10: Quest for My Flute V: Follow me
"Huh?"
The young lady was confused as she looked up at Ares. "Are you referring to me?"
"Of course it's you" Ares Causally replied " You'll not be going anywhere. But you'll be coming with me"
The fear in her eyes were vivid. She had instantly began having multiple negative worries running through her head!
Who wouldn't have? An unknown Immortal wanted to take her away!
Ares looked at the rest of the slaves who were all in shabby rags. They all looked like a dirty mess "You all should get going now unless I change my mind"
Immediately, they all rushed off. Running for their dear life with The young lady staying there In shock.
She couldn't tell what was happening as she looked at Ares "But, Master I'm grateful that you took interest in me but please can I..."
"Took interest in you?" Ares glared at her.. His cold eyes devouring her and sending chills down her spine.
"...."
She didn't dare say a word again!
"If you wish to talk some more then I might as well kill you off here and send you to the afterlife to talk some more. Deal?" He said.
"Oh no no.." The young lady shocked her head "it's okey "
"Follow me already. I don't have any time to waste" He said as he turned and walked off.
The young lady had no other alternative but to follow him. He was an Immortal after all and she didn't seem to know what he was up to.
So it was better to follow him obediently other than playing smart.
She walked behind him as both of them walked through the street.
The mortals around were standing by the side of the street, staring at them as they passed by.
Some already had theories and gossips to share regarding the issue.
The Immortal had found a bride!
That was probably the theme!
*****
The young lady had obediently followed Ares behind without questioning him or saying anything. But within she was worried about herself.
She couldn't think of any reason why he had called for her. She was merely a slave mortal. What possibly could he need her for?!
Their journey ahead was a quiet one. And before long they had arrived at a distance street side.
It was merely a lonely street side with little or no person strolling through the area. It seemed like a deserted place to start with.
Ares had suddenly come to an abrupt stop at the street as he looked around.. There were few men passing by.
They were middle aged men who had goods with which they were delivering to a certain place.
Ares quietly stood there, staring at them from The side of their eyes. As well as the young lady, she was also looking towards their direction.
And when those middle aged men had walked pass, Ares stretched out his hands..Neon had fallen off to the ground as he stared at it.
"Wow..Is that your pet fox?" The young lady had quickly Marveled at the sight of the pretty looking fox.
Stunned, Ares looked at The young lady "Can you see it?"
No mortal could see Neon, and Ares simply couldn't believe that this lady could effortlessly see it!
"Oh, yeah. Of course I can see It. it's right there" She pointed to the fox on the ground
Neon looked up at the lady and blinked..Then it looked at Ares as they spoke with their minds.
"How can she possibly see you? Isn't she Just a mortal?!" Ares asked Neon.
"Yes, she is..And she's not supposed to see me. But like you said that you felt your flute in her, so it's possible that she could do so because of it." Neon explained.
"Jeez, I guess I'll have to act fast and get rid of her before it gets worse"
Ares said as he turned to look at the young lady. He had both hands behind him.
"I need to take something from you, After that you can leave. so follow me now" He didn't say much as he turned and walked off..
The Young lady stood there, skeptical for a while "Then I can leave? Sounds good enough but, What does he want to take from me? I don't think I have something an Immortal would want!"
Thoughts instantly began running through her head. "What if it's my life? My Youth? What?"
She was already panicked up, thinking of What it could be.
"If you don't hurry up, then I'll kill you there" Ares threatened
"Oh! Coming!"
She had no alternative but to go with him. All she could do was hope for the best
The young lady had followed Ares and Neon into a shabby looking store room. And as she as she entered, Ares waved his hands in the air.
The doors automatically were shut close.
The young lady gasped as she looked back at the closed door.
Unable to think of what could possibly happened, she slowly looked at Ares who had both hands behind him.
"In order to take back what's mine from you, it's only logical that you'd die"
The young lady gasped at the words coming from his mouth..She Knew this wasn't going to be as Easy as it seemed.
"What do you mean?" She Asked as she slowly drew back "Why do I have to die..?"
Ares smirked as she slowly approached her "What I mean is simply.. You'll have do die here. And why you'll die? also simple. So I can take what's mine"
