My Mate is a Traitor

6. Meeting the old friend

Lachesis room in the Crystal Palace

…

The Hermeses memories showed me how bewitched he was seeing me for the first time and I hardly believed it. I never thought that he found me attractive or interesting because he never said anything to me before. Actually, at Clotho’s farewell party it was the first time that he talked to me. I always thought that he was one of those Gods that were finding me weird with my flaming hairs because he never paid any special attention to me. On the other side I admired him almost all my life. He was the most handsome God in the whole Mount Olympus. He was in every way just perfect, and every Goddess was dying just to be noticed by him. With his short blond curly hair and blue eyes, he met the criteria of the Gods beauty. He had perfect figure, and he knew it and liked to show it. He was almost always shirtless so each time there were some Goddesses that fainted just by looking at him. Everyone was blinded by his beauty when he showed up. Even my heart skipped a beat each time when I saw him. I heard that there were even some Gods that would do anything to have him at least for the one night because there were rumors that he was incredible lover. His reputation was almost as mine but instead of me he didn’t like to have many lovers. He carefully chose one lover and he stayed faithful, which was rare in our world. I never understood how someone could have only one lover for such a long, long time. The Gods lived in eternity and they got easily bored so I could hardly imagine having only one lover for the whole time. It was crazy but this was his choice, and everyone accepted it. For a long time, he stayed alone because the person that he wooed had married another God. If the rumors were not wrong it was Persephone. He loved her so much that after he found out that she chose to marry Hades instead of him his heart was broken. For a long time he couldn’t stand presence of any another woman around him and he stayed alone. There were many Goddesses that tried to enchant him, but he refused everyone. Till now. Nyx was the first Goddess that he chose as his lover. I still couldn’t believe that he chose Nyx. Yeah she was beautiful and amazing but I thought that he was the one that could see that she was just playing her games with others. When I saw them together, I was disappointed because I was expecting that he wouldn’t be blinded by my mother’s beauty and I was wrong. Now when I saw his feelings towards me in his memories I wasn’t sure what should I think. I was confused. My head was full of questions, and I couldn’t concentrate on my powers anymore. I had to go back and to ask him personally. But it wasn’t as easy as I thought. As soon as I wanted to open my eyes, I realized that I used almost all of my energy and my eyes didn’t listen to me at all. Even the other parts of my body were against me as well. I tried to move my hands, but they were extremly heavy.

Damn!

It was like they weighed hundreds of tons. Knowing that it would be useless to try again I gave up and I tried at least to say something. I was hoping that at least my mouth would work for me, because normally speaking wasn’t that difficult but once again I was wrong. I tried and tried but I couldn’t even open my mouth. It was like my mouth was glued together.

S…t!

I couldn’t control any part of my body!

The only thing that was still functioning as nothing happened at all was my mind. Everything else was useless. Suddenly I got the feeling that I was trapped inside my own body not knowing for how long and the worst thing was that I couldn’t do anything. This was the first time in my life that I had no control over my body, and I felt helpless and powerless.

S…t!

The reality hit me so strong that I started to breath hardly.

What would happen when someone would find me like that!? What if Nyx would be the one?

Damn!

I started to panic.

“Oh Foxy! Look at you! I told you that you should stop! You are not able to even open your eyes!” I heard Hermes said to me and suddenly knowing that he was with me I calmed down. I wasn’t alone. At least for now I wasn’t.

It was weird feeling his warm arms around me but on the same time I had the feeling that I belongs there. When his heavenly scents enclosed me, I almost lost my mind. My heart started to beat faster and I was pretty sure that he noticed it even when he said nothing.

Hold on!

He was carrying me in his arms, and I was clearly enjoying it but… damn! He was my mother’s lover!

Oh, hell no! This was wrong and sick even for me!

I should come to myself and stop enjoying the warmth of my mother’s lover!

Damn!

If my mother finds out that he was holding me like that she would definitely kill me.

Suddenly I sensed that he stopped. I was wondering what he was planning to do when he said:

“You need to rest Foxy! I know that you have now like thousands questions and I will try to answer everyone but first please try to sleep.”

He put me down and the well-known scent of magnolia surrounded me. There was only one place that had this smell and the coziness. My bed.

I was never happier being in my bed as now. Every cell of my body was thankful to him. It was amazing feeling - my bed again. I felt relaxed and soon I started to fall into the dream world. The world of my friend Morpheus, the God of Dreams.

My last thought was that I was hoping that Hermes would leave my room as soon as possible. I didn’t want that any rumors would start about us because my mother would be furious.

Somewhere in the Dream world

…

I was standing in the beautiful meadow full of various flowers enjoying the warmth of the sun rays. I looked around because I couldn’t believe that I was back. I wasn’t here for eternity. I was wondering why I ended here when I got suddenly interrupted.

“Firefly! What are you doing here? If I am not wrong I told you to never come back!” said someone angrily behind my back.

I turned around with a big smile because I knew who’s voice interrupted me so suddenly. Even when it was very long time ago I still remembered the owner.

“Yeah, I know Morpheus! I am glad to see you too, my friend! I didn’t know that I would end here but… I am glad that it happened!”

He was my best friend. My only friend that I had. We met accidentally when I was trying to master my skills. I was trying to enter Clotho’s mind when I suddenly appeared in front of him.

I was totally confused and scared. It was funny when I remembered how stupid I was. I even tried to fight with him but soon after my try I ended up totally defeated lying on the floor.

Now I know that it was stupid from me trying to fight with him in his world but in that time I didn’t have an idea where I was or who he was. He was the first God that I met and thanks to him I found out how beautiful and also scary dreaming could be. In his world I could be anyone and I could do anything and there were no consequences. The Dream world was perfect and amazing.

Soon I loved this dreaming world so much that I didn’t want to leave. I was even more in the Dream world than in the real world and my sisters got worried. But they were not the only one that were worried. When Morpheus found out that I was more in his world he told me that I should stop coming. He told me that there was a reason why the other Gods didn’t visit this place. Once the Dream world was full of Gods and Goddesses. They liked to dream and they loved this beautiful dreaming world as much as I do. Unfortunately they started to forget that they had responsibilities in the real world. They didn’t want to leave this place exactly as me. They left the real world unprotected and in chaos. This situation used the darkness and the real world was almost destroyed. When the King of Gods the powerful Zeus found out that it happened because the Gods were sleeping and enjoying the Dream world instead of taking care of the real world, he was furious and he gave the order that none of the Gods should enter the Dream world again. For a long time no one dared to enter the Dream world again. I was the first Goddess that came after the hundreds of thousands years and the history almost repeated once again. This amazing world wasn’t suitable for Gods and I wasn’t welcomed there anymore.

I was hurt hearing him to say that this amazing world wasn’t for me but I understand that he wanted just to protect me so I promised him that I would never come back. I was holding my words for almost ten thousands years. Till now.

Damn!

He didn’t changed at all. It was so good to see him once again after such a long time.

Seeing him once again I remembered how much I missed him. I didn’t care that he was angry seeing me coming here once again, I ran towards him. I thought that he would scold me but instead of scolding he hugged me so tight that I almost lost my breath and I started to laugh.
