The God And His Bride - Episode 31

 

*I'm sorry I posted the last episode as chapter 29 instead of 30, so this one is 31, thank you*

"What? What's going on?" I ask when the rage finally clears from my vision, what was that? Why did I get so angry? 

My eyes settle on Mila and I see how pale she looks, I immediately rip myself from Alixi's hands. 

Moving towards her and crouching in front of her. 

" What happened?" 

"That's called a summon Sona, only the blessed of the gods can do it" Alixi says and my eyes leave mila to send him a questioning look. 

"I don't understand, I hurt... I hurt my friend" My voice breaks and my eyes go back to Mila to stroke her hair. 

Jeter looks pale too but okay, what is wrong with me?Why did I get so angry? 

"I suspect Sona, that it wasn't you, someone, something is manipulating your emotions, making you angry, extremely so" He says and its obvious he does not like that thought. 

"Alixi.. . Are you sure?" Mila asks, sounding scared, as if the thought that I might be manipulated is too much to bear. 

I'm scared too, I don't want to hurt anyone. 

"But they can't do that, if she has been marked by a God, they can't, that can't possibly risk their life" Jeter says. 

"Didn't stop you" Mila mutters, steadily regaining her colour, I help her to her feet. 

"Alixi?" Mila asks again and he looks to her. 

"It's war Milo" He says calmly, quietly, deadly. 

"War? Why war? Which war?" I breath, what is he talking about? 

"You must understand Star, you are taken, none other can intrude, not physically, not emotionally, not by manipulating you either." Mila says but I still don't understand. 

"But why war?" 

"He's the god of gods , he has to make a statement, one person already intruded, the others might think he's being too lax" Mila responds softly 

"But war?" I ask just as softly.

"That's the way of the gods Star" Mila says and I can't wrap my head around it. 

A hand grabs at my elbow and I turn to see Jeter there. 

"Are you okay?" He asks softly and I shake my head. 

"I'm sorry you are going through a tough time, baby girl" He says and I nod, his hands brushes my hair off my head and I still when I feel the anger rolling off a corner of the room. 

I step back, away from Jeter's touch as Mila's hand goes to my hand to pull me away. 

"Jeter stop" Mila scolds and he frowns, his face contorting with rage. 

"Why can't I touch what's mine" He asks and I feel Alixi move. 

"Yours?" Alixi asks all deadly like. 

"Mine" Jeter replies. 

"Stop" I say quietly when I feel that things are gonna escalate soon. 

Jeter backs off and I get the feeling that the only reason Alixi is not tipping off his head is because of the fact that I'm here. 

My heart melts and his eyes come to me, all dark like. 

Stupid mind reading jerk. 

He smirks and I look away. 

"I'm going to bed" I say. 

"Come, let me take you back home" Alixi says and I step back. 

"Uh, no, that disappearing and appearing stuff makes me nauseous" 

"I will not like you to throw up over me" 

"I'm spending the night then, I will find my way home tomorrow" 

"You are sleeping with me" Alixi says, with finality. 

"Uh, you think? This is my home, she sleeps with me, she is my girlfriend" 

I roll my eyes at the testosterone level in the room. 

I'm tired, wondering wist war meant and the fact there's someone out there who's playing my emotions like a puppet. 

"I'm sleeping with Mila , and that's final" I say, pulling Mila after me, I know my way around Jeter's home so I man us direct to the master bedroom, the moment we clear the door Mila speaks.

"You have to choose Star" Mila says. 

"What?" 

"Yes star, you have to choose between them" 

"Why is there choosing involved? Isn't it a given that I'm with Jeter?" 

"No, it isn't, you were with Alixi long before you met Jeter, you just didn't know" 

"Can we not talk about this?" I say, whipping back the bed sheet to get on the bed. 

"You can't avoid this for long Star" she says and the words of the woman earlier comes to me. 

Why do I have to choose. And really who do I choose? Is there even a given that I must choose? 

I lie back on the bed as I feel Mila get in with me. 

I don't say anything, just get lost in my thoughts and after a while I feel her drift, I do too. 

The explosion brings me awake very fast,. 

What was that? Why is there fire and smoke? 

"Stay away from her!" Mila is shouting at someone and I turn, groggily to see her shielding me from whoever blew open a wall. 

Wings were everywhere, I could count at least 4 of them. 

What's going on? 

"Step away Milo" The guy from earlier, the Golden one says and I shudder.

In the dark with him in all his dark glory, he looks scary. 

"Mila, what's happening?" 

Before I complete my statement, Mila is thrown against a wall by unseen hands and I hear the shattering of bones as she whimpers. 

"Alixi!" I scream at the top of my lungs, I wonder vaguely what happened and why he wasn't coming to save me just as I feel the blow to my head. 

I slip into  unconciousness as I feel my body moving.
