Unprecedented

Under a tree.

~Prium and Miargos~

"Why do you keep following me, Prium?"

He turned to her, breathing heavily. They both had been running through the woods since a while and he decided to take a break since he couldn't lose her. Though he had tried as much as possible to do just that.

She was seated next to him, almost brushing sides with him. Twas just too good to be true that the almighty, highly egoistic and indifferent Prium wasn't going to let go of him. Technically stalking him.

"Why do you keep running away from me? Is it because of what happened before I went to Poseidon's cave? The biting of your lips?"

He scoffed and looked away from her to the swell of the shrubs up ahead of them.

"Unbelievable. How easy it is for you to change the topic, Prium!"

He paused for a while then added,

"Maybe I should just go then."

He made to stand but she reached out her hand and held him down. He looked at her, tracing his eyes down her nose.

She grabbed his face suddenly and met his lips with hers, sucking a long drag and suddenly let go.

"Why did you do that?"

He looked up at her, his throat racing a lump to and fro.

"Because I want to stop denying the feeling."

"What feeling?"

He wasn't sure if that was right to ask, but she didn't give him a reason to regret. She placed her left palm on his right cheek and began to trace her thumb gently, up and down.

She began to tilt her head closer and closer again. He wanted so much to stop her from doing that, but even the wind seemed to be in confluence.

Her lips rested on his. Hers sucking his upper lips, while his sucking her lower. She let go again,

"This feeling."

She whispered into his face. And as though a spirit knocked him off his wits, he grabbed her face and began to ravage her lips.

He pushed her down and fell on her, his hands doing the hasty job all over her body. As his lips found the track down her neck, down her chest to her cleavages. Roughening her boobs.

Then suddenly as though the spirit let go of his wits, he quit the expedition and raised his head. His anxious eyes pacing her concerned face.

"What did Poseidon tell you?"

She sat up at that then leaned forward trying to hold his face again... to resume the expedition perhaps...

He held her hand back and maintained the stern face. He didn't seem generous enough to sustain other mood than the indifferent stare.

"Tell me, Prium. Is this all about what Poseidon told you? Though I have no idea what that is. But it must have been very refreshing for you to think that I'm very stupid. Because it's very obvious."

He paused, letting go of her hand as it dropped.

"Ever since you returned from him and gave him the heart, you changed towards me and suddenly wanted me to be by your side. Are you using me to gain what you want, Prium? I won't be mad at you. All I want is just the truth."

There was a long sheet of silence spread across the length of the forest for the first few seconds. Then she stood up and turned her back to him. She began to walk away, probably towards the ridge.

"I'm sure that's not the answer to my question, Prium."

She halted and spun around,

"What else do you want me to say? You already have the answer. Or do you want me to lie and pretend you are wrong again?"

He tossed his head aside in shock. He seemed not to be getting a grasp on the unprecedented change.

"Of course not, Prium. I just want to know what it is. What answer do I have?"

She scoffed and let out an exasperated sigh.

"Could you be any dumper, Miargos?"

She took few steps towards him,

"Okay you want to know how evil and manipulative I am? Cos I could remember vividly you saying that you were the stalker and without worth. Should I tell you how useless I feel and scared of being hated and abandoned by almost every body?!"

She paused and continued as he watched puzzled,

"Did you know how it was back when we were family... My dad, mom, Tahni and me? I bet you have no idea. I was the odd egg. Tahni was the favorite of my mom and got everything she wanted. I was loved by my father who didn't have anything to offer. But on a morning, he woke up and had forgotten everything. I thought twas a prank but later discovered that twas real as soon as he was condemned for being beheaded. He was the last resort I could ever had. Something close to a parental love."

Her voice was beginning to break,

"And after he was beheaded, I didn't know what to do with myself. And suddenly, a magic happened and he was reincarnated. My hope revived."

She started crying and suddenly started laughing. He made to move closer to her but she held up one of her hands,

"You and the rest must be very crazy to think that I really wanted to marry my father. All I wanted was not to be rejected by my own father too, after my mom. And no! Nobody wants to see my point. I was just to clingy and creepy and inconsequential. Remember, you once said that sometimes you wished my sister was the eldest. I started hating you that day."

"That day? Then how about all these while?"

She didn't reply that. She cleaned her face and sniffled,

"I won't hold back the remaining details then. When I met with Poseidon, he said having sex with you is the only way to be turned into Athena and back to myself. And that was what I had been trying to do, to wrap you around my fingers and subject you to my will."

She stopped and shot an evil smile,

"Did you know what I planned on doing in the first place? I wanted to have just the first sex with you, which would be the last time you would ever be in your right mind. Because after then, I would use the magic of being Athena to tie you to my will."

She sneered and added suddenly,

"Happy now? Now you have the details of how evil I am. Can I go now?"

She turned and began to walk away. But he ran after her and hugged her from behind, holding her tightly that no matter how hard she fought, he wouldn't let go.

"Do as you please, Prium. Do whatever you would. I must have been stupid to had misjudged your intentions from the on set. I'm totally sorry... please forgive me."

"Let go of me."

She called, keeping still and calm.

"Only after you kill me."

He argued. She began to shake herself wildly to be free of his hold. She yelled suddenly,

"Let go of me!!!!"

But instead, he spun her around to himself and locked her lips up with his, ploughing her lips with the blade of his tongue, his both hands grabbing her booties as he pressed the space between her thighs to his.

She stopped fighting and gave in.
