Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
John walks away from the bench. What he felt was weird, weirder than he expects in life.
He is immortal. The famed Number Four. He is one of the six. The six that destroyed most of the Mogadorians and helped replenish their home planet. The Lorics were now at war with the Moggs. There were enough elders to help now. His queen was one of them.
When all of them met to take on the antagonist's largest army, they found out she had all the Legacies, which was great as she was the one to finish it all. The contenders are still alive and they have taken on the task of hunting down John's kind and killing them, as many have created homes on Earth.
Many wait for the queen to have a child, an heir to the throne.
He laughs lightly as he knows his friend, the Queen, will not have a child just because crowds tell her to, she will have a child out of love. The Queen is currently here on Earth but he won't reveal her location. She is blending in nicely as a human.
He hears something in the shadows of a thin junk piled lane. John knows exactly what it is and steps in far enough so people won't notice. He looks at his hands and lights them up. The sound of a hiss reaches his ear and he takes out his concealed otherworldly sword. It's a good thing the evil creatures of Mogador hate light. The sword he has is same sword Henri, his guardian or Cepan, had given him. His hand slashes out as a figure crumples into the dust.
The Gardes have gotten stronger. The saviors of the planet received immortality, which meant he was a never dying man, excuse me, alien.
In the elevator after slotting in the key, she leaned back against the wall and smiled. He wasn't like other mortal men she has met, adding in the fact she has not met many.
Hera is happy. For the first time since finding out about Zeus's first affair she is happy. Everyone thinks of her as a nasty, cranky bitch, yet no one noticed her pain. She felt like John saw her for her, the real Hera who, before all the insanity, was actually nice. The elevator dings telling her she is on Olympus. Her stomach flutters. She takes a step and the Gods that were working outside, sitting, playing or tending to gardens, all ceased in their work.
She walks past everyone never meeting an eye. She steps on her porch and turns around.
"Continue what you are doing, don't stop 'cuz of me", she commands. Everyone returns to their tasks at hand but this time nervously. Thank the Fates there were only minor Gods, she wondered how she'd be able to handle one of the twelve.
She walks into her mansion and closes the door and puts her back to it. Hera breathed heavily and tears streamed down her face.
"You really need me, so why did you say you didn't?" a deep voice directed at her.
Hera looks up and to her shock, by her dresser, stands the mighty Sky God himself. His sad, stormy grey eyes meet hers.
She hastily wipes the tears away with the back of her hand. She stands up and looks up at him, crosses her arms and scrutinized him with a look of defiance.
"I don't need you, I never did Zeus. I convinced myself you were all I wanted and everything I needed. I was wrong". She choked back a sob.
"Hera", he breathed as he took steps toward her in his Italian shoes and held his hand out to touch her arm. She slapped it away, stepped back and her back hit a column.
"Just stay away from me", she said through gritted teeth. "Just stop."
She hated him and didn't want her touching him, at all.
"Hera, why? I love you—"
"You never loved me, Zeus", her voice croaked. "You never did, 'cuz if you did then we wouldn't be standing here while you try to make me believe your stupid words". Hera knew she shouldn't be insulting the Lord of the Universe but right now she just couldn't care. "Let me be, Zeus, just let me be".
"Hera, you're everything to me, you know you are. I only agreed to an annulment so that we ca—"
Again, she cut him off."—So that you can go mess around with your little whores. So you can do it without having to worry about me! Whoa, wait, you won't worry, you never even cared!" She screamed at him. He shouldn't have tapped into her rage. She was mad, mad as Tartarus."We are over and I will make sure that I won't have to go through that pain again. Now. Get. Out".
Zeus gazed at her flabbergasted. He didn't know this Hera. Hera would never yell at anyone, except for the women of his affairs. Yet, she never dared to raise her voice to him. She always respected him and showed him by always being on his side. After all, she is the Goddess of Marriage.
He tries to come closer but she squirms away. He sighs in regretted defeat and transports himself to his home, leaving a shaking Hera alone to console herself.
Zeus and Hera meet, and there is drama. People think that Hera is mean and always tries to hurt people, and believe me I was one of those people, until I saw it from her point of view. Wouldn't you do the same thing if your husband cheated on you for 2000 years and you could do nothing about it?
Anyway, please review, I want to know what you all think.
