Mythos

Tension

"I have never seen him act that way, especially towards Odette." Jasmine says, she then looks at me.

"Its my fault." I say.

"No, its not. I think Odette has been taking things way too far. She knows you two are mated and she wont stop. She went around spreading lies." Fae says, anger in her voice.

"Fae." Solice says.

"I am not saying she deserved that, i think there should have been a different approach." Fae says. "But she had to understand that, hurting you, any type of hurt will make him angry."

"I have heard the rumors, but i have never seen it happen first hand." Solice says.

"Yeah, the dragons are very protective." Jasmine says. "Has anything happened?"

Everyone looks at me. Waiting for a response. I clear my throat.

"Ah, well we had to kiss, to try and calm him down." I say quietly.

"What, what do you mean calm him down?" Solice asks, intrigued.

"See i told you, dragons cant wait that long to mate." Jasmine says.

"Athena!" Fae says.

"We had it under control." I lie.

"I dont believe you." Fae says. "What happened?"

"It was nothing." I say.

"Nothing? Nothing?" Fae repeats. "If it was nothing then why did you have to kiss to control him?"

I dont say anything.

"Athena?" Fae says. "Athena please."

"He attacked me, ok is that what you want to hear?" I yell. "He lost himself when we were alone, he was about to take me himself at that moment, and i kept fighting him until he came back to his senses." I am almost standing close to Fae, she looks in pain, they all do. Fae walks up to me. She has sadness in her eyes.

"You promised that you would be ready the moment he would take you." Fae says.

"No, i promised that i would be ready, in 4 days." I say.

"Its only been one day Athena, One and he has already attacked you." Jasmine says. "He wont be able to make it to four."

"Ill figure something out." I say.

Before they can keep pestering me i walk away into the room Fae has given to me. I close the door and lay on the bed, frustrated. I can hear them talking amongst themselves. Worried about Othniel, but i should be worried too. Jasmine is right, today was day one, and he lost control, on day one. I dont know how long he can last. Not only that but we have to head and find the Banshee very soon.

We need to find answers.

I feel my body drifting, drifting into a long sleep.

I find myself back in my apartment. Sipping the delicious coffee, my phone is beeping, letting me know i have a message, and emails. I grab my phone but it breaks in my hands.

I let out shriek of panic. I try see how it happened, how in the hell my did my phone break in my hands? Theres sand everywhere. I hear a small laughter, like a little girl in the far off distance. The ground beneath my feet give away and i am falling down into complete darkness.

I try to look for something, something to stop my fall, but i cant. A brilliant light takes my vision, a dragon flies out of the darkness its widening jaw filled with razor sharp teeth, its mouth full of fire, it takes a hold of my arm, swallowing it hold. I try to let out a scream, as it begin to heat up, the dragon begins to shrink turning dark, wrapping itself around my arm. The burning sensation, minimizing, I then feel myself slowing down, a smaller light taken a hold of me, but this time there is warmness. I then am no longer falling down a dark tunnel, but instead find myself laying on the warm soft grass. As i look up there are beautiful stars, in the night sky. Oh how i missed them, my terrible dream was becoming nice and soft. I was no longer scared, i felt, safe and secure.

I open my eyes, the room spins for a second there is sweat on my back and neck, my heart is racing, the dream is still in my playing in my head, the dragons mouth, the dragon molding into my arm, the warmthless followed, the stars, i then look at my arm and notice someone laying next to me.

I slowly get up, my eyes close to the arms, the veins swirling here and there, the large mountains of muscles taking the whole arm. I feel my breath stuck on my throat as i see more of his broad shoulders.

I reach towards him and stop before i make contact with his skin, my mark on my arm is burning me, making me want to touch him. Want to feel him. His skin seems so rough and soft at the same time. I look up at his face, Othniels face, his eyes starting at me, I can no longer breath, his orange eyes stare into mines, his thick eyebrows furrowed, but not in disgust or anger but in confusion, confusion on what i am up to. He doesn't say anything as he stares at me, i then pull my body up, and away from him, but i then feel his arms tighten around me, pulling me to him, no words comes out of his lips. But his breath hitches, as he stares at me.

