Blessed by Night

Chapter 140  Two Visits

Aisha said nothing as she ran her fingers through her girlfriend's new curly grey hair. It seemed like she was struggling to talk, so she just wanted to be there and listen.

"I also wanted... for them to tell me that it was okay. Calling someone mother whom my brother and I have only known for a few months is kind of..."

"Do you want to be Nyx's daughter?" Aisha asked gently. "...I think... it may be nice."

"Then you shouldn't focus on how strange something is. You're not the kind of person who gets close to people easily, so if something has drawn you in about this goddess then she must be worth embracing fully." Aisha's words seemed to resonate with Aubrey and left her with a fair amount to think about. She was now anxiously awaiting the next time that she would see Nyx in the hopes that she could sort all of these new feelings out. And maybe even her new older brother; Thanatos. -

Aubrey and Aisha went back home not long after that, but the mood wasn't as depressive as one would have thought. If anything, the girls were in a more thoughtful mood than a somber one. They held hands all the way up until they entered the front door of Aisha's mansion. "I think that I'm going to go and jump in the bath." Aubrey casually stretched her muscles and gave her girlfriend a view of her curvaceous body that was further enhanced by a blessing. Even though Aisha wasn't inexperienced by any means, every time that she looked at her girlfriend now she felt like a prepubescent boy. Dangerously horny and incredibly nervous. "I-I-I'll join you?" She stammered. Aubrey paused and looked at her girlfriend curiously. "Are you asking me or telling me?"

"B-Both?"

Aubrey wasn't oblivious to her girlfriend's new opinion on her looks, and she would be lying if she said that she didn't enjoy this new attention. "Alright then...You have to wash my back though~"

'I'll wash every damn thing you've got...'

"Are you thinking something perverted? Your face just got really red."

"N-No!"

"Liar."

Aubrey ran up the stairs while waiving over her shoulder. "I'll start the bath, okay? Don't keep me waiting~"

Aisha watched her girlfriend travel all the way up the stairs before her bottom left her vision, and a small trail of blood ran down her nose.

One wouldn't expect someone blessed by Aphrodite to be so easily charmed by another person, but even the divinity of the most famous goddess of beauty was no match for the natural charm of the Saint siblings. "Aren't you two just adorable!"

The hairs on the back of Aisha's neck stood up and she immediately reached inside of her storage ring and pulled out an enormous scythe that was larger than her own body. Whirling around, she found an uninvited guest standing in the parlor of her home, a cheerful smile on his face. "Now, I must admit that I am rather touched. It has been so long since I have been truly moved by the love of a-"

"What the hell are you doing here, Arias?" The leader of The New Day seemed unbothered with Aisha's hostility and held up his hands in a nonthreatening manner. "I really just came to talk, dearie. Why the sudden hostility?"

"You broke into my house, dick biscuit! Were you expecting to be met with a fucking cocktail!?"

"...Do you have any-"

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE!?"

Arias winced as he plugged his ears from the unexpected screaming of the white haired girl. "Geez, the pipes on this one... I just came for a simple follow up conversation, kiddo. "

Arias started circling the young girl like a lion stalking his prey, and yet his bright smile never left his face. "I'm curious, Aisha. I had thought for sure that you would have been one of the first ones to join in the bringing of the new era, and yet you stand on the wrong side. Why might that be?"

"Do I seem like some kind of bigot to you!? Why the hell would I have an interest in ruling over any humans?"

"Well...You certainly seem like the kind of person who has no interest in the current status quo."

Even though she was one of the most famous women in the world, Aisha had a terrible reputation in the media. Her dislike of taking photographs with anyone other than small children had caused the world to label her a diva who thought she was too good for others. She didn't do commercials, toy deals, sponsorships or anything else that would have helped to improve her image. As a result the way the world saw her just became worse and worse overtime. And Aisha liked to pretend that she was immune to it, but sometimes the things that people said really got to her. "I hate all of you... none of you know me, yet you act like you're in some higher place to make assumptions about the contents of my character... You're all the fucking sam-"

"Watch it."

Faster than Aisha's eyes could follow, Arias appeared beside her with a blade of light pointed between her eyes. "I will tolerate a lot of abuse, you know? But you will not compare me to those filthy humans for even a single second. Such disrespect is egregious enough for me to claim your life."

Arias put a way his shining weapon and gave the young girl a distasteful look.

"This conversation has become unpleasant for me, so I'll be taking my leave. Should I see you again, your head is going to roll. Alongside those humans that you seem to be oh-so fond of."

Just as he claimed, Arias disappeared from Aisha's home in a golden flash of light and left her standing there frozen. It had been a full five minutes after he left when Aisha's knees finally gave out from underneath her and she collapsed onto the floor. For the second time in her life, she had faced certain death that she had no way to escape from. She didn't know why Arias had chosen not to kill her but if he had... there would have been nothing that she could have done about it. It was just as terrifying as it was the first time it happened. It had been years since she'd had her last panic attack, but once that feeling of difficulty breathing set in and she had a familiar pain in her chest, she knew exactly what was happening. She was so out of it, she didn't even hear the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs and a familiar presence inching closer. A faint echoing in her ears was all that she could pick up on, and she assumed that someone was trying to call her name. A blurry figure suddenly came into vision. She was more beautiful than an angel, with long and curly grey hair that touched the floor and a sinful body wrapped in a white towel. Despite the feelings that this girl elicited from her, it did very little to repair her fractured mental state. She wasn't sure how long she remained on the floor for, but she knew that she was starting to come to when the echoes started getting louder. "..sh."

"A..ha" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Aisha!"
