A Mourning Tongue
IRON’S POVI proceeded to slip out of the Organization unnoticed. I didn’t want anyone to know that I was leaving for an hour or two.Things were really difficult and intense now, and they could easily get triggered, but then I met one of the Titans, weeping profusely in a hidden corner.“What are you doing here?” I asked him worriedly. “I did leave a firm instruction that no one is to be alone,” I reminded him.He was younger than most of the Titans, and probably weaker, and as such, he shouldn’t even be seen alone for a second, and yet, here he was.“I am not afraid of dying,” he said.Even though he was sobbing, his tone was firm and adamant, and I realized that he was not afraid.“Why then are you here, sobbing and alone?” I asked him.“The only person that cared about me in this entire Organization has been murdered,” he said as he continued sobbing. “He wasn’t anyone important, but he took care of me and looked after me. Life is just going to be worthless without him,” he added.
Ridiculous!
ATHENA’S POVNesse stubbornly worked late into the night, and she only closed when it was close to midnight, and after several cups of coffee.“I have told you that you don’t have to wait until I leave before you do,” Nesse said when she came out and saw me at my desk.She wasn’t a woman who appreciated anything that was done for her. I already knew this about her, and so it didn’t faze me. I wasn’t even seeking her gratitude…as long as she didn’t fire me or prevent me from watching over her.“You should have closed and gone home along with the others,” she added tightly.“Who would have served your coffees?” I asked her, teasing lightly as I also packed up my bag.That was almost crossing a line with Nesse, because she didn’t make or take jokes, but much to my surprise, she didn’t flare up.She didn’t crack a smile either.I hadn’t met a woman who didn’t know smiles and laughter until I began to work for Nesse, and it made me wonder what it would feel like to have her laugh deeply.E
To Keep The Decree
IRON’S POVI decided to watch over Jane because I just didn’t want Blake to do it.There was a lot of tension in the Organization now, especially after the announcement was made, and knowing that Blake would like to train, I took it upon myself to keep watch over her. Besides, I already vowed to Hera that I would keep Jane safe.It was my responsibility.More than that, I had to start preparing for the fact that after the combat, I would have just one of them alive in the Organization. When I even asked Blake not to bother with watching over her, he hadn’t budged.“Are you okay, Jane?” I asked her when I entered her room to tell her good night.Even though Jane was blind and very young, she barely slept. Mostly, she spent most of the early hours of the night to practice more on her guitar; Blake and the other Titan who was killed confirmed it to me, so I didn’t bother her until I stopped hearing her play.“Yes, I am,” Jane answered. “Just about to lay down,” she said.“And sleep?” I a
Best Interruption
JULES’S POVI couldn’t sleep, and my bedroom didn’t seem conducive enough for me anymore.Nothing had gone as planned.Just when I thought that I was close to getting what I had always wanted, something else came and snatched it away from me.“How do I handle this?” I continued to ask myself.That was the only question that plagued my mind, and when my phone rang and I saw that it was Nesse, I knew that she had found out.“The bloody doctor,” I grumbled bitterly before picking up the call.“You had the nerve to visit my doctor and try to steal information about me, didn’t you?” Nesse said as soon as the call connected.“What are you talking about?” I asked her firmly, trying to pretend even though I knew that I had already been caught.“Don’t be dumb, Jules,” Nesse snarled.I was almost stunned to speechlessness.“I am still your mother, Nesse. Have some goddamn respect!” I bellowed at her, but Nesse scoffed over the phone.“You were never a mother to me, Jules, and since you have cho
Inexplainable Joy
NESSE’S POV“Good morning, Nesse,” Athena greeted the moment I got to work, rising to her feet.“Get my cup of coffee immediately,” I told her.“I already had it ready, Nesse,” Athena responded, showing me the cup of coffee that I hadn’t even realized that she was holding.“Fantastic,” I said.I went to my office and Athena followed me.As soon as I settled into my chair, I took the coffee and consumed every single drop.“Ugh, how I couldn’t wait to get this,” I muttered to myself, but somehow, Athena heard it.Or maybe I just didn’t know that I was loud enough.“I would have thought that you also had coffee at home before coming here,” Athena said.She seemed to be surprised that I was this thirsty for some coffee, seeing how I drank everything at once.“And another cup in the car, five minutes away from my company, but it is never enough,” I responded.“We would need to restock, Nesse. I doubt I would be able to make any more coffees for you after today,” Athena told me.“Go ahead a
