The Fallen
Ally's POV
"Ally wake up!" I heard a voice scream. I couldn't make out the voice it seemed so far away... too distant. "No Hera just let me handle this!" A voice screeched. My eyes fluttered open to see Austin and a girl with long wavy brown hair standing above me. Suddenly the dream I had rushed back to my thoughts, Austin was going to kill me if I didn't run...
I popped up and the girl just looked at me giving me a weak smile, "She doesn't look so well Ascelpius. What happened sweetheart?" she coaxed.
I looked at Austin, he still seemed the same but I was getting this vibe that I should stay away from him and maybe for good. "Well?" Austin asked coming closer to me. I scooted back away from him with fear coursing through my veins. "G-get away from me..." I stuttered. It felt like winter, my whole body was cold no heat was generating in my body I felt almost dead like. The girl with wavy brown hair came over and got on her knees. "Something seems off about her let me check."
"I don't need your help Hera." Austin complained.
"Oh really then why did you tell Artemis to come and get me? Couldn't get inside the building?" she asked in a mocking manner.
"Just get it over with." he groaned under his breath. "Ok Ally this might hurt a bit, Austin hold on to her hand." Hera said looking me in the eyes with reassurance.
He came closer and I scooted away from him, I was still in shock of the dream. Or was it a dream? Maybe my mind was showing me the future, if so why would they show me when I already trust Austin? The dream felt so real. "Ally please I'm trying to help." Austin begged getting on his knees. "Don't you touch me." I threatened. He rolled his eyes and nodded at Hera. "Wait what are yo-"
Her hand glowed a dark pink color as she closed her eyes and waved her hand slowly over my body. I felt shocks of pain shoot through my body as bit my lip. I wanted to scream. The pain was intensifying with every moment.
I looked over to Austin as he held my hand tightly whispering soothing words in my ear. My whole body felt like it was thrashing into fire. My legs wouldn't stop jerking at the pain I was feeling.
"It will be over soon Ally I promise. I can make the pain go away just hold on." he whispered in my ear as he caressed my hair.
"Hurry it up Hera... I can't bare to see her like this anymore." Austin whispered to Hera.
My mind was jumbled with thoughts I couldn't process. Suddenly I screamed unable to take the pain. Austin cupped my face forcing our eyes to lock. "Look at me Ally." he demanded.
I looked him in the eyes. I didn't know what to think anymore. The burning sensation was indescribable. But as soon as I looked him in the eyes all the pain floated away. It felt as if Austin and I were the only ones in the room anymore. He smiled at me but this time, it wasn't one of his famous smirks of mockery...it was genuine one.
"I'm done." Hera said as the pink glow started to fade. "I'm really sorry you had to go through the pain Allison but this was the only thing I could do to find out what was going on."
"I-it's fine." I stuttered still looking into Austin's eyes. She cleared her throat and our gazes snapped back to Hera. "Austin we have a problem... her heart, it's gone." she proclaimed. Austin looked at me in shock. "We have to get it back Hera she'll die without it." Austin snapped getting up off the ground. "I know come on let's go." she said walking out.
"Don't leave me here." I said in fear.
"Ally I don't have a choice your safety means more to me than... anything." he said shooing Hera out of the room.
"I don't want to be here you can't just leave me... all you're going to do-" I cut myself short of the sentence realizing I said too much.
"Wait what?" he asked in confusion.
"You can't have my heart Austin." I said in a firm tone. I wasn't going to let him have his way. All he's doing is trying to lock me up in here so he can have my heart for himself and only himself.
"It's not for me Ally. I told you I'm not going to kill you."
"Yes you are!" I argued. "I saw us 6 years later... you were going to kill me!"
"Ally I-"
"So it is true, you were trying to get my trust and then push me off the rooftop. 6 years from now I'll be paralyzed from the waist down and I'll be living off life support all because of you." I said making sure he heard every word of disgust.
"Ally stop it's not true I would never try to hurt you." he said getting back on his knees his eyes shining with regret.
