Chapter 62

Both videos went viral in a few hours, and people were on Rosemarie's page apologizing to Phoenix. Rosemarie had seen this and almost laughed at the irony. Just a few minutes ago, they were angrily cursing and insulting Phoenix.

She then posted: 'This isn't Phoenix's account, I'm a friend of his. If you want to apologize to him, then make a banner before school ends. If he smiles, he's forgiven you, if he doesn't, then it's your loss. I'm not conveying any of your apologies to him, I don't care if you throw hate at me for not doing so either.'

Rosemarie was annoyed and angry at the people who made posts about Phoenix, saying he was being dramatic for the way he behaved and Artemis and Apollo had no right to raise their bows and it at the crowd.

They did have the right to act the way they did. Phoenix's behavior was perfectly reasonable to her.

"Okay everyone, let's leave His Highness and Phoenix alone, we can check on them once school is over," Medley said strictly. "I know you all are worried about Phoenix, but he's still here."

Everyone obeyed her without thinking twice and left the medical room.

Lunchtime was almost over, so everyone had to head to class.

Athena and Rosemarie walked together to class, no one went close to them, mostly because Athena was glaring at everyone of them.

"Athena," Rosemarie called her.

"Yes?" Athena replies.

"I've found everyone who posted those videos online," Rosemarie said, looking at her. Athena is taller than she is—about an inch taller than her five-foot-five frame. "And I don't think that they should get away that easily."

"Yes," Athena replies, nodding before saying, "We should find them, make the world see the ugliness of their hearts by turning them into terrifying beasts, then put a bounty on their heads."

Rosemarie looked at her, very confused. "Is this your ability or something?" she asked. Before Athena could answer, she said, "Nevermind. I just thought that we could expose a few of their dirty secrets to everyone and let them be hated by everyone."

'That isn't better than turning them into beasts and hunting them down,' Athena thought, but she responded. "Okay, let's do that."

When they got to class, it was just five minutes before the teacher came in. They went to their seats quickly to settle down.

"You seem to like Phoenix now," Athena said, raising an eyebrow.

"No, not really," Rosemarie said nonchalantly, "but I don't like people saying nonsense when they know nothing about him or what is going on in his head. It sounds hypocritical coming from me, but normal Phoenix wouldn't behave like that if he had not gone through anything," she said.

"Also, Roger was sad, and I don't want to see my brother sad at all."

Athena was a bit amused by Rosemarie. 'I wish I could keep this little human,' she thought. "So how do you intend on finding the people who posted the video?"

Rosemarie thought of not telling Athena for a while, but looking at her, she felt she could trust her. "Okay, but you have to promise to tell," she whispered.

Athena nodded. It must be a very big secret if Rosemarie doesn't want anyone to know.

Rosemarie taps the desk a few times in a broken form of Morse code, but Athena understands. She had just told her. "I have an ability."

"That's great," Athena replies. "Is it---" She, too, taps the table a few times. "Technology based."

Rosemarie nodded, feeling quite shy all of a sudden. She then nodded. "Amazing," she said.

Rosemarie blushed in embarrassment because of this, causing Athena to laugh.

Lucifer and Augustus were left alone together when Lucifer groaned while lying on the bed. "I'm bored," he said. "What did you say you were doing before you came here?" he asked.

"Stealth training," Augustus replies.

"Sounds fun," Lucifer replies. "You lost a bit of weight," he said to Augustus. "I knew you weren't eating well."

Augustus laughs. "I am," he said. "I just do a lot more physical activity than I usually do. I'm actually back to my normal weight."

Lucifdr hums in response and pokes Augustus' arms. "It is more muscular," he said before sneering and saying, "Lucky."

"I'm sure you can grow muscles on your skinny arms with a bit of physical training," Augustus said, poking at Lucifer's arm as well.

His hand was smacked away. "If I was going to grow muscles, I would have done so already," he said. "I used to carry a lot of heavy stuff back in my days as a slave," he said.

Augustus' eyes widened in surprise. "You were a slave?" he asked.

Lucifer wondered why Augustus sounded surprised. "Yes, after my mom was killed, my deadbeat father stopped the angry mob from killing me and instead opted that I be taken as a slave by the kingdom. I would have preferred to be killed right there and then," he said.

Augustus was conflicted by this. "Who's your father?" he asked.

Lucifer got up and said, "Zeus, Athena, Apollo, and Artemis' dad, one of the Elder Gods, and is probably the only one who doesn't deserve that spot."

"You are the brother of Athena, Apollo, and Artemis?" Augustus said in surprise. 'That doesn't make sense at all,' he thought. 'They are all nothing alike.'

"Yes, not everyone knows, so keep it a secret, okay?" Lucifer said, placing his finger at Augustus' lips and grinning.

Augustus' cheeks turned a bit red as he nodded. "Thank you, also, don't mention it to me again, I plan on destroying the gods, so mentioning one might just turn me into an angry cat."

Augustus laughed and nodded. "I won't, don't worry," he said, brushing Lucifer's hair.
