"Ah well, Viola, Orpheus, Sam, and Sirith are all out. Oh, plus Eris. It's just you, me, and Jacin right now," said Giovanna. "Now for Entry... I'm not really sure, we haven't heard from him in awhile."
Naomi sighed and sunk lower in the couch. What were they going to do now? Where was Entry? Where was the rest of the emotions for that matter? Giovanna looked around the room with a bored expression.
"Wanna look around the house?"

[Orpheus]
He snickered to himself. "You? Hurt me?"
Viola's face flushed as she turned away from him and began walking. Orpheus turned and faced the beach, wondering if he should go back to get his shoes and t-shirt.
"I told you before," he said, catching up to her. "You worry way too much,"
"Orpheus, listen I-"
He grabbed her hand and kissed her cheek. "No, you listen, stop. Stop having so many what-if moments, okay?"
She nodded her head.
"Oh and you'll never know if I feel the same way about you," he smiled softly. "if you never ask me." Orpheus shoved his hands in his pockets and began walking back to the beach to get his shoes and t-shirt.

Eris smiled maliciously and tossed the apple into the air. "You have to come out sometime, and even if I can't get in there, the power of my apple can."
Our happiness here is all vain glory,
This false world is but transitory,
The flesh is weak, the Fiend is slee
Timor mortis conturbat me.

She watched Orpheus walk towards his shirt on the other end of the beach. She put her hand on her cheeck where his lips had once been. She sighed. She didn't want to hurt Oprheus, she didn't want to get hurt. She wanted him to be the one so bad that she was convincing herself he wasn't. It would just be easier to avoid the whole situation.
But she didn't want to. She was confused and frustrated now. Instead of running after him and jumping into his arms like she wanted to Viola walked back to the house and got into bed. She fell asleep still confused and frustrated.
All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, and I promise you something great will come of it.
He didn't turn back around to see if Viola had left or followed. Oddly enough, no one was on the beach with him, it was totally deserted. Orpheus quickly grabbed his things and slipped on his shirt.
Not only was the beach deserted, but so was the streets. It looked like the houses were too. What was going on? Orpheus ran the rest of the way to the house, he climbed up the wall and up to his room.
"What are you doing?" asked Giovanna from the stairs.
Orpheus shrugged his shoulders and threw his shoes on the floor. "Havin' fun? What's up?"
"Naomi's here, the real one this time."
The siblings exchanged smiles before going their seperate ways.

**wha...? oh gotcha. Right! I'm on it!**
**by the way... it's really long, sorry!**
[Sirith]
Sirith managed to distract himself ,I'm holding her hand!, and get back to what was going on.
"Zeus, I came to ask you..." he began.
But Zeus interrupted him, "I know why you've come." Sirith waited for a moment, becoming impatient. He smothered the feeling immediately, he couldn't lose it now.
"Er Right. Well, can you answer me?" He said as politely as possible, hoping the strain wasn't showing in his voice.
"Not unless you ask," Zeus stated, face serious.
I would have if you hadn't interrupted! "I need to know if rage is all I am, all I can be," he asked, biting his lip to keep back a sharp retort.
"I think you know the answer to that," Zeus murmured, his intense eyes resting on Sam.
Sirith's rage flared, Why don't you just tell me?!, but he let out a slow breath, "I mean will it always control me?"
"That is up to you," Zeus answered, his eyes glinting with some unrecognizable emotion, "But for now, you should go. Eris will be waiting of course, but I can keep her away until you are strong enough to fight her off."
"And I'm not strong enough now," Sirith snapped, why was Zeus making him so angry?
"No. Now go."
Fuming, Sirith turned on his heel. He couldn't recognize why he was mad and it only fueled the rage. Sam drew a hand across the air, summoning a portal. Sirith felt her give his hand a surprised squeeze, and realized his nails were digging into her skin. He withdrew his hold and stepped into the portal.
Behind him, he vaguely heard Zeus mutter, "Good luck... my son."
Sirith turned in shock, but saw only the swirling vortex of the portal, and then their house. They were back, but now Sirith had more questions than ever.
He looked outside his room before closing the door behind him. The clock was ticking and it was almost time, just at the strike of three a portal should open in his room. Letting Entry come back to Earth.
Five... Four... Three... Two... One...
A bright light suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Then it began to grow bigger and bigger until it finally started to dim. Entry was sitting on Orpheus' bed with big smirk on his face.
"Sup," said Orpheus, the same smile on his face.
Entry stood up and stretched, letting his hatred flow like it used to. "It's good to be back, I can't wait to have a little fun like the old days when we were little, eh?"
"Yeah, I'll go get Giovanna,"
"So I suspect your mom got Sirith and Sam out of the house?" asked Entry, opening the door and waiting for Oprheus to get out first. "Make sure no one sees me... yet." he whispered.
Orpheus nodded and looked out. All the emotions including Sirith and Sam were now in the livingroom, all except Viola.

Viola sat up suddenly instantly forgetting the nightmare. She left her room and headed downstairs. As soon as she hit the bottom step her name was called out by at least three voices. She took a step back and stammered, "W-what?"
*Sorry all I got...but now Naomi can see Viola*
All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, and I promise you something great will come of it.
It didn't matter, they had their jobs assigned and they intended to carry them out... No matter what. Entry and Orpheus ran down the stairs and into the living room, but only staying long enough for the other emotions to see them.
Giovanna jumped up and ran after her brother. "Wait!"
But they were to far to hear her. Giovanna whirled around, a shocked expression painted her face. "Was it just me or did you guys see Entry, too?"
Our happiness here is all vain glory,
