I'll Squish You With My Finger [Tori]--CLOSED

[Bear Keeni]

I don't have a car. Is that weird? No, it's not. Say anything otherwise and I'll impale your face with an iron rod.

But tonight wasn't for throwing iron rods into people's faces. Tonight it was just going to be me and Becca. Even though I couldn't dance to save my life, I was willing to give it a try for her. Hell, I was willing to try anything for Becca. I was even trying to turn my life around in roughly six months for the sake of our kid, but judging by the looks of things now, it was going to take a while.

I had wanted to walk Becca to the prom, but I had got called into work at the last minute, so that wasn't going to work. I had told Becca that I would just meet her there, which was where I was at now: just waiting outside. The air was cool, so I didn't mind at all. This was honestly the first time I have ever dressed up like this, so the chilly air was very much welcomed. I put my hands in my pockets and waited, rocking back and forth on my heels in anticipation.

Oh, I have been waiting forever for this. I was stuck at the prom making small talk with human teachers that actually thought I was some Director of the Board of Education. Some demigod children and regular human children were drooling at my feet and I was really getting annoyed. All I wanted to do since I got here was to settle the issue that brought me down from Olympus. Those demigods and their big mouths. Honestly, was it that hard to keep a secret? I mean, I've been doing it since forever.

I sensed the second Bear walked even remotely close to the ballroom. His aura was strong and well, dark was an understatement. He would be the first one I would deal with. After all, he told a human that he was a demigod and she was carrying his child. That was another issue. Demeter made him promise that he would not touch Rebecca, but something needed to be done. Zeus walked up behind Bear and crossed his arms. "So you finally arrived."

Waiting isn't my thing, really. After a short amount of time, I tend to get pretty impatient, but hey, I'm working on it. I tried to occupy myself by kicking at the ground with my shoe, scraping up grass and grit. Surprisingly amusing, actually....

It was then that I heard the guy's voice. My eyes narrowed and my brows furrowed together as I straightened up and turned around. "What the hell do you w--" I began, but stopped mid sentence as soon as I realized who I was snapping at. Zeus. Now, I may be a 6'6 rapist/part time cannibal, but in all honesty, I was terrified of Zeus. He had the power to just destroy me by sneezing a certain way, and I didn't want to be in the way of his projectile poisonous snot if that became a reality.

I quickly glanced around me, making sure that no one else was around in case I said his actual name. "Yeah... I'm here..." I was somewhat cautious about what I said, keeping a wary eye on Zeus. I knew I was in some deep shit by the way he had his arms crossed over his chest, but I didn't back down at all. Instead, I waited; just the thing I hated doing.

"What the hell do you w-" I was ready to explode on Bear, but he seemed to retract his statement when he saw me. Hm. I was glad I didn't have to explain myself to him. Some demigod children knew there was something about me that was different, but had no idea what or who I was. Really, it was quite sad that a half god/goddess child could not recognize me. Sure, I wasn't in all my glory, but that did not mean that my aura wasn't screaming, "Zeus" to them. Maybe the demigods were spending way too much time with the humans. Maybe that's why Bear spilled the secret to a human. Maybe the whole idea of Richmond High School was a bad idea.

Bear was facing me now and he seemed to calm down enough. Maybe I wouldn't have to squish him with my finger. "You know why I'm here right?" I was here to discipline. To make an example out of him. To make sure law and order was installed in this quickly declining high school. I knew Bear knew why I was here, but I just wanted to hear him say it. I wanted him to say how he screwed up so I could put the poor bastard in his place. He needed to know this was not a light subject.

"Now, I've been thinking of what to do to you. What punishment would be great enough for breaking the secret that has been kept for millenniums?" I let my arms fall to my side and I walked closer to Bear, circling him as I spoke. "I mean, so many people have put so much work to make sure that the little humans had no idea we existed and some stinky half-blood goes and blows it off because he can't control his emotions. How disgraceful." I walked back in front of the son of Ares and looked him into the eye. I dropped my voice and spoke just above a whisper. "Now, I promised Demeter I wouldn't touch your precious Rebecca, but I've broken promises before. You broke the promise that you would never speak of us so why should I keep my promise? Tell me that. Why should I not rip your child out of that human's womb and let her bleed?"

[Bear Keeni]

I stood there silently, unable to really comprehend this guy in front of me. Zeus, the king of all the Greek gods and goddesses, was glaring me down, and I knew exactly why. I had broke that unspoken rule of never talking about the gods and goddesses around the humans. But really, I can't be the only demigod that's told a human about us. Apparently I am, though.

My brows furrowed together as he began to circle me, my dark eyes following him around and around and around. Well, when he put it that way, it made me sound like the bad guy. Millenniums. Pfft. Who the hell uses that word anymore? I wanted to snap at him for being such a dick, but as soon as he mentioned Becca, I froze.

Zeus's eyes were incredibly intense. I could feel his gaze just boring into me like a drill, and all of a sudden I felt very small in the presence of the king of the gods and goddesses.

I still didn't take a step back, though. Hell no. However, I was still scared of the guy. But to let him threaten Becca like that? Fucking hell no.

I narrowed my eyes onto him, glaring right back into his eyes. "Don't you fucking hurt Becca or that kid." I growled in a dark tone, anger swelling up inside of me like embers being fanned into flames. "They did nothing, and yet you'll hurt her and the kid because of something I did? Fucking coward. I fucked up, I get the consequence. Not them."

