Whispers in the Dark

By Marisa Quinn-Haisu

Eros, son of Aphrodite, is a Greek god who lives a lonely life high in the heavens. Every night for eighteen years he has been having visions of a human woman with long black hair and eyes that glittered like gold – was she his soul mate or just a dream?
One day, Aphrodite, in a fit of rage discovers that there is a human woman living on Earth who is more beautiful than she. She summons Eros to show him what she has found and he discovers, to his shock, that it is the woman from his dreams.
Aphrodite orders Eros to find the woman and bewitch her into falling in love with the ugliest man in the world so that she will never know happiness.
But Eros has other plans. He is convinced this woman is his long prophesied soul mate. He finds the woman and the two begin a secret affair where they meet every night and whisper in the dark.

A clap of thunder pierced the silence of the night. Eros, God of Desire, awoke with a gasp. Darkness surrounded him. He lay still for a moment, then sat upward, threw back the blankets covering his bed, and pressed a hand against his face. A sheen of sweat clung to his forehead.

It had happened again. The woman with the gold speckled eyes had entered his dreams. Every night it was the same. The moment he closed his eyes he would receive flashes of a dark-haired woman with sinful lips curved in a mysterious smile. A growl of frustration rumbled past his lips. The dreams had been plaguing him for eighteen years now. He did not know how much longer he could resist the urge to seek her out in the flesh.

A screech of rage echoed throughout the castle. Eros buried his face into his hands and gave a barely audible sigh. He felt another presence stir inside his head, a light feather brush, tinged with impatience. He recognized the telepathic touch instantly, there was no way he could not.

---Hello, mother. He sent the words back along the mind path the two of them shared. A moment later, he heard her voice fill his head, as clear as if she were standing right next to him.

---Come to me. I must show you something.
