My Olympian Friends

Sofia's POV

My long hair was brushed by Hestia who kept fussing over it. Demetria was adjusting the cushions around me especially under my foot. Hades did a good job on it even though I couldn't help blushing as he kept touching my skin. I can't explain it but everytime he does this strange tingling sensation zips through me. As for Poseidon, well his sisters had to push him out because he kept hovering over me. Jeez, it was overwhelming. Then a servant places a bowl of fruits filled with different varieties. I cock my head in question the servant smiles sheepishly.

Servant: "My lord, Poseidon, sent these for you. Since we do not know which ones you prefer so to speak."

Demetria: "That brother of mine, its not like everyday he gets to woo a pretty girl. You can leave, boy."

The boy bows while retreats I smile softly at him which causes the boy to stumble a bit blushing before running off.

Demetria:(Coughs lightly)"Well, it seems not only a few men but even my sister seems smitten by you on your first day. Does this happen to you always?"

At that I simply shook my head, Hestia was staring at me her hazel eyes gleaming.

Hestia: "I can't help it, her hair is soft like silk & her eyes. They are unique almost like smoked mirrors. I always thought our brother, Hades's eyes were different."

Demetria:(Waves her hand)"If you say so, we should head over to Zeus now. In the meantime you should rest, little one. If you need anything just pull the rope near you. Let's go, sister."

Hestia waves as they leave, jeez I wonder was she a lesbian? Sighing, I try to relax despite being in a new place in another time & century. I pretty much figured that part out though, which means that the time-machine works. I was eating some fruits trying to analyze my current situation. Then I began to feel this odd sensation of being watched. A creepy chuckle made me jolt over to see a guy, who was leaning against the wall. He seems about my height, he had long dark hair, smooth skin yet his demeanor was off.

Stranger: "So, you are the one who has caused quite a stir in one day."(He comes closer, eyeing me from head to toe)"The name is Jericho, the King's main man. Hmm, you are pretty for a petty human who has landed here in that strange contraption."

I look about me because I did not like his presence, my throat was closing up. Before I could reach the rope he caught my hands in his, pulling them over my head, ugh. I gasp as he was practically on top of me, straddling my body. His hot breath was near my face & I was about to have a panic attack.

Jericho:(Sneers)"You can easily fool them with your innocence act but not me, you bitch. I know your type, once I get through with you."(I screamed as he rips off my dress)"Hold still & let me enjoy myself."

I try to wriggle myself free then he grips my chin, I cringe as he buries his face in my neck. Then I kneed him hard where his sun won't shine. He grunts next thing I feel a sting on my jaw where he hit me hard. Falling off the bed I try to scramble away despite my injured foot.

Jericho: "You, filthy wench, I shall make you pay."

I screamed as he stomps on my injured foot, he grabbed my hair & slaps me again. He pins me down again, his hands were around my throat. I couldn't breathe as I try to fight back, choking, I feel my eyes rolling back, almost giving up. A few minutes later I hear garbled loud voices. Gasping, I look about me, seeing Jericho against the wall. Panicking, I curl up in a ball, rocking back & forth. I could hear another voice of the man arguing with Jericho. A few people have gathered about but I was too afraid to even look. I flinch as a warm hand touches my shoulder. My eyes widened as I see that it was Zeus, his expression seem different than earlier.

Zeus: "Don't be afraid, little one, I apologize for my foster brother's behavior."

Jericho: "Stay away from that witch, Zeus. No telling what type of black magic she can use. She lured me with her black magic, an enchantress...!"

SMACK! The sound startles me, I peek discreetly through my hair. He was holding his jaw, his face was livid with hatred & anger as he glares at Demetria. Then they began arguing in their language, I was still trembling by Jericho's assault. Then Hades walks in, his eyes widen in shock as he comes closer to me. His glowing blue eyes became even brighter as Zeus spoke to him in Greek. As if telling him about what happened to me & sure enough as he turned to glare at Jericho who visibly flinched. I almost squeal as Zeus's muscular arms lifts me in bridal style. I blush furiously letting my hair hide my face. Someone places a cloth around my torn dress as Hades tends to my foot again. It had turned into an ugly purplish bruise because that psycho had stepped on it. I could hear Poseidon & Demetria arguing a little distance away with Hera. Hestia tried to feed me some kind of a medicine, it had an unpleasant smell making my nose wrinkle. Then a soft chuckle alarms me as I feel warm fingers brush my cheek, pulling my hair back. I gape staring into his blue eyes filled with mischief, Zeus. I thought that he had left, he brought the medicine near my lips.

Zeus: "Drink this, little one, you will get better soon."

Then I look at Hades who was looking at me endearingly, so in a daze I swallow the bitter medicine hoping not to gag, yuck. Before I knew I felt weightless just as my eyes closed to sleep. I managed to recover after a week, Poseidon & Hestia kept me company. Hades comes to check my foot which was gradually healing. He would insist that I should walk which I did as he stayed with me. He kept asking me about the time-machine, like an adorable science geek he would listen earnestly. As for being interrogated by them, well I wasn't used to the attention yet I face the Greeks. But I felt comfortable what with Hades, Demetria, Poseidon & Hestia being there. Hera looking down her nose at me as I narrated them about my world to them. Zeus asked me some questions about the 21st century. Of course not forgetting about Jericho being there who kept glaring at me. Like mine his bruise had also pretty much healed. It took me some time to adjust to their ways, Hades & Demetria were helpful. Poseidon was charming & flirting with me which sometimes amuses me. Hestia was sweet, Hera as usual treated me as an inferior being. I also met Aphrodite of course, Aries, Athena, Apollo & many more popular ones. I was still a bit uneasy being in the presence of Zeus, I even though he was the younger brother but most intimidating. Plus he was every girls dream hunk, he was tall like his brothers but more muscular. He had long blond hair, tanned muscular build & striking blue eyes. He was also arrogant & full of himself at times. If my stepsister, Tanya were here no doubt that she would've been drooling all over him by now. Ugh! I stayed there for about 2 years or so, not for enjoyment though just enough time to fix the time-machine. Believe it or not but Hades also helped me, he examined each & everything with a twinkle in his eyes. I laugh enjoying his curiosity & patiently answered his every questions. Hades was a quick learner. He was as tall as Zeus but slightly muscular, dusky skin & brilliant mind also he is handsome. Poseidon loves the ocean what being the God of the seas. He lavished me with many exotic gifts to woo me. But I know that I'm not upto his standards. He is sexy, with brown hair, sea-green eyes & a charming personality to boot. But he is an immortal, they all are. It broke my heart when as gently as possible I had rejected his proposal. Even though I told him that we can remain friends which I could tell this wasn't what he had in mind. Yet staying there I also discovered about their upcoming war with the Titans. Meaning with Cronus & Rhea, their biological parents.
