Even though Zeus always says he couldn’t feel it, I knew he could. He shows more compassion than anyone I know.

I am happy that he is finally finding himself again, and the fact that Serena is the one to bring it out of him makes me even happier. She is too good for all of us, but I plan on doing anything and everything to be a better man for her.

The music quiets before the next song starts, and I hear a scream from under the balcony. I know that sound. Serena.

I jump the last few stairs and run towards where I think the sound is coming from. My mind is racing, wondering if it was her stalker. What if he has her, and I’m too late? I push myself harder and find her crumbling to the floor while someone is running away. I know I should chase after that guy and kill him, but I am more concerned with her on the floor.

I kneel beside her and carefully reach for her, touching her shoulder. She looks up, her eyes so fearful for a split second before relief washes over her delicate features. She leaps into my arms, and I hold her tight. She isn’t crying, but her body is shaking. I embrace her, holding her close, and hum into her hair. After a few seconds, she pushes away from me and gets up, dusting herself off.

“Are you ok?” I ask loudly over the music while standing up next to her.

Serena looks at me and nods, but she is so lost. She may be standing in front of me, but her mind is a million miles away right now. I wish I knew what she was thinking about right now so I could fix it. I would give her anything to make her happy. I can’t think of anything that I wouldn’t do to make her smile. All she will ever have to do is ask, and I will do it.

She leans against the wall and lets out a massive sigh. I step in front of her, caging her in. Her body is so tiny against mine, but she fits perfectly there. A puzzle piece I never knew I was missing.

Her pale green eyes look up at me, and I can’t help but smile. I don’t think I have ever smiled this much in my life. She brings it out of me. She makes me feel like there is more to life than what I know. I know how to kill and destroy, but she makes me want to be more.

I can’t help myself. I have to touch and feel Serena against me. I lean down and press my lips against hers. Her eyes go wide before she closes them and kisses me back. Her hands on my chest, clawing at my clothes, pulling me closer to her. I don’t even hesitate and get as close as possible to her. My hands were in her wig, wishing it was her soft hair instead. The need to rip the wig and costume off and fuck her here is beyond overwhelming. Her delicate scent is heavenly.

I pick her up, her legs wrapping around my waist and her arms around my neck. I push her up against the wall and deepen the kiss. My tongue fights with hers for dominance until she lets me lead her. She melts against me and moans into my mouth. I could listen to that noise forever and never get tired of it. I want to make her moan and scream for me. Have her yell out my name until her voice is hoarse.Maybe I should record her and make it my ringtone for her.

I start kissing down her neck. She tilts her head to the side, permitting me. My gentle kisses quickly turn to bites. She gasps at the first one but loves it. I leave my marks down her throat to her collarbone. I have never felt this euphoric before. I love leaving marks on her, making her mine. Knowing that everyone will see them and know I gave them to her.

The need to tell her how I feel is there. The words are on the tip of my tongue, begging me to let them be free. I can’t tell her yet. I need to know she feels the same way before I say the words for the first time.

The world is going on around us. The music is still so loud, but the one thing I can focus on is her. She takes up everything in me, and I never want it to stop.

I want to keep kissing her and exploring her body, but I don’t want anyone else but the guys to see her like that. Most people here are too stoned to know what’s happening around them, but I still won’t take the chance. I kiss her lips one last time before I pull away, not putting her down. Her cheeks are flushed, and her breath is ragged. She looks so perfect at this moment. I wish I could take a picture of her to add to my collection. If she ever saw the shrine to her that I have, I feel like she would run. She wouldn’t get far. I love to hunt my prey, and she is the one that I would never let get away.

“Serena!” A voice calls out from behind me. Serena looks over my shoulder and smiles. I turn around and see Evie walking towards us.

Serena squirms out of my arms and runs to her friend. They start talking, Serena occasionally looking over her shoulder at me. I can’t take my eyes away from her, even when someone taps on my shoulder. I quickly glance at Zeus and go back to Serena. Evie is talking over the music.

I glance at Zeus from the corner of my eyes and see him smiling at Serena. It makes me even happier to see him smile like that. We watch while they talk until Serena turns around and gives us a little wave before walking away with Evie.

“Did you have fun?” Zeus asks, his smile still plastered on his face.

“More fun than I thought possible for just a kiss.”

“It was fucking hot watching you two go out at it like that.”

I chuckle, and Zeus laughs along with me. I glance over at him and can’t help but admire him. He has always been a good-looking dude with his broody “I don’t give a fuck about anything” attitude, but he looks so much better happy.

When we finally lose sight of her, I nudge Zeus on the shoulder and point towards the bar. He nods his head, and we walk over and order a drink. I sit down at the bar and gaze out into the crowd. No one looks like they are lucid enough to remember tonight. I fucking hate having to push this new drug, but everyone seems to be enjoying it. I’ll never touch it, but if it makes us money, I don’t give a shit.

Zombified by Falling in Reverse starts playing. A girl in a Sailor Moon costume stumbles up to the bar and bumps into me. She bursts out laughing but doesn’t say anything. I push her arm's length away and look at her. Her eyes are so hollow, and her body so limp. It looks like she can barely hold herself up. Her mouth stays open after she stops laughing. She looks like a zombie.

“Bitch, I thought I told you to get me a drink, not try and fuck some other asshole.” A male voice yells behind us. I look over and see a guy dressed in a devil costume. “Dumb slut. Let’s go.” She nods her head and stumbles over to him before. He grips the back of her neck and sneers down at her before he pops another pill in her mouth, and she swallows it. She zones out more. He smirks down at her before pushing her along with him.

I recognize her from school. She was on the cheer squad with Valerie and is a total bitch. I’ve never seen her like that before. I look at Zeus. He looks just as confused as I feel. I shake off the weirdness and go back to sipping my beer. That was so fucking weird. I have seen some asshole guys before, but that was different. She didn’t even seem fazed by it, completely unlike her.

Zeus

I need to find Serena.

After seeing her with Odin, I know there is still a chance. So what if she kissed Dante? She kissed Odin, and that means there is still a chance. I need to find her. I have a plan. Her birthday gift has been in my pocket since I bought it on her birthday. I need her to have it.

Odin and I sit and finish our drinks. He points back upstairs, and I shake my head no. Odin nods and gets up from his stool. He pushes through the crowd, and I watch him walk up the stairs and stand next to Midas.
