AN: This chapter is a little different from the other chapter so bear with me. Anyways, I really like this chapter so let me know what you think about the twist, that I didn't even see coming, in a review. I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Aphrodite's P.O.V

"Dammit Emmett! Why can't you just believe that I love you?" I cried angrily pushing myself off the tree. I know Athena said for the council to stay inside but if my Emmett is outside looking for Alice then so will I. I cannot loose Emmett like I lost Hercules, or Ar-… NO! I won't go there.

"Because Aphrodite you're the goddess of love! How am I even supposed to live up to that? I am just a mere vampire! You won't even let me in your room, and whenever I ask why you shut me down. I ask about your past, you shut me down. Rosa- Aphrodite I know you have a past but how am I supposed to understand anything when you don't talk to me? If you don't love me then fine! Just tell me!" Emmett ranted angrily punching a tree. It tumbled to the ground from the force of the punch.

"I may be a goddess, but as I see it Emmett you are my equal. You are my love, and no one can make me see differently. After this battle is over nothing and I mean nothing is holding me here. We can go wherever you want after this Emmett, I don't care where. If you want to go wrestle an alligator in the everglades then I will follow you there. Emmett I may be the goddess of love but that does not mean I am good with feeling… what you need to understand is that I have been hurt many times over."

"How am I supposed to understand when you refuse to tell me anything?" Emmett demanded.

I sigh angrily as tears threaten to fall from my eyes. Crying in not something I have done in a very long time.

"I don't know Emmett! You tell me! I would leave with you right now if I could because I don't want to be here."

"That's another thing, how is it that you are heartless enough to leave everyone here without a care who will get hurt? It's not right Aphrodite, they will always need you. Before the fight they need you, and after the fight they need you."

"I don't care! I did not sign up for this! I have lost some many people because of this stupid council. It's all Athena's fault!" I hiss angrily. Why can Emmett not see what this council does to people? Better yet why can't he see what Athena does to people?

"Aphrodite, I don't know why you are so angry, and I will never know if you don't talk to me. I love you but…" Emmett trailed off not able to finish his thoughts.

Tears leak from my eyes, is he breaking up with me?

"Everyone I love is taken away from me! Hercules died in battle, for Athena! And before that Ares left me for Athena. Everything is for Athena! Zeus favors Athena over all of us, even before the council, even when she betrayed us for Nyx!" I cry letting all my pent up anger at Athena out. I fall to the ground and just sob. Something I have never done, goddesses don't cry and defiantly do not sob.

"Shh, Aphrodite, shh. Everything will be okay," Emmett coos as he takes me into his arms.

I do not need to be an empath to feel the anger radiating off Emmett. I do not understand why he comforts me when he knows that I have, no had, feeling for Ares and even Hercules. Emmett is the only one for me; there will be no one else after him. I have to tell him how I feel or I will surely loose him.

"Emmett," I whisper as I look up at him through tear filled eyes, "I do not love Ares, not anymore. I don't know if I ever did. I did love Hercules, but I love you more. You are the only one for me now. If you died I would surely die too. I don't let you in my room because I am in the process of remodeling it, everything in there is Hercules and I's. I want it to be us before I let you in."

Emmett does not talk for a few minutes, he just holds me.

"Aphrodite I love you, I do, but you cannot blame everything on Athena. She already has a lot on her shoulders. I am not saying you have to be buddy-buddy with her but you cannot want to kill her. Isn't that considered treason? Not the point, I am trying to tell you I love you but I think we should give each other a little space. You need time to think, and decide if you want to tell me about you past. I cannot stay with you if you don't wish to tell me things so I can help you through them," Emmett says lovingly.

Emmett goes to get up but I grab his arm refusing to let him go.

"I will tell you everything Emmett! I can't lose you, I love you too much!"

"Are you sure? I don't want to force you into anything."

"Yes," I say strongly without an ounce of dought in my voice, "It's time I opened up to someone."

Zeus's P.O.V

"Esme," I say from my spot near the window in my room. Esme stands by the door. Things haven't been the same with her since I gained my memories back, I cannot shake the fact that she is not my Hera.

"I know Zeus," Esme says sadly with venom tears in her eyes that she will never be able to shed. "You do not love me. I understand, I have read Greek mythology; unlike the others you were deeply devoted to Hera. It's okay Zeus, I do not think I could love you as you are now. I love Carlisle a vampire doctor, who doesn't even exist."

