot bigger than the giant pyramids of Egypt, and a castle next to that which, from what I could see a pure white like the clouds.

I gaped at them and looked at Cupid; Eros looked like he was locking the door or something.

"There are more….but we as the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians…..well let's just say when you're a boss you get first dibs on the land."

He explained as he noticed I was staring at him.

"Oh my God," I heard a rumble amongst the clouds and jumped into Cupid's side.

Cupid must've found it amusing because he snickered before he said, "oh yeah, he doesn't like it if you take his name in vain, then again neither do the rest of us, but he's the one that gets the most riled up about it."

My mouth began moving like a fish because it was opening and closing but no words came out whatsoever.

Cupid and Eros began to laugh at me and I soon shut my mouth completely but what was going through my mind was: What. The. Hell.

After finding a bench on the side of the cobble stone road Eros explained to me that all religions were right but some like atheists….kind of made them sad that people had lost so much faith in them, but they had an afterlife too.

I wanted to remind them that they'd disappeared for the past few thousand centuries, so maybe they shouldn't be so shocked, but I didn't and told them I never lost hope in them entirely.

Mind you, I neglected the fact that I used think of them as nothing more than myths and paintings on a wall, and it's awfully hard to lose faith in something like that.

We kept on walking until we were in the sun. The sun here felt so nice I didn't understand it, but there was something different about it.

As I was standing there a flying chariot, yes a flying chariot came flying right past me. I stumbled back but caught myself so I didn't fall. When I was little I went to stealth camp so I was pretty okay with not falling….all the time. Best two weeks of my life.

But on the Brightside I was a wonderful eavesdropper, okay maybe that's only bright for me, but still.

So, anyway the chariot was gone as soon as it appeared, but I was sure Eros mumbled something about Ares being a show off or something like that.

I didn't have time to think on it because just then Horus and Anubis appeared and I remembered I still hadn't chewed them out for leaving me in a car and not telling me everything when I had just found out about the Gods.

I couldn't focus on blaming them completely because really I should've known better than to get into some hot guys I mean Anubis' car without knowing them for even a day and then to sit down and eat with his hot cousin- I mean Horus ugh stop calling them hot I'm supposed to be mad at them.

"You two! Where were you? You left me in a car alone with nothing more than a note and then I find you here in the home of the…the Gods and then thankfully Cupid and Eros come along and help me, by the way you were supposed to be hiding me? Well, here's a little advice don't you ever play hide and go seek you'd fail miserably, and what's all this nonsense about taking names in vain and whatnot was I really supposed to be following all those commandments? Is that even possible….at all? I mean you two lied to me and not lying is listed in one of the commandments is it not? Oh and another thing why were you hiding me to begin with?"

I had said my rant in one breath and they were all staring at me but at some point they had in fact gone a bit pale. I was being a bit overly dramatic admittedly, but honestly wouldn't you be after today?

Horus got his courage and tried to explain, "You see Kia we would have explained all of that to you if you would have waited for a wee hour or two in the car like we asked you to, mind you, and you were very well hidden, these two idiots are the only idiots that'd be able to find you, and as for the commandment thing we're Gods we can do whatever we want and not die so we don't worry that much because we literally have forever to get our souls in order and still have time to spare."

He took a breath and continued, "and no we do not like our names being thrown about all the time, do you? And no it is not possible to be follow the commandments because humans are not perfect….in the slightest."

I may have let all that go if it wasn't for the last comment and I said. "well sorry but last time I checked you the Gods made us as imperfect."

"Well yes this is true but still….."

"Oh and you are perfect?"

"…Yes," Horus said it so seriously that I knew he truly believed that and I as I figured had right to be was mad.

"Fine then sense you're so perfect you can do whatever it is you're supposed to be doing alone because I am going home," I hadn't noticed that Eros and Cupid were chuckling at the situation Horus had gotten himself into as they had begun to leave. I also didn't realize they had put two gifts in my pocket until a bit later.

"You can't be serious you're going to take off on such a petty little argument."

I bared my teeth pivoted and then stormed back down the hill. I had completely missed Anubis slapping Horus in the back of the head but I did hear him.

"Kia wait, Kia!" He called for me but I didn't wait nor stop.

But just as I thought he'd given up the God was standing right in front of me holding my shoulders so I couldn't move.

"Don't leave Kia Horus is naturally arrogant and was already sort of in a bad mood."

"And this is my fault how?"

"It isn't but Horus is like that at times he doesn't understand the prospect of control."

"I'm still leaving you haven't told me much of anything so maybe I can go home, tell a therapist about all this, and get put on something or perhaps get thrown into a rubber room."

"A bit dramatic aren't we?"

"No," Okay looking back on it now, yes I was being a bit dramatic.

"Come on now Kia even if I let you walk out the door others will come for you and bring you back."

"It's my life, I can choose and if I don't want to be here with you and all these Gods and other…other I don't know what's, then I can choose that, and you cannot and will not stop me."

"No, you will not, you will stay here no matter what or else."

"Is that a threat?"

"No….it is a promise," his voice changed as if he were enforcing something and his eyes flared now that I was really looking at him he looked angry and hurt….I did not understand any of this. Was he upset that I didn't want any part of this? No that couldn't be it.

"I don't even know what you want from me."

"I'll explain it to you at the banquet," he started to pull me along and I was resisting failing but still trying.

"Ugh no I told you I DON'T go to strange places with strangers."

He turned to face me and spoke with a voice like a growl, "You got into my car before you knew my name, you let me pay your check when you had only known me for less than a day, you went into a tomb with me at night, not because I was some stranger, but because you trusted me, now you need to trust me again and go to this banquet, never mind Horus, he'll get over his upset and feel the aftershock of his words and admit to being sorry."

"You say he'll be sorry for his word not that he's wrong," I pointed out.

"He is Horus, God of War if you ask me more of a God of pride, but he is too proud to admit to being wrong…even if he knows he is."

After about five minutes I finally agreed to go back but when we made our way back Horus and the other two were gone and a black great Dane, yes I said great Dane, drawn carriage was waiting for us and Anubis smiled that friendly smile to me and took my hand and said, "my lady."

It was obvious that he was no longer angry with me in the slightest.

I took his hand and hopped in as he got in next the dogs seemed to effortlessly hoist the carriage in fact they looked as if they were having fun.

Cut…All I have to say is please review and I am sorry for not updating I know I am a terrible person.
