UNLEASHED: The power within

CHAPTER 14

" I know but I was expecting to be acknowledged at least not to be thrown out like that." Oh, every time I think about it makes me very livid and I don't like me when I'm angry. I get a little, scratch that, a lot destructive. To make matter worse, Selene is the very source of my irrefutable rage.

This is not going as thought it would. The only thing keeping me sane is how gloomy I left her looking. It brings me peace knowing that her heart knows where home is although the sight of tears on her cheeks tore my heart in two. The only being that possesses the power to bring me to my knees doesn't even remember me.

I'm grateful she is okay. I appreciate that the boy she is living with cares about her. I just hope that he keeps his hands to himself, for his sake. The excitement I had was doused by one simple word, leave.

But I'm not giving up, she is my other half. If she thought she had seen the last of me she has another thing coming.

"You know what, let's go see her right now. I cannot stand your sadness and anger. " Eros suggests, I hope things go well than yesterday.

" Now, is she not working?" I ask baffled.

"Doesn't matter maybe seeing her will get you off the edge" he stands up "come, let us go.''

We teleport to her workplace, and I have to say, this realm is asking for my trouble, it knows all the right places to tick me off. How dare he?

"Oh no, that's no good!" Eros's eye bulges at the scene too.

"You think!" I say trembling with anger. Dark clouds start hovering in the sky, I am burning with fury. At this point I do not care; I want to destroy something.

"Ares calm down, this doesn't mean anything. I like too much this city for you to ruin it."

"Does not mean anything?" Lighting strike through the sky followed by thunder, "look at how besotted she is with him."

"Come on, you know she has soft spot for him already. This is no news."

"I swear to you this time l am going to kill him!" I shout as drops of rain started falling from the sky. If I keep at it, it is going to be dark and flooding too soon.

"Ares calm down please." I try to breathe in but all I can think of is all the despicable things I can make him endure. I manage to stop the rain, but the clouds linger around since I'm still fuming.

I know my presence is quite clear to him, aggravating me is one of his hobbies and it is working. We stand outside the restaurant watching her blushing at every word he says. I can feel him cussing me in the back of his head. I am going to destroy him.

"How the hell did he even find her?" I ask still in disbelief.

"Really Ares, even an earthly creature can find her, how can a god not? " He dramatically rolls his eyes looking forward before scratching behind his ear. Bastard, he is hiding something from me.

"What are you not telling me?" I give him an accusing glare. I know my old friend too well besides lying is not one of his strengths.

He laughs nervously, "what are you talking about?"

"Do not play games with me Eros, every time you withhold information you scratch behind your ear. Talking will be in your best interest right now."

" Fuck!" He cusses clearing his throat, " rumor has it he has been sighted around here the moment you were banished to your palace. Before civilization." he says gazing anywhere else than me.

"What!" I screech in disbelief, that bastard.

"Not to worry, he wasn't able to do anything until last week. He was just stuck as you were until now."

"You are saying Dimitris has been here the whole time and you are just mentioning it to me now. I'm going to kill you" lightning misses him by an inch frightening him. The scream he gives is undeniable proof he cared shitless.

" Ares stop, you have nothing to worry about. The Princess has always been your nothing is going to change that. Right?" I groan when he adds that.

" I'm going inside, do not follow me!"

" Oh shit! I don't think that's a good idea" he says gazing behind me.

"And why is that?" I ask annoyed with the whole situation before a strong stench invades my nostrils almost choking me with disgust. ''you know what, never mind.''

" Exactly"

Turning, I see forsaken crawling towards us making me shudder in repugnance. Humans without sight are lucky for not seeing or smelling these things. My gaze goes to Dimitris talking with Selene then to the demons, I guess I will deal with my nemesis another time. I don't like seeing her with him but the decision has already been decreed, my presence is needed urgently by those bloodsuckers. Protecting her is the number one priority.

"Well, it's time to do that glamour shit," Eros says summoning his sword which is already coated with flames.

I summon mine too, it's nothing like Eros's but not one of my enemies has escaped its rath. It is a weapon of mass destruction. Iris, I know the name doesn't suit such a lethal weapon, but its appearance does. This sword was forged in the fires of hell making it indestructible, no one can yield it but the owner himself. If anyone does, it will be blunt and useless as a weapon. It's a response to no one but me. Well, except of course my dearest love, Selene. It is quite protective of her to an extent of shining whenever she is in danger.

Oh, how I miss killing anything, I thrive in bathing with my foes' blood. My instinctive armor gloves my body, and I am never fond of dirt on my clothing. Eros rolls his eyes when the shining of my armor attracts his gaze and I just shrug in return. Who goes to battles without it anyways?

"This is going to be fun," I say and Eros nods in agreement.

I plunge my sword into the first demon, forsaken is the accurate name since a demon holds a face like a normal human but is dead to the core deep inside. An exhilarating energy flows through my body spreading goosebumps when it gives its first cry. I swiftly cut its head off and it instantly disappears leaving the blue-like fluid on my sword. Disgusting.

We slaughter all of them, one by one. It didn't take time to wipe them out. By the time we finish, Selene has already left.

" I'm going to murder Hades" I scream in frustration. He is the head of the fucking underworld for crying out loud. He must make sure those things don't cross over. Damn it.

One, I can understand but those were too many to just say they escaped. Now I missed a chance to talk to my love. When I lay my hands on Hades, he is going to be sorry he ever existed.
