All Chapters of Hades' Doctor : Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

"Ahhhh."I wake up screaming in the middle of the night like in those scary horror movies. A thundering heart, the familiar smell of sweat, the vivid images of a nightmare that refuses to fade. The hair that sticks to my neck like tiny creeping claws are peeled away by my trembling fingers. When I widrew them in the night lights, they are dyed in deep crimson, nails dripping fresh blood. I was wrong to fall asleep. A whimper leaves my lips and I fumble off the bed heading to the bathroom. When the lights hit, I gaze down to my hands without a speck of the blood spilled. The relief I felt was only fleeting before nightmare replayed. With each blink my reality changed as I screamed wanting for it to stop. I knew deep down that I had woken up, that it was over but my mind was still fussy. Gingerly turning the knob I let myself soak to the skin in the shower and scrub away at my hands wishing it could wash away those gruesome scenes. The girl in the mirror stared back at me, her

Sensing movement, I open my eyes to the light. She stirs in signs of awakening, her fingers curls and then soothe, but as she proceeds to turn away she finds a frustrating obstacle and open her lolite eyes the fraction mine close. My hands in fussy command move with the sole purpose to free my restrained locks. But they immediately withdraw coming upon something unbelievably soft, hair of a very different texture. I gain clarity of my surroundings slowly and then all of a sudden. There at a distance easy to neglect, the King of the Underworld lay sprawled on my hair. Felling shocked, was an understatement. The amber eyes with their magics and tricks were hidden away within thick sets of lashes, his usually close held lips were in the moment parted with smooth jaw lines in ease and tousled hair giving off the sense of a careless beauty. Carefully I bring my hands over my chest wanting to silence the noisy organ as alarms blare in my mind in fluorescent colors. Dangerous God

My eyes were drawn away by something shiny in the distance and as we flew closer the bigger it became soon to reveal the mythical adobe of the Grecian gods with stunning mansions, humongous colosseums, wide halls and numerous palaces each unique in style while connected by roads of gold. A very low-key neighbourhood. At the centre of this golden city was a palace larger than the rest with swirling dark clouds of a storm releasing silver snakes of lightening that marked its owner and warned intruders. The very humble home of Zeus. The chariot decended slowly to a marbled path and our escorts parted disappearing without a trace when the sound of galloping hooves sounded. As they departed I felt a pang of disappointment for I was playing with the plan to kidnap of one of the winged horses I console myself thinking, I still have Hades' horses. But as if I had said those words out loud to the world, their owner turns back leaving me slightly startled. Can he read my mind? Can he

"Mom?"She doesn't answer and silently helps me up keeping a firm grip around my waist. I stare back at the green eyes with brown freckles I knew byheart but even as she smiles with the same gentleness I find her unfamiliar and the lack of onslaught by questions for my tears keeps me cautious. I break free from her hold and lean onto the wall. "Who are you?" I ask and then almost putting an end to my days with fright she jumps clapping her hands while squealing. "I was waiting for you to figure it out on your own." Her voice was the softest of velvet and mischief built her grins. Simply staring for a while I decide to make my grand escape but Mother Dearest extends her hand for me to shake. "I am Aphrodite."Unintentionally my grip tightens "You...are the goddess of love."She seems delighted by my insight and quickly adds on. "The goddess of beauty too."Seeing her face lighten up in a jolly mood and still jumping around in my mother's work clothes got me close to feeling nauseou
