I want to apologize for such short chapters I'm going to try my best to make sure that the chapters become longer. Any suggestions are always appreciated , along with any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, don't come on here to just make an ass of yourself. Well I'm going to go ahead and shut up now, y'all enjoy!

At first I saw nothing but black; then I was at the beach with the sun slowly setting on the horizon, the breeze given the water the perfect glimmering wave surface…ahh water…the only place I usually felt right, my best thinking is always done at the river bank/ down at the sand. I wanted to go to the water and just submerge myself and let all of my worries slip away, but for some reason I couldn't move my feet. Out of nowhere a woman appears, she had shoulder length wavy blonde hair with the kind of complexion that every woman on earth wants to have, the rest of her was a lot harder to describe as it seems to keep changing as she walked closer. She shocked me as she spoke with a seductive voice that made my knees wobble.

"Jake, it's so good to finally meet you, well hypothetically that is. You look great," she started mouthing the last words with a wink. I had to admit she was right, I was at least 6'2 with a muscular build that could easily match some of those beefed up morons on TV, but unlike them I have a good amount of intelligence to add to my look, with my shaggy dark brown that barely swept into my sea green eyes, a deep tan , and bright white smile I guess you could say I looked pretty damn amazing; though I'd never say it out loud. Something still seemed off, how did she know my name?

"That's an easy one allow me to explain" the woman continued as if reading my mind, "I've been watching you for quite some time, I just adore the way you and your older brother protect Jenna, with your lives if necessary, it so adorable!" she said with a typical girl giggle. I haven't thought about my older brother in long time. He is only 3 years older than me but I'm at least 2-3 inches taller than him. We have nearly the same features, the same dark brown hair, muscular build, even though he started to slender down after he stopped lifting weights with me every morning and night about his sophomore year in high school when he joined and then quickly became captain of the swim team. I continued on and took the football team by storm easily becoming captain.

"Forgive me if I come off as ignorant here, but who are you?" She laughed, but then realized I was serious she furrowed her brow and gave me the 'I'm going to seriously hurt you if you don't take that back' look.

"I'll let it slide this time, but you need to work on your first impressions," She smirked "Now let me introduce myself, I am Aphrodite Goddess of Love and Beauty…etc. Those are my two specialties so I make sure new faces realize that," I tensed as she finished.

"My lady, may I ask why you have come to me now?" I asked. Worry filling my voice as I begin to wonder why a Goddess would speak to me directly.

"I have a mission for you, but you must not say anything to anyone do you understand?" I nodded. "Good, now I have a son and a daughter located in Manhattan and their in danger. A couple monsters have been sent to kill to spite me by an old rival of mine." She spit the word rival with such a venomous tone I was worried poison might actually come out of her mouth.

"So who is-" cut me off when her eyes darted to mine and I could literally see hate radiating in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter who she is! Just do as I ask!" With that she flashed out and everything went dark again…