Substitute
HADE’S POVBy mid morning, I decided to leave the Organization to see him; it was important. As the hours ticked by, I got closer to the combat.“I am not worried or afraid. Blake is nothing compared to the power I possess,” I assured myself.All through the night, and even in my sleep, I repeated the exact same words, trying to convince myself otherwise, but by morning, when I still felt a certain way, I decided to go and see him.He was not a Seer and he certainly couldn’t predict who would win; even though I already assured myself that I would kill Blake with ease and cut his head off, but he could get me something that would make things a little faster and easier.This wasn’t about power anymore.“I must win.”There were too many things at stake if I didn’t. There was no way I wouldn’t, but then again, if anything happened and things didn’t go my way, even in death, I would feel the humiliation, and I couldn’t stand it.When I got to the part of the Organization where I usually sl
Collective Inheritance
JULES’S POV“This is all your fault!” I barked at Arthur.In the blink of an eye, I was right in front of him and hitting his chest with annoyance, but Arthur didn’t let me assault him for too long as he held my hand tightly.Too tightly, in fact.“Stop this right now, Jules,” Arthur warned me.Brandon was still in the living room, seated with the lawsuit in his hand, and ever since I heard it, I had been erratic.“Let go of me!” I demanded as the pain from Arthur’s hold was beginning to sink into my bones.Arthur pushed me away from him, and I staggered backwards, almost hitting my back against the wall, but I was able to stabilize myself.“Then keep your hands off me,” Arthur snarled. “No woman has ever laid hands on me, and you will not be the first,” he added.I glared at him, all the hatred I had begun to feel towards him rushing through my veins and stopping at my eyes, and I wanted Arthur to see it. I wanted him to know how much I had come to hate him.I never loved him.I was
No Longer Trustworthy
IRON’S POV“Why did you let Hades out after the firm instruction I gave you?” I asked the three Titans I placed by the wall of the Organization where I knew Hades often slipped out.They stood before me, trembling.“He overpowered us,” one of them responded with quivering lips.It wasn’t impossible, but I didn’t expect that they would act that way.“And none of you could come to me immediately?” I asked them, deeply upset that they had disappointed me.“You asked us not to walk alone in the Organization, Lord Dante,” the second one responded. “If one of us had come to you while the other two tried to hold him back, it would have been violating your order,” he added.He wasn’t wrong and using my words against me in a crucial time such as this was very humbling and infuriating at the same time.“I would have thought that you all would be more strategic, but I was obviously wrong,” I snarled at them. “What then is the essence of the training that you have been receiving?” I asked in anno
Getting Him Back
HADES’ POVThere was no way I was going to allow Iron to call it off now that I was certain who victory belonged to. Besides, I was already sick of seeing Blake and having to endure his presence in the Organization.There was no better time to permanently get rid of him than now.“Are you sure, Hades?” Iron asked me.It was unlike Iron to be developing cold feet, and I knew that he wasn’t considering calling it off because of me. He didn’t want Blake, his most beloved Titan, to die.“I am very sure, Lord Dante,” I told him without fear or hesitation.I could still feel the container of what he gave me inside my cloth, and I couldn’t wait to get to the privacy of my room to apply it on my bladed fingers. As much as I wanted to make Blake suffer for all that he had cost me these past couple of months, killing him swiftly was the only way out.The advantage of it was that the other Titans would reverence me more.They would think that I had an unstopped and unmatched power, and the resp
Caring Too Much
NESSE’S POVAthena and I worked for the rest of the day, but I noticed that as the day drew to a close, she became increasingly moody.I started noticing it hours ago, which was unlike me because I really didn’t give a damn about anyone, and that was why when I did, I didn’t say anything about it.However, I was barely able to ignore it any longer.“Nesse, I have a request to make,” she told me.Oh well, maybe she was going to talk about it before I asked, and that was even better for me, because the last thing I wanted was for Athena to ever think that I cared about her.“Deep down, Nesse, you know that you have come to care,” a tiny stubborn voice in my head told me, but I shoved it off stubbornly as well.No, I didn’t.Nesse didn’t give a shit about anyone; not even the disease that was growing inside of me increasingly, and certainly not Athena. The only reason why my heart was thinking that I was beginning to care was because Athena was getting closer than anyone else I had ever
