Chapter 8: My First Sleepover and the Precognition Part 3

After Jax dropped the food off. Rea started thinking about Zagreus. Hey Rea, what are you thinking about? I asked. Oh, me? Rea asked. Nothing, just in deep thought. Rea replied. Otome and I looked at each other. Are you thinking about Zagreus? Otome asked. What no. Rea replied. Come on, Rea. I have known you for a long time. You have never become fascinated with a guy like this. Otome replied. If I remember correctly, the only Zagreus I know of is from Greek Mythology. I replied. Carlyle walks into Rea's room. What is this about Zagreus? Carlyle asked. Mom, what do you know about him? Rea asked. They affiliated the name Zagreus with the underworld. Carlyle replied. Mom, you are kidding. Rea replied. No, he is the oldest child of Hades and Persephone. Carlyle replied. Wait do you really mean the dread Persephone and scary Hades? Rea asked. I could beg to differ. He got the short end of the stick. I replied. Yes, he is the personification of what most would want in a loyal man. Otome replied. You are right; he was a faithful man who never cheated on his wife. Carlyle replied. See mom, he couldn't be a bad guy. Rea replied. As Rea said that, Zagreus was looking at Rea from Melinoe's looking glass. So you have an interest in that human girl with the Crimson Empress? Melinoe asked. As Melinoe pointed the girl out, Amor appears behind him. I see you're fascinated with little Rea. Amor replied. He looked at Amor and turned around his head. As the girls were eating their desserts, Rea brought up Alexandre and Jax. Since we are discussing guys. What do you think about them? Rea asked. I mean Alexandre is a sweet guy, but he lied to me. I replied. As long as I've known Alexandre, he would never lie to anyone. What do you think about Jax, Otome? I asked. Whenever I see him, he is usually working, so I never got to actually have a conversation. Otome replied. Now that you think about, he is working every time we see each other. Rea replied. He seems like a workaholic. Otome replied. Why don't you catch him after work next weekend? Rea replied. Are you sure about that? Otome asked. I have my ways. Rea replied. As she said that, I felt like something crazy was going to happen next. I thought. At the Library, Aria was on her phone reading the new chapter of Serenade of the Crimson Empress. Man, that was too short. Aria yelled. Apollo walked over and tapped Aria's shoulder. For an Oracle, you are reading on the job. Apollo replied. I'm sorry, Apollo. Aria replied. Your shift is over. Apollo replied. Aria rushed out of the Library with the quickness. I see my old friend is trying to protect his daughter from the evil that is impending. Apollo thought.
