I DON'T OWN COTT.

Chapter 11

"You're alive." Jay said hardly believing the words that were coming out of his mouth, but he didn't care he ran over to Theresa pulling her into a hug, Theresa gladly returned the hug, gasping when she heard Jay's thoughts, I can't believe she's alive! This is the happiest day of my life! Theresa couldn't believe it, how had she managed to hear Jay's thoughts, her powers weren't that strong, before she got the answer all of her friends gathered around her hugging her, and she could hear all their thoughts at the same time,

So drama queen lives on.

I can't believe my best friend is awake

Ewww I'm technically hugging a zombie!

I'm going to have to ask her what happened so I can document it!

I'm hungry.

Theresa gasped covering her ears crying, "Make it stop!" the pain in her head was excruciating, everyone backed away from her except Jay who took her hand.

"Theresa what's wrong?"

Ah some things never change. Archie's thoughts came a moment later; Theresa shot him an evil look.

"Theresa, are you alright?" Chiron asked, walking through the door, with Persephone and Ariadne following her.

"She is alive!" Persephone said tears falling from her eyes.

But she seems so different. She thought to herself.

So it wasn't poison… Ariadne thought to herself.

Theresa couldn't deal with the thoughts anymore they were causing her such a headache, "could you all please stop thinking?" Theresa asked resting her head against the pillow.

"Um why?" Neil asked, though he didn't stop thinking, but all his thoughts were about himself which made it even worse.

"Because I can hear your thoughts! Clear as a bell!" Theresa said getting annoyed, all of their thoughts were starting to get on her nerves, especially Archie's, all he was thinking about was how much of a drama queen she was.

"You can hear our thoughts?" Persephone asked kneeling down beside her, "without touching anyone's head?"

"No it's clear as a bell too, and they're starting to give me a head ache." Theresa said rubbing her temple.

"Strange." Persephone muttered, "Theresa, do you mind if I check something?"

"Um no, I guess not." Theresa said watching as Persephone took Theresa's wrist turning it over and putting two fingers on it, after a moment she nodded, before closing her eyes putting her hand on Theresa's head, as she got a vision, when she opened her eyes she started at Theresa confused.

"Persephone, what is it?" Jay asked, Persephone shook her head, Theresa couldn't wait any longer she focused only on Persephone's thoughts. Trying her best to tune everyone else out.

Theresa's a god…

"What?" Theresa screeched sitting up, "that's impossible!"

"What is?" Jay asked alarmed.

Persephone turned to face Ariadne, "what kind of poison did you give Theresa?"

Ariadne shrugged, "I'm not sure, Cronus didn't tell me much just in case she could read my mind, he didn't want to give anything about the game away to her."

"Persephone, what is the matter?" Chiron asked.

"I'm not even sure how it's possible but… Theresa's a…" Persephone trailed off.

"A what?" Jay asked.

"I'm a god…" Theresa said barely believing the words coming out of her mouth, apparently none of her friends did either since they were all staring at her like she was crazy.

"That's impossible." Hera said.

"Hera, her heart isn't beating which means that she's immortal since she's alive right now…" Persephone continued talking but Theresa couldn't concentrate with everyone's voices in her head again, she groaned resting her head on the pillow again in an attempt to make the pain stop.

"Why is Theresa in so much pain?" Atlanta asked concerned.

"If she is in fact a god her powers are heightened, she can hear what everyone's thinking, and until she learns how to control her powers than she'll be in a lot of pain." Hera said.

"Great…" Theresa said sarcastically.

"I think you're all missing something very important" Chiron said "it's impossible for a mortal to be turned into a god."

"But Chiron look at Theresa, she's even more gorgeous than she was before she died, and her powers are so much stronger, and she was dead, remember?" Persephone said before turning back around to face Theresa, "close your eyes." Theresa did as she was told, "keep them closed." Persephone said walking to a table picking up a ball, she threw it at Theresa who caught it, everyone gasped.

"Do you need any more proof?" Persephone asked looking at Chiron.

"OK so I'm a god, now how do I turn mortal again?" Theresa asked annoyed, she didn't want to be a god.

I don't think there is a cure… Persephone thought, either forgetting that Theresa could read her mind or thinking it would be easier to hear it in her head, but of course it didn't, if she was a god then that would mean she couldn't die, and the rest of her friends would and would all go to Elysian Fields.

"No!" Theresa said crying, Jay sat down beside her pulling her into a hug.

"Shhh, it's OK we'll find a cure." Jay said rubbing her back; Theresa didn't want to upset her friends by what she had just heard in Persephone's mind, so she nodded her head, unable to speak.

