Reyna
I'm supposed to be surprised or worried, but the only emotion I feel is anger . you bloody idiots we're attacked by not even gods knows who . and your trying to do there job for them and kill each other .
at this point every body is on bowing . they bow to king Nightshade out of respect ,to me now they are bowing out of fear and confusion others are even lying on the ground . no one made a sound .
king Nightshade drops out of the sky his dark and mysterious look missing without the cloak. WHAT The FUCK ! he took a step back in clear shock . now there are gasps and murmurs from the crowd centered around the king talking without the cloak . after realizing his huge mistake he swears again . SHIT!
now a few brave individuals start getting up .king Nightshade whats...i dont hear the end of the question the king and i are flying at an alarmingly fast rate to the top of daintless HQ . with his arm around my waist . we land way too softly for people who were moving at that speed .
he stands there silent for a moment , i turn around and he removes the cloak from my shoulders and i feel the anger subside . you Reyna Avila RamÃrez-Arellano have screwed me good and proper.

its been about three hours since the shocking events of this afternoon. the girls and i are in Hyllas room as the Queen of the Amazons her room is at least ten time better than mine almost similar to Hazels but not as clean .
I'm worried about her says Hylla her pacing soon to create a little path on the rug . you've heard what happened to the last demigod who wore the Cloak of rage . they say it drives you mad with anger answers Anabeth .
did you guys see how it just appeared on her says Hazel the dauntless say its never done anything like that before and it only works for the king . if it's meant to only work for the king maybe shes the kings daughter or somthing like that i add . No shes not Hylla whispers .
We need to know more of this Nightshade guy she says looking at Calypso. he specifically told me to keep his secrets to myself but of course I don't know much about him really. please Cal Rachel asks anything you know could be helpful . ok ok this is what I can tell you Calypso concedes .
.we are interrupted by banging on the door the door is one way transparent so we can see Apollo outside . come in yells Hylla. he gets in and looks straight at Calypso don't tell them anything . what are you talking about Hylla asks . I'm no fool Hylla answers Apollo .you could get Calypso killed , by Rage or worse.
so what do you suggest Rachel asks him . I need you to trust me when I say Rage will not hurt Reyna . your not serious I tell him you saw him throw that gaint sword at that girl for chewing gum ,gum for mars sake .yes his a bit crazy but he won't hurt her. how does having that thing on affect someone Rachel asks . the Cloak of rage makes you go mad with anger and also causes your body will combust at the sheer power in the cloak he answers
. what! she's fine she's fine Apollo assures us . asking Calypso for information about Nightshade would be to not value your friends life. what of you ,I ask him your the sun god he wouldn't kill your . err the only reason he hasn't killed me for sending Zoe on that quest is because I'm so weak and pathetic and he is a proud warrior . I need some air announces Rachel leaving .

Im having a hard time keeping order in the place . I meat with the leader of the Greek the roman and the queen of the Amazons .
the three ladies enter the office . I point them to the couch . right lassies let's get down to business . Hylla raises her hand . yes miss twice kill? I just want to point out that your soldier Jes or something, he started the fight . I smile
.yes Des is an bloody cock sucker , but you don't break someone's arm in three different places for no good reason. I will keep my soldier's in control there is no excuse for today's brawl says the leader of the Greek . what's your name I ask her ? Anabeth chase . thank you Anabeth ,this is why I asked for a woman and not that dumb poseidon kid .
hey that's my boyfriend she shouts .that's not my fault I answer. I'll keep the legion under control says the praetor . thank you . yes me too said the amazonian her head clearly not in the conversation . I will not tolerate this type of behavior . can I ask you something says Twice kill . what do you think is happening between my sister and the king? sorry lass my guess is as good as yours .
now please keep a leach on all your animals .you dont want to make the king angry . just between us girls what are the chances that the king and Reyna are fucking right now ? zero...less than zero says Anabeth . I breathe a sigh of relief.
one more Question the move she used on Des have you ever seen her use it before . no never Hylla shakes jer head ,why . the move was invented by the king and it's extremely difficult the is no way she could have pulled that of without a lot of training form the king himself.
Are you saying Reyna has been secretly meeting with the guy ever since we got here? It would appear so wouldn't it said Chase i could practically see the gears in her head moving .what ever is going on between the two it can't be pretty.
