Chapter 2

Change of point of view: 3ed person view

The sea is calm again. Triton, son of the great sea-god Poseidon, was sent out by his father to survey the damage his uncle Zeus has done to their domain. He sighs. To be honest, the childish behaviour of his uncle annoys him… and the other gods. Because of it, his father and himself have more work to do. Like in incidences like this, in his rage his uncle shoot an airplane and it crashed into the sea.

He finally arrives at the crash side. There is destruction everywhere. The plane is destroyed and in pieces, the reef is crushed and there are dead mortals and sea life all around.

The possible worst thing though is, that the water around the plane is contaminated with oil and plane fuel.

Triton sighs again and begins to clean the water with his powers.

Suddenly, there is movement inside the plane and since it gains his attention he decides to investigate.

He is surprised at what he finds. There, inside of an intact part of the plane, is a small girl, alive and struggling to get out. The girl seems to be about five or six years old and has long brown hair.

Something tells him that she is special, that she is needed and that he should, no, needs to save her from imminent death. The feeling puzzles him, but he decides to think about it later and right now, save the girl.

He quickly grabs her and she towards him. Her ocean blue eyes filled with panic and fear, capture him immediately and are practically begging him to help her. He takes her into his arms and dashes to the surface.

As they break through the water, she gasps for air, between tears and sobs of fear. She is struggling to calm herself down… then again, how do you calm yourself down in such a situation. She faints.

Triton looks at the unconscious girl in his arms and doesn't really know what to do with her now. He supposes, that he should just leave her at the next shore and maybe call his cousin Apollo to take a look at her. Because of reasons he doesn't know and understands, he wants to make sure that the girl is going to be alright.

As they arrive at the shore, he lays her gently down onto the beach and then Isis-messages his cousin.

The picture of Apollo, who is inside his sun carriage… or sun car, appears in the mist Triton created.

"Hey, Triton! Long time no see! What's up?", he grins.

Triton sighs, not understanding how Apollo could always so energetic: "Greetings Apollo."

"Oh, come on! You're always so serious!"

"Apollo, I need your help. I just rescued a little girl, and she is unconscious now", he continues as if Apollo said nothing.

Apollos face falls: "What?! What happened?!"

"Plane crash, because of your father."

"Oh, erm, I can't come right now, so… you need to do it the mortal way."

Triton groans. He hates interacting with mortals.

"Sorry", Apollo apologizes sheepishly. "I will take a look at her later though if that's what you want."

Triton nods: "Thank you." He makes the mist disappear, disconnecting the message to Apollo.

Triton sighs again, rubbing his temples. He looks at the girl. This is going to be a long day…

Later: Change of point of view: Sally's point of view

I wake up in a bed, connected to a machine, that monitors my heartbeat and blood pressure.

Before I have a chance to gather myself, the door opens and a doctor comes in, a clipboard in his hand and a stethoscope around his neck. He has tan skin, blond hair, shining like gold and sky-blue eyes with small wrinkles around them. Probably from smiling. He is quite handsome, if I say so.

"I see you're awake, sweetie", he smiles and the whole room lights up.

I stay silent and just stare at him in wonder. Why? Well, he is glowing… literally… He emits a golden shine, like the Fates.

He isn't human, is he? But… if he isn't, what is he? Who is he? Can I trust him? Or is he a danger to me?

Change of point of view: Apollo's point of view

After Triton messaged me, my smile drops. I sigh: "She is finally here… The one that can change everything."

Frowning, I think about what to do now. A few months prior, I was visited by the Fates, who told me that someone special will arrive soon.

I was confused and asked them why they told me. They answered, that I was to meet her and will know what I was to do.

Then they vanished, leaving me to think about it. I decided to just wait and see, as I now days often do.

The moment Triton told me, he just rescued a girl, I knew it was her, the being the Fates told me about. Why else would Triton, a mortal hater, rescue a mortal girl. No, she has to be the one.

I change my sun carriage to auto drive, or better fly, and flash to my temple at Mount Olympus to get something. After I was visited by the Fates, I asked my brother Hephaistos to make a necklace.

