Chapter 1: Nightmares

It had been 3 years since Gregor's been in a place that he feels he truly belonged and was happy. Now he was scarred for life both physically and mentally. He was constantly thinking of that place and couldn't get his mind off of it. He had nightmares almost everyday and hadn't had a dream in so long he forgot what one was like. Now he was stuck in Virginia hundreds of miles away from where he wanted to be most.

Gregor felt like he knew the place he was in right now. As soon as he realized where he was, he was on Ares's back saying he needs to get closer if he's going to take the Bane out. No he scram (is this the past tense for scream?) in his mind knowing what was about to happen but he dreaded it, hated himself for it because deep down he still blamed his call for his bonds death.

It all happened in slow motion as the Bane sank his teeth into Ares's neck while he thrust his sword towards the Bane's chest. If only he had been a little faster maybe then Ares would still be alive. As Ares fell to the ground Gregor tried to close his eyes, unwilling to see his bond die , but found it impossible to close them. As he watched Ares's blood pool up around him he saw his eyes open.

Relief flooded through him thinking his bond had survived the horrible attack the Bane inflicted. His blood went cold just as fast as the relief flooded through him. Ares opened his mouth to speak but with his neck missing it just made a pained expression. It killed Gregor to see his bond like this and unable to help. Seemingly coming from everywhere Ares's voice said something that made Gregor so unthinkably sad.

"Why didn't you die? Did the prophecy not call for your death?". Gregor responded with " I would have given anything to have you come out alive please Ares believe me."

"If you had just died like you were supposed to then I would still be alive, how could you do this to me?"

"NO!"

" If I hadn't saved you then none of this would have happened. I wouldn't have been outcasted by my own people all for YOU!"

"Please"

" I risked everything for you and how did you pay me back? You left me when I had very few others then as if that wasn't enough you, you had to send me to my death. TRAITOR!"

" I never meant for that to happen please believe me!"

"Now it's time for me to pay you back."

"No"

Ares picked Gregor up with his claws as Gregor, in too much sorrow, just stayed still not fighting back. Ares flew high into the sky till the ground was no longer visible. "Now I pay you back the way you paid me back. Goodbye BOND!"

Ares let go of Gregor and he went plummeting to the ground .

"NOOOOO!" scram Gregor.

Right as Gregor hit the floor he shot up in his bed. Regaining his breath he pushed the sheets off of him that were now covered in cold sweat. Nightmares like these happened often and just as intense as this. Gregor was washed with sadness as he remembered his bond dying again in front of his eyes. He grabbed the claw from the nightstand next to his bed. He always had it with him in remembrance of his bond.

Gregor held it to his chest wishing the pain to go away. He knew that if his bond were alive he wouldn't have said any of those things or blamed him but it still made Gregor unbelievably sad. Gregor's biggest regret was Ares's death even though there was probably no way for him to prevent it. He would give up anything to have Ares alive including his own life in his place. He would even go as far to say that he would rather not have Luxa's love to have him alive.

Just thinking of being so far from her made him sad. Who was he kidding she probably forgot all feelings for him and maybe him as a whole except for him as the Warrior.

Except now the Warrior was… Dead

He glanced at his clock that lay next to his bed on his nightstand and it read 3:45 am, but he knew he wouldn't be able to go to sleep after that nightmare so he got up to start another long day of his life.
