Part 2 Chapter 68
Nora’s POV
Dave showed me a photo of my parents and I froze. I thought they looked weird and when Helios saw the photo and
hugged me I knew in an instant that something was wrong. Dave told me that he found them like that and that he didn’t
want to keep secrets from me.
I listened to him but I couldn’t understand what he was talking about. I tried to mindlink them but the link was silent like they were blocking me. But at the same time I just knew but I didn’t want to admit it to myself. They were my parents, the very people that made me, raised me and loved me.
And now. Now they are gone. Dead. My mom and my dad. I stared down at my hands and I felt the first tear roll down my cheek. I heard Aurelie and Lillie trying to speak with me and I think I heard Artemis as well but everything was empty.
I took a shaking breath until everything broke down as I screamed out my anguish. I felt a sharp pain in my thigh and I looked around for the source. Ares had put a syringe there and it made my entire world go white.
I woke up later in my room and I noticed that it was early in the morning. Have I been sleeping for half a day? No that can’t be right, how long was I sleeping. I move in my bed and I stand up and walk to the bathroom.
I stare at myself in the mirror. I look drugged. My skin is pale and I have dark circles under my eyes and they look sunk in.
My hair looks ugly and really, I smell like I haven’t showered in weeks.
I take off my pj and go take a hot shower when I hear the bathroom door open and the scent of both Helios and Ares fills the bathroom. I turn around at them and I am shocked as they look like hell itself. Has something bad happened since yesterday?

I finished showering and went out when Helios gave me a towel, I dried myself just to notice that I have lost weight, you can see my ribs sticking out. There is no way that I have been, sleeping for a day. I look up at them and they just watch me.
I reach out my hand to touch them just to confirm that this isn’t a dream and when I feel the tingles on my hand I sigh. It isn’t a dream, they are really here with me.
“Nora, how are you feeling?” Ares asks and I look at him.
“Hungry” I croak out, my voice is hoa rse and he nods while pouring me a glass of water.
I drink slowly as I feel like I haven’t drank anything for a while. Confused, I go inside the room to find clothes, the room is dark so I stumble around to find my closet. I step on something that cuts through my foot and I wince in pain.
The light floods the room and I must blink several times before see a piece of wood sticking up through my foot. Helios takes me in his arms and puts me down at the bed, Ares comes over and he shifts before he takes the wood out and licks the wound on my foot. I can tell that I am not healing properly.
Пlook up as he shifts back and I gasp as I look around in my
room. everything in here is trashed. Like someone has
attacked every piece of furniture and there are holes in the walls and claw marks on the floor.
Was this my doing?
“What happened?” I ask them and both of them look away from me.
“I will have someone to clean this room up” Helios says but I shake my head and step down onto the floor.
“Did I do this?” I ask them but they don’t say anything so instead I walk into the closet just to find all my clothes shredded into small pieces. What in the world happened here.
Then I feel it, my neck stings and I touch it just to flinch. I tried to look at the mirror there but it was also shattered. So I ran to the bathroom and both guys followed me. I stare at the marks on my neck. These aren’t made from needles. I feel through the bond and yes, they have marked me.
“What happened?” I ask them as I can see them in the mirror.
“A lot has happened since that day, Nora,” Ares says and I can see now that both of them have lost weight.
“Tell me, please. Help me understand” I plead with them.
“Let’s go down to the dining room, you need to eat” Helios says and holds out a dress for me.
I take the dress and put it on me, it is a bit big but I don’t care about that right now.
We walk through the castle and it’s deadly quiet here and even the air feels cold. Something is definitely wrong.
