The Lust for Power: Chapter 12

I couldn’t sleep, knowing my mother can attack us in any moment during the night., but my body keep telling me to. I’m tiered and I can’t do much tomorrow if I don’t sleep right now.

I dream about Josh. His body tied in silver ropes and a black gag in his mouth. He’s asleep for now. I sighed at least his not dead.

“Checking out your boyfriend?”Nyx looked at me her face emotionless.

“Mom, Why are you doing this? To overthrow Zeus from his throne? You’re already powerful afraid of you what else do you want?” She laughs.

“You want to know why? I’m the strongest god more powerful than the titans, but am I the queen of gods? No.Those granddaughter and grandsons of Gaea don’t deserve to rule! Look what happened to earth, polluted so polluted that the stars in the sky aren’t always visible. When I became the Queen of Gods, I’m going to kill every human on earth except to those who are royal to me. So daughter join me and I will not lay a single hand on your boyfriend.”

She does have a very big point, except for killing the humans part. May be if I join her and persuade her not to kill the humans everything will be alright. No, it isn’t right to over throw Zeus, a lot of demigods will rebel then a war will start. No. No.

“Do you think after you kidnapped my boyfriend, tried to kill me not once but thrice I’ll ever join you? After you gave me this curse? No. I will never ever join you no matter what!”

“Is that your decision my daughter? Well then enjoy your nightmare.” The last thing I ever heard was her laugh before my nightmare began.

My nightmare starts with Mikmak, Adam, Evan, Demtra and Josh fighting with me side by side until Demetra stab Mikmak in the back, while Adam continuesly torture Evan. Josh was occupied fighting with Nyx.I don’t know what to do. If I help Evan, Mikmak will die while Josh start to fade away due to Nyx’s attacks.

“Kari help!”Mikmak cried. I started running towards her direction but I stopped dead on my tracks when Evan cried with pain.

“AH!!!!Kari help me!!!”I looked at them both not sure who to help. I started crying. I’m useless, I can’t save even one of them.

“Is that all you can do? Cry?” I look beside me, and saw Apollo the god of Music, Poetry and The Sun.

“Kari you have to remember, hold on to hope even though there seems to be no other way. I know I shouldn’t be the one talking about hope but remember. If there’s hope there’s a way. Now wake up from this stupid nightmare.”