Reyna
my mind is drifting through space .am i dreaming ? it must be one of those demigod dreams . I'm at someplace that looks like camp half-blood i see children running around in really old clothing . I'm in the middle of a fight I know my subconscious is just a spectator because I can't influence the body im in i can only understand it's thoughts and emotions .
my host body disarms his opponent by grabbing his wrist , twisting it violently in the wrong direction jumps quickly dropkicks him one foot under the armpit and the other on the neck whist puling the arm with all I've/he's got . I hear a satisfying crack as we land and the whole compound is quite except for the screams of my victim .
I'm in nine year old king Nightshades memories I realize . wow says the instructor, chiron as the medics tend to the fallen kid Phobos god of phobias . amoung the other children were khione snow goddess hypnos god of sleep my Asclepius the god of medicine , Deimos , Britomartis lady of trapes ,Bellona goddess of war , Nike of victory,iris famous for iris messages and Manny others . all just little kids .
thats why Chiron isn't taking the injury seriously a kid god is though . well the winner is clearly... he/I hang my head in shame for I have no name my parents never botherd to name me . usually the other children would but today they all just a stand completely surprised. I stand there stunned at my own victory. deimos throws a punch. i(Reyna) see the punch coming but of coure this has aready happened ,i want to move i want to warm him(little Nightshade) but all i can do is watch as he/me falls from the impact of the blow.
Chiron is on Deimos before he can continue his attack but the damage is done im bleeding . Chiron takes Deimos for a private strong word and i find he/me wishing he hadn't left me with the other kids . Red blood, spits Phobos . but i/he can see tears in his eyes . i broke his undefeated streak. usually the chant of reb blood would spread but today I shocked them into silence . if Phobos had taken our fight seriously this could never have happend . i wipe my bloody nose and now that my peers have recovered from the shock they chant red blood red blood nha nha nha nha nha nha red blood .
he/me wants to scream at them call them all the crule names i have in my head ,but i can't speak . all me/he can do is run away and i do into the forest to a specific tree and cry. I was a fool to humiliate Phobos he will want a rematch and make me pay. I hate my life he wants to scream i hate that they have gold blood and mine is red. I feel it with him , the pain of being abandoned .the pain of being different the pain of constant bullying, and most of all loneliness. maybe i should just quit living ,no one will care anyway.
no I want tell him not to give up .I know king nightshade is alive so he didn't commit suicide ,but im his mind i feel the conviction in which he makes the decision . he will do it.
present
I wake up I'm in bed Nightshades bed . he sits on the massage chair with his face covered as usual his helmet is on the corner of the bed he simply has his cloak covering his face . in the vision I was in his body so I couldn't see his face .
i can silently pull the cloak of- dont even think about it , his voice sonds different not as scary as it usually is not as deep or as loud either . I realize something , the king never got over his fear of being rediculed . he doesn't like his face( something bad must have happened ) and thinks it will make people treat him differently. he has a lot of magic at his disposal why doesn't...
why dont i just magic myself a voice and face. you think i haven't tried ,no one not Apollo not Asclepius no one could get me a voice until you . wait can you read minds how did you know I was going to pull the Cloak of and about magic voice.
i can't read minds but i can read yours ever since this morning . this morning? i turn completely red .he laughs a laugh like lighting sticking or boulders rolling . creepy unusual but kind of nice for some reason . your referring to you and Rachel . yes i was an unwilling participant in the whole episode .
now in really red what do you mean participant ? (why am i turning red i shouldn't have emotions) . Usually when Rachel touches you in that way how do you fee?l . Im quite for a wile and he answers himsef . your body is on fire with desire you want more you want to go all the way you only deny Raych the pleasure you both crave because she doesn't love you in the sence of Eros .
when we did this he points at us I took your emotions so you were free to let her touch you anywhere because you wouldn't feel any pleasure or anything. I nod my head . every ounce of pleasure you would have gotten from that encounter went to me . I felt it all in ways that you should have felt it. evey lick of the thigh every thing i felt all the pleasure.
i stand there shocked for a second then i travel again I/he is in the ofice with cookie and all of a sudden an immense amount of pleasure is coursing through his/my veins. as i come back to my body. I feel my emotionlessness settle again . so basically you and Rachel had sex through me . exactly he points at me
we need to end this Reyna its escalating . how ? I've called Asclepius he says hes looking but hes no were close to an answer. Useless Fool we say in unison. we're both sharing my power now . we are ? my mind travels back to last night when Rachel fell ,I was at her side at an impossible speed .the move I used on that's dauntless idiot is the same move he used on Phobos. sharing my power with you means I'm half the man I was and that is unacceptable. hey! you speak like I bring nothing to the table, I cross my hands . he chuckles
how did you resist Rachel ? oh Rachel it was a battle In my mind but ultimately the old me won . And of course I know now that you were just being cruel to me . I just wanted to...pass me my helmet. don't interrupt me when in talking you son of a bitch !
