Question of the chapter: What animal do you think should represent her when she gains immortality?

AnaMaria's POV

Apollo opened the door and let me step inside first. I looked around in awe, never having seen a home so gorgeous. When you enter the house, you step into the living room first. I adored the large fireplace and the large windows that gave it an air of being much larger and very open. " Do you like it little one?" I turned to Hermes beaming and nodding my head vigorously, " It's stunning! This is by far the most beautiful house I've ever seen."

This caused the males to grin. Apollo put his hand on my lower back, guiding me through the house. We walked through the kitchen with the dining room by it then headed upstairs to see the rooms. The first room we came across was Apollo's bedroom. He had a large bed and warm colors were splashed throughout his room. . Next was Hermes room; I was shocked to see the monotonously dark theme he had but then I saw the massive TV with a huge shelf full of video games and DVDs. Below the TV was a large assortment of different consoles to play on.

Next I saw Poseidon's bedroom. I loved how light and summery it felt and it smelled like the beach too. The next rooms were of the ones I have yet to meet; Ares' room had old weapons mounted on his walls, paintings of battles, and his bed had a large fur blanket on it. Dionysus' room was a deep wine and cream color combo with a large white rug. Chaos's room was a deep gray with a large pair of windows on the opposite wall of his bed, and he had a large book case filled with books. Thanatos's room had a large window behind his bed with dark curtains covering them, and minimal lighting. Hades room was almost all black, and Eros's room was beige in color with lots of windows. Zeus's room was almost completely white with grey and gold splashed throughout the room. The last door in the hall had a sign on it with my name on it. " This is your room princess." Poseidon pushed open the door and I gasped.

There was a huge bed and the room was light and open. There was a large TV mounted on the wall in the corner, and I saw that one of the windows was actually a glass door to a balcony. There was sheer curtains that gave a soft look to the whole room. I looked to my right and saw two doors and went to investigate. One lead to a large black walk in closet- fully stocked with all types of clothes for any occasion. I stepped out of there and went to the last door, seeing a gigantic bathroom. There was a large white tub and behind it was the biggest shower I had seen in my entire life!

I started to tear up and Hermes freaked out." Sweetie what's wrong? Do you not like it?!" I looked at him, " No, I love it! This place is gorgeous. I've just never had anything nice before nor anyone who ever got me anything. I'm just so happy." Poseidon smiled softly, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me to him, my face in his abdomen since I'm so short. " How about we go and see the rest of the house. Sound good?" I looked up at him and nodded.

We went downstairs and down a hallway by the dining room. When Hermes opened the doors I gasped. There was a massive home theater with a bathroom off to the side. The screen looked like the ones you would see at an actual theater. Hermes grinned as he saw my awed expression. " This was my idea." I grinned up at him, " Well it is a great idea!" He laughed with me as we went to the next door- this leading to a large game room. I saw there was a shelf of nothing but board and card games and couldn't wait to be able to play them. The last room was the garage- which had many fancy cars- most I couldn't tell you the names too.

" Want to see the backyard now?" I nodded excitedly, hugging onto my panda tightly and skipping after Apollo. We went through the glass doors in the kitchen and I looked at the beauty around me. There was a large swimming pool, and off to one side was a sitting area with a large fire place. The sitting area on the opposite side of the pool had a circular fir pit.

We headed back into the living room and sat on the couches. Just as I was about to ask a question the front door opened and I heard multiple male laughs. I looked over and wished I hadn't; it was a girls wet dream come true. They were so many attractive males and they were all looking at me, making me blush and look down. " Apollo, who's this lovely little one?" I heard a deep voice ask. " Ares this is the girl I adopted, her name is AnaMaria." I looked up at him and gasped as I didn't realize how close he was to me.

He had dark brown hair and burgundy colored eyes. His face was chiseled and seemed harsh but his eyes looked soft as he gazed at me. " Hello, dear. Liking the house so far?" I nodded mutely, scared to talk and end up embarrassing myself. I gave him a shy smile before he was pushed away by a male with light brown hair that was gelled up and his eyes were a hypnotic violet color. " Hey there, I'm Dionysus but you can call me D." I nodded, my face feeling like it would combust from how much I was blushing. He stepped out of the way and I gazed up at a tall, dark haired and tan male. " I am Chaos. I do hope we will get along little one."

I nodded flashing him a shy smile. ' His voice is so deep.' he sat by Hermes across from me. A dark haired, heavily tattooed male stepped forward next," Hello Anna, my name is Thanatos." 'Geez, do all these men have to have such sexy voices?! ' I flashed him a small smile as the next to last male leaned down and kissed my forehead. " I am Hades." 'Omg a British accent! His voice is so smooth too,' I flashed him a smile as well, hoping my face isn't so red.

Then the last male stepped up, his face chiseled and had a beard. " I am Eros darling. It's a pleasure to meet you." He moved and sat by Thanatos so now they all were sitting around me. " H-hello." I heard a soft groan and a few of the males cooing at me for my soft voice. Poseidon put his arm around me, easing me from being around so many guys. He turned to Hades, " Where is Zeus? He's the last one she needs to meet."

" He's at a meeting with Hera and Athena." D piped in, " He said he'd be here by dinner."

Ares POV

As we walked in from work, I saw a beautiful short haired doll sitting on our couch. When she looked over, I inhaled sharply. Her large hazel eyes held such innocence in them. I know right then and there that I'd be wrapped around her dainty fingers and I will butcher anyone that hurts her.

D's POV

Holy Hades is she a beauty. I wonder if her face will turn any redder from all that blushing. Hope she doesn't faint, her eyes are so pretty.

Chaos' POV

Well isn't she an innocent beauty? I can see why Apollo adopted her so quickly, but why do her eyes hold a sadness to them?
