(A/N) Ello! This chapter will reveal a big milestone in the story! Thanks to everyone who's read up to here and anyone who has, favorited, alerted or reviewed my story. Remember…a band is nothing without its fans and a fanfic author is nothing without her readers! You guys are awesome!

The only private conversations I ever get are with Kabe. I don't think my mom knows I can talk with Kabe and Kabe has promised that she wouldn't repeat any part of our conversations but I couldn't talk with Kabe in front of mom. My mother me a final glare and strolled out the doorway (Did you know that Hecate is the also the goddess of protecting youth? Very ironic considering I've seen her turn a couple of kids into guinea pigs before). I was almost overjoyed when Hecate left the room…almost, until Kabe spoke up that is.

How could you be so reckless? Kabe scolded.

"The thing that I've been dreaming about was in the basement!"

The gem?

"Yeah."

That you believe is yours?

"Yup."

Why is it in the basement then?

"Because Hecate stole it," I whined. I probably sounded like a 6-year-old instead of a 14-year-old but Kabe was not cooperating. She still looked unconvinced. "Hey, you're the one who told me that a demigod's dream is worth more than gold," I pointed out, "And I know it's down there…I saw it!"

Well, what are you going to do? Kabe whimpered.

"…I'm going to leave." I said in a low and serious voice. I had thought about this when Hecate was telling me (for, like, the hundredth time) that I was born to serve Kronos, born to become…his body. I may have been born to serve him but I'm not going to live that way. I wanted freedom now more than ever. If I succeeded in escaping the island I would gain sweet freedom but…what would I lose? I would lose the only real friend that I've had for the 14 years of my life. I was already starting to feel grief stricken just by thinking about it. I loved Kabe more than anything it was hard to imagine going on without her. Leaving her to once again be a slave of Hecate.

Kabe bowed her head. Then I will go with you. She said solemnly. I smiled…for the first time in, like, what? A week, a month, a year? Just knowing that Kabe will be with me made it feel like everything was going to be ok, and it will ok. Me and Kabe are going to travel out to the sea and swim (or boat) to that place…what is it called…the land of the free? Oh! America! Or if we take a wrong turn we could end up in Mexico (I heard that that place isn't as good).

I filled with excitement just thinking about. Me and Kabe exploring the mainland! I could start my real life and with Kabe as my familiar! There was only one thing left to do.

"Pack your bags!"
