~Adriana Pov~
Sad I watched the little bird flying.
My thoughts were rotating all about Travis and Connor...
Did I steal Travis his brother?
Did Connor changed?
I really could need some help by now but I didn´t want to talk with neither my brother nor Katie about it...
Asking my father wasn´t an option neither...
But who could help me then?
I flinched when suddenly a young woman sat next to me.
She was silent although I knew she wanted to say something.
"You seem to have something on your mind, Niece." Artemis said with soft voice and I looked at her surprised.
"Why are you here?" I asked her silently and she smiled a little.
"You asked for somebody to talk to. So here I am. Talk." she invited me to tell her my thoughts...
"I don´t know where to start, Aunt..." I told her sadly and she patted my arm comforting.
"We both have time, haven´t we? You have a lot to talk about but not everything for me and I know it, Dria. But you have to talk with anybody for healing." she said gentle and I sighed silently.
"I really love Connor... I know you don´t want me to love any guy but I really do... But I feel like stealing Travis his brother... Connor is so sweet around me and really careful about not crossing any limits... But... I don´t want Travis to feel like loosing his brother..." I started to tell my aunt my thoughts.
She listened without interrupting me once.
When I started talking I wasn´t able to stop and told her everything I had on my mind since Micha died...
She just listened...
Would she interrupt me I would never tell this anybody again and both of us knew this.
So she let me talk...
When I finished she seemed to be thinking really heavy.
"Maybe you should stop avoiding your father, Adriana. You told me at least more than 15 times that you miss him so why aren´t you asking him for some support?" she asked me and I sighed.
"I can´t... last time we talked... I slapped him..." I mumbled and she bubbled over with laughter.
"He hadn´t told me." she chuckled and I really was puzzled.
"He told you about the fight?" "Sure, I told him I would have an eye on you because Zeus forbade him to see you. He had to avoid you. When your brother died he stood in front of Zeus and wanted to leave but wasn´t able to do so. He really wanted to help you and your siblings." she explained and I looked at her in surprise.
"But Dad never told me... Why didn´t he tell me?" "Because you needed somebody you could hate. You needed somebody guilty and Apollo wanted you to recover."
Now I felt guilty and dropped my gaze...
"Don´t. My brother had his thoughts for doing what he did but his words were made to hit you. So don´t feel guilty about it." Artemis told me and a little smiled played around her lips.
"It wasn´t right to slap him... no matter what... he is my father... I hadn´t a right to do this." "If you will feel better I will slap him when I see him the next time." Artemis promised and I chuckled.
She would and that was creepy.
"Please, don´t." I asked her not to do this.
She nodded smiling but became serious the moment after.
"The other problem you mentioned was your boyfriend, right? You are scared to hurt one of the twins with this relationship. At least it´s strange that Connor fell for you. He never would have occurred me as a boyfriend for you. His past was a lot past. I hope you got what I meant by that." she told me and I nodded carefully.
I knew that Connor had been the mortal equivalent to my father... But that time was over.
He had changed.
"I know."
Artemis looked up to the moon and sighed silently.
"Travis and Connor will never be separated by anything. Not life, not death. Not even love can separate them. That´s what being twins is about." she explained with a warm smile on her beautiful face.
"You love Dad really much, don´t you?" I asked silently and she nodded amused.
"Of course. He is my twin brother. He was always by my side and he will always be. The only man I really like." she told me chuckling and stood up.
She looked at me with her silver shining eyes and smiled friendly.
"You have enough to think about I think. Go to bed, Niece. We will see again." she said and I thanked her.
When I left her she was smiling although I was talking about boys...
Something wasn´t right, right?
But I didn´t care when I saw somebody waiting at the house...
Was this Connor? Why should he be there by this night time?
The person came to me and when I recognized him I really was surprised.
It wasn´t Connor...
"Why are you here?" "I have some business to do and at least you are part of it. I am very sorry, Adriana, but you need to come with me. I don´t want to hurt you." he told me and I stepped back.
Ready to run when it would be needed.
"What are you talking about?" I asked skeptically and tried to free myself when he gripped my arm.
I struggled but he was stronger then I was...
"No! I swear I´ll scream! Let go!" I told him before I felt pain exploding on my head and everything turned black.
So :)
What do you say?
What will happen now?
Who is this boy?