"You're still working with Boreas aren't you." I asked everything coming together like puzzle pieces.
"I can explain." he begged. But I slapped his face, knowing that he would never feel it but I felt enraged and angry...and least of all hurt. I trusted him and I thought that's all he would need from me but he wanted more obviously.
"I swore an oath to work with him Ally, I can't break it. He'll rip out my heart and burn it. I'll be sent to Hell forever." he explained.
"I hate you." I said with tears strolling down my cheeks. "And I love you." Austin said looking into my eyes.
"Excuse me what?" I asked. "I was sent to earth because I fell in love with a human and that human was you Ally."
I looked at him in shock, everything came together. He didn't kill me in the first place because he was in love with me...but what about the dream was it true? Is he going to kill me later in the future?
"The future of me has nothing to do with the present. Unless there was a mistake and Ally you were never my mistake." He said cupping my face. I couldn't help all the tears that were falling now. It was an uncontrollable feeling that I couldn't die. There was a reason I didn't want to believe Austin thought I was nothing to him because I was in love with him too.
He leaned his forehead against mine as his eyes turned a purple color.
"I am in love with you Ally. I would never try to hurt you. Ever, that's my sworn oath to you." He said. "I beg to differ." a voice said. We looked behind us to see Boreas holding Elliot against his will.
"Boreas leave now." Austin demanded. Suddenly he held up a beating heart.. my heart.
Austin's eyes went wide with anger. "It's a shame she has to die at such an early age."
Suddenly someone started to bang on the door. "Hey let me in!" Hera shouted loudly. "What did you do?" I asked.
"I locked her out. It's just an enchantment spell on the door." Boreas said looking at the clock. It was almost midnight. "I thought we were working together Boreas!" Austin yelled.
"Well things change Ascelpius. I had to mind-trick Daniel into telling me the person you loved and then I knew I just knew you wouldn't go through with the plan."
"You can't do this!" Austin yelled.
"Oh yes I can. But I have to kill her first so the whole plan can work. She only has little time to live anyways, and I have just the perfect way to end her beautiful life.. or what's left of it." his hand glowed a dark purple as he flicked his hand at Austin. Suddenly he arched his back letting out a painful screech. I covered my ears as Boreas smiled.
Then Austin fell to his knees his eyes went from purple to pitch black. He turned his head slowly at me...and then there was that familiar smile, his sinister smile. The one I saw in the future...
"Hello princess." he said evilly.
I scooted away realizing that Boreas put a spell on Austin. I started to freak out in my mind as he came closer. Austin pulled me up by my shirt and sneered.
"I fell for this insignificant human? Despicable."
"Please don't!" I begged closing my eyes as he chuckled darkly.
"Begging won't get you anywhere in life. This our future princess and I like the way it is..without you in it." his hand glowed a dark black as lifted it over my chest. Suddenly pain coursed through my body. He was tearing my own shadow out of my body.
I screamed in pain as I tried pushing him away but all I could do was stare into his eyes.
Suddenly the door burst open and Hera stepped inside. Austin dropped me and groaned. "Ugh, I thought I eliminated you a long time ago."
"You're not Ascelpius." she said cocking an eyebrow. "Your really smart."
"I'm your sister idiot." she snapped. With a snap of her finger fire erupted from the floor and shot straight at Austin. He ducked as Boreas blocked it. "Don't just stand there attack her!" Boreas demanded.
I just laid there breathing heavily trying to regain consciousness. Austin shot dark shadows at Hera as she blocked them with a ray of light.
He ran over to her and pinned her against the wall a smirk playing at his lips. "You know I've never liked you."
"I know." Hera said softly. A dagger magically appeared in his hands as he raised it. Suddenly Hera was pushed out of the way and Daniel took a dagger straight through his heart.
I sat up just able to see Daniel fall to his knees in pain. Wait where did Daniel come from?
