"We need to assemble an army. I want our best demi-gods sent immediately after the Princess Andromeda" I ordered getting up.
The rest looked startled. "Well what are you waiting for?" I yelled.
"Beth, why such a sudden decision?" Uncle Z asked.
"They have Edward" I whispered, not being able to cope with the idea of my child's father being tortured was so not what I wanted too see. But even though there was a whole part of me that was furious for what they were doing to the man I loved, there was a small piece of me that has relieved that he wasn't dead.
Hold on Edward, I'm coming for you.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Edward P.O.V
Seconds, Minutes. Hours. Days. They all seemed to merge together to make a timeless era of pain an frustration. All I knew was the present -that's what mattered the most.
Every time my wounds seemed to start healing, the monstrous creature's came back in and once again did their bidding - torturing me.
The only thing that kept me sane was thinking -and reminding- to myself that if I made it through I would see Bel- Beth again. Her beautiful face in my mind scared away the temptation of insanity.
It didn't matter to me that she had lied and pretend to be someone else anymore. Because now I actually know her true identity. And it's made me fall even deeper in love.
It still was bizarre that I was in a complicated relationship with a goddess. A divine creature. I don't know what I did right to deserve this blessing, but I'm not complaining.
The doors once again were thrown open, and instead of the usual deformed monster's, there stood Luke, the son of Hermes. He was a traitor to himself. It was pathetic.
"You're not getting anything out of me" I let out a dry chuckle, shaking my head.
"Well that all right then because I wasn't here for that" He smirked knowingly. There was something about his smirk that made me fear him even more than I feared the monsters. "I'm actually here to tell you something"
He's messing with me, was my first thought. My second was that he wanted me to think he was messing with me. Either way it was working before he even started.
"From what I've hear Anehta is growing up to be a powerful goddess just like -or if not even more- powerful than her mother" Luke tempted. Who was Anehta? And who was her mother? I had no idea what any of this meant and how it affected me.
Luke must've noticed the confusion of my face because a second later he let out a cruel laugh that chilled me to the bone. "My gods, you don't know do you?"
He continued laughing for several more minutes before being able to spit out a sentence, "And I thought she actually did feel a sort of affection for you" He shook his head. "But of course I wouldn't expect more from a pathetic Olympian goddess."
I decided to remain silent since I didn't know what to do or say. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about but it didn't sound good. But then I remembered hearing him talk about someone who was even more powerful than Beth - not that I really think that was possible.
"Oh, this is the most action I had all week!" And just as if he were jinxing himself there was a loud bang that shook the ship with such force that made Luke trample over. I let out a snicker and Luke shot me a glare before sprinting out the door toward the noise.
Whatever it was I hoped it would keep them distracted long enough for them to forget about torturing me. Times like these made me which that I could be able to sleep. They hadn't given me much blood to keep me full, just enough to keep me....sustained.
I fear that when -if- I get out of here I might kill the first human that I see because I cant stand the burning in my throat anymore.
The ship shook once more. It seemed as if someone -or something- was banging against the sides of it to make it tip over. Shouts were coming from outside the door, yelling in some weird ancient language. Which most likely could be ancient Greek.
Once again the door shot open, I didn't even had enough energy to look at who it was this time because I just expected more monster ,or Luke, to come in to torture me some more.
I faintly heard a strangled cry, "Oh gods" Someone sobbed. I felt them crutch next to me and pick up my head with their hands. "Edward"
In front of me was the one person that I was thinking of all this time. Beth. This couldn't be real. I must be dreaming, but that's impossible for a vampire to do so I must be dead -completely this time.
"Oh your so beautiful even in death" I managed to tell her mirage.
"Death? Edward, snap out of it your not dead." Beth gently slapped me. Her finger's reached over my head to untie me from the wall. When she did my body came crashing down to a pile on the ground.
"Oh, Edward." She sobbed holding my head on her lap. I wasn't sure yet if she was really here or if it was my imagination, but either way all I wanted to do was stay and cherish this moment. "Here drink from me" Still sobbing she sliced wrist open with one of her fingernails before tilting my head up for me to drink.
"No." I shook my head, while trying to bring my hands up to push her wrist away. I didn't know if I was going to hurt her, but I didn't want to take the chance.
"Edward I wasn't asking for your permission, I was ordering you." She snapped.
I opened my mouth to protest, but I soon realized that it was a huge mistake. Seeing an opening, she put her wrist over my mouth, letting her sweet godly blood drip onto my tongue. It was.....like nothing I had ever tasted before.
My hands finally seemed to respond, but instead of pushing her away like I had planed, they instead held her wrist closer while I clamped my teeth into her soft skin.
"There that's enough Edward." All to soon she pulled away, leaving me wanting for more. I felt my senses coming back to me, but they were more accurate than they ever were before. It was as if godly blood gave an extra boost to your system.
"Beth" I held her tightly, while standing up.
"It's good to know that your not dead" She let out a dry chuckle before wiping away some of the tears that had fallen from her beautiful eyes.
"You're beautiful" I mumbled. She laughed before pulling away from our embrace.
"Hold on, we're leaving"
I wasn't sure what she meant to I did as I was told and held her waist securely, and suddenly it felt like the floor dropped and we were falling into an endless abyss. When it finally ended, my stomach had felt like it had just been on the most accelerating rollercoaster ever.
Looking around I noticed that we weren't in the Princess Andromeda any more. We were in the meadow I had taken her to what seemed like such a long time ago.
"I have so much to tell you?" Beth smiled up at me. "Gods, I've missed you so much" She let out a laugh, tightening her embrace on me, while she laid her head on my chest.
I was going to reply, but there the near bushes that were at the edge of the meadow shook, and Beth let out a sigh, "I thought they would take longer." She shoot me an apologetic look before pulling away to stand next to me.
This was the first time I actually paid attention to what she was wearing. She looked like an ancient warrior princess. With the leather uniform and roman styled combat sandals.
"Took you long enough" A voice said from the bushes. And from them a familiar annoying wolf came out.
"Wow, Bells. Blonde? Really?" He shook his head smiling.
"Shut-up Jacob, it's my natural color" Beth rolled her eyes, walking closer to him.
"Sure, whatever you say" He seemed to have noticed me, because he grimaced. "Bloodsucker"
"Jacob" I nodded.
"So what's with the Xena outfit?" Jacob joked.
Beth didn't have enough time to answer, because there was a strike of lightning in the middle of the field. Knowing the drill I covered my eyes, and waited until the light disappeared.
There in the middle of the meadow stood a man who I was pretty sure was a god. Not just because he came out of lightning but because he was dressed in armor like Beth's, but his was more soldier-like for a man.
"Beth A.J.'s gone"
