Hermes was freaking out on both the physically and mentally. When he was about to throw popcorn at his beloved sister, she just…collapsed. "AH, WHAT IN THE HADES?" He screamed. He ran to her and put his ear to her chest. "Gods of Zeus Fora, you scared me to death. Now I am going to need to get Artemis…and maybe Apollo…"

Thoth gave a smile, "Yeah that could totally work." Fora felt butterflies in her stomach. "We can put the new hieroglyphics of 're-open' and- ta da!" He grinned at her, once again making her get a fuzzy feeling in her stomach. "You're a genius!" He hugged her, his arms lifting her up into the air. His kaleidoscope eyes where gleaming with happiness.

Fora rolled her eyes, "I'm not the genius, you're the one who actually did it." She said into his ear, hugging him back and putting her head into his neck. Thoth rolled his eyes and put her down, "But I would have never thought of it by myself." He said, kissing her on the noise. The dirty-blond giggled softly, "You would have eventually." She said. "Love you," She said, He grinned down at her, "Love you to my time goddess." And they kissed.

The picture of them kissing flew by; it went to Fora sitting in the sand with Artemis at the beach. "HEY! HEY ARTIE!" a very young bleach blond girl yelled. It seemed that she couldn't say her friends name right so she shortened it. "Stop calling me that." The teen Artemis said harshly. The young Fora pouted. She, for some reason, seemed to grow older, slower. "B…but I can't say you're…your name right…" She started to cry. Artemis swore, "Please don't cry. I didn't mean it that way…"

Fora looked up at her, "I…I miss brother and sister…" She choked out. Artemis sighed and looked out into the waves. The water was crystal clear, but the farther they went out it turned the color blue. "Ares and Athena need to be somewhere right now. But they'll be back. Don't worry Fora, just don't worry." Artemis gestured for her to sit in her lap. Fora smiled and snuggled up into her sister who wrapped her arms around her protectively. The Trojan War had taken a toll on poor Fora. She wasn't use to her brothers and sister at war with each other. She also wasn't use to Zeus, being her other brother, the head of her. She was almost as old as him, but he somehow already reached his prime. She still looked like a 6 year old. It is fair that I don't have my powers. She thought. It isn't far that I'm not at my prime. It's not far.

"It isn't far!" Fora screamed out. She looked around. The room was brightly lit, the light shined through the curtains that where a light shade of pink. "Hermes?" She called out, she slipped out of the sheets that where a light blue color. "Hey, where are you…" She looked down. The ground seemed closer than it usually was. "Oh no…no, no, no, no!" She yelled. She ran into the bathroom. There her six year old face staring back at her. Her hair was blond, beach blond, with her eyes gold and glowing, staring back at her

"How…-"

"Hey, admiring you in the mirror or what?" Fora turned a teen Artemis was looking at her. She was wearing regular clothes which included a regular tee and shorts. She smiled; her silver eyes glinted like they always did when she knew something that the time goddess didn't. "Come on, we're going to be late for the carnival!" Fora grinned. She knew this memory…Wait it was a memory? But she was here in side it… Ow my head, She thought, this is to confusing.

"Yeah, I just need to get changed and we can head out." Fora said grinning more. Artemis raised an eyebrow, "You're perky this morning," She observed. Fora bounded past her. Her six year old body seemed to move on its own. "I just can't wait till the Carnival! I've…never been to one before…" She said sheepishly. Artemis grinned, "We all can't wait Squirt. Come on, we gotta get going."

Everything felt real to Fora, it seemed to move like it did, the gods and goddess seem to talk like they do. But, something felt off. It was when Hermes threw up after eating a slushie and a corn dog, and then went on a ride that shot you in the air that she remembered.

"Oh, no…" She muttered. It was the day when she put herself in danger, when she first put her own powers to the test. The day, what she calls it, time bending. It was an interesting day when she did it. She was yelled at by Zeus, him ranting and asking questions about why she would try it. Her body went through the movements of what she did. Her hand stuck out, in the middle of the ride when it was about to go downhill, and she snapped her fingers. Everything around her stopped. The little kids rising almost out of their seats, Artemis screaming her head off, Apollo laughing his head off, and Hermes face as straight as it could be, even though she knew he was having a small heart attack. Everything stopped. But as soon as it stopped, it started again. It was only a few moments but it was more than she ever did. She was just catorigaurized as the daughter of Kronos without powers so far. But now, she could have been his heir. Of course she didn't think about it at the time. But it wormed its way in her mind. She didn't want to be his heir. She just wanted to be normal. When they all got off of the ride Hermes was grinning like crazy.

"Well, that was an 8.5 in my book of roller coasters." The teen god said. Everyone agreed with that…everyone besides Fora. She just was deep in thought.

"Hey, Fora…Hello?" Artemis waved her hand in front of the smaller goddess face. Fora blinked. "Hu, what?"

"What are you thinking about?" Artemis asked slowly. Then Fora also remembered, suddenly, that it was the first time she ever got a flash back, ever. She was about to answer when everything dissolved into white as the first of many flash backs appeared. When she opened her eyes she saw Hermes, Artemis, and Apollo once again. But they were older. She was back in the real world.

-FT-

"So you actually lived the flash back?" Was the reply after she finished her story. She spilled it all right then and there. Well, first she realized that she wasn't in her six year old body anymore, and at that she did a snoopy dance. But then she realized that the others were watching her and she sat back down and started to talk.

"Yep." She said, "It was weird. It was almost like I…I re-felt everything again." She said. Her voice was full of thinking. Apollo sighed, "So you're not physically hurt…right?" For a shook her head, "Nope, not that I know of."

"That's good." Apollo smiled, there was a beeping sound and they all looked around. Apollo got out his phone, after listing into it for a few minutes he sighed, "Alright I'll be there." He said. "Uh, I need to go guys duty calls." He gave a shrug, "Sorry."

The others waved and said their goodbyes. Then it was just the four of them. "Your flashbacks are getting harder and harder to control…" Artemis muttered. Fora shrugged and sighed, "They just come and go, Its not like I can actually control them..." Artemis looked at her, then Hermes.

"Where going to keep an eye on these flashbacks, if it's longer than a minute we'll have to get some real help." She said. Hermes raised an eyebrow. "So it's like a seizure?" He asked. Artemis nodded, "We'll inform the school that she had these 'seizures'." The huntress said. "Until then, let's hope these things are just not a sign."

Yep, the author's note is at the end. Anyways OMG THOTH! Excuse me, Thoth is technically not ours but oh well.

Thanks for reading!
