Chapter 292: Interference (4)

Perseus POV

"Dawn! Where do you keep the chips?" A voice called out from the kitchen

"It should be atop the fridge." Dawn replied.

"Alright, thanks."

"Why the hell is she here?!"

"Don't worry, she can't see you, besides, she lived close by and hasn't contacted me in quite a while."

And sure enough, I can see Meira walking out of the kitchen holding a plate of cookies and a glass of milk while placing it on the table in front of me before pointing towards my chair.

"So this ghost, can I see him too?" she asked

"Hell no."

"Well, I didn't even get the chance to ask for you." Dawn asked, "He said no."

"Hoh, no way, it's Uncle Perry, isn't it?" Meira exclaimed

"For my own personal curiosity, why would it be him?"

"He was always a weirdo, and made a move toward one of my friends and got jailed for murder, maybe he redeemed himself in hell and is now ashamed to face a living family member of his."

Yes, I dated a weirdo, what's wrong with that? Cuz I'm also a weirdo, not a lot of people will accept me for who I am, alright? Don't give me that look, I don't need your pity.

But despite becoming a mother, you'd think she lost a bit of her quirkiness, but yet, here I am, listening to her rant about how fucked up her family is, where the ones who are the sanest were her, her parents and her younger brother, Miguel.

"So, I can't see him?" Meira still asked.

"Well, maybe if you keep going, he might, he's very weak to pressure as he's also very socially awkward, and he acts very outgoing, but if you outdo it, he'll crumble into an awkward silent mess," Dawn replied.

"Damn you. I know how persistent and stubborn that woman is, and I will crumble, but warn her beforehand, she might not like who she'll see."

Dawn then turned to Meira and told her to sit down while giving her some caution, and repeated what I said about her might not like what she sees and it definitely wasn't her creepy uncle, but...another 'weird womanizer'.

"Ok, so what do I need to do?" Meira asked, "And I swear to be as respectful as possible since I wasn't supposed to interfere with your weird goddess and ghost ritual thing."

Dawn open up her palm and she used magic to form this small pill of fiery light and told Meira to consume it. Meira did and once she looked in my direction.

"Oh..." she gasped and used her hands to cover her mouth in shock.

"Hey, you look well."

"Uh...ah...I don't....are you here to haunt people due to your wrongful death? Do you want...revenge?"

"Oh, I do, just well, haunting someone is a petty way to do things, I'd rather do it with my own personal hands. Maybe drink their blood and feast on their flesh, who knows, I might enjoy it."

"Oh stop it, you're scaring the poor girl." Dawn chimed in and turned to Meira, "Do you still want to continue? I still have time to wipe your memories of this."

"No, I rather...aye, my head is hurting, milady, do your healing thing and make me feel better, don't use that to wipe my brain please."

"Well, back to our topic, I need advice, the war needs to end quickly and I have no idea what to do, I can stop it, but the war will be back eventually, and leaving Phineas alive would only be a thorn in my side, he's in his prime, while I am not. I also need to send the children back quickly before I come here."

"Right, the problem with your children, you still haven't sent them back?" Dawn asked.

"No, I have them here to help me out for a bit longer, apparently I till got time, but they are too kind for their own good."

"Well, they must be raised by great parents."

"Which is why I need your advice on how to handle them, I am physically exhausted and eventually, it'll affect my mental health."

"Ghosts can have children?" Meira asked, "And is there some war in heaven?"

"Oh, you're way better off not knowing the truth, but me first, that's why I'm here."

Ruka POV

"I can smell Meira on him." Leilah said while staring into the room of Rylee and Nyra.

It's about 3 in the morning and we've been up all night just talking. Perseus escaped to sleep with his parents for tonight and his little brother and the fox joined them, Rylee and Nyra didn't mind since they wish Perseus would do that more often since he usually tries to distance himself.

"I smell mother on him, but he was to meet her, but why is that bitch there?" Leilah mumbled.

"Why are you worried?" Maple asked, "She looks a bit old, doesn't she? He may like older women, but that doesn't mean he likes old women."

"It's not him I worry about, what if she still finds him attractive, he's too good-looking for his own good. And with our products and medicine, he'll retain his youth for the rest of his life, even though I'm confident that our looks are better than any mortal, there's no stopping them from going on the aggressive side like Lilith."

"It's not like he cares, right?" I joined in as well, "I mean, he doesn't even mind when I go on dates with other men."

"That's because he knows that you'll fail, you're a weirdo by regular mortal standards, and even if you meet someone who likes to pursue you, good looks and a weird personality would only attract other weirdos, who you will reject." Lilith answered, "Quite a smart guy because Perseus is a good-looking guy while also sharing a weird personality, he's like your perfect match."

That's the problem, why is he smart when it comes to things like these? The good guys usually never contact me back for some reason, and those who do are the weirdos. At this point, the only guy who can fit my criteria is Perseus, damn it, he's supposed to be the last guy on my list.
