The Daughters of Sovereignty
Chapter One
Roselia
Hera's rage towards other women was normally silent and swift. She never voiced anything and held it inside. There was always one daughter in each generation that had Hera's lost voice. However, none had used the voice so slowly the rage is building inside the next daughter.
Roselia Harris strolled down the hallway of Turney H.S. so she could get to her music class. As she quickly went by teachers, would wave and ask her how she was. Today Roselia had no time to stop and chat for a few seconds she was behind. Her social studies teacher, Mr. Richards, kept her after class and wouldn't give her a note so now she has to run for it. Roselia finally made it to her music class and right when she walked in the bell rang. She sighed with relief and made her way to her seat so she could begin her exciting day of singing. Singing was her passion and she's always had a good voice. At school she was always picked for the solos or other important role's and everyone loved her. Because of her great voice, she's won the school every school wide music competition they've entered her in and she was going to state that weekend so this week was all about practice. "Hello Ms. Harris," Roselia's young music teacher sung. Roselia like Mrs. Bat because she was so kind and sweet to everyone.
"Hello Mrs. Bat. How was your day?" Roselia responded kindly as she gently got in her spot to lead the chorus into their song they would sing for the competition. Roselia's long black hair had blue highlights and reached down to her mid back. Her bright green eyes seemed to brighten the room and her smile was warm and welcoming. She was wearing a white button up shirt and blue casual pants. Her skin held a stunning tan complection. Mrs. Bat just smiled and nodded in response to her question and sat at the piano so they could begin the practice.
Class went by quickly and soon the bell rung for everyone to go home. Roselia looked sadly at the room as she left reluctantly wishing she could just stand in there and sing all of the time. "Rose!" Roselia turned around quickly and saw her best friends running over to her.
"Hey Hope, hey Nao," Roselia said with one of her famous heart warming smiles. Hope had mid back red hair pulled back into a ponytail and light skin. She had beautiful emerald eyes that seemed like they held a secret. She was always wearing a turtleneck shirt with the collar and shoulder parts cut off with a long skirt with a slit on one side and with buckle up boots that almost went all the way up to her knees. Naomi on the other hand had short blonde hair that graced her perfect shoulders. She also had onyx eyes with the shape that orients normally have. She always wore some dress with little fuzzes on them or something cute. Naomi gave Roselia a big hug when she reached her and just smiled. Naomi was the head cheerleader even though her real interest is in playing football and Naomi has led her squad to many victories. Hope on the other hand wasn't much into school stuff so she just focuses on her guitar. They wanted to form a band together but the only problem is that they were no good a putting together songs or coming up with the instrumentals or anything.
"So when do you think we'll get ourselves someone who can write music?" Naomi asked as they began to walk home. Roselia just shrugged her shoulders and Hope didn't seem to be paying much attention.
"Hey there Roselia, Hope," a deep voice from the side came out. Next to them driving slowly was Barry, Naomi's stepbrother.
"Go away no one wants you here," Naomi said snapping at him. Barry glared at her and Naomi gave one back eventually Barry just gave up which honestly was a smart idea. Before Barry drove off he winked over at Roselia and Hope. After he left the two of them pretended to gag.
"That was gross," Hope stated matter-of-factly. Roselia and Naomi burst out laughing at the comment and soon they were in front of the apartments Roselia lived at.
"See you two later," Roselia said as she headed down the stairs to her lower leveled home. She unlocked the door and went right on in, "mom I'm home!" Her mother was just sitting in front of the television asleep. Roselia sighed and began to make dinner. Ever since her father left her she had to take care of herself and her mother. Her mother was blind and had a hard time with things but she always tried. Roselia tried to hold in a laugh as she remembered the time when her mother tried to cook a cake for her birthday. Roselia loved her even though she has to do all the work. She didn't mind she was actually happy to do it because she knew that if she didn't then her mother would and everything would turn out for the worst.
The weekend finally arrived and Roselia boarded the bus to go to the state competition in Hollywood. It wasn't a long drive but it was long enough to let her sleep for a little bit. When she got there and off the bus a wave of fear rushed over her and she shivered. Something wasn't right she felt it in her bones. "Hey Roselia don't be getting nervous now!" One of her classmates called out and Roselia could only nod in return.
'Something bad is going to happen but I don't know what or why,' she thought cautiously and decided to remain alert. They won the competition easily and now were on their way home. When they got there Roselia began to walk home alone at night. People offered her a ride home but she refused all of them. Roselia took a deep breath and looked up at the cloudy nighttime sky. The stars twinkled and she smiled. She loved the beauty of nature. The same wave of fear as earlier came rushing again and Roselia looked around completely alert. After a few minutes she calmed down and continued walking sure it was nothing.
"Hey Roselia or should I say goddess," Roselia turned around to see who said it but they were concealed by the shadows. She couldn't stop shaking nor could she say anything. The person emerged from the shadows and her eyes went wide.
"Sledge?" Roselia said with a great amount of surprise. Sledge just smiled at her and suddenly she was surrounded. "Who are you? What do you want?" Roselia demanded to know as she began to panic more and more.
"You Roselia. You see you are a goddess. A daughter of Hera and we must exterminate you." Roselia's eyes went wide and she ran. She ran until she thought she couldn't run no more and she slammed into something. She didn't have time to react when she hit the ground hard and all had gone black.
