The Fallen

Ally's POV

"Are you ok?" Austin asked sitting on the bed. He came out of the shower 10 minutes ago and all I could do was just sit and stare at the ceiling. Everything was just too overwhelming. If I was Titan's long lost daughter did that mean I was adopted? Why would my own mother keep this from me and expect me not to find out...

"Ally, I know it's a lot to take in but everything is going to be ok. You're safe completely safe." He said putting a hand on my shoulder. It was a sweet gesture but horrifying thoughts filled my mind... Titan's curse.

"What is Titan's curse?" I asked. Austin stared at me his jaw tightening as if he was lost in thought. "I can't explain it really. It's complicated."

"It can't be more complicated than what you just told me a while ago."

"Ally-"

"Just tell me already. No more secrets." I said with a serious manner. I wasn't in the mood for his games tonight. He breathed deeply, "Titan's curse is and always will be the worst curse a god has cast upon the world... it's complicated so keep up if you can." I nodded my head for him to continue.

"Truth be told that Titan vanished a long time ago, but no one knows how. He was the ruler of Mount Olympus but he created Athens along with another Greek god named Theseus... he had an affair with a human and in Mount Olympus. Human and immortal love mixed together is forbidden."

"Is that why you got kicked out of Olympus?" I asked interrupting.

"Yes but I only got kicked out. If the Olympian gods found out about it they could take away my powers and any memory of Mount Olympus forever."

I sat there stunned for a while, "Why did you fall in love with a human knowing the consequences?"

"I was in love Ally. When in love you do crazy things. I knew the consequences but I didn't care... I thought my father would understand but he didn't mind banishing me after all. Then Demeter made it worse by framing me for a crime I did not commit. He placed Poseidon's trident in my sanctuary. A secret room behind my closet doors. That's how I got here." he stated.

"Why didn't you blame him?"

"I thought I would meet the love of my life. But that was until I knew the severe consequence. But back to the main topic. Titan's curse is a day when fallen gods can take over a humans body and destroy gods and goddess."

"Destroy?" I asked.

"Fallen gods aren't allowed through the gates of Mount Olympus. Humans are. It is the bridge to the after life... Mount Olympus is like putting someone on trial. It is mandatory if you want to get to the after life. Hell or Heaven. We gods are basically guardians. We protect the Heavens and the Earth."

"Then is Demeter trying to send you to you know... down there?" I asked pointing to the ground. He gave out a soft laugh. "Yes and if I'm out of the way he can take my dad's throne. I'm still alive so as long as I'm alive he can't get to the throne."

"But what about the underworld and all that?" I asked suddenly interested in his past history.

"Oh you don't want to go there." he said with a little laugh. How was the underworld in anyway found funny? "There is the gate keeper of the underworld. He is the one that is the bridge to the underworld and trust me you do not want an encounter with him."

"How can you get cast into Hell you're a god."

"Just because I'm a god doesn't mean I have done good in the world. Ally... I've killed a lot of people, I have a bunch of enemies that would love to see me dad and caged into Hell.." He said with no regret in his eyes.

"So what am I?"

"You're not a purebred."

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked. "You're more human than you are goddess. You don't have powers and there is no way you can communicate with the gods." Austin said raking his fingers through his blonde locks.

"So why did you want to kill me in the first place?"

"I thought we were talking about Titan's curse" He stated sternly his jaw clenching and un-clenching as his body tensed.

"Well I changed the topic. Why were you trying to kill me I want to know."

"Some things are better left unsaid than heard." He said getting off the bed. I grabbed his hand and he stopped as I looked into his eyes. "Please?" I begged.

He sighed and sat back down on the bed, "Boreas promised me the ability of feeling. When we fall from Mount Olympus we lose the ability to feel anything physically and sometimes emotionally."

"Can you feel this?" I hit his shoulder and he sat still. "No am I supposed to?" he asked with confusion. I sat there in shock. This was too unreal to believe.

"If I turned into a human. I would be able to feel everything and anything. It's what I've always wanted..." he said making no eye contact.

"Can't you have both?"

"No. Having power and human ability is not a good mix. In order for it to not destroy you Olympian gods took away the ability to feel so it wouldn't kill the fallen god."

"So you can't die?" I asked once again. I don't know why but I was very suspicious and interested in all of this in a weird way. Any other girl would have ran for her life but not me. "Nope not unless I am cast into Hell."

"How does that happen?" He smiled at me and held out his hand gesturing me to take it. I gave him a confused look but took his hand in mine. One minute it was perfectly fine the next minute a golden light was glowing from the inside. He glided his hand off mine and put it over his heart. Suddenly his hand went literally inside his chest. I starred in amazement and horror as he groaned in pain.

He pulled out his heart as it started to beat softly. But still there he was... breathing and alive. "W-what a-are you doing?" I asked stuttering.

"It's my heart. It's the only way I can get cast into Hell... if someone takes this heart and burns it I will be thrown into Hell permanently." I stared in shock as his heart was beating right in the palm of his hand. It was beating and glowing a red with a hint of golden yellow. "All it takes is for someone to burn it right here." he pointed to the golden- yellow color in the center of his heart.

He smirked before carefully placing his heart back inside his chest with a small groan. The music note on his chest glowed for a while before turning back to it's original color. "Titan's curse is not a curse to be played with." he said distinctively.

"If a fallen god took over your body and forced you through the gates of Mount Olympus. You and the god could be thrown into the underworld with no way of getting out."

"But-"

"No but's Ally. I'm serious. You could die and never see your mom again. Titan's curse is what I'm trying to avoid you from getting caught up in." He said. His body going a bit lose. "Who can stop Titan's curse?" I asked.

"No one Ally. Titan disintegrated giving himself up and his powers to accomplish the curse. Titan is a part and made up Mount Olympus along with Athens. Theseus is barely keeping it alive as we speak. The only thing keeping the bridge to Heaven alive is the curse. Titan may still be alive inside the curse his powers are the only thing keeping the system in top shape.. we can't destroy the curse without knowing the consequence."

"There has to be some way do you know how many people will die!?" I yelled at him.

"Ally look at me. If we try to stop it Demeter will know.. he's already planning to take the throne away from my father and I." He said laying a hand on his forehead and massaging it slowly.

"Why did Boreas want me killed if he wanted to stop the curse?"

"I'm trying to figure that out myself actually.." he said easily laying back on the bed.

"Austin I need to go back home." I said suddenly. "Ally I can't let you go now. It's not safe especially at night. Fallen gods will be looking for people to swear oath to them and I can't have you begging at their mercy."

"Why do they need human bodies in the first place." I asked.

"Fallen gods can't pass without permission from Olympian gods. If they go in without permission they will be perished in other words thrown into the gates of Hell."

"Wow major punishment."

"You're telling me." he said flashing a smile. "So I'm taking you're Ascelpius?"

"Indeed." he said mocking a British accent. Suddenly my phone rang. I picked it up answering it, "Hello?"

"Hey Ally." Dallas said menacingly. "I ran into your friend Joyel, you should have stayed with me. Maybe your friend can pay the price."

"Let her go Dallas." I said calmly as I could. "Joyel seems to be having fun. This should be great... and look there's a car with her name written all over it." memories of the day Amy Phillips was killed inside a car flooded my mind and thoughts... I realized all I could hear was the line gone dead.

Worry filled my features, "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing..." I said slipping under the covers. I couldn't tell Austin, this was my fight I didn't need him protecting me 24/7 I needed to do this alone... I was tired of running from my fears.
