I Meet a Misty Lady for 5 Seconds

Hazellyn

I was happily walking on the shoreline of Ogygia. The water splashed my feet as I walked across the beach. I looked to where my favorite tree was. It was on the farthest hill from here. I was going to bask in its presence but it wasn't there.

What the Hades?! I looked around and saw that little minor things were also missing. The big boulder that is on the cliff wasn't there and so was the pine tree.

I dried my feet and went to my house. I opened the door to the welcoming sound of music. Just by being in the house I already had the feeling to dance.

"Sweetie? Are you alright?" My mom asked. She was in the kitchen making lunch.

"Huh? Oh, yeah," I responded to her while sitting on the couch.

She sighed and gracefully made her way to me and sat down. She looked at me and said," Spill."

I sighed and said," Mom, have you been seeing anything, I don't know, unnatural around here?"

She started to think and said, "Now to mention it, I have been seeing some really odd stuff. Would disappearing be odd enough for you?"

"Exactly. I have a feeling that ever since Calypso left, things have been disappearing."

My mom nodded. Who is my mom? Well, my mom is Terpsichore, the nymph of dancing. So even being around her makes you want to dance. We now live in Ogygia because when my mom married Daniel, my dad, the mortal, we were mocked for shame. Grover, the head of the council, and Juniper, his girlfriend, tried to stop them from banishing us, but nothing could be done. So, we were banished from the main land to Ogygia.

Here we are now. Alone on this island. Just me and my mom. We have been living like two happy little people. Which we are!

ON WITH THE STORY!

"If this keeps happening, then we might have to leave or find a way out," Mom said.

I nodded. "Well, then," My mom said, "Let's start packing."

We both stated to pack when I heard a voice.

"I will get you…" It was a small voice. It was just a little mere whisper. But that voice held power, anger, force, and sent a chill down your spine. The voice I heard when I was a child. It always haunted me.

"Who goes there," I said out to the open. I repeated, "Who goes there." In the kitchen, I heard a crash of pans and plates. I ran into the kitchen to find my mom on the ground.

I gasped, "Mother…" I said quietly. I bent down to help her. But once I was on my knees, her eyes snapped open. "Mom! Are you OK?" I asked her. She turned to me, eyes pitch black. Her eyes looked like endless holes to oblivion.

I shifted back, "Mom?"

"Your mother is weakening," But the voice that responded was not my mothers. It was the same voice haunting me.

"Gone? She can't be weakening. Either that less people are believing in her, the gods are doing something or… oh no… mom… MOM… MOM! ARE YOU THERE?" I yelled frantically trying to get my sword but realizing that it isn't there.

"She won't be answering you anytime soon, child. You were never liked anyways. So what's the point in living?"

"I have a reason in life and even though people never liked me, I shall keep living!"

"Living? Who said you had to die?"

"Didn't… you… just say that-"

"No. I did not you foolish child. I'll just eat your soul."

The thing got out of my mother and she collapsed. "MOM!" The thing jumped at me and I blacked out.

I gained consciousness and tried to open my eyes. I saw a misty lady that I have never seen before.

"It has gotten worse. For He is back."

Then, I blacked out again.

HI! I live! Merry Christmas! This could count as your present people! How do you like the beginning? Good? Bad? Neither? Well, review because they make me happy! Sorry if this is short. I'll try to make them longer. That reminds me, tell me how you think if I should make it longer, shorter, or keep it the same way. Have a great day!
