Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ever glared at Ares. "Fine then. You're not joking. You're just adding another element to your sick game that I refuse to play any longer!"

Then, she turned to Ross again, getting a little dizzy from turning her head so often. "And so, you ARE a god, un-technically speaking?! And you didn't feel it was important to tell me this?! And what the hell is up with you two?! You're fighting more with each other than I am with Ares!"

”Sure,” he said to her. ”Whatever. I only make up a ‘whole’ God when with my brothers… and you didn’t exactly give me time to tell you anything since you threw yourself at me!” he said calmly. ”… and since your accusing me of not telling a random stranger girl ‘anything’… your φίλος* there happens to be my Father!”

**(boyfriend)

"s**t!" Ares, not even bothering to say anything, ran after Evermore. What was she thinking? The forest was almost deadly at night! "Evermore!"

Ever shook her head, tears forming in her eyes, when she heard Ares call out after her. "Leave me alone, Ares! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

She wasn't looking where she was going, her tears and emotions blinding her, and she bumped right into a tree. She didn't bump hard, but she did scrape up her forearms.

She hissed and pushed herself away from the tree. "Dammit..."

She looked down at her arms, wondering how she could have run into a tree when she was running in the opposite direction of the only tree by the lake.

Then, when she heard a distant cackling sound, Ever raised her head and found that she had run directly into the forest by Bai Ching.

"Oh.... s**t...."

Then, suddenly, Aphrodite was at her side. Finally, she just screamed. She threw her head back and screamed loudly, her three-tone octave Fury voice coming through. Several birds flew out of the tops of the trees and other animals in the distance reacted by screeching themselves.

When she was done, she threw her head back down and glared at Aphrodite. "YOU are the last person I need to see right now!"

Ares came up quickly, finding Evermore and Aphrodite. "Evermore..." he said. "Listen to me, please!" He hated how he sounded like he was begging, how he knew he was begging. It disgusted him. She wasn't facing him, and he took advantage of that, grabbing her around the waist and holding her. Mostly, it was to keep her from trying to run away.

{{What is Ross doing now? Just curious b/c he just kinda... got left behind. lol!}}

She gasped when Ares grabbed her from behind and she instantly started fighting him. She tried to get out of his embrace, but he was far too strong. It was like his arms were cement walls.

Just him touching her was making her think of how she had not only kissed Ares but his son as well. And it made her think of his betrayal, his false words and emotions to her just to entice her to find the Room and whatever was in the lake.

Aphrodite's words were all bleeding together and she couldn't make sense out of any of them, and Ares' words were like nails on a blackboard.

She screamed loudly at both of them. "Would both of you two just SHUT UP! I don't want to listen to either of you! I don't want to listen to anymore gods! You just play mind games! That's all you do!"

Ross stood stunned for a minute. Whenever mom and dad got together these days, it was never a good thing. Sighing, he jogged after Evermore. He found them easily enough... Evermore's shouting led the way.

Anger flashed through him when he saw his father holding Evermore, obviously against her will. He also heard his mother's gleeful tone. He sighed, and stood by his mother. "Ares, let her go!" he said threateningly.
