I apologize for last chapter where I kept switching point of views from Joan did to I did and stuff like that. Read, enjoy, and reply.
Chapter 2
Joan made her excuses and got up to follow Gaia. "Gaia," she called. "Gaia."
"What?" Gaia asked impatiently, not slowing her pace.
"Where are you going?"
"To the moon."
"Look, Adam was just trying to be nice."
"Do I look like I give a shit?"
Joan was so tempted to just give up. So what if she lets God down. He shouldn't have picked her in the first place.
"Keep it moving, Joan," a woman to her left said.
"God, I want out."
"There is no out. Follow her. She needs to tell her secret."
"What secret?"
"Keep it moving."
"Gaia, wait up." Joan panted. "Will you please just slow down?"
"Let me think about it," Gaia said. "No."
"Gaia, look, you're gonna have to tell someone sometime or another. Might as well be now."
Gaia stopped and turned to face Joan. "Loki sent you, didn't he? Oh, I thought I had him. I should have known he'd catch up with me. You tell him that he can die in Hell."
"Gaia, what are you talking about? Who's Loki?"
Gaia stared deep into Joan's eyes. Joan looked down. Gaia seemed to relax a bit. "You know what, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Gaia turned to leave, but Joan grabbed her wrist. "You have five seconds to get your hands off my arm."
"Gaia, why don't you just tell-"
"Five," Gaia counted. Joan let go. "Gaia, no one should be carrying secrets. You should tell someone."
"Carrying secrets isn't the least of my problems. Hiding from the ones I love, just so that they won't end up dead? Yeah, that's more on the top of my list."
"Gaia, you can tell me. I swear, whatever it is, I'll believe you."
Joan could tell Gaia was considering lifting the burden off her shoulders and just talk. But before she could get a word out, a high piercing scream cut through the wind.
