Aite

Stress from the loss of his power, Proteus walked through the streets unable to think straight, he walked into a bar.

He walked to the counter, "I'm really stressed out, so please give me your strongest"

The bartender looked at him and thought if he gave him something too strong he might cause trouble, so he gave him plain tequila on the rocks with no extra liquor.

He looked at the drink, "do you think small of me mortal" he said as he stared at him with his cold dead eyes.

"Okay, it seems you are already drunk" the bartender said as he tries to take back the tequila slowly but then a feminine hand stopped him.

"Are you going to disrespect my friend like that" she said.

Proteus raised his head to see who was speaking, "if it isn't the exiled one".

"You don't look too good yourself" Aite said, Aite was the goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and blind folly, rash action and reckless impulse who led men down the path of ruin and she was one of Zeus' illegitimate children but one who worked with Hera.

She was exiled by Zeus for trying to trick him.

"What do you want?" Proteus asked with a broken tone.

"Wow, has the great Proteus really fallen" Aite teased.

"Let me asked you something, you don't have powers, so how are you not in your natural form, old man?" She asked as she looked at him sinisterly.

Hearing that he quickly touched his neck without thinking, "I may not be as powerful as I was but I can still change form" he said

"Stop the crap old man, I already saw the necklace" She said, he was wearing a necklace that made him look like a young man.

The bartender just stared at them as if he was looking at two crazy people.

"What, haven't you seen people with mental case speak before, now give us something super strong." she said as she smiled at the bartender.

"What do you want from me Aite" he asked.

"Oh no, this was coincidental, this place is one of my usual spot" she said.

"Really?"

"Just like you, I don't have my powers like I used to but coming to places like bars and casinos I am able to feel like I used to" she said and that got his attention, "what do you mean?"

Just then a man came crying to the bar and ordered a very strong combination of vodka, gin, tequila, vermouth even asked that it be mixed with lime water.

"Watch this" she said as she turned towards the man.

"Hey man, what happened?" She asked him

"I don't want to talk about" he said as tears rolled down his cheek.

She noticed a small box shape inside his trouser pocket, "is it because of a girl?"

"How'd you know?" He asked staring at her. She pointed to the box in his pocket.

"You know what, she doesn't deserve you" she said as if she was trying to console him.

"That's what everyone tells me" he said as he took a sip of the dangerous drink, he coughed real hard.

"Dear, dear" Aite said as she pats him on the back, "I think you should teach her a lesson" she added.

"What?" He looked surprised

"If she is not going to love you, then she can't love anyone else, let's make sure of that" she said looking at him sinisterly.

"You are right, I'm gonna make her regret everything she did to me" he said as he was about to walk out, Aite pulled him back, "first you need to finish this bravery potion" she said as she handed him the drink.

He drank it all, he made his face so tight as he swallowed it, "wow" he yelled "I feel different" he added.

"Now let's go" she said

"So you are gonna make him kill her?" Proteus stated.

"That is what I do best, right?" She said with a smile, "now come on, let's see if he has it in him".

*********

The young man knocked at the door and a female voice answered, it was the girl he proposed to.

"What do you want, Elliot?" She said as if his face irritated her, "don't you get it, I don't love you" she added.

As she completed that sentence, the young man grabbed her by the neck and pulled her into the house.

Close to the house was Aite and Proteus, she felt a surge flow through her veins as they heard the screaming of the girl as she pleaded for her life.

Elliot took out a knife from the cabinet and stabbed her multiple times until she was completely lifeless.

With her blood all over his face, he came back to his senses, "what.....what.....what have I done?"

Just then sirens were heard outside the house. Proteus and Aite had already fled the scene because the neighbor who heard noises coming from the house had called the police....
