Take away [open]

[Deleted]

It had been a long day, though to say that it was long was an understatement. Charlie had just been up to the principia, mostly it was to turn in her resignation. She was resigning as the centurion of first cohort. If you had told her that she would be resiging, she probably would have hit you around the head and told you were a moron. She thought that her life would be the legion. She would always be in the legion, she was a daughter of war. But she had been looking at some classes at the university, but the biggest reason, well it was growing inside her at the moment. It had been quite a long road and it had it's ups and downs, but she and Mors were quite happy together. She wrapped her hands around her midsection as if she was protecting it. Charlie really never thought that this day would come. But it had, she sat there on the deeply green grass. She had many other things to think about right now and the biggest and smallest thing ended with her. She knew there had been others that had become parents, like Clare. She had the cutest little girl in the world. What kind of mother would she be? The thought totally scared her.

It was cold, well, cool-ish. She had remembered times like this when it was in North Carolina, it was much colder most of the time. But even though the water was cool and it was warmer, she still stuck her toes in the water. Her jeans rolled up around her ankles and her boots and socks sitting to the side as she had felt the cold water as she leaned back. But she had a home in New Rome to go back to. It was such a strange thing, going to a home, her home. The home that belonged to her and Mors. Well at least it would be his home as long as he wanted it to. It was odd for her, that she had been in a barracks for so long, around so many people, and now the house was quiet. It wouldn't be that way for long, that was for sure. She took in a deep breath, she had to get some books. She loved books. There were a thousand and one things that she needed to know, that she wanted to know. She didn't want to be that crazy mom who couldn't cook. Or the one that ordered take away ever night.

Take away. That sounded good. What kind of take away was the real question. There were so many shops and resturants that had popped up in New Rome and she hadn't even had a chance to figure out which one was her favorite. She did like that shop that the boy from fifth cohort was working, the little coffee shop and bakery. They had the best pasteries. Maybe she'd go there and get a box of something and bring it back. Not to mention that the house was still a bit barren. Not that she didn't have the ability, but it was just her. There were like four boxes of cereal and two gallons of milk. It wasn't exactly a balanced diet, but she was just one person, it seemed that having a full pantry or fridge was a waste of money. That's why Take away was such a god send.

Feeling the cool grass under her bare feet was relaxing, she needed to relax, to think what she was doing with her life, what was what she really wanted or even liked. She knew that she was condamned already, no matter what she did in the years to come, she knew she would never spend her eternity afterlife with those that she loved. Gods she wouldn’t even be with Ben, he believed in other God, so maybe he wouldn’t end up in the same underworld that she would… or maybe he would? But She was going to spend her eternity being punished for what she had done… and probably will keep doing.

Evelyn was holding her sandals in a hand and was just roaming around. She was thinking about the contracts that she still had, killing those rogue demigods that were using their powers in the human world, in an evil way. Pretty much what she did before when she was in the government, with two major differences, now she got paid for it and Liam wasn’t there with her. She wouldn’t ask to him to go back to that life, he seemed to be so happy in this world away from all the blood and the personal regrets. She sighed and looked around, she saw some shy flowers, shy because of the weather, so why wouldn’t she help them a bit?

The flowers bloomed around her and in several direction by the lake. She smiled and chuckled, it was good to see that she still could do beautiful things that weren’t exactly related to blood and murders. Suddenly she saw a blond woman, curly, long blond hair… she walked closer and she realized who it was. The woman that her father loved, Charlotte. She was happy that her father felt the joy of love once more, that he was willing to try again. And she really hoped that this time he had a child that wouldn’t disgrace his good name. “Hello…” she said shyly and softly smiled. She didn’t know how would she be welcomed, after all she was still known as a traitor, a bloody murderer that kidnapped the three big kids and delivered them to the government, all of them but Gabriel.
