Selene Goddess of the Moon

SELENE'S POV

"No ordinary thing is when I beheaded her, Agustin."

I walked out of the room and Gust was so terrified that he couldn't move for a while.

I head my way to my chair and face my computer, I notice Martha is wearing earphones while busy typing.

I can also hear her singing in a low-tone voice.

While staring at Martha's every move, I was stoned a little when Martha unconsciously flipped her hair, and it seemed like the old days, seeing that person in Martha's gestures and expression. "Thali"

I whispered while staring at Martha.

Then reality hits me, waking me from this sort of reminiscing, since I know it's been how many centuries have passed, and Thali's expression is still clear in my memory.

When Gust got out of the room, it caught Martha's attention and she was stunned to see me already at my table.

"Oh shoot...! Sorry, Ma'am, I didn't notice you are there"

She said. I am still staring at her and that confuses her.

"Yes, Ma'am? Do you need anything?"

Martha asked.

"Nothing! Just continue what you're doing,"

I said, and then faced my computer, though in my peripheral vision I could see that Gust was looking at me. I knew he noticed the difference in my gesture towards Martha, and I didn't want him to overreact to it, so I didn't mind him. Instead, I just focused on the computer.

"Hey Sen, got to go now, be always nice to Martha, okay,"

Gust said, and then winked at Martha before going out. MARTHA'S POV

I really didn't notice her presence at her table, Ms. Selene usually does that. I mean the way she moves is silent as always.

Gust, on the other hand, headed her way out after teasing Ms. Selene and throwing a wink at me, so now that he has already left, things become awkward here when a sudden silence surrounds us. I just put my earphones back and continued my work.

A while later my cell phone rang.

"Yes?"

I asked the other line.

"Hey Martha, we will have an upcoming reunion on Sunday, you should be there!"

Liezel said as the president of our student council before.

"Ahmm, I don't know if I can make it, I am very busy this week, but I will try okay"

I just simply said while secretly looking at Ms. Selene.

It is not that I don't want to attend, but I don't have a face to show them. I don't feel embarrassed with whom I am now or what I became, but, it's human nature, they will always ask what you became and laugh if you didn't meet their expectations from you.

The truth is, I was an honor student before, and everyone looked up to me and expected something from me. They admire me, which made me famous way back, so living like this, aside from not even finishing college; I know they are expecting me to become a doctor or scientist, at least like my father.

I lost that life, so I can no longer go back and be mingled with them anymore. I know it's just my pride, but it is the only thing left for me.

"But Mar, you are the batch Valedictorian, you should be there at least. The theme is a night ball, so be at your best night dress," Liezel said, still expecting me.

"I really don't know Zel, I don't want to give you false hope, sorry,"

I said, wearing a sad face, damn I can't help it. My tears almost dropped when I ended the call. I just breathed out and tried to relax before continuing my work, but I was shocked to see Ms. Selene suddenly beside me.

I stiffened when she moved her face close to my monitor, seemingly looking for something; it was almost an inch now between our faces, goodness! Here I am again; I blushed to have this kind of feeling which I don't know why! She is looking seriously at my monitor checking on something.

Her perfume lingers on my nose, her face looks shiny and soft, and her eyes, gosh! It's like a silver crystal to look at, damn; I am checking her out now, Goodness!

Then I was shocked when she suddenly turned her head from monitor to me.

"Done checking me out?"

She said facing me, the tip of our noses almost touches each other, until our eyes suddenly met, forming an intimate stare that even my mind shouted to just turn my head away but couldn't even make a single move, since our eyes just nailed at each other.

It's been a minute passed since our staring contest and still in the same position. The door suddenly opened and Gust entered. He caught us in that position, which startled me, but Ms. Selene remains her coolness in the same position facing me, and just stands straight walking towards Gust, who seems confused about what he sees in us.

He just whispers at her and then looks at me, which I find weird. Well, maybe he is asking about what is going on with us upon getting in.

After their silent talk, he walks in front of me and then leans forward to my desk.

"What was that between you two, huh?"

Gust teases me, which makes me blush a little. I could see in his eyes that he means about something in his question. Sometimes I also find myself weird, especially towards Ms. Selene!