I turn to look at the window, I may not be deeply in love with her, but I do love her. Her words wound me. I wasn't going to end things with her only tell her the truth that she does not hold the biggest place in my heart, not anymore. How could it? Hera disappeared many years before the council was sent to earth as humans, as did many of the other gods.

"Carlisle does exist. He is a part of me that not many people see. If you wish to part ways then so it will be."

"I do," Esme's soft voice chokes out.

"I must ask, for Athena, if you are on are side still? If not I can only protect you as far as to the end of the perimeter of the grounds."

"Of course, the Volturi must be destroyed," Esme says with no emotion in her voice.

"Then that is it, I guess. I cannot give you divorce papers as I am not Carlisle," I say bitterly. I hate to part ways with Esme, she has been my companion for many years.

"This is it then," Esme confirms. I do not get a good bye, the only reason I know she left is the soft sound of the door opening and closing.

As soon as Esme is out of hearing range I break down and collapse where I stand. I do not shed a single tear. "Why?" I whisper to myself.

"Because everything must come to an end," Athena's firm voice sounded from the door way, "So something better can enter our paths."

I did not even hear her enter.

"I do not see how something better can become of this, my wise daughter," I mumble.

"Father, you mustn't look at this as something bad, but as something for a change," Athena states as she crouches down to my level.

I do not answer her. "How can you even still call me father after what I did to you and many others?" I mumble not really thinking that I would get a reply.

"Because you are my father, and I love you," Athena said. Athena doesn't like to show emotion, so this must be hard for her.

"Why are you here?" I ask after I have calmed down.
"To talk, I need my father's guidance."

Mystery P.O.V

The guards posted at the door stand up higher upon my approach. I hope I do not need to say their names because I do not know them, other than that this should be easy to play her. I was always a good actress as a human.

"Lady Athena," the guards say bowing to me. How nice it is to be treated so respectfully. I will show every one that thought I was weak how strong I really am.

"I wish to see Ares," I tell them dismissively. They don't need to know my business.

They look at me oddly, as if evaluating me. The one on the right nods. "Yes Lady Athena. I will get him for you."

I wait outside the door impatiently, the longer I stay as her the less time I have before someone figures out I am not Athena.

"Athena, why have you pulled me away?" Ares demands of me rather rudely. I do not like Ares, I conclude.

"I wish to speak with Edward," I say Edwards name like it is toxic.

"I do not know if that is such a good idea," Ares tried to reason with me.
"I do not care! I will do as I wish. Ares, you are dismissed, take the guard with you," I say to impatient to act as Athena would. Maybe she would act this way, I do not know or really care.

"You cannot dismiss me Athena! I am this close to getting him to talk!" Ares yells outraged.
"I can and I just did," I tell him walking into the room and slamming the door behind.

I crinkle my nose in disgust. The room spells horrid. I know Ares and the guards have not left yet, I must to do something to make him leave, to make him not care. Athena ruined my love life, why not ruin hers?

"Edward," I great. I smile on the inside, this will destroy Ares.

I walk up to Edward and sit on his lap. "Play along," I whisper in Edward's ear low enough that no one will be able to hear.

Edward looks at me oddly. My poor baby, his eyes are so black. I smile coyly. I reach forward and grab Edwards head smashing his lips to mine. I kiss him deeply, all the while knowing I am destroying Ares. I hear Ares yells outraged, "Let's go. It's obvious Lady Athena does not need our help."

I wait till he is out of hearing range before I pull back. "He is such a stupid fool," I mumble.

Edward barks, "What the fuck was that?"

"That's me getting you out of here," I place my hand on his shoulder and imagine him as Ares.

"There now no one will stop us from leaving," I smile sinisterly.

I quickly untie him. "Are you coming or not?" I ask as I make it to the door. Edward nods looking at me confused.

We run for hours not stopping once, in case someone followed us. The guards are very pesky. We run until Edward collapses.

"You're so pathetic," I snap.
"Why are you helping me?" He snarls at me.
"Because the Volturi cannot die," I yell at him like he is an idiot.

I walk up to Edward and change him back, Ares and Athena have to many enemies and friends for us to stay this way.

I concentrate on changing me back to me. I know I am successful when Edward gasps.

"We need to hunt, you are nothing but bones," I joke in my motherly voice that I hate so much. No one takes you serious when you have a voice like mine.

Edward doesn't reply, he just continues to stare at me.

"I will leave you here for someone to find if you do not snap out of this!" I threaten him.

"Esme?" Edward asked in disbelief.

I smile cruelly, "You got it genius. We need to hunt, for now animals will have to do. I do not need you slaughtering a whole town because of your hunger."
