Chapter 4: The Immortals

Part I

"Harvest GODDESS!!" A shrill voice screamed.

The voice belonged to the young troubled Chelsea. Her face was the color of ripe tomatoes and she was pacing vigorously across the wooden floor of her farm house.

The deity appeared in a flash of indigo light. Her hair was tousled and undone, letting her emerald locks fall softly against her bony shoulders. She appeared to be in a baby blue night gown with fuzzy slippers.

She was tapping her foot impatiently and her arms were crossed across her chest indignantly.

"Well, well well. What do we have here? Feeling a little flirtatious, aren't we, Chelsea?" The idol spoke, her voice harsh and stern. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of her rancher friend.

"Please, Harvest Goddess it was not like I kissed him! Did you even watch us? He grabbed me and took his sweet time kissing me! I swear he touched my butt too! And did you see the lust in his eyes? I made absolutely no advances on him! And here you are calling me a tramp!"

"I never called you that out loud." The spirit retorted. Her face was unchanging- nothing Chelsea said could change her mind.

"Out loud? What do you mean out loud? What do you say in your head, your highness?" Chelsea taunted menacingly.

"I say exactly what I want to say but will not say out loud so as not to upset the feelings of others, Chelsea. And what I say is none of your business. And frankly, you are beginning to make me want to say what I have left unsaid for so long." The idol snapped back.

"Well be my guest! Is her Majesty, the royal Harvest Hooker going to speak her mind? Hallelujah, I will alert your pathetic idiotic servants, the Harvest Slaves at once to prepare the bedroom suite for you and whoever pays you enough for a romantic night in bed!" Chelsea screamed.

Hot tears swarmed down her face. Her cheeks were crimson with rage and her hands were balled up into fists.

That was the last straw.

The goddess drew back her fist and slammed it hard against Chelsea's cheek. The girl flew backwards and slammed against the wall. She slumped on the floor, clutching her throbbing cheek.

The first drop of maroon blood trickled out of her mouth and down her chin. It glistened in the moonlight that shone through the window as it slammed against the floor. Chelsea stared in horror, as tears fell faster and faster from her bloodshot eyes.

"I hate you!" Chelsea shrieked. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! Get out of my house! Do not ever even think of showing your face to me ever again! I never want to see you! I never want to talk to you! I do not even want to think of you! I HATE YOU!!"

Chelsea had done it. She had officially broken every tie between the angels and the mortals. She had sacrificed everything for what? A water demon who could not even speak in full sentences and smelled like fish?

The goddess shook her head. "...If that is your wish, Chelsea. But I will warn you, you have drawn a fine line between the world of the gods and the world of the mortals. You will suffer for your sins. And you can no longer atone for what you have done. Goodbye."

Just before the celestial vanished, Chelsea glimpsed a tiny teardrop fall from her face and splash against the floor. And as the crystalline teardrop hit the floor, Chelsea felt something.

It was a sharp feeling deep in her gut. She knew the goddess' words were true. Her life would never be the same.

She had joined the demons in the war against the seraphs. And it might cost her much much more than she had bargained for.


Part II

She had returned to this place. She had visited only sparsely, on the rarest of occasions. But she had returned.

Chelsea found herself in an empty plain. Nothing but grass, motionless and still. Dead. The sky was black and bleak. Hollow.

The place might have frightened some. But it brought a sort of comfort to the farm girl. For she new she would find what she was looking for.

Wind. It now blew across the field in gusts, transforming the once lifeless plain into a vibrant meadow. And suddenly, the lights flickered throughout the field. Tiny sparks of sun and hope glistened like rays of light.

Fireflies. They scurried and bolted everywhere, taunting and teasing me. They gathered in a circle far across from the brunette, attempting to signal her.

A shaded silhouette shifted across from her at the field. At the feet of the shadow bloomed lavender hyacinths.

Chelsea sprinted to the figure. As she approached, she could make out the subtle details of the person.

It was a woman, slender and lean with light oak brown hair the color of chestnuts. Her skin was pale, but her cheeks were rosy. Her eyes were topaz and twinkled in the beams of moonlight that illuminated the once dim meadow.

"M-mom? Is it you?" Chelsea pried. The woman nodded and grinned. Chelsea embraced her mother and the two shared a touching reunion.

"Mom, I need help. I made a bet with my friend the Harvest Goddess, well ex-friend now, but anyways we bet I couldn't grow every crop in one year. I grew everything but cucumbers and I needed help so I went to the Kappa for help and he promised to teach me if I agreed to marry him. ...I told him I would."

Chelsea stole a glance at her mother. The woman's eyes showed concern, but not discontent with her daughter's impulsive decision.

"But the goddess and I decided that I wouldn't have to marry him because I could use my reward from winning the bet, one free wish to get myself out of the marriage. But the Kappa and I had dinner together and then he KISSED me, of all the horrible, reckless, horrid-"

Chelsea then inhaled a deep breath of air and then continued on with her tale.

"-things to do to a single woman who is confused within herself. Anyways, the Goddess and I got into a fight and we started calling each other tramps and hookers and floozies and then she punched me! I told her I hated her and that I never wanted to have to think of her ever again and she said something cryptic. She told me the line had been drawn between the world of the gods and the mortals. I do not know what to do. I think I may have ruined everyone's lives!"

Chelsea's mother rested a petite hand on her daughter's shoulder.

"Dear, I must be honest. I have never had to deal with such a problem before in my life."

The mother's comforting smile turned into a worried frown. "But I will support you throughout this difficult journey. I am your mother, and even though I may have left your world, I will continue to attempt to assist you in every way I can. I love you."

The duo hugged and then Chelsea asked in a choked up whisper, her voice cracking through her troubled tears, "Mom... will everything be okay?"

Her mother paused and contemplated for a moment before answering.

"Yes, dear. I believe so. I think that if you do what you believe is right and you listen to your heart and what it desires and yearns for, then it will lead you down the right path. ...Now I must go. I do not know how long it will be before we can meet again, my dear. But always remember, I will love you eternally."

Her mother bent down and kissed her daughter gently on the forehead and faded away, leaving Chelsea alone and cold in her hollowed old dream world.


I decided to split this chapter into two parts. I was going to make this two separate chapters but they turned out to be too short separately so I combined them into one whole chapter. Part II is actually based on another piece I wrote called Fireflies. It actually has some direct excerpts from it. It is found on my FictionPress account- CelesteFeather. It is short, but sweet and I think it had some good content so I decided to add some bits and pieces her and there. I wanted to include Chelsea's mother because it seems like Chelsea would be a character very attached to her mother and would appear quite like her.

That's about it, so thanks for reading! Please, please, PLEASE take time to review as it makes me want to write more of the story so the more you review, the more you get! :)
