Pandora's Box: Discord (girlxgirl) (Book 3)

A Goddess is Reborn

Author's Note: So, I'm going to work on this and write it all out before I post more than the first chapter, but I wanted to put this forward. At least so you have something to check out. Looking forward to hearing what you think.

Pandora enters her room, walks over to her closet, and puts The Box inside. She walks over to her bed, taking her shirt and pants off as she does. She face plants on her bed.

Earlier that evening...

"I don't want to make it better. I want to save the world." Sarah says, matching any advance Pandora makes although it clearly takes a lot out of her.

"I know you do. And I get it, but this isn't the way to do it." Pandora fires back.

"What do you know?" Sarah says with an upset tone.

Pandora looks at The Box as it glows, the power of the glow slowly getting weaker, "Trust me, I know... I know what it's like to have to sacrifice things you want for the greater good... and I'm sorry."

To finally close the gap, Pandora rushes Sarah with The Box in front of her, tackling Sarah to the ground. Pandora falls on top of her, The Box between them, and as soon as it's pressing against both of them, a red energy bubble starts to build out from the mystical object. Eventually, it envelops both of them, before spreading out around the field, hitting everyone in sight.

On the ground, Sarah's eyes glow more red then they've ever been as the spirit is drawn out of her. As it starts to go into The Box, a black light mixes with it and the bright red glow becomes darker. Pandora's eyes glow the darker red color, mixed with the black for a moment then it is drawn out of her.

All around them, the crowd calms down to the point that they are no longer at each other's throats. The players on the field do as well and go back to playing the game. After a few long moments, Pandora lifts herself off Sarah, sitting on the field grass next to her and pulls The Box to the side.

"How are you feeling?" the teenager with a destiny asks.

Sarah takes a deep breath, slowly pulling herself up to a sitting position before realizing she's got her full strength back. She raises her hand and tries to make the electricity come out, but nothing happens.

"It's... it's gone." Sarah says, getting more and more upset as she continues to fail to make the electricity happen.

"Trust me, it's better that way. You're going to be fine." Pandora responds as she gets up from the field, picking up The Box in the process and walking away.

Several weeks later...

Pandora enters her room, puts The Box away in her closet, and barely gets her pants off before face planting on her bed.

Earlier that evening...

"Don't you see? The problem with the world is that everyone keeps remembering things wrong. They can't see the world for what it really is. If we fix that, then maybe we can make the world a better place?"

Pandora struggles to keep focus, her memory fading in and out, "You can't... you can't solve your problems by forgetting about them. You have to live with them."

"But what about Jemma? You don't have to live with the pain of how you feel about her. You can just forget how you feel every time you see her and know you can't be with her. You can forget that you ever felt anything for her at all. I can make her forget too. You can start all over again."
