Chapter Twenty Four.
( Luna's pov)
Something was happening today . I knew it from noises I heard. From the thumping of shoes on the marble floor . I was too weak to even say a word or even to take my head up to find out what was happening.
No one came around anymore. It's been days , I didn't know how many days actually . Cat and Shelby had disappeared . After that one day of them being in here with me , I realized I was really fed up with staying alone , having no one to talk to really drived me crazy to the point that I wished at some point that Cat and Shelby would come and bicker at each other , at least that was better than staying inside this glass box, completely deaf to the world .
This is far worse than I thought.
But today something was happening and my assumption was proofed correct when I heard the opening of the glass box .
" Untie her ! " Someone commanded , no not someone , Cat.
My hands were clamped above my head for days that I forgot they even existed , now that they were loosed free from the chains , the pain came crashing down a million times harder than the first day it was chained . I could feel the pain while at the same time I felt extremely numb , it was a feeling of a numb pain . I couldn't even mutter a word , as I was hauled into the shoulders of someone I couldn't even recognize .
" Look who is strong and mighty now " I heard Cat say letting out an hysterical laughter .
I was taken out of that box , finally , although the air was not as fresh as the one outside of wherever we were , I was still glad I could breath something much better .
I could feel and hear my stomach growl , I had not eaten anything since I was brought in hear , just undergoing series of multiple tests . It was a big surprise to me that I was still alive .
I couldn't see where we were going but I knew it was somewhere sacred or may I say important because the farther we went the more silent it became . I couldn't hear people talking anymore , there were no more thumbing sounds , no smells of sterile water, chemicals or drugs , the perfect filling of her research hospital room , that place I was before , was something like that .
My hair was sprawled out , covering my face , my stomach couldn't take it anymore as it was pressed hard into the strong shoulders of the guard or whatever , it growled louder and I grunted and groaned in pain , I stirred a little , trying so hard to get down , but my effort made absolutely no difference , this guy was strong and I think what I was doing was probably just a tickle to him.
" She is becoming unsteady " the guy spoke with a deep baritone that vibrated his chest causing my stomach to growl more , I wish I could tell my stomach to shut up already , he was definitely strong .
" Just let her be , she won't die , I'm telling you Chris , I've had enough of her already , If not for Shelby , I swear I would have knocked her out the other day , she's lucky the queen needs her , I had to take the responsibility of bringing her to the queen because I know Shelby would be too soft on her " Cat snapped .
We reached a door and Cat went typing in the password of the door after which I heard a clicking sound and then the door remotely sliding open .
I was dropped on the floor like a sag of potato , woah this people really wanted me to die already , the room I was brought into was eerily white , so white that it was blinding . I shut my eyes in repulsion , my hair was sprawled all over my face , I used my hands to lean up but failed as I collapsed again to the floor breathing hard.
Few seconds later I felt a hand tugging my hair behind my ears , allowing me to see more clearly , it was Shelby , she gave me a bottle of water , which I hurriedly drank without hesitation . I probably looked like a feral being with the way I was sucking the life out of the bottle . My stomach growled loudly and more aggressively , I felt the pile rising up my throat , oh no , I was to ....
Vomit.. vomit ... Vomit..
I must have stained the floor of wherever this white sterile place was , but when I opened my , Shelby had kept a bowl for me and that was where my whole mess went in , my throat felt so sore , infact it was burning . Although the water could not stay in , I had gathered a little strength from tasting water .
I slowly sat up as I took in my environment , okay for starters, I was definitely in a white spooky room , more like a throne room , because above me was a throne , a very clean white throne decorated with pearls and adorned with flowers , it was nothing like I imagined Rhea's throne to be . I expected something more evil and spooky like in the movies , the villian always prefers the dark lands , somewhere out of civilization , somewhere filled with human skulls and gross hideout for rats .
But , no , Rhea's was completely different , infact the only colour I saw since I came to this place was white .
" Now I see , you've known my place "
A voice spoke and I raised my head to see , sitting on the throne , Rhea herself , brown hair pulled up in nicely adorned bun , green eyes as Sharp as I saw it in Hadrian's past , she wore a white shirt that ran along to white leather pants and perfectly fitted for her legs were white heeled boots .
She sat crossed leg on her throne sit , I looked at her and wondered why her soul wasn't as beautiful as she was .
" It's a nice place " I retorted sarcastically ,
" Oh no , you don't have to be nice , I know you hate it here , so much that you're ready to do anything to go away " ,
" You know me so well , it's no wonder you want me for a meal " I blurted letting out a sarcastic chuckle
" Not for a meal actually " she articulated getting up from her throne and walking down the stairs of her throne , " more like for company , you see , it gets really lonely here , Cat and Shelby are too busy getting all science around me , Chris here , lets just say , he's not a caregiver , So yes , you're for company , a very meaningful "
" Yeah , a company that is beaten and starved for days , I see the meaning here " I said grimly,
" Let's get to the business of today , shall we ?" She said , standing in front of me , as she leaned towards me grabbing my chin in a very harsh manner .
" Killing me ?" I asked , I've had enough of this game already,
" Not so fast , I want you to meet someone first , someone you would really want to see " she blurted smiling mischievously , who was she talking about ?, Was it Hadrian ?,
She shook her head , raising a finger and shaking it in a no - no manner,
" Oh no , not Hadrian dear , as much as I would like to see that idiot of a son , it's not him " , hearing her address Hadrian that way made me snap ,
" He's your son for goodness sake , don't call him such names " I snapped ,
" I see what this is about , you love him don't you ? , Glad he got to have a love life , I thought the wood goddess would leave him to rot alone ..." She never finished , as I spit into her face , Cat and Chris came and hauled me up harshly by my shoulder ,
" You are a very annoying bitch , you know that right ? , well I hope the day you do , it's too late " I spat , well that was not such a good idea because I was backhanded. So hard that my tooth felt the vehement impact of the slap . I spat out blood .
" You have no right to tell me who I am , you don't know what it's like to be chewed on everyday by my parents , who thought that as their first child I'm suppose to uphold the gift of the goddess , but no I came out useless , you wouldn't know what it's to grow up called useless and worthless by your parents " ,
" Well thanks to you , I don't have them here with me , neither did I grow up with them " I snapped , she walked to me again , grabbing my chin a lot harder than before , I jerked hard trying to break free, she glared at me vehemently , if looks could kill ,
" You don't have to worry about that anymore , I've got a gift for you " she mused, now laughing , okay she was definitely insane .
The door opened again , and a man was led in , dropped on the floor like I was , hands tied behind him , red hair that had grown to his waist , he raised his head up and then looked at me , his eyes abruptly grew wide with shock and as he spoke I recognized the voice as the man who spoke from the other glass , for he called out my mother's name again...
" Ani ?!"
" Now let the family reunion begin " Rhea said laughing hysterically, letting go of my chin and walking back her throne.
Family reunion?
Was this man my father ?
