~Apollo Pov~

Sighing silently I watched Will talking excited to that Hermes son my dear daughter seemed to like a lot.

If I remembered correctly his name was Connor Stoll and his behavior was as good as my own when it came to beautiful girls.

And that my Adriana was a beauty I would proudly admit.

But of course I hasn´t showed up around her anymore.

Will had made it very clear that he would not defend me this time and it was clear why.

He missed his brother just as much as his little sister did.

But both of them didn´t get it that I was really helpless...

I wanted to help them... I really wanted!

But Zeus had forbidden it!

He had even watched over me that I wouldn´t do anything against his orders...

Again I sighed and disappeared home to the Olymp.

Thinking of this day...

Dria had really been begging me to appear...

My ears had rang like bells but I had no choice...

I really had wanted to go... I really had wanted to help...

But I was as helpless as Dria had been...

Now she hated me...

of course she had all rights to hate me but it hurt...

~Day of Michas Death~

Running like being chased by my sister I run into the room my father told me to come in.

Really? I needed to be somewhere else by now!

My head hurt like being hit with anything really heavy ...

"Apollo, you´re late." Zeus told me and I saw my sister in the room as well.

Why did we both were needed here right now?

My children needed my help!

They really screamed for me and I felt like screaming as well.

"I am sorry."

Artemis looked at me a little worried.

Why were we here by now?

"what´s up?" I asked annoyed and closed my eyes a second.

It really hurt! Dria really begged for me appearing...

DAMN!

Zeus looked at me with this neutral gaze I hated the most.

That was never something I would like...

"He wants that you stay away from your daughter." Artemis told me silently and I narrowed my eyes on my father.

Was he crazy?

He knew exactly what would happen around my baby girl...

I could not stand there and watch her becoming hurt! In so many ways!

"No way." I said with angry voice and crossed my arms over my chest.

"It´s not a request, Apollo. It´s an order." Zeus said without a single feeling in his tone!

"No. You know what will happen! I told you everything I know about her future! I am not able to stay away and watch all this!" I flared up but he didn´t care...

I felt something becoming cold...

Micha... Dria overused her powers...

She wasn´t able to do anything...

"I need to go." I said silently feeling more then bad.

"You won´t. Leave her alone. You´ll stay here." Zeus told me and I looked at him angryly.

"Seriously? She will hate me!" "Then you will have no problems with staying away from her." he told me and Artemis dropped her gaze on the floor...

Silently I stared at Zeus.

He couldn´t be serious about this...

could he?

I growled angryly but I couldn´t do anything against it...

"Apollo!" Artemis called after me when I rushed away.

"What?!" I snapped at her and my twin sister looked at me worried.

"I´ll watch over her for you. Dad didn´t know it. I´ll have an eye on her, promise." she told me and I nodded slowly when I felt the prayers faiding...

"He forced me to let my son die... To let my daughter become more lonely then before... I won´t forgive this... Ever!", I told Artemis and she hugged me comforting.

"I know...", she whispered and I really felt horrible.

Dria would never get to know why...

Maybe she needed to hate me.

Else she would hate Zeus and that would even become worse.

"Thanks, baby sis. Go for your huntresses." I told Artemis gentle and she nodded.

"Don´t do anything you could regret, brother!" she told me and I laughed humorless.

"I did already. I wasn´t there when they needed me." I answered and she sighed before vanishing.

~present day~

Artemis told me again and again what Dria was doing and how she learned smiling again.

Connor helped her a lot...

Hermes nearly fell down from laughing when I told him that one of his twins had fell in love with my daughter.

He really thought it was a joke until he saw them himself.

When I finally talked to her I really felt horrible but I needed her to be angry...

She had to hate me...

Else she would hate every god on Olympus.

Maybe she would forgive me anytime but by now I only could talk to Will and hope he would have an eye on my baby girl.

I really missed her smile...

Why wanted Zeus to punish both of us like this?

next chap will be Connor Pov ;D

Liked this one? :)
