Cuwen {{Woah! I missed a lot! Great job in posting everyone, and thanks for including the new RPer in the story!! biggrin Let's continue to do that.}} Ever had no idea of the horrors that were happening around her. She was busy talking with her friend as Kilala traversed the area. She was also blushing slightly. "Uh, the other bruises? You saw those?" She laughed nervously and she instinctively placed one over hands over her neck where one of the 'bruises' were. "Well, uh, they are compliments of Ares, but it's not at all what you think! He didn't hurt me, or at least, not in the way you are thinking." Before she could finish what she was going to say, she sighed and looked down for a moment at the ground moving past them. "It doesn't much matter now anyway, though. Ares and I are taking a break for right now. Neither of us is ready for a relationship. It's not really anyone's fault. It's just the way things are right now. There's always the future, of course. I'm hoping to be with him again later. Since we gods have nothing but time, though, I actually think I'll be okay with waiting." She laughed softly and looked up at her friend, trying her best to smile. ((Yup lol and No way, Neo, catch up and jump back in > Akira frowned lightly and flipped around on Kilala's back, so she was now facing Evermore. "Well, i saw glimpse since your hair was in the way a lot, so i figured they were bruises..." she explained, gently moving the Fury's hand and inspecting her neck. "Oh, they're hickeys!! That's a relief! You really gotta stop getting beat up, missy!!!" she exclaimed, smiling at her best friend, but then lightly traced one of the hand-prints on Ever's cheek. "Well, ok...If that's what you think is best for both of you...But Ever, did Ares slap you? Cuz if he did..." she growled softly, already plotting devious plans to get back at the War God. Kilala said nothing, troubled by the feelings of dread and sadness she was picking up from her master, focused, then realized with a sigh what was the matter: time. Even though Akira was a half demon and would age slower and live much longer than a Human, she would still die eventually and Ever...Wouldn't.

Ever's eyes were wide and she was quickly shaking her head. "Oh, no!! No, he would never do that, Akira. I forgot that you didn't see Aphrodite do this even though she did it practically in front of everyone. I'm sorry. Aphrodite did this, though I did egg her on pretty badly."
She sighed and caught her up on everything that had happened last night at the party, including Aphrodite and Ares' dancing and kiss and her and Ares' discussion.
When she was done, she was lying backward on Kilala's back and looking up at the sky.
Raven, however, was sticking her head out of Kilala's fur at every little bump they hit along the road. It was the only way she could get out of the fur enough to say anything, so her words were broken and mumbled in places.
"Aphrodite did what?! I wait until... she is going to PAAAAY... She has always been so nice to we fairies and spirits... Knew Ares.... no good!"

{{Is Rrine seeing a hallucination? Evermore's on the back of Kilala with Akira, still running to where Kilala senses Ari. They're still trying to save her.}}

Anita woke up with a jolt, her heart racing and breathing heavy. Her hands were clammy and a cold sweat dripped down the back of her neck, which she slowly realized was very sore.
"Ow... What the hell?" As she came to, Anita noticed she'd fallen asleep on a bench, her notebook clutched to her chest and bookbag wrapped at her ankle. Her breathing sped up. "Not again," she muttered, unwrapping the strap of her bag and throwing it over one shoulder. "Please, not again." She ran back into the school and made her way through the halls, not sure what time/day of the week it was. She was prone to falling asleep for days without so much as being tired, but hadn't had an episode in almost 6 months; who knew what she'd missed as far as classes. Had no one seen her? Noticed she was there? She stopped at a staircase, dropped to her knees and clutched her stomach, which began to gurgle angrily. "Ohhh."

Aphrodite took Sam’s hand. ”I need your light in the darkness,” she said simply. Turning around, she wiggled the fingers on a perfectly manicured hand. A pink mist fit her hand like a glove, and then dissipated. Her hand appeared normal, save for her index finger which had became a lovely, glossy black. As she moved her hand, grey mist trailed from it. Reaching high above her head, Aphrodite drew a straight, vertical line in the air, trailing her finger until she touched the carpet. The line hung in the air, and then split open like an ugly scar.
Through the vortex, one could see a dank cave. Aphrodite stepped through, pulling Sam with her. She looked over her shoulder, and the rip was closing. The hallway behind them disappeared altogether, and they were alone. Hades should have sensed them enter, and if not him, that dreadful brat Persephone. ”Sammy, darling,” Aphrodite said sweetly, ”Welcome to the Underworld.”

