Chapter Four

They arrived at Victoria's house. Hephaestus sits on the couch and sighs. Victoria said, "Make yourselves at home."

She went into the kitchen. "Do either of you want tea?"

Hephaestus said, "I would love some."

"So would I," said Shiva as he sat on the floor Indian style.

Victoria made tea for everyone. When she sat down, Shiva asked, "Are you going to tell the others everything else?"

Victoria sighed. "I'll answer their questions. The only group who deserves to know everything is my favorite gods."

Shiva and Hephaestus nodded in agreement. Hephaestus said, "By the way, thank you for doing something about Aphrodite."

Victoria nodded. "I wasn't going to let her get away with hurting you anymore. She is going to realize that physical beauty isn't everything."

Shiva stood up and said, "We should go before the others get suspicious."

Hephaestus nodded. He and Shiva left. Victoria picked up the cups and took them to the kitchen. She then went to her room and got into pajamas. She went to sleep.

The next morning, Victoria woke up and got ready for work. She work at a florist shop three blocks away. After work, she went back to her house and started to make lists of everything she needed to get done. She had to do some grocery shopping and make invitations to send to the first group of gods she wanted to invite to her house.
