CHAPTER 6: NICHOLAS

“I dream about flying a lot,” the girl muttered sleepily.

I looked at her with my eyes, instead of with my mind, and was quite surprised that she’d spoken, because she shouldn’t have been able to. I’d compelled her to sleep, and every creature I had ever compelled to do anything, had always obeyed. Her eyes began fluttering, trying to open and stay that way. When they did, she turned her head to face me. Her mouth opened, and I expected nothing less than an earth shattering scream. Instead, she said, “I have to pee. Where’s your bathroom?”

I just pointed. The only door in my suite belonged to the bathroom. My bedroom just had a partition wall. She sat up on the couch for just a second, before standing up and wobbling her way to it. The door closed, and I just sat there in my chair, waiting to see what she would do next. In answer to my question, I heard her flush, wash her hands, open the door, and watched her walk directly back to me. She took my hand in hers, and pulled me back to the couch, where she lay back down across me as she had been. She looked up at me with an innocence I hadn’t seen in forever, and said, “Tell me more.” Without even knowing, she’d thoroughly amazed me.

There’s something very different about this girl. There’s no way she should have been able to do that. When I tell an animal to sleep, it sleeps.

She never takes the time to do anything right. I’m pretty sure that that’s why Gaia made her the goddess of the moon. There’s not much up there to screw up.

“Selene can be a real bitch. I’m sure that’s why Gaia didn’t take her along to wherever it was that she went, to ‘do it all over again’. Selene absolutely won’t listen. Although I was given dominion over Earth and all of its inhabitants, Selene is my equal, so I’m supposed to leave her alone when she visits. After transporting here to Earth, her body hungers greatly for blood, which is normal for a goddess. She feeds it, as she should, but she will not kill. Just before her victim dies, (usually a human) she seals the bite wound shut, and walks away. The poor creature lies wherever she dropped it, almost dead and almost bloodless. That causes the creature’s organs to shut down, one at a time, finishing with its heart, since the saliva that she used to seal up the bite made it through the jugular vein to it first. From there, it’s a race. If enough of the genes from her saliva make it to
