Chapter ten, But she's my friend.

The bright light was blinding him, fear leaped into his body as he saw the light getting brighter, it was coming closer. Dent had been through a lot the last few days, he was confused and scared, too many things were going through his head, too much then he could handle…Dent fainted. But Dent wasn't the only one who was startled by the sudden light that had appeared. The light did most certainly not come from Ares. If Dent had known who it came from the boy wouldn't have faded. Even so Ares was surprised to see him.

"Xien?" he said confused.

"Hello Ares." Xien answered.

The god of War folded his arms, he frowned "Aren't you supposed to be dead." Was another question.

"No." Xien replied "Aren't you supposed to leave my family alone?"

Ares smiled "No." he replied "Care to tell me why you didn't die?"

"No." they could continue the conversation like this for ours, but Ares was in no mood to do that.

"Fine, then I will kill you now."

Another light ball emerged in Ares hand, it did not seem to bother Xien, who stayed close behind his son to protect him. Ares threw the ball, Xien did not step aside, nor dived for cover. All he did was holding his hand up, the ball reflected back to Ares. The God of War had certainly not expected that and was hit by his own light ball. Ares landed hard on the ground, next to Callisto. He shakes his head, smirked at the blonde woman and got back on his feet. Maybe not the best thing he ever did. The view in front of him almost scared him. Xien's eyes had turned black, just like he had seen with Camilla. There was something about Xien that he did not know. What he did know was, that Xien was stronger then him…for now. So Ares shimmered away before Xien could cause him even more troubles.

Relieved, Xien turned his eyes back to the beautiful sea blue colour, he turned and bends down to see how his son is doing. Dent, his beautiful son, how he had missed him. He must have been through a lot the last few months. But he did not have to worry anymore. Ares would leave them alone and he if he does not, Xien would personally convince the God of War that he is making a terrible mistake. Then Xien's eyes rolled to his left, to the blonde woman lying unconscious, across from Camilla. He walked towards her, eyes frowning as he looked at her. Then it came back to him, that woman was Callisto, this woman tried to kill him.

"Callisto…" he said "you deserve to die."

He held up his hand towards her head, eyes turning black. But something inside him stopped him from killing her. There was this strange feeling running down his spine, it made him doubt.

"Oh…"

Distracted by the groaning of his wife, Xien turned his eyes back to normal. Camilla was waking up, time to leave this place, there was a small village further on where she and Dent can rest. He walked back to his son, lifted him over his shoulder and then kneeled down beside his wife, he got hold of her hand and then flashed away, not knowing that Callisto was on his side. Just as he left a small group of horses arrived. They stopped and one man jumped from his horse, it was General Maxim.

"Well, well." He said. "Not the person I was looking for, but she will do."

He lifted her limp body on his horse, jumped on the horse and then rode back to his camp.

Pain is what she felt when she woke up. Pain throughout her body, all caused by that one light ball Ares had thrown at her. She groaned and pushed herself up, her limbs only moved a few inches. Callisto's eyes shot wide open, realizing that she was already standing but with her arms and legs bound to a pole in the centre of a tent. Ropes were cutting her wrists and ankles and she only made it worse by trying to break free. What happened? Where is Camilla and where's Dent? Had Ares tied her here? No, probably not. Then there was only one option left, General Maxim.

But that leads her to another question, why didn't the General kill her? The answer must be quite simple, to lure Camilla to him so he can kill her. Then Callisto remembered something. The knife hidden behind her back, she could feel the General had not found it. Callisto stretched her hands, trying to reach the knife. The tips of her fingers connected with the knife, she almost had it when suddenly someone entered the tent, that someone was the General.

"Well, well, sleeping beauty is awake." He said.

With calm blue eyes, Callisto eyed the general but did not say a word. General Maxim started pacing circles around her.

"I got you" he said "again."

"Good for you." She said not impressed by the words of the Roman.

"Yes indeed, good for me…" he said. "All though I preferred to see Camilla standing there."

When he was behind her again, the general stopped walking. He placed his hand on her arm, slowly trailing his fingers upwards until his path was blocked by her blond hair. Gently he rushed his fingers though her hair, playing with the blond locks that were hanging over her shoulder. Callisto didn't appreciate the General's actions, but did not act on his deeds, instead she kept attempting to get the knife that was tugged behind her back.

"I always found you beautiful Callisto." He kept playing with her hair. "And now that you have a good heart,-"

"I might have a good heart general, but that doesn't mean I'm less dangerous."

