"Oh, he'll get over it," he told her. "Mia is free to choose whoever she wants. She just cares about him because of the bond they have. It's not real love. She loves the bond. He needs to realize that so she can be happy."

"And she will be happy with you? She has a guy that confessed his love to her and promised to take care of her. What can you offer other than sex? Can you promise her you will never grow bored? Can you promise her you will always love her? Can you promise you will never break her heart?"

Keith shrugged. "I don't make promises that I can't keep," he told her.

"Then you can't promise her anything that Neron already did. You have nothing to offer her other than lust. And if you really wanted her happy, you would let her enjoy the bond she has with Neron. Not many people have that kind of bond and it's a blessing whether you like it or not."

Keith looked up at her and smirked. "You're just upset because you like her too." His cellphone beeped, and upon pulling it out, he frowned. He hit a few numbers to send a text to whoever was trying to get in touch with him.

"Just because I like her doesn't mean I want to take her from something that makes her happy. And Neron makes her happy," she said and smirked. "And I hope she chooses him."

Keith looked up, his eyes narrowing. "And why is that? I could make her happy too. Other than love, a love which might end up being nothing. If he gets his memory back he might go back to Elyssa. He doesn't know anything about this world. He can't even read! I have money, and can offer her whatever she wants. Clearly I'm the better choice."

"What she wants is love and commitment. You can't offer her either. Neron already has," she said shrugging.

"Whatever," he sighed. He fixed himself another glass and downed it. "He still owes me about three grand for the wine."

Sophitia smiled to herself. One down. One to go. Standing she walked to Mia's room and knocked. Mia's eyes blinked and she sat up. "Neron?"

Sophitia walked in. "No, just me."

"Oh..." Mia said.

"Sorry to disappoint you. Mind if we talk?" she asked and closed the door behind her.

Neron downed the bottle of wine. After several gulps, he swiped the blade across the bottle, slicing it into different shapes. When there was nothing left, he let his miasma consume the remnants. His master didn't desire him. That had never happened before. He thought back to Elyssa, wondering what she was doing now.

Sophitia wiped Mia's eyes for the hundredth time. "You...think we belong together?"

"Yes. I've never approved of master and warrior relationships, but he makes you happy. Who cares if it's the bond? How cares that one day it might end? What about now? What does your heart say?"

Mia placed her hand on her heart. She closed her eyes, tears sliding down. "I love Neron...but I'm attracted to Keith...I always have been."

"But that attraction is nothing more than what every girl as felt for him. Lust. That's all it is. Your bond with Neron is so much more than that," Sophitia said. "And people would kill for that. People like Elyssa who would take a moment like this and weasel her way into his life while you are sitting here crying."

Mia tensed. "I...I don't want her to have him."

"If you want him, then you need to commit to him like he has you. Tell him you make a mistake and that you won't put yourself into another position like that again."

"What about Keith?"

"He is a player. He'll sleep with some pretty girl and get over it like always."

Mia stood and wiped her eyes again. "I love Neron...I don't want to let him go...not for anything."

Sophitia smiled. "Then go tell him that."

Mia rushed out.

"Where are we going?" Neron leaned his head back in the seat, wondering what was so damn important that Keith needed him to come along. "It better not be to a brothel. I'm not in the mood for that."

"Don't worry," Keith told him. "It's not a brothel. Someone wants to see you. That's it."

Neron's eyes narrowed as he heard this. "Who wants to see me?"

They stopped at a diner, Elyssa stood outside waiting for them with a smile. "Hello, Neron," she smiled as she took his hand and helped him out of the car. "I've missed you."

Mia knocked on Neron's door. "Neron? Please...I...I want to talk. I know I don't deserve it, but I really-" She opened the door and stopped. "He's gone?"

Sophitia walked up behind her. "Master is gone and so is the car."

Mia turned to her. "Can you track them?"

Neron frowned as Elyssa pressed herself against him. She rubbed him, and as he started to speak she pressed her lips to his. "Shh," she whispered. "It's okay. I'll take care of you."

Neron closed his eyes, his head throbbing as she kissed him again. He brought his hand up to his head, his legs feeling weak and his head feeling like it was on fire.

Keith groaned. "Elyssa, you need to stop," he told her. "You said you wanted to talk to him. This isn't talking."

Elyssa smiled into the kiss. "Zeus," she whispered.

Neron's eyes widened as a bolt of lightning shot out from the darkness and nailed Keith in the chest, sending him flying backwards. He landed on the ground, groaning as the electrical surge numbed his body.

Sophitia growled. "Master..." She stepped harder on the gas and Mia grabbed the door as Sophitia took a curve. "Hang on!" Sophitia shifted gears and floored it. Mia screamed as they flew pass cars. Her hands going to her head.

Suddenly, Sophitia's arm went over Mia's chest and she hit the break. Mia flew forward and was jerked back by Sophitia's arm. Sophitia got out, Mia followed. They rushed into a diner and Mia looked at Neron.

"Neron! I order you to stay away from her!" she screamed while holding her head.

Sophitia rushed to Keith and the looked at Mia. "Mia...stay back," she said as her eyes fell on Zeus.

Zeus smiled as people around him cheered and shook his hands, oblivious to anything other than the splendor which was him. Secret service swarmed around him, forming a protective barrier.

Neron was frozen to the spot. Energy coursing through him from where Zeus had stunned him. "Mia, run!" Blood was dripping from his face as the pain intensified every time Elyssa touched him.

