It's Time

I sat, horrified, watching through the seeing glass as the brunette swung the scythe around with little difficulty, as if she was born to wield it. She was getting too violent, I thought. She's going to really hurt someone.

But what could I do? This was probably my fault in the first place! I mean, I'm probably the one who sired her! She's my responsibility, yet I...

Yet I did nothing. Totally not cool.

I turned around to the approaching sound of footsteps, facing Hermes as he walked into my chambers. "Don't you think you should step up to the plate and go see her?" The messenger god asked me as he raised a brow skeptically. "I can't until I know for sure, Herms. You know how it is."

"But she might kill that girl. Ares will be furious if she does, which reminds me..." My friend took a few steps forward, tapping lightly on the glass mirror at Laura. "I saw him eyeing your daughter. I think he's got a thing for her since she's a wicked fighter and all."

"So he doesn't care that she's about to kill his kid? And what about him and Aphy?"

"He said he was going to 'teach her a lesson', but I don't know. You know how he can be; all bark, no bite." Hermes responded, crossing his arms as he lied against the wall behind him. "Besides, you know he likes it spontaneous. He's probably just gotten bored and needs something to spice it up."

"No way, man. He is not going to lay one grubby finger on my little girl!" I snapped, a nearby lily I had in my room catching fire, which really sucked because Hera gave it to me as a gift. "Well, then get your godly ass down there and go see her." Herms responded, motioning to my vehicle that was parked outside. "You know what? I think I will! Thanks, Hermes. You're not too bad, even if you are a thieving bastard."

"Still holding a grudge about your cows? Come on man, I gave you my lyre. Let it go."

"Whatever. See you later, Herms." I gave a friendly wave as I got into my 'car', starting it up and beginning to 'drive' off of Mt. Olympus. I could faintly hear my friend call out a goodbye as I drove away.

"Catch you later, Apollo!"