I put my hand over my mouth . sorry lord Nightshade I would ...I wish my mother had been a bitch then at least I would know why I was born , because she needed cash. my emotionlessness disappears completely and I am left feeling awful about what I said . Don't be , it's not your fault the bitch left me .
Besides that's my anger so it's really not your fault. although today at the office I was so close to going over the edge and fucking Cookie . the scary part is I don't think I would have taken no for an answer. I'm taken aback by his statement , your taking of rape. exactly I had to run out of that office before I did something terrible.
I've never thought of Rape in my life i tell him . that's because you have Rachel whenever you need sexual pleasure she's there for you . I on the other hand am completely alone . you must have realized that you're emotionlessness isn't working the way it's supposed to . that's because I've taken back half of it and gave you back half your emotions .
king Nightshade I throw the helmet at him halfway through the room I realize he won't see it . it slows down almost to a stop in the air and he caches it. you could have knocked me on the head . but i didnt i answer. he throws the helmet at me as hard as he can . i duck out of the way and it crashes to the wall then the floor.
the room is suddenly plunged into darkness. he throws the cloak of rage at me . thats more like it . i can only see the outline of his body . i try to use the night vision he has but can't. this is very romantic I smile . je chuckels, so how do i get rid of wanting to put my penis in a beautiful girls vagina? ehh well you do exactly that .its like a vacation . you do a mild form of sex then the wanting of sex will disappear. oh so when you want sex you play with Rachel then your fine again? something like that I answer.
to calm myself down I usually drink love position . but since your not completely me I don't think you want to try it . Great I snort I can't get rid of the anger because of the Reyna part of me and you can't get rid of the lust because you don't have a Rachel.
wait a second you told me you have a curse where people fall in love with you and you don't love them back . yes he answers me. but why dont i love them back ? yes i answer curious for his response .its complicated he answers . not when i can enter your mind I remind him . they never cared about me once I wanted to commit suicide and take them all out with me . when your a little orphan kid your just looking for love and acceptance . all i got was rejection and ridicule .
let me show you he sits on the bed crosses his legs i do the same and he holds my hands . suddenly I'm falling but im not alone he is inside me or me inside him we are one entity .
we enter his body at seven years old i want to be strong like the others is all that rings in his/my mind as he punches the tree ,his/my little hands bloody and in pain i feel every sting as his fists collide with the tree . i want to tell him to stop that its not worth it .but it was worth it says current nightshade( im inside the childs body he is outside like a ghost. .I wanted to be treated as an equal . Chiron told me that i could never be on there level so i just trained harder by my self always passing out of pain or exhaustion .
and true to his word little nightshade falls over . straight into slumber. i didn't have their natural stamina , so i couldn't keep up on morning jogs or mountain climbing . basically i was in a class of my own, the looser class.
i look at old Nightshade why did you let them treat you like this. what could I have done Reyna . I was alone in a world that didn't want me . we skip time im/he is a year older (eight) . sit this one out son its Chiron telling me/him not to enter the race . no im running and not even Zeus can stop me . i see a sadness in chiron's eyes . ok
one thought caries me throughout the course of the race . he/I need to prove I'm not useless. he/I cross the finnish line , and fall over in exhaustion gasping for air as he/my lungs burn . my/his time was three hours four minutes . still gasping for air he/I smile it may be the slowest time but i finished the race . the person just above me got exactly three hours so at least I'm catching up to the group. my/he's thoughts fade as he/me slips out of consciousness.
you were killing yourself i say to Nightshade . well yes but i didnt care ,all i cared about was being accepted and acknowledged as an equal to be treated the same way they were . i go back to nine year old nightshade . the whole camp Minor god will be talking about how the nameless kid broke Phobos undefeated streak . Chiron always says i should sit out if the combat round of training but I refused . i taught myself that disarming trick , very usefull against non suspecting oponents , phobos will want a rematch .
