Disclaimer: I don't own Greek Myths...
Arleen-Very well, I guess I will have to just be two times as careful Thanks for telling me. (
Libby- I don't think I wanted to know...so getting off your topic with the obsession of Bob (heh) I do believe you will see quite a few of the Gods and Goddesses return but you will just have to see if Artemis comes. As for the baloney quirks eyebrow the chapters are shorter sometimes because they end where they end...I don't know what else to tell you, I will probably after I finish rewrite the story with more elaboration but not post it on Fan Fiction. And as for the plot...hmmm...no comment...
To my dearest Bob aka Kaylee - I'll try to update but I am really busy and am trying to work out some kinks in the story. Love you too ;)
Witchyartemis- Thank you. I enjoy hearing some positive stuff. Hope you like this next chapter...
(A Dream) Now on to the story... oh and don't mind my A/N's...I just got a little...bored:
Erika folded up a light red hoodie and dropped it into her mahogany dresser drawer. 'Almost done', she though warily grabbing a t-shirt out of her bad and beginning to fold it.
A moment later, there was a knock on her bedroom door. "Come in," Erika said turning around to see whom it was.
Her aunt entered the room smiling sleepily. "Erika, honey, I just was walking by and I saw your light on. Dear, it's nearly one in the morning. Don't you want to sleep?"
"I'm not really tired. I think it may just be the whole time zone switching thing," Erika said waving her hands in animation.
"Well, I guess you'll slowly get used to Greece's time." Her aunt paused slightly frowning. "Erika, do you miss your parents at all?"
"A little, I mean it's not like I want to go home or anything, I just miss hearing them and stuff."
"Don't worry, you can talk to them on the phone whenever you want. (A/N awww here comes the heart felt moment ) Don't ever forget Erika, people are always there for you even when you don't feel it."
"Okay, well, I guess I should go to bed..." Erika said slightly touched. (A/N hey man if you didn't feel it I guess Erika did)
"Okay good night," her aunt said giving her a hug. After Erika's aunt left, Erika grabbed her pajamas and changed then she grabbed her toothbrush and walked off down the hall to go brush her teeth.
Quite suddenly, Erika bumped into Sam who seemed to have been hidden in the shadows. "Oh, hi Sam, what are you doing up so late?" Erika asked remembering their conversation not to long ago on the Internet.
"Oh well, I thought you would figure it out but...heh guess not. Come with me," Sam said leading her up the stairs to what Erika found to be the attic.
"You wanted to know what I have been doing come look for yourself," Sam said closing the door to the attic behind Erika. Erika bit her lip as Sam guided her through complete darkness.
"Okay, now watch out." Sam said as he opened the door to a balcony. The moonlight suddenly illuminated the room throwing shadows out along the boxes and a few cushioned chairs.
"I've been looking at the stars," Sam said simply looking out into the sky's atmosphere.
Erika looked up as well fascinated at what her cousin had been looking at every night.
"See, there is Draco the Dragon," said Sam pointing up into the sky filled with little specks of light. "Draco the Dragon was thought of as one of the well-known monsters in the past. They used to even associate it with the dragon Hercules killed.
Erika curled up looking at these stars. 'It's amazing how many things can be thought up around Mythology...' she thought happily closing her eyes.
"I'm not surprised how you got into looking at the stars. They're so addicting." Erika commented looking over at Sam.
Sam stood silent for a moment then broke the silence. "Yeah, they are so wonderful. I mean they are just there...never changing. I mean..." Sam paused then continued, "I can't believe we are seeing something that is light- years away and probably has already burned out." Sam said simply.
After that, Erika and Sam remained silent. Aphrodite and Athena listened from directly below the balcony. 'Could she be the one The Fates speak of? If this is real then? Even if we notify Hades in time, it wouldn't matter, the Titans will return.' Aphrodite thought as a flash of fear ran through her eyes.
Less then a half hour later, Erika bid Sam goodnight and went to go brush her teeth. Erika then went back to her room and crawled into bed. She quickly fell asleep...dreaming...
(Erika was walking along the trail in the woods when she saw a cave. She slowly went into the cave. Surprisingly there seemed to be a distant light. Yet dim, it brought off enough light to illuminate the cave. However strange it seemed to Erika, she continues to walk. The cave seemed to be going down on a slant however deep, she didn't know though. The light however, seemed to be getting stronger. Then as she turned a corner she saw it. She gasped. 'What is this thing' she thought?)
A loud sound of her balcony door being closed by the wind woke Erika. She slowly rolled out of bed...actually fell onto the wooden floor. She slowly rose; feeling like it was impossible to stand on her own two feet.
Half acknowledging she was in Greece, Erika peeked outside seeing the sun already halfway up in the sky. Erika groaned. She was still so tired. She closed the balcony windows off with the dark curtains on the door.
She crawled back into bed throwing the covers over her head. Not more then a minute later however, she threw the blankets off realizing she couldn't breathe under the thick comforter. Finally, she got out of bed and got dressed. She pulled on a t-shirt and some jeans. About a half an hour later (A/N I love those half hour intervals ;) ), she walked down the stairs to the main entrance of the house glancing around the place she would be living in the next two months.
A moment later, Bob entered through a door behind her. Erika squeaked in surprise.
"Afternoon Erika," Bob said pleasantly.
"Hey."
"Want to grab a bite? I have some stuff I wanted to show you afterwards." Bob said.
"You and Sam are too alike," Erika said laughing.
"Yeah, but we can be really different too," Bob muttered darkly.
"Mmmm...." Erika mumbled slightly as she walked into the kitchen with Bob. There were pots hanging on a rack near the sink and the sink was spotlessly clean.
Erika's stomach rumbled. "Hungry eh? How about a sandwich, I am making one for myself." "PB and J?" Erika asked hopefully.
"What else?" Bob replied grinning holding up the Peanut Butter jar.
Bob sat down with Erika and started eating they sandwiches.
"So can I show you that thing I was telling you about now?" asked Bob as Erika finished off her sandwich.
"Sure...what is it?"
"Our library, come on." Said Bob getting up.
"You have a library??" Erika asked surprised.
"Yeah, I think you will really like the books, most of the we got from donations before we moved."
"Welcome to the library Erika," Bob said opening the door.
"Oh, my," Erika said surprised.
The room was full of books. There was even a second level for books. "This room is my home, the place where I spend my time. I have come to learn that without reading we have no hopes or dreams or hopes for our future. Even fantasy books give up hope for something new. Without reading, we would know nothing of our precedents besides through conversation, and even the words get twisted to our liking. Losing a book's knowledge would almost be like going back to the Stone Age." Bob said look at all the books.
"Are the books categorized?" Erika asked.
"Yeah over there on that piece of paper. It tells you where all the types of books are. Er... I am reading up on something in my room so I'll see you later." Bob said leaving.
"Yeah, bye, "Erika said still looking at all the books.
Erika walked along an aisle of books running a finger along the spines of some of the books. Finally, she walked over to the paper and looked up Greek Mythology. She looked up and walked over to a case of books next to the stairs that must have been Greek Mythology. There, she saw "The Iliad". She pulled out the book but it slid out of her fingers. "Dang it" she muttered.
She kneeled down to get the book but then she saw her ring. It had started to almost...flash with light. "Um...?" Erika said just before the floor below her disappeared below her and she fell deep into the darkness of Hades.
How'd you like it? Sorry if my editing is really bad I am in a terrible rush.
