When the Sun Doesn't Shine

Chapter 1 - Poisoned Arrow

Darkness prevailed over the land of Olympus, which was unusual for the days in the city of Gods. Everyone knew something was wrong, but none of them would have ever guessed exactly what that was. Only a few were in the know.

Screams perforated the dense fog that hung in the air. One occupant of the world had woken to a presence lingering over her bed. Though the figure was shadowed she knew exactly who it was. She didn't plan on being his victim anymore and so her screams cut through the stuffy morning air like a sharp blade of steel. Footsteps could be heard running down the hall from her room and her door flew open, Artemis stood, seething with rage as she took in the scene.

"Apollo, what are you doing in Persephone's room?" Artemis narrowed her eyes at him, but it seemed to not affect him in the slightest. He pulled Persephone roughly by the arm until she slammed in his chest where he held her in a tight grip, the air having been knocked out of her.

"Well see, precious little Persie here invited me for some fun times in her room this morning, but I must have startled her, I don't remember her being startled the last time we did this." Artemis' eyes grew wide in understanding or rather the understanding of what she thought had happened.

"That's not what happened! You raped me...ow!" Apollo went to defend himself which might have worked except for the fresh ichor that leaked from her arm from where his nails had pierced her skin.

"Let her go Apollo!" Artemis pulled out her bow and arrow pointing it at her crazed brother.

"No, I don't think I will." He didn't bother to hide his insanity as his hand shot out beckoning his chariot to them. He pulled Persephone in with him using her as a human shield against his sister.

"Artemis!" Persephone screamed out.

"Persephone! Don't worry I will get help and save you!" With that, the chariot disappeared with the god and goddess.

Artemis ran from the room and grabbing her phone from her own room she began dialing.

"Hades it's Persephone.."

He had received a call just moments ago from Hades. The gods and goddesses were gathering as Apollo had gone crazy and kidnapped Persephone.

"Aphrodite I want you to stay here with the kids," Ares said as he grabbed his equipment and prepared for war.

"Like hell I'm staying here and letting you go alone. Eros is staying I've already talked to him. He's worried, but he will protect his siblings. I'm going with you." Ares took hold of her hand.

"I will be glad to fight alongside you, my love." He pulled her into a hug holding her to him calming his nerves.

"Do you think it will come to that?" She asked from her position against his chest.

"I do. Apollo has lost his mind and become obsessed with Persephone. He won't give her up easily. Honestly, I believe it will come down to his death and maybe hers. Apollo may decide if he can't have her, no one will. We all will do our best to protect her, but the situation is bad." He tightened his arms around her, realizing that he would be lost if he ever lost Aphrodite.

"Eros would be devastated if he lost his best friend." She held tighter to him not wanting to let him go. She didn't know what was nagging at her, but she felt like she needed to hold him.

"I know. We should go love." Aphrodite nodded, they slipped apart and headed out. The ride was quiet and when they stopped they came upon a large group of gathered Gods and Goddesses. Many were angry, even Demeter had come and her anger was palpable around the area, he didn't think he had ever seen her so angry.

"Zeus, you do something. This is your fault!" Demeter was up in his face.

"Demeter he is a boy attracted to a girl, he just got out of hand. Surely he will bring her back unharmed." He said holding his hands up.

"This isn't the first time you haven't protected her from him. I warned you about my feeling." Hera glared harshly at him.

"It was a feeling, nothing more!" Zeus yelled at her, glaring back at her and moving toward her like he would in private.

"Back the fuck off her." Ares was pissed at Zeus.

"She wasn't wrong though, Persephone let it slip when she was being kidnapped. Apollo raped her." Artemis had walked up to the group, her face marked with tear tracks, tears still swimming in her eyes. Many of the eyes around the group grew wide at those words.

"HE DID WHAT?! AND YOU FUCKING DEFENDED HIM?!" Hades landed a punch to his brother's face seething, his full power on display. No one defended Zeus for they all felt he deserved it. Poor Persephone had been hurt and he did nothing.

"You…I can't even...I will deal with you after we get my daughter back. You promised me and you failed, I should have known. And you, you told me no men in the house, you lied to me. I will deal with you later as well. Let's go." Tears poured down Artemis' face, she knew Demeter was right and so did everyone there. They all began to move following the path laid out by magic to lead them to Persephone.

