"Hermes, why didn't you tell me Aphrodite was here?" i asked. He didn't answer me. "Hello dear sister." She said in my head. I nodded and said I would speak with her later. Aphrodite being here meant she was after Ares. She has always wanted him and couldn't stand when he turned her down stating that he loved only me. That was centuries ago and I only hoped that she would understand when I explained what was happening. "Well its nice to meet you all." I smiled. "Are you hungry dear?" Esme asked. I nodded and Bella pulled me along into the kitchen to eat. I could tell Bella wanted more information but I shook my head at her and mouthed later. After we were done, Edward pulled Bella away and I was left alone.
I was making my way to the door when Aphrodite called to me. "Leaving so soon?" she asked. "Well Bella is a little busy and I didn't want to force myself on anyone else." I smiled. "No sense you can come with me. I was just heading upstairs to reorganize my closet." She said. she grabbed my hand and pulled me to her room. She shut the door and then turned on me. "Spill." She said. I sighed and laid back on the bed. "Ares, is in trouble." I sighed. "So you need to wake him?" she asked. "Yes, but Aphrodite you must understand. I do not wish to take him from you. I cant help who he loves. I just wish to save him. If he dies then my existence is over." I said. "Athena, I no longer want Ares. I have found love with Emmett." She said.
"I don't want us to fight anymore. I need your help sister." I said. "Anything. Now explain whats happening." She said and I did. I explained what I could and she listened. "Well I can tell you its not me or Emmett." She said. "I know that Aphro. I would never think it was you." I said. I sighed hard and closed my eyes. "You missed him. You still miss him." She said. My heart was aching as I nodded. "I love him and although he had done some evil things I cant help but love him." I sighed. "It's his nature Thena." She said. "I know. I was so angry at him for hurting Poseidon and for burning Athens to the ground. I locked him away out of anger and now he is being used. I left him weak und open and now I must save him. I am supposed to be wise sister but I do not see any wisdom in my actions." I whispered. "What would have happened if you hadn't stopped him?" she asked.
"Olympus would have burned with the war of the gods. Zeus would have had my head and Ares would have killed him for it." I said. "So how were you not wise in stopping him sister?" she asked. I sighed as a small smile found its way to my lips. Aphrodite was more intelligent than people gave her credit for. She was vain and shallow sometimes but for the most part she was loving. "You have always been wise Thena. You just have to find a way to be wiser." She said. "Aphrodite, I love him. I cant stand by and watch him be used. He is my other half. I know war just as he knows wisdom. It is my instinct to kill anything that threatens my love of him." I sighed. "You cant just kill everyone Thena." She said. I nodded and sighed as I closed my eyes.
"I better get going. Po is building a house for me now and I need to get back before he goes completely overboard." I said. she nodded and did something that surprised us both. She hugged me and I smiled as I hugged her back. "I love you sister." She whispered. "As I do you." I breathed. She let go and then opened the door. "You simply have to let me come over and help you decorate. Oh and we can go shopping tomorrow for some clothes." She smiled. "Thanks Rosalie. I would like that." I smiled. She nodded as we hit the first floor. "Emmett and Jasper, we are taking Athena shopping tomorrow. She needs clothes for this type of weather." She said. "Sure thing babe." Emmett said. "Jasper and I already have plans." A pixie like girl said as she came in the door. "What plans Alice?" jasper asked.
"I told you, we are going to Paris for a week." She said. "No you said you were going. As in without me." Jasper said. I couldn't stand to watch him defend himself so. The Ares I knew would simply say no and there would be no reason to argue anymore. "Rose, I really must be going. My brother needs to see me." I said. I could hear Po calling to me and if a stayed any longer then I would be called against my will. She seemed to understand and looked to Alice. "You said you were going alone so I asked Jasper to help my new friend. Hes going to do that. You cant change your mind now Alice." She said. Alice glared at me and I glared back.
