Soulless
How can you be in love, when you don't have a soul?
Jessica's P.O.V
"I need a favour." The voice boomed. The mighty god shrinking to a 6 foot man.
"I need a favour." He repeated, in a regular voice now.
"Why?" I ask, staring dully at him, "You took me away from me."
To this he holds out a blue, glowing orb. My soul. My eyes widen slightly, but otherwise I show no other sign of emotion. I can't.
"So, we have a deal? Your soul, for just a small favour."
I nod, I can't remember what it feels like to… well… feel.
He shakes my hand, and presses the blue orb to my chest.
"Good luck, I'll let you know when I need your help."
As he leaves, I'm struck. I scream, overwhelmed with emotion. Sudden wind blows around me, filled with memories and feelings. My hair whips my face and I feel pain, I feel! I FEEL! I laugh, I haven't laughed in years. For once I'm happy. I'm back, I've got a soul, and I've got a life. I collapse to the ground.
"Thank you." I say to the sky. In the distance angry thunder rumbles, but I don't care. Jessica Chase is back, baby.
Lily's P.O.V
I pick my way through the rubble, tears pricking my eyes as the ruins of the Apollo cabin crunch under my feet.
"I'm sorry." My best friend Skye says, giving me a tight squeeze, and I smile gratefully.
I hear the trotting of hooves before I see him. I turn to smile at Chiron, the one person, or centaur, who can make me feel better, but I'm greeted with something that's never made me feel worse. He looks at me, dread in his eyes, all hope drained from them.
"Girls get inside. Now." Chiron says. I've never seen him so grave before. I send a questioning look at Skye, who shrugs, and head inside. Once all the demigods are settled Chiron starts to speak. "I'm afraid I have some grave news. The Lightning Thief is back."
Gasps travel through the crowd, and the murmurs get louder. "I thought Luke was gone?" I whispered to Skye.
"Me too."
"Please settle down. It is not Luke. Unfortunately, Luke passed on 15 years ago today. This person, is a mystery, leaving behind nothing, but a single blue orb, painted on the walls of Olympus. Please, do not spread rumours. Stay safe, do not trust anyone outside of these walls, or anyone you find suspicious. Thank you."
As people begin to filter out of the grand hall, Skye mutters to me, "Who do you think it is?"
"I honestly have no clue, I want to talk to Chiron though. He and my father are close. He might tell me some more things, I'll keep you posted."
"You better!" Skye winks, and joins the rest of the demigods in leaving the hall.
I approach Chiron closely.
"Ah, Lily. I was wondering when you would question me." He turns, a kind smile on his face, but his eyes don't twinkle the way they usually do.
"What's-"
"Going on?" He asks for me. "You are," he chuckles sarcastically, "on a quest I mean. The oracle has given out a new prophecy. There's a new seven."
I gulp in fear. A quest? My dad has never been on one and neither have I, and quite frankly I would like to keep it that way.
"You must not tell anyone this information, which includes Skye."
I nod. "I understand."
"We'll announce the other 6 and your quest next week, try not to get killed until then."
"I'll try." I laugh nervously, and go outside to look for Skye.
Unknown P.O.V
You're falling right into my trap, Chiron." I spit.
"Hades will prevail, and you and all of Olympus will fall."
