Chapter: 7: The Reunion
Few days later:
When I woke up all I could feel was a stinging pain and it took me a while to realize where it was coming from. As I woke myself up, I realized it was coming from my throat. I may be immortal: but I was no Olympian. I needed to be in the water again. To feel the cold sea rush beside me as I swam with the oceans' most beautiful creatures. I made up my mind right then and there: I needed to get back to the water and transform into the life form I was born to take. Will I have to see Poseidon, Yes but: if I did not get back soon who knows what could happen. I needed to get up. As I lifted my body up, the pain only increased. It now surpassed my throat and entered my chest. I physically could not talk. I began to think how long I was away from the water. It was only a couple days, weeks at the most: but not as long as I was last time... Last time I was gone longer: but I was with a God and around some water.
Flashback:
I was only a little girl. So many prospects were after me to make me their wife. But I did not want that. All I wanted was to explore a land I did not know. I was swimming with my sisters when all of a sudden he saw me. I knew who he was. Heck how could I not. He was king of the sea or as my dad liked to call him, a pain in the ass. I knew he had been watching me for a while. His look made me uneasy. So I went back home. After a couple of hours my mom came in and told me the news. He wanted to court me. I was scared. Not because I didn't want him: but quite the opposite. He had so much power and I didn't want to be around that. So I did the only thing I knew how, I ran away. I got away from the water and met another powerful creature. Atlas. He took me in and I enjoyed his company. I was around water: but I missed the ocean and my family. I knew he was falling hard for me: but I couldn't stay. I walked out of his palace and by a stream where I saw a dolphin and he brought me back to Poseidon.
End of flashback.
I knew I hurt him and not saying goodbye must have hurt even more: but I had to go home. I knew he loved me as I saw from last encounter: but I loved the sea and it never would have worked out between us. He just does not understand me. Not a lot do and it can be hard sometimes. As these thoughts were running through my head, I began trying to find the quickest water source around. If I could find a water source, then I could call someone to come help me. The pain began to seep more and more: but nothing was looking familiar. I continued to search around me and hide when it was necessary. With all this pain spreading throughout my body, I could tell I was weakening and nothing could hid how vulnerable I was at this very moment. When an Olympian is weak, they can hid it very well through channeling other energy sources, pinning it on another God, or a human for that matter. As a titan away from Poseidon I could not shield my weakness and everyone around me would soon be able to tell. I am not the type of person that admits defeat so accepting my death now was not an option I was willing to take.
I decided that it was time I began to run and hope no one who hated Poseidon would sense that I was weak. As I began running I used what little power I had to find water nearby. I sensed a water source two miles down north of me. Perfect I said now all I need to do is get there.
As I ran towards the water I suddenly felt a sharp pain on back and collapsed to the ground. I ran my hands over my back and felt what I hoped would never happen…. Blood and lots of it. I turned my back to see who had caused me this massive blood loss and my mind went into a state of shock.
Ares
I never would have guessed that out of all life forces he would be the first one to come after me. Surely he would have been on the list but not at the top. The top of the list would have been hades or the Atlas two people I knew who hated me. It wasn't until I saw another figure appear from beyond the woods that I knew the real reason as to why he was involved. I still could not speak and now was at the mercy of Aries and Aphrodite.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Never would I have imagined such a weak and pathetic titan. What should we do with her? Hmm maybe this"
All of a sudden a surge of power came out of Aphrodite and hit my back. More blood spilled out of my back. I screamed in pain: but no noise came out. What was I going to do? I only had one option. With the rest of the power I had I called upon that small body of water that was now 1 mile down. I surfaced the water towards me and I began to drink some of it giving me that extra kick of power. I then slammed the water against their bodies knocking them to the ground and blinding them to give me enough time to escape and plan my next move.
As I began running all I could here was screaming coming from behind. They were not happy I did that I said to myself. It did not take me long to realize though that the water I summoned was the last time I encountered Poseidon. He must have laced that water with something to stop whoever he thought would come after me. Wow was all I could tell myself. Even after all this drama he still is helping me. He does care about me. No one else would put up with my independence and then when I need him most return with open arms.
As I continued running, I could no longer hear the screams coming from behind me. I stopped and then it hit me. The blood loss was making my head dizzy and the pain was too much to bear. As much as I hated feeling dependent on him, there was nothing I could do, I needed him. I looked towards the water and mouthed his name. All of a sudden water came and seeped up and around my body. I knew what he was doing. I had a feeling this would happen: but there was nothing I could do. I had to go with him. Back to him. I realized I should talk to him and hear him out. The water was still circling around me. I knew he was not going to take me unless I wanted it. I nodded my head due to the lack of my ability to speak still. Not a moment later, I felt a power surge around me. I suddenly left the forest and was transported to somewhere familiar. Somewhere I knew oh so well. I looked around once and fell to the floor. Everything was coming back too fast. I tried to take deep breaths to calm myself down: but it was not working. The blood was still pouring out of me as my body tried to regain its' energy by being back in the water once more.
I was looking at the ground of the palace when I felt a burst of energy on my lower back. It was not the same energy I felt when I was being attacked by Aphrodite and Ares back in the forest. It was the opposite as a matter of fact. It felt kind and gentle. Suddenly I knew who was in the room and I was so glad he was there. I allowed the energy to heal my back and allow me to be the beautiful creature I was before all this happened. As I was going to stand up, I felt arms wrap around my body sending me even more energy than before. I allowed it partly because I needed the energy from him and partly because I missed him. When I was full of energy I departed from his hug and looked deep into his eyes and smiled. He smiled back at me and it was as if no one else was even important. I gave him a hug and stayed there for about five minutes. I then let go of him and looked away. I had to make a decision fast. I could talk to him and say I was sorry and let him win stating that I will always need him… or I could just walk away and forget all about him. I was too independent to do the first and too kind to do the second. So instead I did what any reasonable titan would do and did neither. Instead I would embrace everything and take it all in and be the strong independent women anyone saw.
I then looked deep into his eyes with my fierce eyes and opened my mouth. "Look and pay attention, I said to him. "In no way am I done being mad at you. I am still pissed off at what you did and I will walk away from you if I feel like I need to. I am not being manipulated by you no more. I am your equal not your slave. I do not need you to survive. In fact if it was not for you, I would not get hurt every time I went outside. I love you. I do: but one more mistake and I am gone and I will make sure everyone knows about it. Got it!"
I waited to hear his response. The look he was giving me said that he knew I meant what I said. He did not speak but nodded his head. Looking at him now made me realize how much I had changed. I was no longer the weak, pathetic, and careless girl he first met. Instead I was a strong, independent, adventurous, kind, and tough girl who would do anything for anyone and would stop at nothing to so. I knew he saw this in me and the look he gave me was a look with so much passion. So much need, want, and lust. I loved the look he was giving me right now and I wanted him too. No matter how much I was mad at him, I realized he could always treat me worse than he does. Compared to his brothers, he treated me like an angel. Yes he cheated on me: but he demonstrated that he cared time and time again. I also did need his help with the problem I was facing. I could not go through it alone... I am a very independent women and hate asking for help because it makes me look weak: but I cannot handle my past alone. I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "I need your help" I said to him softly "I could do this by myself, but I do not want to. I need you and your power to help my past."
"Anything for you my love, what do you need me to do?"
Perfect I thought. He was on board. I would not have to go through this alone. I didn't know how to say this any clearer than it has to be. So I Just spit it out. I need you to help me get rid of my family.
I then looked at his face and the look he gave me was in a pure state of shock.
