Aphrodite
I want my mom. I want my brothers. It’s too dark, he took my light away because I was bad. My cheek is cold, the floor is cold. I’m hungry. He took away my friend. I want Minnie, she’s nice. I want mama.
Hermes
They wont tell us anything. Dio looks like he’s three seconds away from pummeling someone in the face. He’s pacing around the very fancy hotel suite we’re sharing with the father we met 4 days ago.
Matteo looks like he’s a about to commit a murder.
Dionysus
The mother fuckers wont tell us where she is, or if their even looking. Its been 6 days. Aphie is nowhere to be found, and we burned mom yesterday. Her ashes sit in an urn.
Mine and Hermes’s father enters the door to the room, nearly breathless. “They found her, she’s at the hospital.”
Aphrodite
It’s so bright. They keep coming in and out of my room. Some with These weird machines they keep using. They didn’t find Minnie. I asked, a lot. My hands are in my lap, tears wetting my face.
“Aphie” Hermes voice breaks my thoughts. He enters my hospital room and wraps me in a hug. My tears flow stronger now. A man I don’t recognize stands next to Dio.
Matteo is right behind them. He looks so sad
“Where’s mama”
Dio starts moving towards me and says “Mama’s dead”
