Welcome to Gaia! ::

Apollo glances up towards the mortal, at first just shrugging it off. He sat beside Diana, gazing at his sister as he heard Endymion's search go on. It was when Dymion started to get scared that Apollo stood up. He glances around, not remembering seeing the cat all day.
One of his hands rests of Dymion's shoulder, "I'm sure she's here somewhere, where else could she be...?" Even as he spoke the words, he began to get scared as well. He knew that cat meant everything to Endymion and Apollo had even started getting attached to the protective little black cat. He starts looking as well, checking all the rooms of the suite, everywhere. He asks Endymion softly, "She couldn't have gotten out could she...? I mean... Even so, she loves you to death. She'd come back... I'm sure she's fine...."

Apollo tried his hardest to affirm Dymion that Serene was just fine, but it became increasingly hard. The pizza boy came just as Endymion fell asleep and Apollo sighs softly, knowing the boy needed energy, but rest was second on the priority list. He takes the pizza to the kitchen area and returns with a blanket from the bedroom. He gently removes Dymion's boots with care and then covers his slender young form with the blanket, tucking it up near his chin. He sighs slowly, noting just how angelic the mortal looked in sleep.
His observations were suddenly disturbed by a soft mew. He turns, expecting to find Serene, but all he saw was the young goddess sitting up, bewildered. Apollo's eyes widen, "Diana!?" He was at her side in less than a second, but once he got there, he looked awkwardly for what to do. He didn't know if his sister was still mad at him, or if she even remembered him, or anything... But she gave no sign, just sitting there, staring at Endymion. Apollo tilts his head, "Diana...?" He looks around the room for the cat, not seeing her. His then timid eyes turn back to Diana, whispering, "You can't be..." He plops on the couch beside her in total amazement. Was Serene Diana in the form of a cat the whole time. He could have sworn he heard his sister meow...

Apollo didn't know what to do. This all felt like a really really twisted dream that he wanted OUT of. He glances to Hermes before standing up. He takes a few steps towards the chair, then stops. His intention had been to wake up Endymion... Now he was second guessing himself.... What if it was too much for Endymion to handle right now? He needed sleep, that was for sure, and once he woke, Apollo would see to it that the boy got himself some food... And Diana?
He picks up a small glass mirror from a table nearby and kneels beside Diana. Hesitant, he reaches p and stroke her hair like he would a cat. He thought she could at least understnad that, "Di-... Serene?" He makes sure to catch her attention, trying not to scare her, "Serene... we've spoken before... You know more than most cats do... I want you to look into this mirror and tell me what you see..." He holds up the mirror for her, explaining softly, "That is you... You are a hu-... a goddess.... Serene...."

Apollo quickly puts the mirror down, shoving it in the opposite direction, "Shhhhh... It's ok... Calm down..." He sighs, trying to think of phrases that the cat would understand, would comprehend. He stays where he is, not wanting to upset her anymore, "Serene.... I don't know why you are this now.... Do you know what happened?... Endymion has been worried..."

Apollo watches Diana/Serene now curiously, still feeling the surreal presence coming off in waves. It was strange, she was his sister, every quality physically, she was Diana. And yet she was meowing, hissing, clawing. He smiles a small bit, extending a hand to her, "I can help you... if you need it... Endymion ordered you tuna... But there is also human food... um... something called pizza...? It's up to you" He takes a small step towards her, then stops, knowing it probably wasn't the best idea to upset her.
He didn't know whether or not to wake Endymion up. This was huge. He could have never expected this to happen... But Endymion did need sleep desperately. He decided to give him a few more hours unless he woke on his own, or if he had nightmares... He goes into the kitchenette to grab the pizza box and the plate of tuna, placing them on the small table nearest to Diana/Serene.

Apollo glances up, gazing at Serene, then to Endymion. He sighs and stands up, "I suppose I should wake him, he would probably be mad that I didn't wake him when you first got up, Serene...." He glances to the body of his sister, gulping at the large knot in his throat. The cat was in the body of his sister, but where was his sister. It pained him to think that she could have... no, he wouldn't think on that.
He slowly stesp to Endymion's side, kneeling beside the chair and gazing at the sleeping mortal. He finally lifts a hand that runs through the hair of the sleeping angel before it strokes down the boy's cheek and forehead. he says softly, "Endymion.... Endymion... Wake up... I, uh... I found Serene..."

Apollo knew Endymion would be surprised but... He says quickly, "Shhh... Endymion, that's not my sister... You'll scare Serene..." He rushes over, gently taking Serene's wrists in his hands to hold her back, knowing the reaction wouldn't be good. He tries desperately to calm her, knowing she never liked to be held. He says in a slow voice, "Endymion wants no touch now, Dymion wants to be alone...." He sighs and lets go, knowing what would happen would play out no matter what measures he took. He kneels beside Dymion, touching the back of his head, "Hey... it's all right.... somehow your cat is in Diana's body, but the cat.... she can't comprehend being human... Are you ok...? I didn't think you'd freak out that badly..."

Apollo slowly sits back on his heels, his face sobering to a look of complete apathy, "I don't have the slightest clue, Endymion...." He gazes oover at the body of his sister. Even with a cat in the body, she was still glaring at him like the many times those silver eyes had before. He had wanted so badly to find his sister, and now he had, "All I know is that my sister is a cat..." He could feel bile rising in his throat and swallowed back hard, his spirit giving way.
Nothing. He felt there was nothing left. He had spent so long searching out his sister's presence, wanting so badly to make peace with the one who knew him best. And now here she was, with no memory but still such avid hatred in her eyes. Even once she forgot about all that happened, she could still not let go of that hatred. Apollo stands, "I'll be right back..." He quickly walks out of the apartment, needing so air. He returns to the roof, where the snow had stopped falling long ago, still showing the imprint of where his sister's body had been laying. He lights a cigarette with shaky hands, trying his hardest not to wretch and hoping to Zeus that Endymion wouldn't see him like this.