Cuwen Ever's eyes were wide and she was quickly shaking her head. "Oh, no!! No, he would never do that, Akira. I forgot that you didn't see Aphrodite do this even though she did it practically in front of everyone. I'm sorry. Aphrodite did this, though I did egg her on pretty badly." She sighed and caught her up on everything that had happened last night at the party, including Aphrodite and Ares' dancing and kiss and her and Ares' discussion.

"Aphrodite did what?! I wait until... she is going to PAAAAY... She has always been so nice to we fairies and spirits... Knew Ares.... no good!"((Ya sorry, and they'll return soon, no worries, this is just gonna take a bit of time...And Laura, they're flying, no bumps in the road, since it's aiirr XP Kilala's just running, but touching nothing, it's just the way she flies.)) Akira sighed in relief, grateful that Ares hadn't given her any reasons to hate his Godish guts. "Nope, didn't see. You two were behind the group and everybody was focusing on Nessa, so that's probably why nobody noticed...Plus, i was out of it." she explained, then listened to what Evermore had too say. Afterwards, she took a deep breath and said, feeling guilty, "I'm sorry...I was starring at them the whole time and it didn't even click in my head...Nothing was." taking more deep breaths, she continued, locking eyes with Evermore, "Instead of explaining since i honestly can't phrase what happened...I'm going to show you what happened last night at the dance and then i'll explain why i reacted like that, ok?" without waiting for an answer, she started softly chanting a spell her adoptive father had taught her long ago: the spell of memories. Touching the Fury's forehead lightly with the tip of her finger, Akira closed her eyes and continued to chant, the events of last night pouring into Evermore's mind vividly. Yet Evermore, in the memory, was literally in Akira's shoes, A.K.A in Akira's body. The young Fury was feeling all the rush of Akira's emotions when Dean appeared behind her, wrapped an arm around her waist when she froze, and the dread and vulnerableness she'd felt at his deadly words, then the anger, the will for revenge, the victorious slap...and then, the confusion and nothingness...Once the memory ended, Akira let her lightly shaking hand drop, taking more deep breaths to steady herself. Showing Evermore that hadn't been the hard part by far; it was telling her what had happened two years ago that was going to be hell. Kilala didn't interrupt them, but slowed down, noticing that Altan and Aurora had returned to the school and Ari's faint scent...It was now lased with...Death.

In the Underworld, Aphrodite and Sam would have been able to hear cackling around them. It seemed to echo all around them.
A few minutes later, a few black ribbons appeared in front of them and then five Furies stood before the ladies. Alecto was standing at the front and she was smirking at Aphrodite. As usual, they were all wearing red pieces of cloth around their chests and arms, and a red sarong was tied to their waists.
"Well well well. How odd it is to see The Goddess of Love down here in Hades. Not exactly a fitting place for her."
The Furies behind Alecto cackled.

{{She's physically running, but they're in the air?}}
Ever gasped when she saw an image explode into her mind. Then, behind her eyelids, the image began to come alive and she found herself looking through her best friend's eyes. She knew she was her best friend right now because she had caught a glimpse of herself in a nearby mirror on the wall.
Ever had never felt so frightened before in her life, not even when she had been pulled down into the lake. Deep down, she had known that she could survive that since she was a goddess.
But she wasn't immortal right now. She was mortal and very vulnerable. And that man.... that jerk. How could he speak to her like that?! How could he touch her like that?! And what the hell was he talking about? What had happened before?
When the vision ended and Ever had opened her eyes, her eyes were filled with tears and she was shaking slightly. She looked at her best friend for a few moments, absorbing everything and trying to figure out what she should say, where she should begin.
Finally, she just scooted forward slightly and wrapped her arms around Akira in a tight hug. "I'm so sorry that happened to you, Akira. Don't you worry. We'll get him. I promise you that."

Aphrodite pulled Sam to her side, wrapping an arm around the girl's shoulders. "I'm glad you think so," Aphrodite said with an air of distaste, "He could do with some interior design. Precocious Persephone doesn't seem to be doing her wifely duties, does she? Anyway, I am not here for small talk. I'm here to see Hades, so if you'll excuse us!"
