Innocence

*Bonus Chapter: Eros Thanatos*

*Eros' POV*
*picture of Eros to the side. Read author's note*

       "Eros, you need to go to school in order to achieve what we didn't." My mom scolded me and I rolled my eyes at her. She growled and I sighed. "Don't roll your eyes at me, young man. I'm just doing this for your own good. Now get in the car and let's go."

       I reluctantly did as she said and slunk on the passenger seat. I sometimes wished I was like my father; careless and capable of doing many things. But we all know that it was quite impossible. I mean, I'm kinda smart. But it took decades for my dad to achieve the knowledge he has today. Not to be rude, but he's old as hell. Literally... My mom is younger, though. Which explains why my dad always explains so many things to her when they're dealing with souls and crap.

       Yeah... My parents are kind of... The ones that manage all of those things here. Mom manages life and dad death. But they both have the task of managing the souls. Mom gives them life or leads them to a better place while dad just takes them to where they belong once their time has expired here.

       I am aware of the reason why they have to do that for life... I am aware that it's practically my fault... But they told me not to feel guilty about it since it was their choice and actions that made it happen. So, I've kept calm... Ish.

      So, my mom, after years of being stuck home or hanging out with Death or dad, said that it was time for me to get out of this 'shit hole' and live a little... Even if it meant that I'd be cursing anyone on my path... But mom said that I had nothing to worry as long as I didn't... Copulate... And Death said that as long as I didn't have kids, I would be alright. Tho, they warned me that my life wouldn't be all that... Normal. As much as I tried. My life is fucked up and I know it won't be that good. But I can deal with it. As long as I have my parents... I don't need anyone or anything else. Of that I am sure.

       "I think you'll have loads of fun out here. I mean, school isn't all that bad. You make friends and do lots of crap." Mom kept talking while I looked out the window. "Just... Be careful and don't let anyone get on your heels... High school can suck most times..."

       It's my first time applying for school. But my parents taught me well. Having a father like mine, I wouldn't need high school. But mom says that it's bad for me to stay in the same place every single day... That I need to go out and live a normal teenager's life, no matter what my destiny is. So... Since she's doing it with good intentions, knowing how much my mother loves me, I'll do what she wants me to. My parents sacrificed their lives for me, so it's the least I could do.

       Mom kept driving and I sighed. This new stage in my life must be interesting. I'm not scared... No matter my differences, I'm not scared at all. After my parents were marked as Death's assistants with their wings and all, I had to be marked as well. Only I couldn't be an Angel whatsoever. But Death made a mark on the side of my neck, similar to a tattoo, in the shape of an eight legged black star. It's pretty cool. But that mark only can show the difference I have... According to Death, everyone in the world knows about me and my parents... So you know their reaction when they see me in school will be priceless.

       "We're here." Mom said after a while and I realized she had stopped the car. I looked outside and saw the huge building across the street. Tons of teenagers walking up and down the stairs that led to it. I felt goosebumps but shook them off. This can't be so difficult...

       Mom looked at me and gave me one of her soft cute smiles. I love my mom so much... She's amazing.

       "Be careful." She said and kissed my cheek. Her warm lips pressing against my slightly cold cheek made warmth invade my system. I know mom'll probably be the only woman I will ever love and trust. Besides the facts that I can't be with anyone, I really believe the rest of the female population is... Just not of my taste. My mother is an amazing woman. And I want a woman like her. Because she's done so much to protect what she loves. I don't believe there is anyone like her.

       "I will, mom." I said and she wiped the lipstick off my cheek. Tho, it wouldn't had bothered me. But mom said that high schoolers usually make fun and judge every detail of one. Even if you're the most attractive and perfect person. They'll always find a way to point out any flaws or whatever. I really don't care about people. But mom does. So I have to as well.

        "Have fun, Eros." She said and gave me my backpack from the backseat. "Remember you're headed to room 667 when the bell rings. Second floor, from the stairs to the left and then right, third door to the left. Got it?"

       I nodded and she smiled. 

       "Good. Now go." She said and unlocked the door. I have her a small smile and got out of the car. The air was chilly, but not something I wouldn't accustom to soon. I mean, I live in the middle of nowhere, or well... A haunted, cold as fuck, forest. The air here is perfectly fine. But since I'm more used to the one back in my place, this one seems foreign to me... Funny, huh?

        As soon as I stepped forward, everyone started looking at me. I gulped and sighed. I fucking hate this already. I'm 17 and I am already sick of this. I wanna go home.

        I looked back at where my mom still was, but she just motioned for me to go on. She gave me a reassuring smile at what probably was a scared-as-fuck, strained one on my face. At times like this, mom said I would become as expressionless and frightened as my father. Dad was pretty serious... Mom was the giggly one. And I was both of them together. So I'm kind of weird.

       I gave her a stiff nod and sighed heavily. If only I didn't have to have a 'normal' life....

Aye!

I'm back!

With a BONUS chapter!

I really hope you liked this. I'll probably write a couple more of these. Until I reach the limit, I guess. I don't know if I'll make a sequel. I really don't. Especially since I don't think I will finish it for college starts in 24 days from now (It's July 25th; college starts August 18). I know I'll be super busy and I won't really have time for any of this until December, after finals. So... Yeah.

But I'll try to make a few bonus chapters now so, you know, ya won't miss me :)

Nevertheless, hope you liked this POV from Eros. :) he's a teenager already ;) ya think he'll be a rebel? Or a good boy? Hmmm...

I know he couldn't really get out to the 'real world' which is like where the other creatures are instead of the spooky forest where he lives at... But I decided to screw that and well... Make something different. He's not really immortal like his parents with an infinite life. So... Yeah.

SO YA! Vote and comment, guys!

Lots of love from

Silent Wolfie
