The sole daughter of the Great and Powerful Lord Ares God of War?” Daniel asked with a toss of his head. He picked up his chalice and took down the last of the sweet liquid then poured himself another. “I really don’t think it’s a great idea. She didn’t tell you any of this, did she? All these years and she hasn’t told you about David or Kanan.” “Why don’t you kill him?” “I did!” Daniel shouted. “It wasn’t my idea to bring him back to life.” The story Jackson told was most appalling. “I don’t believe he should be anywhere near her.” Ares was shocked and appalled by several things which Daniel had said but none intrigued him more than; “What did Aphrodite do with the younger Callestah? Why would she separate them?” Daniel thought he’d ask more about David so this tossed him a bit of a curve but in light of recent events he thought perhaps he his mind should be wandering in this direction. “Calla said the younger version of her is in Hades, she saw her there. I don’t know why she separated them other than she said that the adolescent was the only one that she could save.” “Now she wanders the Underworld alone, vulnerable to Hades and Eros.” The darkness in Ares voice suddenly struck a cold chord in Daniels’ heart. Like his own daughter, the girl that Calla once was the one who resided in the Underworld couldn’t be allowed to lay at the mercy of two Olympian men. She had to be rescued, some how. “I’ll make you a deal, Jackson.” Ares offered. “You help me get the other Callestah from the Underworld and I’ll let you take Brigid, now tonight, I’ll even tell Callestah the truth of the baby’s conception.” He said quickly. “But of course, all bets are off if she comes to me anyway.” “Yeah, of course they are.” Daniel agreed. There was something in Ares’ eyes. “What’s going on, Ares? What do you expect me to do? What do you want with this part of Calla?” “To protect her. She’s vulnerable to Eros and Hades now that she’s alone in the Underworld.” Ares said to him. “She is my Daughter, she should not have to exist in that type of torture and fear.” “Why not?” Daniel shot before he could stop himself. “You made my wife live that way for twenty-five years. She suffered at Kanan’s hands and he showed no mercy to her.” “Callestah understands what you do not. That I never…” “Intended to leave her with Kanan so long. Yeah, I’ve heard it already so just save it, she may buy it but I don’t. No matter what you still, you did it. You still took her to him and you still left her with him! No one came for her. No one stood up for her until I came along. I am her Husband. Her Lover. Her Sa’Tan and whatever else she needs.” “I almost believe you, Jackson.” The conversation almost over now Ares returned to his throne and lounged across it with his legs over one arm. “Now let me tell you something that I, Callestah, the Ladies of Avalon and even your dim-witted brother understand that you do not.” “Dazzle me, Ares.” Daniel said with a grin. “If Callestah grew up to be the woman Fate had in mind for her, if she grew up here on this island in our traditions and our ways, even though Callestah is a Goddess she would still have a God to kneel to.” Daniel thought about it for a moment and realized Ares was right. Ancient Greek society was as sexist as it was advanced. No matter how powerful Callestah became she would still be a Goddess a woman with a God to kneel to. Part of her, from time to time, needed that structure. That patriarchal way of life. No that long ago, in Scotland, Daniel admitted that he really wasn’t up to snuff on that end of the deal. “Shall I dazzle you with another bit of information, Daniel?” “Go for it.” “She needs it. A heavy hand from time to time. She’s searching for it. I think she may have found it, Jackson for at this very moment your Wife, is in your brother’s bed.” Ares said with a wide grin. “Right now as we sit here she is wrapped up in David’s arms.” He held up a hand to silence Daniel. “Slut, she’s her Mother’s Daughter. If you don’t believe me. Search her out with your own mind and you’ll see.” Sometimes the stunned look on Jackson’s face was enough to make Ares wish he owned a camera. Daniel knew where David was, certainly Calla wouldn’t bring him into their bed! It was easier to make a connection with her here. Plain as day there she was in David’s bed, curled up on his side, his arms wrapped around her. To him it appeared they were done for the evening. “She’s a whore, Jackson, just like her Mother, it’s in the Ichor. You can’t trust her, can’t turn your back on her for long…look what happens. Now do you see their point about wanting her to have a Sa’Tan? You can’t be with her 24/7.” “David is the one they wanted!” Daniel screamed so loudly that Brigid, in the next room, woke with a startled cry. “I’m sick of watching my back! If history serves me, Ares, your