He pulls me closer to him, i am laying on him at his point, i feel my heart in my stomach. He lifts his head getting closer to mine. "Othniel?" I whisper. His lips capture mine, there is hunger in them.

I put my hand on his chest, but this time i dont pull away, this time i feel my hands feeling his body, touching his body for the first time. Our lips dance together. He wraps his arms tighter around me pulling me to him tighter, his losens his arms and i feel them traveling down my body, his hands burning me wherever they touch me, my mark feel cool, as his body caresses mine.

I get on top of his body, my legs wrapped around his torso. His hands both on my hips. His kiss deepening more and more. I hear him moan as i grind on his hardening man hood.

I put my hands on his hard chest and pull away, with ease, we are both breathing hard. His darked eyes stare at me with passion, and amazement. He then puts his arm on my back and tries to pull me down back to him.

"No, no more." I say.

"Why do you keep fighting it?" Othniel asks.

I furrow my brows. "Since when do you want this?"

Othniel stares at me, clearly there is something there but he doesnt say anything, he slowly picks me up and lays me on the bed, he picks himself up fixing himself. His buldge making his pants tightening around him once again.

He fixes himself and begins to walk towards the door. "Othniel?" I say, making him stop, he then turns around and looks at me.

"Since when do you want this? Last time i checked, you and I hate each other, dont you want to get this mark rid of me?" I stand up and look at him, his eyes filled with confusion. I watch every muscle on his face battle with each other. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair.

"Lets just hurry up and get rid of this mark." I say, i grab his arm, he stands there staring at me. He looks down at the floor, his eyes darkening with anger, he then pulls his arm away from me and leaves the room, i stand there confused.

I laid in bed most of the day, angry and frustrated, angry at Othniel who just shows up in bed out of nowhere, but I instated a make out section. Frustrated because i dont know what is wrong with me? Why was i feeling that way? Was it because of the mark? I felt so attracted to him in that moment, his skin felt so amazing under my finger tips. Yet it was wrong, all of it. We hated each other. He wanted me dead from the beginning. Didnt care to even listen to me.

So now just because of the mark he wants me? I dont understand why. I dont get it, does he feel the same way i feel, when i look at him, in that moment? When his eyes are such a beautiful shade of orange. The way his eyebrows furrow whenever he is thinking hard.

Ugh get him out of your head Athena! Stop thinking this way! The sooner i can get this off of me, the sooner i can make my escape and go home, ugh i cant wait to make my escape and leave this place. Go home and hug mom and dad. Please God ill let mom set me up with who ever,ill spend more time with them.

Please God let me leave this place, i promise ill be better. I feel the tears falling down my face, i just want to leave this place and go home. I wrap my arms around my body, i still cant believe i had fallen down that whole, i should have just stayed at dads birthday party, there were so many times i could turned around and gone home, but i stupidly wanted to go on top of the mountain and breathed.

I smack the bed letting out a shriek. "I hate this!" I cry out. I let another round of tears fall, before i fix myself and head out of the room. Walking through the door, i see the small little house is empty, Fae is not home, she must be helping the others.

I need a bath, and then I need answers.

I find the little flasks, that Fae had given me to bathe with, the one for hair and the one for body. f**k i have to call Othniel to take me to the pools. I just hate it, I just wish i would call Wyvern but i know Othniel will have a fit.

I step outside, I feel eyes on me, most of the fairies are looking at me, some with fear, they talk among themselves, they must blame me because of what happened with Othniel and Odette, but that wasnt my fault.

I sigh and make myself to the edge. Taking a deep breath, I try to find the corage to call Othniel, if he'll answer.

"Hey what are you doing?" I hear a soft voice, i turn to see Solice standing there, her short hair, barely tied to the back, there are some strands falling down her slim face.

