Musings of Felicity

[Deleted]

A Release

Basically, I had muse and Felicity had pent up emotions that just needed to come out. We've probably all been there. When we just have so much on our mind and all we need is a good cry before we're fine again. That basically is what happens here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

While everyone else in the little town in the France were resting a certain daughter of Pluto was running through the woods nearby, scratched and bruised. She had been on the run for a good hour. Camping out had been a bad idea. Especially alone. Discordia had immortal business to take care of and Felicity was adamant that she could take of herself. That was until her sleep was disturbed from a friendly monster visit, thus leading to her running.

Felicity leaned against a tree as she gripped her side, her lung harboring a stitch from the strain and her muscles sore and out of breath. She looked around and saw a light in the distance. Shelter. If she could get there fast enough- Her train of thought was cut short by the roar of the Chimera on her tail. That beast had already attacked her enough. She had snake bites all over her arms and some of her legs thanks to its tail and had parts of her clothes burned as well as some of her skin. She couldn't help but flinch at the roar of it. She would have shadow traveled out of there but now but the snake must have had a form of venom in it. She was too weak. She felt like she was going to drop at any moment. Felicity pushed herself off of the tree and dashed as fast as she could to the building, opening the thick doors, that were surprisingly unlocked and shutting them behind her, going deep into the entrance, holding her breath. Maybe it would just go away. Leave her alone. Could it open doors? Maybe burn them down.

Felicity stumbled a bit and caught hold of a bench type of thing. She looked at in confusion. The room had many of them. Was this? She turned to the front which only made her dizzy and as she fell to the floor the last thing she saw a statue of the mother Mary holding a baby Jesus.

"Ah, about time you woke up." Felicity heard as she lifted her head, still groggy and winced as her world seemed to have hit a bump and bounced a bit. She realized she was sitting and looked around, finding herself in a car. "What the...?"

Felicity thought to herself and turned to see the driver and jumped a bit, staring at her wide eyed. The female pushed her sunglasses down to look at Felicity better. "Oh come on, it's not like this is the first time you saw me, child." The goddess of love said as she pushed her sunglasses back up the bridge of her nose. Felicity only rolled her eyes in reply.

Venus scuffed. "Really? After the trouble I did of cleaning up your mess with the authorities I get paid with this response? You're lucky that I happened to be in that town and thought it was weird to see a Christian church surrounded by police and ambulances. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Plutos dead daughter was being carted off the ER. And must I say, waiting for mortal doctors to treat you took forever. I charmed my way in and forced some ambrosia down your throat. Then I convinced all those intelligent men to let me take you. I said you were my cousin. Which we all know isn't true." Venus preached proudly. All Felicity did was adjust her position in the seat, wincing a bit at the pain the adrenaline had clouded the night before and was still in the process of healimg. "Can I just go and you forget you ever saw me?" Felicity asked weakly, her voice cracking some.

A giggle escaped Venus lips. "Why would I do that? I can take you back to New Rome as a-" "NO!' Felicity yelled almost frantic as she struggled to take off the seat belt. "Stop the car, let me out!" Felicity yelled, her voice showing signs of panic. Venus slammed on the brakes and glared at Felicity some. "Look, I'm doing something nice for you. The least you can do is thank me. Besides, I need to think you for talking to my daughter. You have a way with words at times, when your anger isn't clouding them."

Felicity stayed silent. "I'm dead. Just leave me alone. I want to be left alone." Felicity responded after a second. Venus sighed and rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to reveal your little secret. But, don't forget what's in there." Venus said as she prodded Felicitys chest where her heart is before having her hand slapped away from Felicity. "You're not as horrible as you're trying to make yourself out to be and you know it. Now leave my car." Venus said as she pressed a button, unlocked the car doors as Felicity undid her seat belt and opened her door, closing it behind her. The car speed off, leaving Felicity on the dirt road it was traveling on.

She looked around her and started to walk some. Trying to not think about what Venus had said. But really, she hadn't forgotten. She knew who she all cared about. Remus, Edmund, the questers, her family, the few friends she still had. Yeah, she played the part well. But really. She was just eighteen. Before she knew it a few silent tears were falling down her face and she crumbled to the ground as she let herself cry. Letting out the tears she held back for awhile. Yes, she was keeping the mask good for Discordia and she wasn't lying to her either. Felicity did enjoy the training. But she missed some things. Vising the principia and being held in Remus's arms. The way he brushed her hair out of her face and the way he always made it seem everything was going to be okay for the two of them. She missed his hugs. She really missed him right now.

After fifteen minutes the sobs became sniffles as she stared blankly at the vacant dirt road. She wasn't thinking of anything at all, just staring blankly as her emotions finished their course. A couple more minutes passed and she stood up with a deep breath. Maybe that was all she needed, a good crying. She felt a bit better. But how long was that going to last? When would she just have to cry it all out again? Who knows. But for now, she should probably get back to the campsite before Discordia returned. The goddess didn't need to know about the past night. The meeting with Venus. The release of her emotions. No, Felicity was better now and she had things to do.