Not pleased by her interruption, Maxim grabbed her throat and turned her head towards his. "Dangerous? You begged me for mercy at Camilla's house, I could have killed you whenever I wanted and you tell me you are still dangerous?" he smirked, pushed her head away and walked out of the tent.

Callisto just pulled up a smile as she let her fingers trail down the knife hidden behind her back, finally she had managed to reach it.

Her eyes were slowly adjusting to the light, but the light immediately gave her a headache. Then the light faded and a man appeared in her view. She blinked a few times not sure if the man in front of her was real.

"Xien?" she whispered softly.

He nodded "Yes Camilla, I'm here."

Completely ignoring all the pain that run through her body, Camilla jumped up and wrapped her arms around her husband, pulling him closer to her refusing to ever let him go again.

"I knew you would come back." She said, again in a whisper.

"I'm sorry it took so long."

Camilla moved back a little, so that their faces were inches away from each other, she smiled and the pressed her lips on those of Xien, they kissed for almost half a minute when they heard Dent groaning.

"Did Ares hurt him?" she asked her husband.

"No, I could stop him just in time, Dent fainted from the fear."

The dark haired woman stood up, ignoring the throbbing feeling in her head and walked towards her son.

"Dent…Mommy is here." She paused shortly, waiting for the boy to open his eyes. "Mommy has a surprise for you."

Finally his eyes shot open "A surprise?" he asked with a funny croaky voice.

"Yes, look…"

Dent's eyes followed Camilla's finger as she pointed to someone behind her, that somebody was instantly recognized by the young boy.

"Daddy!"

The boy jumped from his bed, ran over to his father and threw himself in Xien's arms. Xien lifted him up, pulling his son closer to him.

"Hello big boy, did you miss me?"

Dent nods and pressed himself deeper into his father's arms.

"Are you ok daddy?"

He made his father laugh "Yes Dent, daddy is fine."

Dent smiled, he looked around the room and saw it was just him and his parents, he missed someone.

"Where is Callisto?" he asked.

Confused, his father pulled him back "Callisto?" he asked.

He nodded at his father "Yes, Callisto is my friend."

Angry eyes were aimed at Camilla.

"Camilla, what is he talking about?"

She sighed "A lot of things happened while you were gone." She said.

Xien put Dent back on his feet, his eyes never leaving his wife. "Please explain." His voice sounding a little angry.

"I found her in the village, I was looking for you but I couldn't find you. At first I wanted to kill her, though she was already dying, but then something inside of me thought it was wrong. I took her to our house and healed her."

She took a short pause, looking at her husband noticing the expression on his face wasn't changing.

"She was forced to stay because of the winter, at first we didn't get along, she tried to kill us a couple of times, but after a few months she started changing, I didn't know exactly what made her change but I think Dent played an important role in it."

"What? Camilla that woman is a murderer, how can you let her close to Dent!"

Now it was Camilla who started to get angry.

"I was a murderer too, you gave me a chance to change!"

"Callisto killed me Camilla, that's a little bit different."

Camilla threw her hands up "Xien, you are a God, you can't die!"

The couple kept yelling at each other, not noticing that they were driving their son crazy. He had thrown himself on his bed again, lying on his stomach, hands covering his ears. Still the yelling of his parents continued.

"Stop yelling!" he suddenly screamed.

Instantly Camilla and Xien stopped talking, both looking at their son, eyes filed with guilt.

"Callisto is my friend daddy, she doesn't hurt people anymore!"

Xien could see the pain in Dent's eyes, it hurt him to hear his father talk about Callisto this way. Maybe Camilla was right, maybe Callisto should be allowed to change, he's been too harsh on her. Xien walked to his son, seated himself next to him and wrapped his arm around him.

"I'm sorry Dent, you were right. And you know what, I think we should go looking for her immediately!"

Dent jumped from the bed "Yes" he said, throwing both of his arms in the air.

Camilla paced forward "Do you know where she is?"

Xien nodded "Yes, I left her in the woods."

"Ok, let's go find her then, she'll probably be looking for us too."

Together, the family left to go looking for Callisto.

I know I know lots of questiongs linger in ur heards. How does Camilla know Xien is a God and why didn't she tell anyone. I know the answer to all ur questions but I only answer them in the following chapters. During the story everything will be explained! But remember, keep reviewing or else I'll die!!!!!
