Chapter 16

Ana

"What how do you mean how do you know my Mom?" Ana was feeling so exhausted and confused. How had so much changed in such a short amount of time everything she had grown up believing seemed to be a lie.

"Have you ever heard of an Oracle?" Huldah asked with that constant annoyingly sweet smile on her face. 'Why was she smiling now was not a happy time' Ana thought sarcasticly.

"I have heard of Oracles yes but what does that have to do with my Mom?"

"Tell me child do you know the name of the Oracles?" Ana's head was starting to hurt her she couldn't think. As if sensing her weariness Christian came over to her messaging the back of her neck before he spoke.

"Huldah you can see that Ana is exhausted, frustrated and worried can you please just tell us what is going on?" She smiled softly at Ana as if suddenly feeling bad for her.

"Ana sweet girl, If you knew your Greek Mythology this would go a little easier for you but judging by the confusion on your face Greek Mythology isn't your strong point ." She just stood looking at her with her smile getting bigger like what she had just said was funny.

Ana could do nothing but stare at her open mouthed. Everyone just stared saying nothing until Huldah huffed sat down and decided to give them more. "Fine clearly no one here has a sense of humour." She was like a child in a huff. Was she serious her Mom was kidnapped somewhere and she thought they should be laughing and joking.

Ana thought she was losing her mind. Rubbing her temples to ease the ache she spoke "Please Huldah we don't have time for this we have to find my Mom before Asmodeous does something to her."

Ana's head shot up at the sound of Huldah hysterically laughing. "Christian is she fucking joking why does she think that's funny?" She couldn't look away from her fighting the urge to get up and slap her.

"Oh Ana you are so funny, you definitely have your Mom's sense of humour. " She looked up to see that Ana was in no way laughing, but was in fact shaking with anger she stopped laughing immediatly. "Ohhhhhhhh you were serious? oookay so your Mom is fine. He can't hurt her, so you can relax." She waved her hand dismissively.

At this Ana started rubbing her temples again this whole thing was becoming draining. "Please just tell me. I can't keep playing the guessing games" she could hear how small her voice sounded. She had no energy left, and not in the she needed Christians essence kind of way but more in a she wanted everything to just stop for a while kind of way.

"Huldah you can see that Ana is tiered and just wants to know what is happening so please explain to us what is going on." Christian was holding her hand and still rubbing her neck with the other while he spoke never taking his eyes of Ana.

"Ok Lucifer, fine do you know your mythology?"

"You know I do. So please just spit it out and here, I am Christian not Lucifer." Even he was sounding exhausted now at her skating around the issue.

"Fine, but your name is Lucifer so that's weird" she mumbled she was like a moody teenager.

"You have heard of the Titaness's yes? "She continued he nodded to show that he had." You have heard of the Titaness Dione who was also the first Oracle of Greece?" He nodded again but said nothing.

She just sat staring at everyone eyes wide and a huge smile on her face expecting someone to get what she was saying and when no one said anything she huffed again.

"For the most powerful being in the world you are very slow." She said looking at Christian disbelievingly.

Then she dropped another bomb. "Ana Dione is your Mother." She looked like she was pissed of that no one had guessed and that she had to tell them.

This time it was Ana's turn to burst into fits of laughter. She couldn't stop, tears streaming down her face this was completely insane. She was just waiting for someone to wake her up to tell her all of this was just a crazy dream. No way could any of this be true. Sure you could study all of this kind of stuff, and google was full of fantastical stories of demons and titans and gods and goddesses, but they were just that. Stories. They weren't real life and yet she was now being told that not only was all of this real but it was her life. Her side was starting to hurt from laughing and she was finding it hard to breath when she felt someone stroking her hair cautiously like she was a caged lion ready to attack.

"Ana baby I need you breath sweetheart." She could hear Christians worried voice he obviously thought she was as crazy as she was beginning to feel. It wasn't until she felt a sharp kick to her stomach that she stopped. Looking down to the place she had felt the kick she rubbed it. Cooing softly at her stomach apologising to the babies. They had obviously not been comfortable with her laughing like that if the force of the kick was anything to go by.

Looking up at everyone, she decided to explain her hysterical outburst. "I'm sorry it's just that this is insane, all of it, it's crazy. I feel like I have lost my mind. Think about it. Nearly 4 days ago I was a psychotherapist with no social life and a normal wonderful family, and now I live with Lucifer. I'm magically 14 weeks pregnant with twins who by the way have grown again since this afternoon. I find out I'm not human I'm a Nephilim. My biological father isn't my father, my real biological father is an angel who likes to fuck human women. My boyfriends Brother wants me because I look like the woman he was obsessed with hundreds maybe even thousands of years ago and now you tell me my Mom is a Titaness/Oracle. Can you all see why I feel like I have lost my mind?" By the end of this she was in tears and hyperventilating.

