Chapter 2

Kassidy POV

I was tired, more so than usual. I pulled the blanket further into my chest and snuggled into my pillow, thankful for the comfort of a bed…

Wait… bed? I thought frantically, as I fell to the floor in panic. I was in a strange room, lined with book shelves and bottles with God-knows-what in them. I crawled backwards and hit the leg of the bed I was in. I started to hyperventilate, flashbacks of the previous day going through my mind.

"Hey little girl, want to play?"

"She's so small and breakable… this will be fun."

"How long have you been on the streets? Not long I bet, or you would know never to come to this side of town."

"She's a little small for me, but you can have her John."

There vial voices stuck in my head. I was terrified and scared, afraid of what was going to happen. Then a voice appeared that was a light amongst the darkness.

"Hey, break it up! Get lost!"

"Are you okay? Do you need help?"

Then blank, I couldn't remember anything till now. I started to cry.

"Hey, its okay, its okay! You're safe!" The same voice as before said to me. However instinct kicked in and I backed up further into the side of the bed.

"Wh-Who are you?" I managed to say due to the lump in my throat.

"I'm Hermes, pleased to meet you!" He said energetically.

"Hermes?" I questioned, face scrunched up. He wore a toga, pilot's hat with goggles, and shoes which had wings on them. It was them that I noticed that his feet weren't touching the ground. "As in Hermes the immortal messenger to the Gods? God of travel, communication, language…" I was willing to believe anything at this point.

"Yep that's me! I'm surprised that you knew all of that, not many people do." He said still flying in the air. "And you're Kassidy right?"

"Yeah, but how did you… wait, God right?" Correction: I was going to believe anything at this point.

"You got it!"

"So… what am I doing here? And thanks, by the way, for the save last night, that was you right?" I laughed nervously.

"Well, it's kinda hard to explain. And yes it was me who saved you last night." Without warning, I jumped up and tackled in into a hug. That's all I needed to hear for me to trust him.

"Wow you are taking this really well!" Hermes said once I let him go.

I shrugged "I've seen weirder. But why am I here?"

"I believe I can answer that." A voice said from behind me.

Once I turned around I saw that it was an older looking woman wearing a white toga with blue accents.

"Child, my name is Hera." I shook her hand.

"As in Hera, immortal Goddess and wife to Zeus?"

"You know your Greek mythology well." She said. "You are here because this is where the Gods reside, in a secret wing of a school, known to very little. After Hermes found you he brought you here, where we treated your wounds and discovered your abilities." I cringed away from her a little.

"Be not afraid Kassidy, we will not harm you like so many others have done, you are safe here." She soothed. "But as I was saying, once we found out about your abilities, we also found out a little more…"

"…Which is?" I asked

"According to my calculations, you are the descendant of Thanatos and Asclepius." Hermes added.

"…Wait…What?" I asked.

Hera sighed. "Come with me, child. Hermes if you could call the others and bring them here, tell them to meet in the gym." Hermes nodded and flew off without a second thought.

I followed her into a room, filled with plants and trees, and animals. She motioned for me to sit on a couch in the middle of the room.

"Have you heard of the God Cronus?" She asked me.

"He's the God of time right?" I replied.

"Correct. Tell me Kassidy how do you know so much about mythology?" Hera questioned.

"Well… I'm kind of a book nerd, and I always liked mythology and folk lore. So I would always read about it." I replied honestly, a slight blush creeping up on my child-like face.

"Good, this will help."

"Help what?" I asked.

"You see Kassidy, Cronus has escaped from Tartarus. And the Oracle has prophesied seven descendents of heroes will be his down fall. The God's are here in a secret wing of this school to be close to these mortals and to keep them safe."

"So am I one of these heroes's?" I asked, confused.

"No you are not; however, you are a descendent of two very powerful immortals and have very extraordinary powers yourself. The God's believe that you could be helpful to the team, and considering that you have no where to go we would give you a place to stay." Hera explained.

"W.O.W" Was all I said.

"I know it's a lot to take in…"

"So who are my ancestors again?" I interrupted.

"Thanatos and Asclepius. The bringer of Death, and the God of healing. A very odd combination for ancestors, but considering your powers…" she stopped.

"Yeah, seeing ghosts and healing people are quite opposite. Those scientists really played God, with me." I said sadly. "They can't find me here right?"

"No they cannot. We will protect you from them. Was there anybody else with you when you left that place?" Hera asked.

"I left about two weeks ago. I and another girl escaped, but she decided to try and make it back home and see her family. I haven't heard from her." My eyes glossed over and I realized that I was crying.

"So you're asking my help to fight the God of time?" I said, going back on topic and trying to distract myself from the pain.

"Not physically. You are not one of the seven, so you could be seriously venerable. But what we are asking is that you use your healing powers, and the wide knowledge base that you have to help the team in the event that they get hurt or injured. We also want to help you with your abilities, so Chiron and Persephone will be your mentors, if you choose to stay." She was giving me a choice, and I knew right away what my answer was.

"Anything I can do, I want to help with!" I said eagerly.

"Well the first thing I want you to do is meet the team. Come with me." I followed her, like an expectant puppy, excited for what was about to happen in the first chapter of my new life.

A/N: Short I know, but I want to keep the suspense going! I promise it will get better! Sorry it's a little cliffy.