I just rolled my eyes at him and he just burst into a laugh and then headed his way out of the office after talking to Ms. Selene, then she, on the other hand, just picked up her bag and coat, seemingly going somewhere.

"I need to go to the hotel, but I will be back before working hours end. Let me take you home for your safety. Wait for me here,"

She said. Then they turned the knob and left.

I wasn't even able to give a response since she just left me hanging like that.

SELENE'S POV

I listen to Martha's call, I notice the sadness in her tone so I walk towards her to listen and act like I am just looking for something on her computer.

Now I can also hear the voice of someone even through the phone, at least the words coming from their mouth.

I heard everything; I was confused about why Martha seemed unsure about attending the reunion.

After the call, she seemed frightened seeing me standing beside her, so I just leaned forward to her computer, our faces were almost touching each other, and my heart skipped a beat again near her presence. I don't know why I always felt like this but I am about to discover it.

Being in this position near her, I noticed two beautiful brown eyes staring at me.

"Done checking me out?"

I said, and then turned my eyes to her face-to-face, which was only inch away, which I soon regretted!

Shit! It was a wrong move. I suddenly buried my eyes on Martha, my heart was on a beat that I couldn't handle and I don't know why. All I know is a beautiful scene that made me stare at her for a few seconds... but reality hit me when Gust entered the room and witnessed this scene.

I walked towards Gust and he whispered to me.

"Natasha is at the target place"

Gust whispered. Then he teased Martha a little before he left.

I hurriedly pick up my things to get to Natasha but before I left, I glimpsed Martha who was staring at me.

"I need to go to the hotel, but I will be back before working hours end. Let me take you home for your safety. Wait for me here,"

I said, and then left. I drove my way to the hotel to catch Natasha. I can't let this moment pass to put Natasha where she belongs.

I arrived at Selene Prestige Hotel. Gust got the information that Natasha had a secret meeting with the board, at the exact time I was already there and the meeting was already done, so I walked straight to Natasha, who was now waiting for the elevator.

I grab Natasha's hand and use a little strength to forcedly pull her to the emergency exit.

She is also a fighter, which I am aware of, and has the strength to fight any strong man, but not a vampire! So I make sure I can dominate Natasha's strong physique.

At the emergency exit, I could see surprise all over her face, seeing me standing in front of her. The person who abducts her from the elevator to the emergency exit is no other than me!

"What is wrong with you!?"

Natasha said while forming her fist with anger. I did not answer her for a while. Instead, I looked seriously into her eyes with crossed arms.

It amazes me that I cannot see any fear in her eyes; well, this woman is a real devil in the making.

At this point, I knew how to deal with her...

"I just have one question, Natasha. Are you the one behind Martha's almost abduction last night?"

I seriously asked her. I noticed that she didn't even twitch a little after hearing my question. Well, let's see how far she can go facing me!

"And so what if I am? It is her destiny to die—"

I just cut her from talking when I grabbed her neck and pressed it to the wall wearing my fierce eyes.

Now, I begin to feel her fear flowing into her nerves.

"When I told you to stay away from Martha I just spared your pathetic life, don't make me end it now,"

I said, controlling my rage drifting into my system. Her wrong move would make me slit her throat in just a second.

I loosen up my hand and free Natasha's neck; she is now shaking after what I did that I know shocked her.

"I can kill you anytime I want, but what I can do more is to kill you with your father's hand. What would Apollo's reaction knowing his daughter was playing a dirty game behind his back? Is he going to spare you or dig your own grave, knowing your father... I doubt she would spare you!"

I said then, leaving Natasha in a state of shock; all I can see now is Natasha's body. She can't even make a single move that makes me smirk.

I walked toward my car to go back to the office. I am aware that I have lost a little control of my emotions, and I can't bear to think that Martha will be in danger again, especially after hearing about her death. I feel like I will always lose control. I drive fast to get on time to pick up Martha. Right now I am aware that I no longer have a hold on myself anymore, especially when it comes to her.

Who are you Martha? What have you done to me...? You damn destroying the wall that I built a thousand years ago!
