CHAPTER TWO

I mumble to myself without noticing I was speaking aloud, "I shouldn't have come to this party..."

"Come oonnnnn. You look fantastic!" She enthusiastically tells me.

"I feel out of my depth, everyone here is just going to think I'm some stupid village girl." I look up at the draping vines across the stone wall mezmorized by it's beauty.

"Nobody's going to think that-" she rolls her eyes "-come on, I don't want to talk to a bathroom stall all night." She lifts up and fastens her heels.

We both glanse at each other. "Artemis, I don't think I can do this.."

"Aww Persephone, you'll do fine. Just stay under the radar." She nudges in her dress and lifts her head up high as we approach the front corridors.

I stop her as she's about to open the door. I pause and take a deep breath. "One drink then we can go, right?"

She smiles and looks down at the handle, "promise."

"..okay." I uncomfortably shuffle around my dress that Artemis let me borrow and just now notice it's too small on me. ---

"One drink then I can go, right?" I ask.

Zues gives me a frusturated look. "What?! No-no-no-no. The festivities have just begun!"

We both stare down at the crowd as people below us dance like the world was never going to end.

Poseidon studies me. I act like I don't notice and try to ignore it. "What's the problem? You normally drink us under the table."

We both chuckle.

Zues chimes in. "Oh, hes got blue balls because some nymph dumped his sorry ass."

I hold on tighter to my glass feeling like it could shatter at any moment. "Can you please not talk about my balls, or my ass for that matter." 

Zues and Posideon look at each other for half a second and crack out laughing. 

"Can you please not talk about my balls, or my ass for that matter." They sarcastically repeat in a higher pitch with smug looks on their faces.

I cross my arms and give them both a stern look. The look that you would give someone before you knock them off their feet. And not in a good way.

Zues finger guns me. "That's what you sound like."

We all let out a laugh. They're my brothers after all.

We both catch Posideon eyeing someone in the crowd. He looks up at us. 

"Zues did you invite Odyssues?!" He glances in between Zues and Odyssues.

"Yes Poseidon! I find it really entertaining when you get mad." He smirks.

Poseidon, still locked eyes with h Odysseus, thumps his knuckle on the glass. "Yeah, Odyssues! MOVE ALONG!"

As Odyssues scurries away, he bumps into Persephone and knocks her into the ground. Without looking back, Odyssues wiggles his way out of the crowd.

Persephone's wine glass hits the ground and shatters, everyone leaving her to pick up the mess.

I notice a the girl that Odyssues knocked down while watching  him leave the mansion. My eyes lock on her. 

I study her as I loose my train of thought. I memorize her perfect figure, her short fluffy pink hair, the solumn expression on her face. It felt like the world around me was spinning.

"Who-wh-o..-"

For the first time in centuries, my legs feel like Jell-O, almost making me loose balance. I put my hand overy chest for it felt like my heart was going to escape my body.

"Who is she..?"

The world around me crumbles into a little ball. All I can focus on is her.

"Sh-sh-shes.. beautiful."
