So I have not stuck to the two weeks thing. Sorry. School loves piling on work, and I love completing it.

I hope this is okay, having a bit of issues with that block we all hate.

I own Saphire. And the plot, if I remember it all.


Over the following days my friends started to be wary, treating me as a bomb that is expected to go off at any time. I couldn't blame them for it though, every little thing annoyed me to no ends and I normally ended up snapping at people over nothing. I tried to apologize each time it happened, but others were not so forgiving of my actions. Though it hurt a little, I still had the other girls, and that helped some. But the new information was still hard to absorb.

This led me to locking myself in my dorm room, hiding from the world in case more harm was inflicted because of me. I'd never focused on school so much before; though Glacia kept telling me that Bloom was worried, as were the others. I ignored her words.

Nico tried to talk to me a few times. I appreciated him trying after how rude I were before, my beliefs I had known over ruled and trust wasn't able to form. I always thought over our attempts at conversation during the night, smirking over the arguments and insults thrown at one another. I actually liked those arguments, it gave both of us a chance to let out frustration without too much bodily harm.

But that wasn't the worst that the truth caused, it brought very strange dreams to mind. One of them involved a game of tug-of-war with me being the rope between my real Father and the fake, Mother just watched. Then when Zeus won I was suddenly forbidden to ever see my friends again, and forced to interact with the enemy. But the people I knew as the enemies, and still are in a way, what do I call them now? Are they my family? It was all too confusing. Other dreams involved abuse now that I'm half fairy and god, as well as rejection and hate. I didn't want to be a half-breed; many stories were told of them and the sins they committed.

These dreams brought many thoughts and questions to my mind, as well as efficiently keeping me up basically all night. Glacia did try to help with that, but it didn't always work and more often than not I ended waking up in fear.

I did listen to my friends, when we were in the same room together. Seeing them all still there to support me helped, showed me that not all people hate half-breeds. It also brought a smile on my face, when we just talked was good and Nico occasionally joined us along with some of the boys. That made Bloom and Stella's day, seeing both Brandon and Sky. Musa and Riven's petty arguments were rather funny in my eyes and often excused myself to laugh without them overhearing.

It was in one of those times my dreams were brought up. That was honestly my fault, they finally learned of the lack of sleep the truth brought when Techna became a temporary pillow. I'm pretty sure they laughed while I dozed and only laughed harder when startled awake. So it was with a sigh I told them of the dreams.

"Saph, you should get something then, you can't keep not sleeping!" That was Bloom's worried voice.

"A lack of sleep can cause serious health issues you know?" Techna was once again speaking the facts, and sadly it was logical.

They bantered back and forth for a while, all of them. It caused me to sigh, I were fine weren't I? Eventually they bullied me into agreeing with an idea of Flora's. Her idea was rather simple; just drink whatever it was she gave me. I felt awful about it though, feeling as if I were becoming a pest. I didn't want to become a pest to the only people that talked to me anymore. Maybe the reason I was so snappish was with the lack of sleep? It would make some sense.

That night after the tea Flora made for me, I found that it worked no better than having nothing. So I awoke once more in the dead of night and wandered to the window. I opened it to let in some breeze and just looked out.

I had been wondering lately if I should go see my real Father, but what would I say? "Hey you, yes you obnoxious dude, I am talking to you. Well anyways, hi, apparently you are my real Father? Care to explain why the heck you are attacking my planet now? And don't expect me to apologize for attacking you guys. All my life I was told you were the enemy. And you killed plenty of my friends while doing so! So anyways, Nico says I should get to know you. I don't see why I should bother, after all you are only a stuck up idiot." I snorted, yep, that'll go down well. I could already see him blowing me up and leaving the ashes left to drift upon the wind.

Maybe someone could help me? Nico would, he seems adamant to return back to the camp he mentioned during one of our arguments with me. But this time I needed the help of someone older. Maybe Headmistress Faragonda could help? It was worth a try.

I grabbed my robe and put it on quickly, closing the window as quietly as possible. I snuck out and quickly looked around before walking the corridors towards her office, hoping that she would still be within.

I got there as she was walking out, and sighed in relief. "Ms. Faragonda!" She turned around and looked a tad surprised. I bit my lip, maybe I shouldn't have come? I shrugged and continued speaking, "Ms. Faragonda, please may I speak to you? I need some advice." I watched her and relaxed as there was a nod and she entered her office again, me following.

"What is it Saphire?"

I took a deep breath; she is smart and probably able to help. "Um... Well... I kinda found at the truth and I'm just wondering what on earth to do?" Well that sounded lame. I didn't even come here with an idea what to ask, only to not have any idea what to say. I truly am dumb. She seemed confused, so I explained with a bit of hesitation about the predicament now before me. Lies, when they are uncovered as such, so much is lost. Trust. Beliefs. Now what?

"Hmm..." The headmistress clasped her hands on the desk between us, thoughtful. "Have you talked to your Mother and Step-Father?" A nod. "Then talk to your real Father."

I started to nod, then blinked and stared. "How will that help? I'm his enemy, he is mine!" But was he? Nothing made sense anymore.

"The conflict between your realms could be an issue. Well disregard it and so see him. If Zeus is your Father, he is not your enemy any more. Your own realm is not your enemy either. You are in neutral ground dear, unable to commit to either side without feeling awful for the other." Maybe she knew too much, but her theory was right. It made more sense and cleared up some confusion in my mind. I'm neutral, unable to fight for wither side. Life suddenly appeared easier.

"That actually makes sense." A small smile played upon my face for a minute. "I might do that, thank you Ms F."

"Anytime, Saphire. Now go sleep child." With a wave of her hand I was dismissed. I took my leave quickly. It did make sense to talk to him, and Ms. Faragonda is smart so it would make sense to heed her word. I turned to head outside, deciding now would be as good a time as any to face the threat of imminent death.

With very depressing thoughts, and constant yawns now I weren't thinking too hard, I left the Alfea grounds and headed off to where the Gods and their offspring resided. Earth, more importantly, Olympus.
