Sapphira's P.O.V.

Next Day

I arrived at mom and dad's house and smiled. The house wasn't a large one by any means, but it was cozy for us. I parked in the gravel drive and climbed out of my old white Impala throwing my overnight bag over my shoulder as I went. I pulled out my key to the door and unlocked it hearing dogs barking as I did so. I could feel my smile widening as I heard my babies barking in excitement. My mom stood in the kitchen entryway when I stepped in. " Hey mom!" Mom squealed as she dropped the towel she had in her hands. " Why didn't you tell me you were coming?!" I laughed at that, " I wanted to do a surprise visit." We hugged each other tightly, I missed her so much it hurts. " I missed you ma." She laughed breathlessly in my ear as she kissed the side of my head.

I helped her cook as we chatted- she asked me about how my classes were and all that. I stopped as I heard the front door open and close and dad walked in. He stopped dead in his tracks as he saw me. " There is my princess!" I laughed and ran over to him, jumping into his arms as I hugged him tightly. " Hi Pa! I missed you." He chuckled and rubbed my back as he still hugged me. " Any boys I need to beat up for flirting princess?" I rolled my eyes at his cheekiness. " Well that is kind of why I stopped by Pa. There have been these guys I keep seeing in and out of my dreams. I am seriously confused. One of them said I was promised to them. What did he mean Pa?" I stopped short as I saw his expression look to one of guilt and fear. " Pa?" I stepped back from him as I studied his features. " I am sorry princess, but it is true. I promised you to them so I could live to see you grow up and you could still have a father." I felt the breath leave my lungs as he said that. I felt tears welling in my eyes.

" No, i-it can't be true! PA! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!"

" DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE 3 GODS WRATH AIMED RIGHT AT YOU LITTLE GIRL?! DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE TO ME. YOU ARE THEIRS AND THAT IS IT!"

I turned around and pivoted on my heels storming out of the house and calling for Eddie and Ray, my huskies. They trailed after me dutifully as I grabbed my bag. " Eddie and Ray are coming with me. They are mine and you are never going to see or hear from me again Gabriel. You aren't a father. You're a monster and a coward." He stared after my retreating form in shock as I got my babies into the car and drove away, feeling tears in my eyes. When I pulled off to the side of the road it was because I was having issues holding the tears in. Ray and Eddie whined and tucked their heads against me to comfort me as I wept. I was angry at my father for doing this to me and hurt and scared and just plain overwhelmed at this point. I screamed as I saw the brunette man standing by my door. He gave me a sad smile and held out his hand to me.

I opened my door and got out, letting my dogs run around as they wouldn't run off from me-ever. I looked up at his face, " I guess you know then." He nodded softly, " I am sorry little one. He should not have lied to you or kept this from you. But you are ours little one." I frowned,

" I-"

" Shh, it's okay. I cannot speak for my brothers but I will never rush you. We have eternity now that the Fates have allowed you to be immortal and become a Goddess of your own to be with us completely."

I blinked up at him shocked before I fainted. The last thing I remember before darkness overcame me was the feeling of a warm and strong chest and muscular arms cradling me and the scent of the ocean. I awoke with a groan, head pounding. I slowly sat up, blinking the exhaustion from my eyes. I looked around in confusion.

I was in a bed that was on a large, wood paneled platform. The curtains were drawn in this large room to keep a majority of light from coming in. I turned my head sharply as I saw the door opening. A beautiful woman walked on. Most of her hair was pulled back, out of her face, and she wore a gorgeous Grecian dress which flowed off her frame perfectly. She scowled as she saw me. " So you're the one he is choosing over me? His wife for millennia?!" I arched my brows as she shouted this.

" W-who are you lady? I don't know who you are talking about... I don't even know where the fuck I am!" She laughed mockingly at me, a sneer on her pretty face. She raised her hand to me, palm up, and curled her fingers with a confident gleam in her eyes. " He cannot have you if you're dead mortal. Zeus is mine!" I gasped, feeling like the air was being squeezed from my lungs. I clutched a hand to my chest, gasping for air that wouldn't come.

"HERA! Release her at once"

I gasped, sucking in air as I felt the pressure release. I looked over to the still open doorway to see the three men standing there, glaring heatedly at the lady, Hera as she was called. The auburn haired one, walked around her and over to me. He sat on the edge of the bed. He cupped my cheek in his larger, calloused hand wiping away tears that I did not know I was shedding. I let out a small whimper and he frowned. " Hush now, you are safe with us, with me. We will not let anyone harm you- never again, my love." He pulled me into his arms as I let out a small whine.

I was feeling so very overwhelmed right now it wasn't even remotely amusing. I heard Hera scoff as the man held me close and protectively. " Do you not see why she is unfit to rule?! Zeus, my darling husband, we both know that she will bring ruin to Mt. Olympus." Hades had rolled his eyes at Hera's remarks, walking over to me and placing himself behind me. He put his legs on either side, caging me in between them both. " She is just a whiny whore, Zeus! You need a woman, not a little brat like her."

I felt a sudden rage wash over me at being called a whore. I pulled myself out of their grasps, glaring at her. I pursed my lips, a weird tingling sensation came on my arms as I glared venomously at the old tart. She may be pretty but on the inside she is an old hag. Her eyes widened as she stepped back slightly, " Why would anyone want someone so fucking superficial like you?! You might be able to make yourself pretty on the outside, but I can see right through you! You are foul, ugly! You are a shriveled up old hag."

I didn't know it but my eyes had been glowing and a large low hanging wisp of clouds that were dark purple blasted out from my arms. I was standing there, panting as her eyes rolled into her head and she collapsed. I blinked in shock, suddenly feeling absolutely drained of energy. Hera suddenly started screaming and clawing at the ground. The blonde man, Zeus, huffed in annoyance at the screaming. I stumbled slightly and was caught by Hades. He had a proud gleam in his icy eyes. " Well, we at least know you can tap into your abilities already, little dove."

"W-what did I do to her?"

" you trapped her in a never ending nightmare." I looked at Zeus shocked as he seemed impressed, " And she thought you were weak, how pitiful." He shook his head, chuckling as he walked over to me. I looked up at his taller frame, his stormy eyes seemed to have a subtle glow to them. " Welcome home, my Queen."

Author Note:

So I wanted to explain her powers a bit more. What she did was she put Hera into a nightmare that will never end. Her ability is she has control over dreams. So, for example, if you have been having issues sleeping properly, you could pray to her asking her to bless you with good dreams and she could do that. Same with if you have been cruel- then she will give you nothing but nightmares. I hope that will help you better understand her power now! :)