Everyone was just looking at her with sympathy in their eyes. Everyone apart from Huldah was who was currently sat with a sheepish yet amused looked on her face waving her hand in the air like she wanted to answer Ana's question.

It was Christian who spoke or more like hissed "What Huldah?"

"Oh don't be so grumpy Lucifer sorry Christian." She rolled her eyes at his growl like he was annoying her.

"Ana sweetheart you're not a Nephilim." At this everyone looked at her waiting for what was next.

"You are a Demi-goddess." She smiled like she had just given everyone the best news ever. Can this crazy bitch not read a room for fuck sake. Ana thought bitterly.

She looked up at Christian who was just looking at her like it was the first time he had ever seen her. She was scared that what he had just found out would change how he felt about her. She tried to move away from him fearing his rejection but it seemed the second the thought entered her head his cleared and he smiled at her like she was his everything before grabbing her waist and pulling her back to him "Where do you think you're going Goddess?" He finished this of with a wink and soft kiss. She melted against him before looking back to Huldah Who was looking at them so lovingly.

"Are you Ok Huldah?" Ana asked.

"Oh I'm Wonderful, Your Mom will be so happy to see you right now you are everything she wanted you to be. You are her greatest creation." What at first had sounded so sweet, soon gave Ana more questions she needed the answers to.

"Wait My sister Izzy wouldn't that make her a Demi- Goddess or what ever I am?"

"No her father was human he died just before you were conceived she thought it easier to say that you had the same father as you were conceived so close to his death. So no she isn't a Demi-Goddess she does have abilities though." She said with a smile. Ana was confused again. She just frowned at Huldah who sighed and carried on.

"Children born from a Titan\Human union will have abilities for sure. People call them psychics or clairvoyants or even witches. Those who say they can see the future or speak with the dead or just some who sense things before others do those are the extent of the abilities they have.

"What about the picture though?"

"She knew Samyaza had bound your powers. She couldn't undo the power of an angel but as and Oracle she did see that one day you would come into your powers and when that time came you would need that picture to find Samyaza. Your Mother didn't know were he was as he was hidden by someone very powerful but as an Oracle she could see you would find him she just wanted to help. She knew there would come a time for you to show the picture to someone who could help you. He is part of your journey he will have answers to questions that your mother doesn't as you have the power of both of them. Your sister has the original picture of her father and she needed the pictures to look the same so she used magic." she finished this with a wink like what her mother had done was a cool magic trick.

"Ok so when you say I am her greatest 'creation' how many other 'creations' does she have?" She wasn't so sure she truly wanted the answer but she waited for it anyway.

"She has thousands Ana, In the beginning she created her children giving them full control of the power that belonged to them. You see your Mother can decide how much power she allows her children to have, and in the beginning she saw no reason for them to not have all the power that was theirs. Unfortunately it quickly became obvious the power they had corrupted them and she would have to either stop them or bind their powers. However their power was so strong it was to much to keep bound permanently. So her only option was imprisonment something she hated to do but the alternative was something she would never do. They are after all her children and the thought of ending their lives no matter what they had done was abhorrent to her. So she created a prison for them. In a place Lu... sorry Christian will know well. Tartarus." She heard Christian cuss beside her she turned to look at him and he looked horrified.

"Christian do not judge her it is the only place strong enough to hold them and you know this. Anyway back to the story. Eventually she started to only give her children some of their powers to see how much they could handle it was trial and error but she eventually got it right, but she hated not being able to give her children what was rightfully theirs so when Samyaza and the other 'Watchers' or 'Sons of God' as they are known in biblical terms. Well when they fell to earth to bed human women. Your Mother tricked him in the hopes that his Angelic powers would make her child strong enough that she wouldn't be corrupted by her goddess powers and it worked. She pretended to be a human woman to get him to sleep with her. She had to put up some what of a fight to make it believable and he fell for it. You Ana are the result of that union. He still to this day does not know that your mother isn't a human. I remember how confused he was when he met your Mother she became somewhat of an obsession that he thought once he had her would go away but it hasn't even now he thinks of her often." She laughed at the last part like she was proud. Ana was just sat in shock for what felt like the thousandth time tonight.

"And how do you know my Mother? You seem to hold a lot of affection for her."

"Of course I do why would I not she is my sister. Well Half sister. She is much more powerful than I am but we are very close I have been with her since the beginning."

Everyone just sat in silence it was like bombshell after bombshell just kept getting dropped and Ana was dreading what was next to be dropped in her lap she wasn't sure if she could handle anymore.