"Oh i wanted to bathe." I say.

Solice nods her head, she then turns around and begins to walk away.

"I dont know how to call him." I say. Solice turns and smiles.

"Just feel it." Solice says with a smile. As if trying to call me silly.

"I dont know how to."

"Think of him, and ask him to come to you." Solice says. "Close your eyes."

I do as she says, and think of Othniel, i see his beautiful face, and the way his eyes almost hide behind his furrowed eyebrows. I beg him to come to me. I take a deep breath, and hear the wings.

Othniel hovers in front of me, there's a sadden expression in his eyes.

"What is it?" Othniel says in between his teeth. He doesn't look at me at all.

"I wanted to bathe, i would have asked someone else but i know that would have gone wrong." I say.

"I am just going to head back to, over there." Solice says, stading there awkardly. "Yeah ill head over there."

Solice almost runs, I dont blame her, the tension between me and Othniel could slice this floating piece of land.

Othniel stares after Solice, he then looks down at me, he sighs and gets closer to me. Stretching his arms out. I grab his arm and my mark heats up. I try to ignore the pain, and let Othniel carry me. I close my eyes and feel my hair come alive on its own as we decend down to the bathing pool.

I then hear the shrieks. I finally open my eyes, to see the mermaids gushing, looking at us.

"My oh my!" I hear Sienna.

"Look at you two!" Rain shrieks.

"Oh I bet he was fun, huh Athena!" Luz says. The other mermaids begin to laugh and shriek among themselves.

I dont say anything but i feel my cheeks grow hot.

"I knew it was going to happen sooner." Sienna smiles.

Othniel lands and puts me down.

"Sorry ladies, but nothing has happened yet." I say. Othniel flies off with out saying a word, the girls stare at me as i walk to the other side of the hidden pool. They all begin to whisper among themselves. Wondering what was going on.

I quietly get undressed and get inside the pool. I dip myself inside the water, and try to relax, letting all of that tension out. I just wish i had my hot shower, i really need that.

"Athena?" I hear my name being called. I sigh and look over, Rain is poking her head around the rocks. "Are you ok?"

"Yes." I lie.

"Whats going on?" Rain asks.

"What do you mean?" I ask her.

"I mean, why do you keep hurting him?" Rain asks.

"Hurting who?"

"Othniel." Rain says.

"I dont understand what you mean."

"What i exacly said, you are hurting him, Othniel, each time you push him away it hurts him, emotionally and physically." Rain says. "You didnt see what we saw."

"What did you see?" I ask her.

"Hello ladies." I jump dipping myself more in the water, Wyvern was talking to the mermaids, inches from me and i was naked.

"Hi Wyvern!" The girls shriek.

"You barely come around anymore." I hear Sienna flirt.

"Yeah you barely come and see us."

I look at Rain and raise my eyebrows, scared. She nods and leaves.

"Wyvern! What are you doing here?" Rain asks.

"I came here to bathe, and to look at you beautiful girls." Wyvern flirts back.

"You cant!" Rain shouts.

"Why not?" Wyvern asks.

"Yeah." Luz laughs. "Why not?" What the hell is she doing?

"Get in!"

"Yes get in!" I can hear the playfulness in their voice, something that is making my skin crawl in anger.

What the hell are they doing? I need to get out of here. Ugh.

I stand up covering myself, i try to gather up my things, grabbing the cloth but dropping it in the water and getting them wet, well s**t! I try to make a run for it but i am caught.

"Athena?" Wyvern says. I hear the girls snickering and whispering, I look at Rain who is frowning at the others, Luz and Sienna are holding each other as they look around.

"Wyvern! Get out of here!" I shout. A loud thud makes me jump.

"What the hell are you doing?" Othniel's menacing voice booms. I grab the already wet clothes and try to put them on hurriedly.

"I am sorry i didn't know." Wyvern says, Wyvern has his hands up, staring at Othniel. I manage to put the cloths around me as best as i could. "The mermaids."

