09: Heaven Turned Cold.

DABRIA'S POV:-

This place was supposed to be the place where I had the best time of my life. Whenever I used to hear Eve's painful cries, I always ran towards this place. And hid inside my room. I was glad that dad made this tree house for me. But because everything that happened between Zeus and I, I just stopped coming to the treehouse. It was painful for me to remember the time we had spent in this place. I never understood why Zeus changed that much within a few years. I was his princess. I was actually the only woman he had ever laid his eyes on. And yet, he became so barbaric when our time came. He became so barbaric that he crushed all my dreams under his heels.

There was not a single day I had not thought about him. I tried not to remember anything about Zeus. Because I just couldn't bear that pain anymore. Every time anyone mentioned his name or I remembered him, I felt like someone rubbing a gratter on my heart. To make sure I would feel the most unbearable pain of the whole world. I was sitting on the ground, crying my heart out while looking at that place. It was not as warm as it used to be. In fact, it was as cold as ice. It was cold as ice since the day Zeus called me a whore. I never imagined if Zeus could ever say that to me.

He hardly ever even called me by my name. I have been his princess since the day I had a heartbeat inside my mother's womb. Mom and dad told me that since that day he had been calling me his princess. And no one else was allowed to call me princess. Once dad told me that he called me princess and Zeus literally lunged himself at dad to tear him apart because he called me his princess. That same Zeus who never even talked to me in a loud tone. That same Zeus who couldn't see tears in my eyes. That same Zeus became the man who stabbed my heart with a silver dagger. No, it was more painful than being stabbed right into the heart with a silver dagger. 

It was the same Zeus who ripped my heart out and told me to live. After that, dad tried so many times for me to get to know other men. To find myself someone special. I felt bad to see him so helpless around me. But he just couldn't understand. You can't love anyone without your heart. And Zeus ripped it out a long time ago. Now, there was a hollow in my chest. And the love of the whole universe could not fix that hollow I had in my chest. Zar walked towards me and licked my tears. I just wrapped my arms around him and cried. At least I found a friend who never left me alone. 

Someone who couldn't see me cry anymore. Someone who couldn't see me in pain. It was Zar. The day I saved him, he never left my side. The scent of his fur was enough for me to feel safe and warm. I was unconscious all that long. But I felt him by my side all that long. I kissed his face and pulled away. "I just don't know what happened to everything. The life I used to have, I know it was not perfect. But at least it was peaceful. I had dreamt about so many things about my future. My life, my dreams, my love and even my wedding. Within four years, my whole world turned upside down and I had no idea what I did." I whispered while staring into his eyes.

It literally felt like he could hear me and understand every single word I was saying. Like he could feel my pain. Like he knew what I had been going through. It made me a little relieved that there was still someone in this world who didn't judge me. He loved me as I was. "Let's go back home. We don't have anything left to do with this place. I am tired." I whispered as I walked back outside and climbed down the stairs. Zar just jumped off of the tree house. I climbed on his back as I felt so tired again. He carried me back to the palace. As always, he didn't even let anyone look at me.

He took me straight towards my bedroom. I closed my eyes as he laid me down on the bed. He laid down on the bed beside me. I felt him covering our bodies with the comforter. I hugged him tightly and buried my face in the crock of his neck. It was a full moon night. And I could hear wolves howling around as dad had finally opened our doors for all the other creatures. I saw the silver light of the big moon shining on Zar's pure golden fur. That's the last thing I saw before I drifted off to sleep. I just wanted to forget about the world and jump into this new dream world I have. It was peaceful and warm.

I felt something tingling all over my body. As if a naked electrical wire was touching my body and I could feel the electricity running through my body. Frowning at that tingling sensation, I moaned and tried to move my hands and feet to shrug it off. I just didn't want to open my eyes. I was having an amazing dream and I didn't want to lose it. But despite everything I did, nothing worked at all. Instead, I started breathing heavily and my heart started beating erratically inside my rib cage. Annoyed with everything I was feeling, which was by the way very unusual. I finally opened my eyes to see what was going on. And why I couldn't feel Zar's fur around me. As soon as I opened my eyes, my eyes widened in horror and screamed on the top of my lungs.