A smirk appeared on my face. It really was funny to see the little guy so angry. He glared at me and his voice was murderous. I let out a laugh. Did this simple little demigod really think he could threaten me, that he could really hurt me? I was Zeus and he was just some lost child of a god. I walked uncomfortably close to him and smiled ever so slightly. "I really doubt you are in the position to be telling me what to do." I looked him up and down. This was the kid causing so many problems even before he blabbed. The things I was going to do to him.

"I'll tell you what, Bear. I'm a fair king and I'm not stupid. I know you could care less what happens to you. The only person you seem to care for is Rebecca, so here's your punishment. Becca can keep her child, but her pregnancy will not be a normal one. She will have a painful labor and the baby may not survive. I guess we'll leave that one to the fates. As for you..." My voice trailed off and I slipped a hand around his fragile neck. With just a twist of my wrist, his neck could snap and he would be dead instantly. "You have gotten off so easy...but if I even hear you whisper our names in the presence of a human, I will make sure to keep you alive long enough to see Rebecca suffer." I tightened my grip just so he knew I was serious, then let go.

[Bear Keeni]

Zeus was smirking and laughing, but nothing with my facial expression changed. I still was glaring icily at him through my dark brown eyes, brows furrowed, and jaw set. Not only that, but he literally came right up mere inches from my face. I tried to force myself to remain unfazed by his lack of personal space, snorting. "I'll tell you whatever the hell I want." I muttered, continuing my glaring session. "Yeah, a fair king that breaks promises. Way to contradict yourself."

My mind was racing when he said that Becca would have a painful labor and whether our kid lives or dies is up to fate. I had no idea whether or not my face gave away my growing concerns for her, but before I could dwell over that, Zeus's hand came up and wrapped around my neck, squeezing it with such an incredible amount of pressure that I almost instantly couldn't breathe. My eyes went wide and I gasped, my hands shooting up and grabbing onto his wrist, trying to pull his hand off from my neck. I tried to breathe, but all I could do was wheeze and grind my teeth, pulling with every bit of strength I could muster with oxygen-deprived muscles. The pulse pounding in my head was incredible. And if I thought it couldn't get any worse, he tightened his grip, making my vision go grey and fuzzy just before he let go, leaving me coughing and hacking as I tried to get air back into my lungs, turning away from him and bending to put my hands on my knees. "You're... you're not as bad ass as you... as you make yourself to be, Zeus." I rasped in a mocking tone, glaring sideways up at him. Sure, taunting him was certainly not the best idea, but I couldn't let him get away with that. Besides, it was my nature to bitch at people, be it for better or for worse.

This little half-blood was seriously getting on my last nerves. I thought he got off easy considering he blew a major secret of ours without any guilt. Now he was telling me that I was the one breaking promises. Dark clouds started to form above Richmond High. I really hadn't meant to make it rain, but did I say how much this kid was getting on my nerves? "First, Demeter made the promise, not I. I wanted to kill Rebecca but told her that I would not, but I never said anything about not hurting her. And even if I did, don't act like you're all holier than thou. The whole reason Becca is in this mess is because of you."

I started to walk off assuming he had enough. Bear was practically on the ground gasping for air. I guess I under estimated the strength I had. The rain was slowly lightening as I calmed down, until he spoke again. With the little amount of air he had in his lungs he was able to form words of insult. Not that I was insulted. Nothing this puny demigod could say would insult me. He was dirty on my shoes that had to be scrapped off and put in his place on the ground. I turned around sharply, the rain pouring now. Thunder and lightning cracked in the sky as I glared at the son of Ares. "You really are stupid, aren't you?" A flash of lightning hit a tree near by followed by the sound of thunder. The tree snapped in half and smoked. I turned around and started walking off, but turned around with just enough time to see my lightning strike the annoyance known as Bear.

[Bear Keeni]

I rubbed my neck, trying to soothe the knotty places underneath my skin, but it was too sore to the touch, so I left it alone. Fucking Zeus.... As soon as I was able to breathe properly again, I straightened back up, only to see the dark storm clouds that were gathering above the school.

Great.

Zeus was seriously contradicting himself. First he said that he promised Demeter that he wouldn't hurt my kid, then he goes on to say that Demeter was the one that made the promise, not him. Fucking jackass needs to get his story straight. But then he set me off.

"Do you honestly think I don't know that? I know I fucked up, you jackass. Why do you have to go off picking on some human that was dragged into this if you're as fair as you say you are, Zeus, oh high and fucking mighty king of the Greek gods and goddesses?" I was pretty much yelling by now, not really caring if there was any humans around or not. I didn't give a shit anymore. "Prove to me that you're not a pussy about a little fucking demigod and come after me instead of her." I had hardly noticed that it was raining by the time I took a breather from my rant. I was used to being called stupid, so it didn't bother me that he called me that. But I suddenly felt the air around me get all zappy-feeling like. It's that hard-to-describe feeling like just before a thunderstorm when you can feel the electricity in the air, and sure enough, there was a lightning bolt that struck a nearby tree, leaving it to smoke and smolder in the rain. I turned to look back at Zeus, but he was already walking away. Bitch.

I narrowed my dark eyes onto his retreating form, clenched my hands into fists at my sides until my knuckles were white, an--