Screams could be heard as they got close, prompting them to move faster. What they saw had many of them freezing in their tracks. Not only was he raping her but he was burning her as he did, the smell of burnt skin wafted through the air.

"It's about time you showed up, but don't you see? It's too late - she ismine!" His laughter was cold and psychotic, it sent a chill through all of them.

"You get Persephone, I will grab him." Ares looked at Hades and they both nodded before charging. Ares pulled Apollo from Persephone as Hades grabbed her, lifting her delicate form into his arms. Ares could see the burns that peppered her naked body, burns that would scar.

He tightened his arms around Apollo his outrage growing. How dare anyone touch Persephone that way. He may like to rile the girl up, but that's all it was. To him she was like a sister, she was young and innocent and Apollo had ruined that.

A sharp pain shot across his arm causing him to lose his tight grip. He looked down and saw that the little asshole had burned him. Ares grabbed Apollo's hair, throwing him to the ground. Apollo kicked out, catching Ares behind the knee, sending him into the mud that had formed over the past few rainy days.

"Do you think you can take me? Ha, just because you're the God of war you think you're the best but you're going to learn." Ares didn't see the little scumbag reach beside him and grab something until a searing pain lit his side. When he looked there was an arrow buried in his side and the flesh around it was burning. "It's cauterizing, have fun dying asshole."

Apollo pushed Ares off him as Ares gasped for breath, his left lung not working right from being sliced by the arrow. Apollo's manic laugh filled the air around them.

"Now, you will give me the pretty pink princess, she belongs to me." A line formed in front of Persephone and Hades blocking them from view while a few others moved towards him and Ares.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." He revealed a swarm of arrows pointed right at the crowd. "Although I don't know why I don't just kill you all - then I would be King, right of passage and all isn't it dad? You gave me all of this power after all, so I must be your natural choice." A smirk lit his face at the horrified face of his father.

"You asshole! I trusted you!" Artemis had her bow pointed at him.

"Oh dear sister, how naive you are. Always bringing your friends around. You really are stupid." He smirked at her disgusted look.

"What is wrong with you?!" Aphrodite's face was hard.

"Ah Aphrodite, miss easy. That's the only reason I never went after you. You think you're so beautiful, ha you're far from it. I don't do sloppy seconds, virgins are my type - and Iwillhave Persephone." Apollo never saw Ares climb to his feet and rush at him, slamming hard into his side. He held Apollo down with his hands on his throat.

"Fuck you asshole." In one swift movement, Ares pulled his dagger from his belt slamming it into Apollo's black heart watching as the ignorant fool sputtered with blood leaking from his mouth and chest as the last of his air left him. Ares spit in his face, before rising to his feet to make his way to the crowd. He only made it a few paces though before his body gave out and slammed into the ground gasping for air.

"Ares!" Aphrodite flew to Ares crouching beside his weakening body.

"Aphie, my beautiful wife. I love you, please don't listen to a word he said. You are the most perfect being to ever have lived." By now Hera and Zeus had joined and everyone else had gathered closer including Hades and Persephone at her prompting.

"You tell me all the time, how could I forget? Everything is going to be ok, we will get you fixed up and…" he put a finger to her lips.

"Aphie there is no fixing this. It's ok, I will be ok, Philia won't be alone anymore." His eyes began to close as hers flooded with tears.

"Nonononono Ares! No look at me, look at me, I'm right here. Don't go, stay with me, Ares! We can fix this! We can stop this!" He put his hand on her shoulder.

"Aphie, hey, Aphie, hey" his quiet strained voice finally cut across to her.

"What?" Her voice cracked and caught in her throat.

"You were always my dream." His hand gently brushed back her hair as his gravelly voice spoke those final words. His voice was choked with heaviness forcing him to pause a few times. As his eyes closed for the last time a single tear cascaded down his worn and burnt face as his hand slipped down her shoulder until it lay heavily on the floor.

"And you were mine." She buried her face in his chest sobbing out her heart as it throbbed in her chest threatening to leap out any minute, she wasn't ready to say goodbye, because goodbye was not enough, it would never be enough.