"Persephone, Ariadne, and Chiron go and see Hades he might know a cure in the Underworld." Hera commanded, they all nodded before running out of the room.

"So how do you feel?" Neil asked a few minutes later, causing death glares from everyone.

Wow everyone needs to calm down, I mean Theresa's alive; at least we have that, Neil's thought made Theresa feel a little better, granted she was a god, but at least she was alive, but if she was immortal could her and Jay have a relationship? Could she even have kids? Theresa looked at Jay, fresh tears falling from her eyes, Jay sighed and pulled her back into a hug.

"Theresa it's OK." He said rubbing her back, Theresa nodded.

I hope they can find a cure Atlanta's thoughts rung out the loudest out of everyone, Theresa began crying harder, not even her best friend thought they would find a cure.

Jay sighed as he walked out of Chiron's room, Theresa had fallen asleep after crying for the past hour or so, he hated seeing her in so much pain, and who could blame her? She was a god, and there was still no word from Persephone, Adriane, Chiron, or Hades, so who knew if they were having any luck finding a cure. "Jay, are you alright?" Hera's voice came from behind him, Jay turned to face her.

"Not really." He admitted, "I mean sure Theresa's alive which is awesome, but…" Jay trailed off unable to think of the right words, Hera sighed walking over to him putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Jay, I understand how you're feeling, relieved but also confused and hurt to see how much pain she's in."

"How is it even possible that she's a god?" Jay asked.

"The poison that Adriane gave her, wasn't poison at all but some sort of potion that Cronus cooked up."

"But if she's a god, can't she stop him no problem?" Jay asked confused, after all Theresa would be more powerful than ever now.

"Theresa's not going to be able to fight with you."

"What?" Jay asked surprised, "but seven of us are supposed to defeat Cronus."

"I know, but Theresa's a god now, and gods aren't allowed to fight in the land of mortals, unless absolutely necessary."

"But Hera…" Jay was cut off by a loud bang which caused an earthquake.

"What was that?" Atlanta asked running into the hallway.

"I don't know but come on let's go find out!" Jay said taking out his sword.

"Don't bother." Theresa said, walking out of Chiron's room, crossing her arms she leaned against the doorway, "it's Cronus, I just had a vision, he's causing earthquakes and tidal waves all over the world."

"Of course it's Cronus." Archie said rolling his eyes.

"Where is he now, Theresa?" Herry asked sounding eager.

Theresa closed her eyes for less than a minute before opening them, "he's at the harbour just outside of town."

"OK let's go!" Jay said, he wanted to stop Cronus now and then maybe with any luck they could convince him to tell them how to turn Theresa mortal again.

"What about Theresa?" Atlanta asked turning to face her, Theresa looked at the ground, and Jay could swear that it looked like she was fighting back tears.

"I'm a god now; I can't fight with you guys."

"But Theresa you have to." Atlanta said, "We're a team, we have to defeat Cronus all together."

"Sorry, but you know the rules." Hera said sounding a lot harsher than normal "gods are not allowed to fight in the land of the mortals."

"But Hera…" Archie began but Hera cut him off.

"Go." She said before pointing to the door, Jay wanted to try and reason with her but he knew it wouldn't do any good, he sighed walking over to Theresa.

"We'll be back soon, and when we're back we'll find a way to fix everything, I promise." He said pulling her into a hug, when Jay ended the hug he felt strangely empty, all he wanted to do was hold her, and he wanted everything to be the way it was so they could be together, but right now he couldn't think of that, he had to lead his friends to stop Cronus.

"OK guys let's go!" Jay said, everyone ran out of the hallway screaming.

"Jay wait!" Jay turned around just as Theresa ran over to him, "I can't let you leave without giving you one last thing." Before Jay could react Theresa pulled him into a kiss, for a second Jay couldn't breathe he was so shocked, this kiss was everything he had imagined kissing Theresa would be like, Theresa pulled away far too soon.

"Be safe." She whispered.

"I'll be back soon." I whispered back, staring into her beautiful green eyes, I had almost forgot about Cronus, and about the mission for now it was only me and Theresa.

"Hey Jay! Let's go before Cronus leaves!" Archie's voice yelled from somewhere down the hall, Jay rolled his eyes.

"Duty calls." He said sadly.

"Be careful." Theresa said sighing.

Jay kissed her forehead, "I will."

Jay pulled himself away from Theresa, a few seconds later, wishing that she could be with them to stop Cronus, but in the same breathe he had just gotten her back, and he would not lose her again, they would stop Cronus tonight and then they would be together.