"Shh," she whispered. Looking at Mia, she smiled as she leaned forward and kissed Neron, her arms traveling over him as her tongue dipped into his throat while he was helpless to move. "I'm the only one that can ever love you."

Keith groaned as he stared up at Sophitia. "We gotta get out of here," he told her. "It...was a setup."

"Mia...I'm sorry," Sophitia said and lifted Keith. "I have to think of my master," she said and dashed out.

Mia looked at Neron. Her heart was speed fast. Before she left she had grabbed her gun. Looking around in a panic, she searched for Zeus's master.

"Stop! Don't leave her!" Keith groaned as he glared at Sophitia. "That's an order."

The secret service began to swarm Mia the instant they saw the gun. "Get her! She's trying to kill the President."

"Oopsie," Elyssa smiled. "It seems that your master is in hot water now."

Neron glared at Elyssa with glowing eyes. "I never loved you," he spat.

Elyssa's eyes darkened as she heard this. She back handed Neron, her nails digging into his flesh. Upon realizing what she did, she quickly caressed his cheek. "I'm sorry my love. I'll make it better. I promise."

Sophitia groaned. Placing Keith in the car she dashed back in just as Mia was getting pounced on. "Neron!" she screamed.

Sophitia fought against the men, trying hard to get to Mia. "Fuck this!" she yelled. She opened her mouth and fire erupted, engulfing the crowd. Mia hit the ground. Grabbing her gun she watched as people ran and screamed. She stood just as Sophitia closed her mouth. "Mia!" she yelled and reached out her hand for her.

Mia pointed her gun at Elyssa. "Back off bitch! He's mine!" she growled and pulled the trigger. Elyssa cried out as the bullet hit her shoulder. She back from Neron. "Neron, run! That's an order!" Sophitia grabbed Mia and pulled her out.

Elyssa screamed in pain, and Zeus grabbed his shoulder as he fell back into the crowd. Neron whimpered as his body was forced to follow his master's command. Pushing through the pain, he chased after Sophitia and Mia. Turning his head back, he spewed forth Miasma to cover their tracks.

Sophitia got into the car pushing Mia in. Mia reached for Neron and pulled him in. Sophitia stepped on the gas. "I hope you all saw what I saw."

"I should have shot her head! She's Zeus's master! How the hell is that possible!?" Mia yelled while looking over Neron.

Neron closed his eyes, his breathing labored as he leaned against the seat. He was still shaking from the electricity which had fried his central nervous system.

Keith groaned in the seat and held his head. "That bitch set me up," he moaned.

Mia looked over at him. "You selfish, lying, worst friend in the world!" Mia screamed at him. "You took him to her! You...you...ah! I hate you so much!"

"Chill! My head's still throbbing. I didn't think she'd pull some crap like this. I just felt that she deserved the chance to talk to him is all."

Mia smacked him. "After everything! After everything she did! After...damn it! I'm never going to forgive you for this! You are so cruel, Keith!"

"I was just looking out for you," he told her. "If you did end up choosing Neron, then I didn't want her coming back into your lives and screwing everything up for you. I figured it would be best to settle everything here and now."

Mia grew quiet. Sophitia looked at her in the rear view mirror. "Well...I do choose Neron...and if I wanted her out of the picture, I would have killed her myself. And now...I'm going to kill her," she whispered.

Keith looked back at her as she said this. Looking over at Neron, he frowned as he realized that he was unconscious. Rolling his eyes, he shifted back in his seat. "Whatever," he muttered. "Just know that I'll always be open if you ever change your mind."

"No you won't. We both know that. You grow bored too easy," Mia said. Sophitia pulled up to the house and carried Neron inside then helped Keith inside. Mia walked in last. "Is it safe to be here?"

Sophitia looked at her. "It doesn't matter where we go, they will always find us, even if I mask us. But now that we know Elyssa is Zeus's master, next time she comes for him-"

"I won't hesitate. I'll shoot her," Mia said as she looked at her gun.

"I don't think that she's that stupid," Keith told them. "If she comes for him again it will be with an army."

"Figures as much," Mia said and walked to her room.

"Go sleep master. You need it after the hit you took," Sophitia said and walked with him to his room.

Mia sat next to the window in her room and yawned. She would stay up and watch over Neron. At least until he woke.

Keith waited until they got to his room before he plopped down on his bed. "I fucked up," he muttered sleepily.

"We all make mistakes, master. At least I got you out of there before anything really went wrong." She flipped him over and crawled on his back to give him a massage like she knew he liked it.

He moaned at her touch. Nuzzling his pillow he smiled. "What am I going to do without you when all of this is over?" He yawned and closed his eyes. Sophitia was a godsend.

"Find another maid," she said while smirking as he drifted off.

"Yeah, but they won't know me like you do." Already he was starting to drift off. "When this is over stay....please."

Sophitia smiled. "I'll think about it."

"Good. I'd miss you." That was the last words that left his lips as he dozed off.

Neron awoke an hour later feeling like crap. Sitting up slowly, he rubbed his head and then his lips. "I feel like I was making out with an electric eel," he muttered. His eyes widened and then narrowed when he saw Mia. He looked around, realizing that he'd been placed in their room.

Mia stood quickly. "Can I get you anything?"

"No.... I'm fine. I can get it myself," he told her as he stood, wincing as his muscles wanted to give out on him. A few thousand volts of pure energy could do that. "You don't have to worry yourself, master."

"No I want to," she said and moved him to sit again.
