It's been five years since William last saw Gilly. He didn't know if she was alive or dead didn't know what she looked like but it was probably beautiful. She's alive. She's a fighter. Maybe she's happy with some guy and that guy is doing things that make her feel good. Don't think about her and all the things I dream of doing to her. Her twenty-third birthday just pasted a month ago so it was okay for him to think all the naughty things he fucking wants.
Things haven't been good in the last five years for any of the Lords. When all the hunters died theirs families decided to take their place so there were just as many or more hunters than before. Also Galen betrayed us (Not much of a surprise) when he found out that hunters were looking for him. He also took the Paring Rod (so we're still one artifact short of looking for Pandora's box). Kane was taken again about seven months ago, it's like he just vanished. And Gilly wasn't here. The main reason he hadn't left was in hope that Gilly would come back.
Knock. Knock.
Someone was pounding on the door. He was on the bed wanting to see Gilly in his dreams. Thinking about how she would be different.
" GO AWAY!"
When he didn't open the door they kicked it down.
" You're fixing that for me, sweetheart."
" We need to talk." Said Sabin.
" Go the fuck away, doubt."
He had his eyes closed. Gods how he missed Gilly and her smile. Fuck how many times am I going to think her name.
Someone graded him by the shirt and sat him up. When he opened his eyes all the Lords were here (All expect Kane and Cameo).
" What do you want? A kiss? We don't want Gwen to get jealous and kill us all, do we?"
" I know you miss Gilly but you need to-"
" I don't miss her." I cut Strider off.
" Man every year you mope around for a month after her birthday, well mope around more than usual." Aaron Said.
" I know you love her and-"
" I don't love her!"
Paris cut in " Is that why all the women you fucked in the past five years have had dark hair and eyes? This isn't healthy man. You need to forget about her."
He could believe Paris was giving him shit. " You have no fucking right to give me advice or did you forget Sienna?"
" Sienna was killed, later Cronus had her so I searched for months but Gilly left because she wanted too and it's been years. Let her go."
William was getting pissed. Maybe he didn't want to get over it, maybe he liked thinking of Gilly. "If something were to happen to Sienna I doubt that you'll get over it."
" No I wouldn't because I love her and you just said you don't love Gilly."
" GET THE FUCK OUT!"
Slowly they all left leaving him alone again. Gilly I miss you so much. Stop thinking about her!
P.O.V. Gilly
Gilly missed Blake but worse she didn't know if he saw alive or not. Through out the years they became like brother and sister. He helped her deal her past, be confident, teach her how to fight, and how to be a witch. Controlling the Phoenix was easier every day but she was always so hot. The past few years have been both amazing and horrible. When she agreed to stay in Russia and let Blake help her with her powers he stopped speaking English to her forcing her to learn Russian. Life turned around for her, she suddenly was rich and powerful but she still would think about the Lords everyday, especially about Danika and Reyes. They took her in and treated her like family, which is why on her nineteenth birthday she got a tattoo of twelve small butterflies from her neck down to her back. It was her way of keeping them close, they were and will always be her family. A family you abandoned. Don't think like that. If she had stayed she would've still been that scared and traumatized little girl incapable of defending herself, leaving was for the best. She is one of the most powerful witches in history turning immortal a few days after her twenty-first birthday. She dated a few guys over the years and actually fell in love but she couldn't open up to him and that's why it didn't work or at least that's what he said (sort of).
That was the worst day of her life. The guy she loved broke up with her saying I can't be with someone who doesn't open up. We could spend a whole day talking and I still wouldn't know anything personal about you. For that to happen I need to dig and it's just too much work. I'm sorry. She never told anyone about her past expect for Blake, not even William knew much. After she walked home crying all the way, apparently Blake was in trouble with a couple of Gods because when I opened the door they were draining all his power trying to kill him. She remembers that moment so clearly in her mind: her eyes were red and swollen from crying; all she wanted was for Blake to tell her everything was going to be okay. " Blake! Where are y-you! I need-d y-you!" She heard Blake scream in pain, "Blake! Blake where are you! Blake!" I ran to his office where their were three tough looking men standing over him sucking his life out. NO! NO! Maybe I said it out loud because they turned to where I was but I didn't notice them. " G run! Go now!" G was a nickname that he gave her when he couldn't pronounce her name right. " Get her." The tallest one said as he took out a sword aiming for Blake's neck but time at that moment seemed to go to slow motion. I froze the one coming for me and made the sword the tallest one was holding hot until he let it go with hiss. I took off my necklace, the only thing keep me from being found and gave it to him. " Go! I'll be okay. Go!" he hesitated but nodded and disappeared. Before I could get away one of them grabbed me by the neck. " You bitch!" he raised his sword and I closed my eyes but before he struck I heard " She'll do."