The necklace is just a simple pendant with an engraved sun on one side and an Eta on the other, to sign it as Hephaistos work. I blessed it with a small protection and healing spell, since I don't know if the being would need any sort of protection and it's better be save, than be sorry.

I get the necklace and leave to meet the girl.

The girl is already awake as I enter her hospital room. I smile at her: "I see you're awake, sweetie."

She doesn't answer but stares at me, slightly tilting her head like a confused puppy. She is really cute with her wavy, brown hair and her big, blue eyes. And she has small freckles around a small, cute button nose.

I disguised myself as a doctor, so I could check on her without raising suspicion. But even if I would get noticed, the mist would make it seem like I'm a doctor working in this hospital.

"What are you?", her voice brings me back to reality.

I look at her perplexed but then smile: "I think you mean 'Who are you?'. My name is Fred and I'm your doctor." I sit down in the uncomfortable chair next to her bed. She continues to stare at me.

"She is a weird one…", I think to myself, shaking my head. "Do you remember what happened?", I ask, and she almost immediately shakes her head.

"What are you?", she asks again.

Looking at her puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Humans don't glow, so what are you?"

My eyes widen: "She is able to see my godly aura! But how? How is that possible?! Not even demigods are able to see it! What is she?!"

She sighs, bringing my attention back to her: "Never mind…"

Then she turns her head away from me, muttering: "Maybe I hit my head… Yeah, I must have hit my head."

She turns back to me and gives me a bright simile, while holding her hand out to me: "My name is Sally. Nice to meet you Mr. Fred!"

Now I stare at her: "She is really something different… I really should keep an eye on her."

Even though my initial plan was to just give her the necklace and then leave her be, since I would know if something would happen to her because of it, but she is just far to interesting to leave her alone and thus, I decide to stay with her.

I smile and take her hand: "Nice to meet you too, Sally."

Large timeskip: 3rd person point of view

It has been years since that happened. Sally was the only survivor of the crash, which many believe to be a miracle. The reason as to why the plane crashed is still unknown to the mortal world. They believe, that the plane was hit by a few lightnings but there was no sign of a thunderstorm in that area.

Sally was taken in by her uncle Rich, since her parents died with the other passengers. Uncle Rich often didn't have time to take care of her but that didn't bother her too much because she was basically an adult in a children's body.

She finished school two years early. After that, she took odd jobs to save up for what she knew to come. Even though the original Sally didn't have the best relationship with her uncle, she did. She was devastated by his death, even if she knew it would happen. What changed is that our Sally now is neither alone nor had no money.

She has many friends. But her best friends are two boys: Lester and his "older" half-brother Aron. At least that are the names they told her when they first met. But she pretty much immediately knew that they are gods. It took her some time to figure out who they were, but she did. They are Apollo and Hermes. Apollo was easier than Hermes since she knew him longer. Apollo pretty much didn't leave her side after that day in the hospital, though to not let it seem weird that an adult hangs' around a five-year-old he decided to introduce himself again as the 'son' of the 'doctor' who took care of her.

Hermes got curious as to where his favourite brother disappears to and followed him one day and met the ten-year-old Sally. He was taken by her at first sight.

She was scared to tell them, that she has them figured out, since she didn't want anything to change between them but one day she slipped and they found out, she knew. They were surprised at first but then were relieved that they didn't need to lie to her anymore.

A year after the death of her uncle, she began to travel, an idea Hermes gave her. Both, Apollo and Hermes visit her whenever they can without raising too much suspicion by the other gods and goddesses. Though, a few of them know of her or met her one way or another without those two knowing.

Right now, Sally's travels lead her to a very specific beach: Montauk.

Here is the second chapter of this story. I hope you like it. It might take some time for me to finish the third one because I had those two laying around for months but I'm working in it.

This story is going to follow our ‚new' Sally Jackson, who is much more involved than the other and there are going to be some major changes but I will follow the guideline of the books. So, if you know it, I most likely don't own it but even if you know the characters, I might change them a little bit to fit into this story.