sexual prowess has gone down as one of the most notable. You were always fucking something. You still are.” Ares laughed and licked his lips. “Perhaps she is a bit like her Old Man.” He leaned forward. “The thought of her with him sickens you as much as the thought of her with me does. David did something terrible to her, something unforgivable. Just as I did. Yet she will overlook this if she has to. She knows something is wrong here, something is amiss but she cannot figure out what it is. She has been unable to reach you here, I imagine when you leave your cell phone will reflect many calls from her.” Ares warned as he watched Daniel rise. “Because of this and the fact that you saw Callestah for who she is, then Calla fears she has angered you and she knows David can deliver on dominating her. He can be her Master where you cannot. He has your face, your eyes, your hands and even your cock,” he taunted. “But he’s not you.” “I can’t do it because I’m too weak, right?” “No because you love her, I do believe that Daniel. She also loves you and it is damn near impossible to make love with the same man who doles out punishment. Her mind is weak and in this way she believes she has it all. One to hurt and one to heal.” “You’re sick. This entire situation is demented!” Daniel put Excalibur back in the case. He couldn’t believe that she was in his bed that she was fucking David. Not after everything they’d been through, she wouldn’t throw it all away like that. It was so unreal. Still seeing them in the motel room Daniel cut off the Connection. Daniel Jackson may hold and wield the Sword Excalibur but anyway Ares looked at the ‘demented’ situation he believed his chances of having Callestah as his own were just getting better and better with each passing second. No matter what either Jackson brother did now it was too late. Daniel would bring home a new baby and ask her to open her arms and her heart to it. David would ask her to open her legs to him. If she didn’t comply both of them would force their respective issues until she broke. “Help me get the younger one from the Underworld and you’ll never have to worry about these things again. I swear.” Are promised. “What are you going to do with her?” That was a stupid question. Now that Ares knew a second Callestah existed he was going after her. One so young, one who hadn’t suffered at Kanan’s hands and had nothing to forgive her Father for, perhaps she’d even had yet to feel Eros’ hands holding her down. In a few years she would be grown and ready and Ares would cease being her Father and start being her Lover. That Callestah would give him the race of Warrior Olympians he wanted. “No.” Ares was much surprised. “Why not?” “It will kill her to watch you with a woman who, for all intents and purposes, is her. She turned a blind eye to Enya for years but she never got close to her, did she Ares? Never accepted your Consort as some type of surrogate mother or family.” “What of you? Maybe it’s your pride getting in the way and your eyes that do not wish to look upon me with her.” He taunted. “I’ll sweeten the deal for you, Jackson. Word has it the Others want to leave this planet now that their presence is known. Help me get her and I will take her away from this planet and never come back. You will have Calla all to yourself.” Making pacts with the devil. The deal was too good to be anything else. “What do I have to do?” Once Ares was out of the way, Daniel would steam roll over David. He’d give him his money and boot him the hell out of their lives. As far as Daniel knew David didn’t know about the house in Scotland so he’d take her and the baby there for as long as it took for all of it blow over. For Calla to accept Brigid and David to find something else to get his rocks off. “I’ll let you know. Go on Jackson, take Brigid and go home.” Victory. One so much grander than he’d ever anticipated danced in front of his onyx eyes and just out of his grasp. Jackson would bring the other one from the Underworld and he would walk away with at least one. In the end, if he played his cards right, Ares might walk away from this planet with both them. He’d always wanted two of them! “Go on your wife needs you.” He was almost salivating at the thoughts running through his head. “So does your daughter. I’ll send Brigids’ things later.” No more talk, no more thinking about this. Daniel went into Ares’ bedroom and snatched his crying daughter from the crib. “We’ll be back. This isn’t over.” Daughter in one hand and bags in the other Daniel went to leave. “Oh, no, not by far, Jackson. It’s not over.” Ares watched them disappear from his domain. “Yes you’ll be back very soon and when you do, I’ll have everything.” End Chapter Eight Of This story and all stories in the Barters N Garters Library are copyrighted to Lisa Beth Darling these stories
