I'm sorry if you don't like it or if there's any misspelling in it. I'll do the best I can describing Rick's characters, but I make no promos.
As the school year came to a close, I felt myself thinking on what Ms. Reptilia said. "He made it harder to get to you."
What was she taking talking about? Arion? But it couldn't be Arion, I only just meet him. I was in my dorm room studying hard for my latin exam. But couldn't focus.
My thoughts kept thinking back to Ms. Reptilia's cold stone glare. Shaking my head, I tried to focus on my Greek Mythology text book. The words kept swimming though. See I'm dyslexic, its hard for me to read and write.
Throwing my textbook across the room I got up and just left my room, but not before I woke my roommate up.
"Jexx, I'm trying to sleep!" She said.
I said whatever and left. I walked through the familiar dark hallways. I know every inch of the school, even where the teachers were when they did hall swips. As I walked to the stairs that lead to the roof, I saw Mr. Trident's office light was on.
That;s when I also noticed his door was open a bit. As I walked past it, I heard voices.
"-I know he wants me to come home, Athena, but I can't leave Atlanta!" Mr. Trident said.
I froze. Athena? I walked back to his office and quietly peeked in. Now normally I would never peek into Mr. Trident's office, but I would love to see you walk away from a teacher's office when he's talking about you.
"Poseidon-"
Poseidon?
"You need to come back to Olympus its not safe for you!" I heard Athena said.
Olympus? Athen? Poseidon? What's going on?!
"I know, but I'm not leaving without Atlanta!"
I felt myself start to cry when I heard that. Nobody has ever cared about me so much. I almost didn't hear Athena speak again.
"You're endangering her! I know you care for Atlanta, but you should not be here with her! You'll get her killed, cause you're here with her!"
I wanted to go in there and yell at her for talking to him like that but Mr. Trident spoke.
"I know, but I have to help her! Athena, I have to help her! Promos me you won't tell Zeus where I am!"
"Poseidon you have to come home please, Atlanta will be safer without you here, you know this!"
"I know, but I can't! I can't."
Mr. Trident started crying. A woman walked up to him and hugged him. She had waist long curly black hair and olive tone skin. She was dressed in a long white dress. I didn't know her, but I know, I don't want to be on her bad side.
"I can't fail her again Athena. I failed her too many already."
I was shaking and crying now. What does he mean failed me too many already? He's never once failed me. I watched as Mr. Trident hugged Athena back tightly.
"You haven't failed her Poseidon. She looks up to you every time I see her with you, she smiles brightly."
Well its true. Mr. Trident is the father i never had. Dear old Daddy walked out on mom when I was born. Mom told me it was because he didn't want me. I hated him for leaving me with her. Mr. Trident was the best person in my life. I wished Mr. Trident was my father.
"I love her and I can't fail her."
I wanted to run in there and hug him, telling him he hasn't failed me. Athena hugged him, tightly.
"You haven't failed her, Poseidon I promos. She will never hate you, when she learns the truth."
Learns the truth? What does she mean learn the truth? Mr. Trident pushed Athena away.
"You don't get it Athena! I had all year to tell her, but I didn't she'll hate me!"
Athena forced his chin up.
"No she won't Poseidon, you must tell her tomorrow, or you might never tell her."
"But how can I tell her without scaring her? She's just a child. And what if Zeus finds out?"
He's right. I am just a child, but I have the right to know. I watched as Athena hugged Mr. Trident again and whispered it was ok.
I wished I could go in there and hug him too, but I know I would get in trouble for eavesdropping (and the fact I'm up past curfew).
"Poseidon, Zeus won't find out, as far as he knows you're just ignoring his word, he doesn't know Atlanta exist and he doesn't know where you are."
"But he has to know where you are!"
"No he thinks I'm with Nike, every time I come to see you, Atlanta's safe from the others."
"But for how long they'll learn about her soon!"
"Relex Poseidon, I promos they won't find out about her, if you'll cone home."