Austin's eyes lost their hardness as they went back to their original color. He blinked twice looking down at Daniel. He dropped to his knees as tears slid down his cheek. "W-what have I done. Ares come stay awake buddy you can't leave like this... I can't believe I did this to you." Austin held Daniel close to his side as he rocked back and forth. "Now look what you've done to Ares Austin. Now he's doomed to go to the underworld for life. Poor thing." Boreas cooed evilly. His sympathy was fake.
"I'm sorry Ascelpius, I couldn't let you get away with killing Hera. J-just tell her I love her ok?" Daniel choked out. Austin pulled the knife out of his chest as he groaned loudly in pain.
"I'll never forgive myself if you leave me Ares. We're best friends come on stay awake you can't-" Austin was lost for words as Daniel's eyes fluttered close. "I'll be ok.." Daniel said before his body went completely limp. Austin got up from the ground giving Boreas a death look. "Damn you Boreas damn you!" He yelled as his eyes lit a powerful yellow. His body glowed with light as the ground shook with great force. Suddenly Boreas was thrown against a wall blood trickled down from his lip as he onto his knee's. "Give me the heart." Austin demanded. His voice more firm.
"N-never!" Boreas argued. "Then you shall die." Austin said. The knife floated into Austin's hands as he threw at Boreas. It hit his chest as if aiming at a perfect target.
Boreas gasped as laid there on the ground his body jerking. "T-the knife is on fire!" Boreas screeched in pain. Austin went over and picked up Boreas. He plunged his hand inside his chest as he pulled out his heart. "Go to Hell." Austin said as his lit the heart completely on fire. Hera picked up my heart quickly coming over to my side. I saw Boreas disintegrate into thin air and at last there was silence. "This might hurt sweetheart." she said soothingly. She shoved my heart back inside my chest as I screamed in pain... it was over. It was all over.
Hera walked over to Elliot and grabbed his shirt. "Where is she." she demanded.
"Down the hall 3 rooms down. Just please don't hurt me!" Elliot yelled in fear. "Oh I won't have to. The gods can take care of that!" she snapped her fingers and a whirl pool of darkness appeared in the center of the room. "Ascelpius, I'm taking him in. It was great to see you again..other than the part you tried to kill me. I am so sorry about Ares...I knew how close you guys were." she hugged Austin goodbye before tossing Elliot into the dark pool. She hopped in the hole as it disappeared with her.
Austin crawled over to me and cupped my face. "Are you ok? Did I hurt you I'm so sorry." He ranted on.
"I-i'm fine I'm just shaken up a bit that's all." I said, his hands still cupped around my face. "I love you Ally I love you so much."
I pulled him into a tight hug, I've never felt so safe before. He held me tightly against his toned chest, his breathing was delicate but slow. I took his hand intertwining our fingers together. "I love you too." he smiled and kissed my lips softly. Heat rushed through every part of my body, begging for more I wrapped my arms around his neck.
He pulled back resting his forehead against mine. I could hear our hearts beats as silence filled the room.
"We need to get it Joyel." I said softly out of breath.
"Already taken care of. Hera let her out erased her memory of ever being taken and transported her to Chicago. It was as if none of this ever happened." he said. His hands carefully wrapped around my waist.
"I need to get you home." Austin said helping me off the ground.
He walked over to Daniel's already decaying body. "Rest in peace Ares..." He said solemnly as his hand glowed a golden color once again. Soon Daniel's body vanquished.
Austin walked over to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked out of the room. I intertwined our fingers together as we pushed the doors open. It was past midnight and I knew my mom was freaking but for some reason I didn't care.
"I want to stay with you." I said as Austin and I hopped into his black jeep.
"Ally, it's Titan's curse tonight. Being at my place isn't the best solution. We didn't destroy Titan's curse."
"I know but don't you think it's strange a fallen god hasn't attacked Mount Olympus?" I asked as he backed up out of the parking lot.
"Everything will be fine Ally don't worry all that matters is that were together and nothing can break that." He said kissing my knuckles.
If only everything was just as simple as that...