The mermaids begin to shriek and jump inside the water. I finally manage to get out and run over to Othniel, i don't want him to kill Wyvern. I put my hand on Othniel's arm, pushing away the burning feeling on my arm.

"Othniel come on, lets go." I say. Othniel never takes his eyes away from Wyvern as he wraps his arms around me and lifts me up. I look down at Wyvern who looks hurt. His eyes from up here looking glossed over.

I look up at, at Othniel whose eyes are full of rage and fury. I feel panic, why is he furious?

Othniel lands on the floating piece of land, putting me down, he turns around, his eyes still angry.

"Where are you going?" I ask him, feeling scared, not that he might hurt me, but that he might hurt Wyvern. I have no feelings for Wyvern, but he was my first friend here, and i dont want to be the responsible one if anything where to happen to him.

Othniel keeps walking ready to spread his wings but i grab his strong arm. He pulls them away from me, anger filled in his eyes.

"Stop!" I yell. "Othniel stop, look at me." Oh great i am a pick me girl now.

I jump in front of him, meters from the edge, one wrong move and i could fall. I grab his arm and hold on to them. He tries to move my hands away from him.

"Let go, and go home." Othniel sneers. He tries to push me away but i keep holding on.

"No!" I yell. "I am not letting you go, and we have to find answers, so no! Either we do this together, or ill find my way in that horrible forest."

"You wouldn't last a minute in there." Othniel growls, something i felt coming within him, making me tremble.

"Then that means you'll come with me?" I am breathing hard at this time, as i am trying to make him stay with me, and not attack Wyvern, it wasn't his fault, it was the mermaids fault. What the hell where they trying to do?

Othniel's eyes are still filled with rage, but something else was happening, i have seen that look before, right before he attacked me. I feel my heart speeding up. Othniel must be angry that another man was close to me, while i was naked.

"Othniel?" I say, panic in my voice. f**k what do i do? I take a deep breath and stand on my tippy toes, trying to wrap my arms around his neck i pull him towards me, and kiss him deeply, Othniel wraps his arms around me pulling me into his hard body, he walks backward as he kissed me. Hopefully this will help.

I kiss him deeply, i put my hands on the back of his head, my fingers threading through his hair. My arm feels cool.

"Take us some place private." I say in between kisses. But like Solice taught me, i will it inside of me. He spreads his wings open, still holding me to him, his lips dancing with mine, and takes in deep in the forest, close to his home, there's no one around, just the sound of the forest. He kisses me deeply with want and need. His hands holding me tighter to him, not wanting to let go, he is a tall man, and heavy but i manage to get us against a tree. I break free and kiss his neck, the scent of ashes and woods hit me, i could smell pinewoods. I kiss him there and hear him moan, his breathing is getting faster and faster.

he tries to kiss me again but i am kissing his chest, my hands shaking i reach for his large hard manhood. He gasps, as i stroke him. Kissing his hardened abdomen i pull out his large c**k, and stroke it, looking into his eyes, his mouth open as his face turned from anger to full pleasure.

He stares deeply into his eyes. He is confused when i put his c**k in my mouth, yet doesnt stop me as i lick every inch of him. He grunts as i pump my mouth trying to take him in. He tries to pull me up, but i smack his hand away as i suck him into my mouth. My left hand firmly grabs the rest of his c**k, the part i cant get into my mouth and rhythmically i stroke as i take him in my mouth. He begins to moan. His head dropping back.

I guess he has never had head before. I keep going more and more, until i feel his hot seed enter my mouth, Othniel grunts and moans as every drop enters my mouth. Once he is finished and calmed i spit it out on the ground. I stand up and look at him, his lips are still parted.

"What was that?" Othniel asks.

"You were starting to lose control, so i managed to stop you from doing something you might regret." I say. Othniel's eyes widen, he looks down at me.

"I want to do the same for you." He says, as his lips near mine.