Mr. Trident laughed a bit, He softly put his hands on her shoulders and broke the hug.
"I promos after tomorrow I'll come home Athena, but for now I have to stay."
I walked away from his door and went to the roof. When I opened the door to the roof I saw I wasn't alone.
There was a woman sitting by the edge of the building. From what I could see she had short brown hair, it went to to her neck, she had peach skin. She wore a white dress. There was a bow and arrows in a quiver behind her. I don't know her, but I know I don't want to mess with her.
I slowly walked up to her and cleared my throat. She turned and looked at me, I noticed she had silver eyes, that pierced into you.
"Hello." She said. "You're up pretty late, you should be asleep."
"Couldn't sleep." I said.
Well it was true. The thought of Ms. Reptilia stone statue at Dr. Clack's dig scared me and I kept having nightmares of her too.
"So you came here?"
"When ever I can't sleep or I have something on my mind."
I sat down on the edge, my feet hanging from the side and looked up at the stars.
"You must come here often."
"Pretty much, what about you? I've never seen around here."
"I'm not from here, I live in New York, but travel with my hunt."
That's cool...if you're into that kinda stuff. We sat for a while not speaking to one another. There was silence only the wind and the night creatures made a sound.
I felt a little weird being close to her, I feared she'd bring up my arm. I hoped she'd not acknowledge me.
"Lovely night isn't it?"
"Oh yeah...it is."
"So you like the stars?"
Maybe it won't be so hard talking to her.
"Yes, they're my favorite part if the night."
"Mine as well child, mine as well."
I looked at the stars and pointed at one of the constellations. It was Hercules, the might hero.
"That one is Hercules, son of Zeus."
"You know your constellations. Yes that is Hercules, do you know the story?"
I noticed the hatred in her voice when she said Hercules' name. I thought for a second on what Mr. Trident said about him.
"Hercules only became a hero, cause Zoe helped. He in the end broke her heart and she joined Artemis' hunt."
I looked at her, to see she was crying a bit and looked at the constellation of a girl. She was smiling brightly.
"That's right."
She pointed to another constellation. Leo the lion.
"Do you know what that one is?"
"That's leo the lion, a fiercest beast."
"Very good."
I pointed at to Orion.
"That's Orion, he was killed by Apollo."
She looked at me weirdly."
"Artemis. Artemis is the one that killed Orion."
I shook my head no.
"Apollo did my teacher told me Apollo took his older sister hunting and tricked her into killing him. Artemis was distraught, and turned him into stars, so he could be seen every night. Apollo is the true killer, at least that's what I think."
The woman smiled at me, before smiling at Orion.
"I never thought of it like that."
I smiled and pointed at Pegasus.
"That's Pegasus, he's my favorite."
"Pegasus i a beautiful creature indeed, why is he your favorite?"
I had to think on that for a second. Nobody has ever asked me that before.
"Because he can fly away from his troubles and explore the world, free from everyone that wants to trap it in a cage."
Ever since I was little, I wished I could flying away from my troubles and travel the world. I would love to be a Pegasus, and fly away, even for just a day.
"Do you feel trapped?"
I wanted to say no and lie but instead I said yes.
"Do you feel trapped here?"
"No. Not her, Academy is my kingdom, the students and staff are my citizens. I love it here."
Academy is my home. I feel safe here and I never wanted to leave. Sadly tomorrow, I'm leaving my home to go to my living nightmare.
The woman looked at me, concern in her eyes. I don't know her and she doesn't know me, but the sorrow in her eyes told me she really cared for me. They were the same eyes as Mr. Trident.
As the night went on I found my head on her shoulder and I was falling asleep. I heard the door open and two sets of foot steps. As they got closer I heard voices.
"There she is. I should have known she be up here."
It was Mr. Trident.
"At least she's not by herself." Athena said.
I felt Mr. Trident pick me up. My head went to his shoulder. Athena carefully brushed my hair from my face.
As I fell asleep I heard Mr. Trident speak.
"Hello Artemis."
