Chapter Nine

Sara drove for hours, with nowhere in mind to go. Just the manic thoughts of who she supposedly was and Hermes too, made going home impossible. What would she do? Not that she really had any choice. Zeus had given his decree and she was doomed to obey.

And was Eros really her grandfather? She narrowed her eyes, thinking of a grandfather she’d never known. Would he help Zeus to ensure her future? She sighed and pulled over into a roadside parking bay. “Eros, if you can hear me, I really need your help.”

When he didn’t appear, she got out of the truck and slammed the door. She should’ve known he wouldn’t come. Why was her life always fucked up?

The thud that resembled heavy metal hitting the ground sounded behind her. Sara turned and gasped seeing a man (or a god, she should say) coming to stand behind her. The deity folded his perfectly formed crystal wings behind his back and bowed a little in welcome. “Hello Sara.”

She was speechless for a moment, at the beauty of the man before her. Any wonder he was the god of love. Not that being supposably related to him had done her any good. Maybe she’d inherited the opposite gene that made all her relationships doomed to fail. “Grandfather, what a pleasant surprise.” Her voice dripped sarcasm.

His brows rose, his eyes glistening with mirth. “You’re my granddaughter. If you call me, I will come. Always.”

Sara watched him and wondered if that were true. “I’ve only today learnt of your association with me. Is it true? Did you sleep with my grandmother?”

“I loved your grandmother, but she choose a different way of life. I had to agree to her wishes.” He walked toward her and slid a piece of hair behind her ear. “You remind me of her.” A wistful smile quirked his lips.

“Well, because of your past with my family, I’m beholden to Zeus to find you and bring you to him. He needs you for something, he wouldn’t say what, and if you don’t come, he’s threatened me with a life of despair or Tartarus.” She shut her mouth, conscious that she was babbling.

Eros’s eyes widened at the mention of the prison. “I can handle Zeus. Do not despair. Have you been summoned to Mount Olympus?”

“Not yet, but I think it’s what he intends to do. To both of us.”

“Both of us?”

She walked over to the bench and flopped down. “Hermes would be required to go as well. I think Zeus seems to be coming around to the truth that his wife is a lying bitch and his son was innocent of the crime for which he’d been banished.”

Eros joined her, watching her with an unnerving intensity. “Zeus is not one for forgiveness and he isn’t one to be trusted. If you truly wish to be free of him, we must act quickly. Are you open to suggestions?”

“Of course.”

“You’ll need to die.”

“What?” Sara stood and backed away from him. “Are you mad? How could that possibly help me?”

“Sit down, Sara I will not hurt you.