no my reyna self screams you will be creamed...flattered turned into roadkill king Nightshade adds. I knew all this Reyna but as you know I was read for death. my host body had fallen asleep exhausted after today's training exercise in preparation for Phobos . you weren't read for death you were looking to quit living . look at me Reyna does this look like a life worth living to you he asks me even in ghost form his face is hidden. i come out of the kids body and look at him . he smiles in his sleep . i look into his dream and find myself at his funeral .
the dream in which I die are my favorite he tells me .i just wanted the nightmare of my life to end. you have to understand that I was overworking my body and even with nectar and ambrosia. i look down at the child in front of us ,he has bronze skin that hid the bruise's well but you could still see that he was unhealthy.
well built for a ten year old but still I could tell that he could use . sleep for at least three days straight. his face was kind of cute nothing that had to be permanently hidden from the world . after the match with Phobos he/me had trained for hours . perfecting all the other techniques he had
the door opens and Deimos comes in he paints red blood in bright red on his wall , idiotic fool he whispers. I look at the sleeping child then back at that devil of a boy . I just want to kill him . he closes the door and Is gone . how did you not wake up ,I ask him , although I already know the answer I'm/he's too exhausted to hear of feel anything .
the door opens again .oh come one you mother fuckers !! it angers me that these idiots just love making his life miserable. watch your language there Reyna. In comes a little girl I've never seen her in my life but I know who it is because she has snow white hair and a snow flake were her pupils should be . she is carrying a bucket of water , she is in her night dress in the middle of winter . her smooth slender arms and legs exposed . Khione goddess of snow.
Pipers told me a lot about this bitch .it is infuriating that I just have to watch and can't actually touch or do anything in his memories. she closes the door behind her sliding in the locking block . she walks to him a mad look in her eyes and i look away before I hear a splash after a second with no splash i look back to find her lips on his . she stays like that for a few more seconds then she parts .
I'm sorry my love ,she has tears in her eyes. I should be brave enough to stand up and protect you from those idiots . I... I...she shakes her head white locks flying. there's no excuse im just a coward afraid of being different . I see a look of self loathing on her face .Im afraid to stand up for you because if l do they'll treat me like...like they do to you . I'm sorry for ever time i called you red blood she was in tears now .for everytime you were in pain and i just laughed . knowing in my heart that it's wrong counts for nothing if i dont act on it .
what is going on here I finally ask Nightshade . he puts a finger on his mouth (the universal sign for shut up ) and points at the bed .she leans in again ,stops a few centimeters from his face and whispers "please love me back" .
she leans in and kisses his forehead then his cheek and lastly and for the longest time his lips . she pulls back and smiles at him . I always wanted our fist kiss to be a real one she smiles as she wipes the paint from the wall ( olden day paint did not dry as fast as our paint does) . with my tongue in your mouth and yours in mine . she has a huge smile on her face at the thought of it .
I feel bad that i stole your first kiss from you but i couldn't live another second without kissing you. and also im afraid that you might not like a girl who did nothing as they abused you , who...who she closes her eyes and says "who joined in , in laughing at you and calling you names just to save face"
she is scrubbing all the paint of the RED has already disappeared . she puts the sponge back in the bucket and takes a break . she sits on his bed. just being so close to you makes my heart race . feel my love for you , she takes his hand and places it on her chest , she gasps and drops his hand . I know why . she has a sort of wildness in her eyes again . she giggles I guess I should get used to you touching my breasts I am growing them for you after all. she cups her own little still developing breasts in her hands .
I know there not much compared to Bellona or Nike but hopefully they can make you happy . she takes his hand and uses it to massage her breast . I'm...squeal... sorry I know this is wrong but...but I just can't stop, your hand on my breast is...is... it's magical she decides everything feels right in the world. somehow a person who doesn't feel heat like myself feels like my body is on fire . she takes his other hand and massages both her boobs . I...I love you my darling husband she whispers
she drops his hands then undoes the back of her dress it falls to her hips exposing her cute little boobies . She takes his hand then drops it and shakes her head . we will only do this when you ask for it ,this will be our special moment . she's redoing her dress. I know I will die if you don't love me . she finishes of her cleaning humming a song to herself .
