Chapter 96 Shakti - The Dark side is kind of nice
“Daimon, listen to me. You above all else are about order and what is right and what is wrong. You can’t tell me that Nix being born didn’t piss you off. Why her, why Athena and Helios why did they get given the gift of not only being fated mates but to bare an offspring that all other gods and goddesses are not allowed to have. They took everything from us they told us that we were the best that we were the strongest and for what to lock us in a realm that our possible mate couldn’t enter then they gave us false feelings only to make us stuck running on the small rotating wheel never going anywhere just constantly repeating what they want us too. So yes, I changed, and I became resentful, I became bitter but what no one asked if I was ok. No one asked if I was happy. Archon was happy doing the same thing day in day out he loved Nix when she was born and all of you doted on her like she was the special being that was going to save us from the end of the world. When it was her that ended out world. Don’t you find that hypocritical? What would you have done? I hated the idea when Phoebe first came to me. But the more I watched you all fawn over an abomination the more the idea grew on me” Shakti mutters.
“So, what, you turned your back on all of us. Did it happen one by one or was it like a one for all and an all for one type of deal? I mean you use to babysit Nix, and you never showed any negative feelings towards her. You never gave us a reason to doubt you or wonder what you might plan or had planned behind our backs. I think what hurts most as that we all felt destroyed when you were taken but that was all part of the plan wasn’t it? It was all to make us think that there was no way that you could have been in on it. Even Phoebe never gave away that you were in fact part of the problem. So really, I think that you did extremely well but that also makes me hate you even more as you did this to us. You broke us, it wasn’t enough that you had a hand in killing Helios, but you also killed Aibelle and Athena.” Daimon growls.
“But it was killing Athena that made us start to doubt you. Though Hekate thought something was wrong back when they went to fight at the boarders. You were the one that actually killed London pretending to be a guard. Hekate was running checks, when she said that something felt off, she went to find out what it was. As soon as she found out she told me and then went the heavenly realm to see how far your poison went.” Archon growls as he comes walking into the room.
“What are you that surprised? I hated you Archon, but you didn’t seem to care.” Shakti growls back as she glares at Archon.
“Your right I didn’t and still don’t care. The only thing I care about is making sure that each and all live up to what they are meant to do. You being apart of that doesn’t necessarily need to keep happening because at the end of the day we were fine while you were gone and we will be fine long after you are gone so I hope being on the dark side was fun, because now that you bent the rules and keep in mind you are a part of the cosmic’s means that we need to rewrite the balance which means this is going to be fun for all of us moving forward” Archon says as he walks back out of the cave.
“What? Archon seriously after all we have been through you are going to stand there and not do a thing to help me. You can be the one that lessens the sentence I don’t deserve to die here I am better than this. I don’t deserve to die here” Shakti screams out as Archon continues to walk away not once stopping to looking back.
“I guess you made your bed and now it’s time that you pay the price” Daimon says as he slightly bounces on his feet.
“Its you now made your bed and its yours, you idiot” Shakti mutters as she glares at Daimon.
“What? That isn’t the saying, you silly woman. But I can see how you get it wrong” Tennessee says as he struts into the room.
“The saying for you tragically minded idiots is” Tennessee pauses for dramatic effects. “Its your bed so sleep” Tennessee finishes as he puffs up his chest.
“YOU IDIOT” Tito barks as he comes into the room
“The saying is if you make a bed its yours” Tito says shaking his head and glaring at Tennessee like he was an embarrassment that he didn’t want near him.
“OH MY GOD” London mutters “That isn’t the saying at all its ‘we have made our bed. Now we have to sleep in it” London growls as she walks forward and smack Tito and Tennessee up the back of the head.
“Well at least we have the saying right, right?” Tennessee grumbles as he looks at everyone sheepishly.
“Your embarrassing” London mutters
“Yes, Tennessee you are completely embarrassing” Tito agrees while shaking his head.
“What? You got it wrong also” Tennessee grumbles back at Tito.
“Well, I don’t remember that” Tito replies with a straight face.
“So, what are we going to do? I mean are we going to do the blending? To find out how far her betrayal goes” London asks
“Y..yes” Nix says as she mind links everyone as she walks into the room
“But it is dangerous” Tito mutters out.
“So? Life is dangerous” Tennessee says before quickly ducking left and right as rocks fly at his head.
“What? What did I do now” Tennessee growls out.
“Nix and Hennessy are the one that are going to do the blending, and you just reply life is dangerous” London growls out as she continues to glare at Tennessee.
“Well firstly it is, and secondly I am fairly certain that Hennessy and Nix are badass and that she will get through this just fine” Tennessee says.
“T..thank you” Nix responds through mind link. “But I will make her pay for what she has done”
“Yeah princess, you and what army” Shakti mutters as she looks at Nix. No one notices that Shakti shrinks back slightly.