The next time Gilly woke up she was in a cell in Tartarus prison. She ignored everyone especially the guards and their looks. How long have I been here? She griped the iron bars for the millionth time seeing if they'll melt with her heat. They didn't. She screamed in frustration
" Baby I can make you scream for many different reasons." Some pervert shouted at her. She wished she had death to look forward to but no she didn't. She sat down in her corner of the cell with her knees to her chest and fell asleep.
" Hey."
She woke up to find almost everyone asleep.
" Hey." Someone whispered again. Urg. Go to sleep.
" You with the black hair." What? She sat up to find a guard standing with his back to her cell. Is he talking to me? Gilly walked up to where he was.
" What?"
" Get ready. I'm going to give you freedom." This time he turned around, " When you see this open you run and follow me."
She was confused. Gilly has seen him here; he's a guard so why would he help her escape. " Why me?" Maybe it's a trap.
" Your not the only one. Everyone here will get a chance to escape."
She still didn't understand.
" If you let us escape they'll kill you for betrayal."
" I'm already dead inside." His voice could give Cameo a run for her money.
" What happened to-"
" Just be ready."
She nodded.
Gilly was walking around in her cell nervous as hell waiting for the signal but she didn't even know she signal! What if she got caught? I'm gonna get out of here no matter what. It felt like an earthquake hit but the floor didn't move, everyone one looked at each other. We were all hesitant to move until Gilly pushed the gate open.
Then chaos began.
The second she step out of the cell Gilly felt her power return so fast it almost knocked her off her feet. There was shoving and pushing, everyone trying to follow the guard.
" Hurry up!"
Everyone was fast getting through the portal. To go through the portal all you have to do is think were you want to go and that's where you ended up. She was one of the last but she didn't care. Gilly was out of her cell and felt power rushing through her veins, No one on earth could imprison her right now.
She was about to go through when she notices the one that let them out being held down by two others. He wasn't even trying to fight back. I'm already dead inside. He told her, but what could they possibly do to him that he just gave up and asked for death? Gilly knew this was stupid and she would regret this but she went to help him. She mentality pushed the two guards holding him down sending them flying.
" Come on." Gilly said helping him up but he did move.
" No. I will receive my punishment."
She grabbed his face and forced him to look at her " Whatever they did to you they deserve revenge but you can't do that dead so come on. Fight."
Determination showed in his eyes and he stood up " Come." He said leading the way.
" The portal closed." Gilly said.
" I know another way but we need to hurry."
She nodded and ran behind him. They past a lot of servants or slave is the better word for it. She saw someone getting whipped by guards. " Don't say anything and follow along." He grabbed me by the arm and jerked me to him. " I need to take her to see Zeus."
" We can take her."
" He wants me to take her personally." Gilly had her head down staring at her feet, She didn't know what facial expression he made because both guards said, " Zeus wants her, well lets see what he likes." One of them grabbed her chin making her look at him. " What a beauty. Aphrodite would be jealous . . . you can past." They moved out of the way and we pasted through the room and into a hallway " Are they looking at us?"
She turned around. " No."
" We need to hurry before they see I let the prisoners escape." They walked until they reached a cliff; she looked down and saw mountains, waterfalls, and the sea shining reflecting the sun. Beautiful. Until she realized she had to jump. " Are you kidding me?"
" We must jump. Thank you for giving me strength, I will be in your debt."
" I'll remember that and I will collect."
With that they both jumped. Everything was fine, she was going to land in the ocean until something pushed her more inside the island. Good thing I can't die from this but it's going to hurt. When she fell she felt every bone in her body break but she held back a scream. She fell and started rolling down the mountain until her head a rock. Slowly her vision got darker and darker until everything was black.
P.O.V. William
William didn't want to be here. What is wrong with you? Paris decided to throw Lucien (his beloved brother) a bachelor party before marrying Anya at castle Sienna. There were strippers, alcohol and music, which is all you need to make a good party. He was in one of the rooms with a sexy blond stripper that had the biggest rack he'd ever seen and she was begging to have sex with him, everything was perfect expect the fact that he couldn't have sex. I can't believe this is happening to me. This has never happened to me. Maybe Paris is right. He couldn't have sex with her because she didn't remind him of Gilly. I so have problems.
" What's wrong baby? You don't like me?" she said sitting on his lap.
" No I don't but here-" he got up and reached for a couple hundred dollar bills " – you will say that you just had the best night of your life and never mention what happened or I will kill you." No one can ever know this happened to me. Ever. " Do you like men?" Great just what he needed. " I paid you to keep your mouth shut and not ask questions so don't ask questions and go." He was irritated. Stupid Gilly this is your fault. She did something to him, that's it, because he doesn't love her and loving her would kill her. I have nothing to worry about then.
P.O.V. Gilly
Gilly's head felt like an elephant sat on it but with a groan she sat up only to see Bianka and Lysander staring at her.
