Chapter 2 stupid brothers, I have my own brain, you know.
"Hello" she said. I remembered that voice. I heard it late at night, when I was half way between awke and sleep. I could hear her whisper. "Hush, hush be quite. He can't find us. I have to keep you safe. Hush." CRASH! Then I was ripped from my mother hands. "NO!" she cried. "NOT AGAIN" and then I was falling. Falling so far. Why had she not saved me? Why had she let him find me? Why? Did she not love me enough?
But I was saved from answereing when the wine rose, telling me that another of my siblings had arrived. I turned and ran to their aid.
"Hades? Are you ok?" I ask him nervousely. He looks up and blinks.
"Wer' mm I?" he mutters
"I dunno" I tell him as I help him to uis feet. Poseiden comes over and helps me, as Hades is a wee bie to heavy for me. Wait a moment I think Demeter and Hestia are still inside.
But just then out camme Demeter.
"Can you take care of Hades?" I ask Poseiden. He nods, so I rush over to where Demeter was.
"Demeter, are you ok?" I ask, but she just lay their.
"Demeter? Demi, wake up! Wake up!" I start freaking out and rolling her around to try and wake her up, to no avail.
My eyes start stinging. Thats odd. I didn't know I was injured. A small part of my brain said, but the rest was just a constant DEMETER!
"Don't cry!" I look up and see muscle man with another cloak. He piked Demeter up and put the cloak around her.
"She'll be fine." muscle man said it so calmly and with such certanty that I had to belive it. I noded numbly. Muscle man put her back on the ground.
"She's fine, see, her cheast is still moving. She's just been nocked out." I nod numbly again.
"Are you prepared?" I hear my mother ask. Muscle man noded.
"Yes, well get back to Mother E as soon as possilble. We have hide out that we can stay in while we travle, and we have packs if any thing happens." my mother noded.
"Good." she replyed. We're just waiting for one more, then you have to go..."
"And what makes you think we're going with you?" poseiden asked.
"But you have to" muscle man excaimed.
"No we don't." Hades continued. "we don't know you. We don't even konw your name."
"I'll tell you my name later, at the moment thats not important. We have to get outta here FAST! As soon as the last one is out, we leave." Muscle man said.
"We wont be coming." Poseidon said.
"you have to come! I worked so hard to meet you. You have to come" Muscle man sounded desperate.
"Why should we?" poseidon demanded.
"Because it's because of him that you're out of your fathers stomach" my mother said. "and he's you're brother."
"I already have a brother." Hades said, coldly. "his name is poseidon. I don't need another one"
"Neither, we wont be going any where with you and your stupid Mother E." Poseidon said, just as coldly.
"I saved you! You have to come!" muscle man sounded really desperate now.
"No. we refuse" Poseidon said.
"I'll go" I say. They all turn and stare at me. Muscle man thankfully, Hades and Poseidon in shook and horror, and my mother in surpraise.
"No you wont" Hades said. "you will come with us and have nothing to do with him" Hades said him as if it were an ugly, disgusting word.
"Excuse me?" I say. Now really pissed off. "Since when do I take orders from you?"
"Since you started acting crazy, so a few seconds ago." Poseidon says.
"We don't even know him..." hades begins
"Hes our brother"
"Who we've never met before"
"We can't trust him"
"He saved us"
"You're not going"
"Watch me" I told them. I walked over to muscle man. "where are those packs you were talking about before?" I asked him.
"Over here." he said and lead me over to the door where I saw 7 packs piled against the door.
"Thanks" he said. "for sticking up for me back there"
"It's fine. I mean, you did save us."
"But you didn't have to start yelling at your brothers"
"Of coures I did. How dare they say I can't go. I can make decisions for myself." I mean I get why they don't want to go, but how dare they boss me around! I'm smart enough to think for myself. I'm not stupid. They should trust my judgement. I was so mad at my stupid brothers. I grabed a pack and swang it on my shoulders.
"Anything else I need to take?" I ask muscle man.
"Nope."
"Ok, i'll go cheek on Demi then." I tell him, and run back around the table to where I left Demeter.
"Hera, don't do this" Poseidon said. I turn and look at him.
"I'm sorry, but this is my decision to make. And i'm going"
"Is there any thing I can do to change your stuborn little mind?" he asks
"My mind is not little, and no, you can't change it." I tell him.
"Then i'll have to go to. To keep my stuborn little sister outta trouble."
"Knew you'd come" I tell him as I go to where Demeter is lying.
"I told you this was all part of her plan" I hear hades tell Poseidon.
"We can't let her go by herself. She's our baby sister" Poseidon answers.
"I know." Hades sighs.
Even though I wasn't that much younger then Poseidon, I was still the 'baby sister' the 'little one' the one that needs protecting and looking after.
"Demeter?" I shake her to try to get her to wake up. After who knows how long she finally moaned and opened her eyes.
"Wa?" she asks.
"Are you ok? Are you hurt, I was so worried. You're fine, right. Dose your head hurt? Your back? How are you feeling? I was so scared before. Are you alright? You are. Aren't you?" I mummbled and muttered.
"Ca't her 'ou e-a" she mutters.
"It's fine, we're out, finally. Like really out. I'm so excited." I help her up as I gabber on, not really saying much, just talking.
"It'll be so much fun, we'll run for ages, and feel real ground under our feet. And meet other people, it'll be so exciting."
"Hera, shut up" Hades tells me. "Glad your back in the land of the living, Demi."
"My head really hurts" she says. "wait," she looks around. "Where's Hestia?" wew all look at each other.
"She's not...?" Demi asks. We all nod. She starts leaking. Water was coming out of her eyes. Maybe it's got something to do with not being in a stomach, that makes your eyes leak.
"I can't belive Hestia is dead!" she excaims.
"But she's not" I say. "she's just still inside our father."
"But you said..." but she was cut off by another lot of wine. Hestia had arrived.
Muscle man appeared. "As soon as he has got his breath back he'll call for the guards. If you want any chance of seeing the next sunrise, we have to leave now!" he says.
"We're coming" Poseidon told him as he hurried towards Hestia with a cloak. He shoot Poseidon a puzzled look and wrapped up an unconciouse Hestia.
"Let me take her" Poseidon said. And muscle man handed her over.
"Who is he?" Demeter asked.
"No clue, but he saved us" I told her as we all followed his lead, and ran towards the exit.
"And so now Hera has decided to run off with him, so we have to go to" Hades added as muscle man chucked him a pack.
"WHAT!" Demeter shouted.
"Not like that" Poseidon added quickly, like what? What were they talking about? I was really confused.
"Talk later, run now" muscle man told us.
"Good bye, good luck, tell Mother E I'm still ready and waiting" our mum called as the 5 of us ran out the door. Muscle man leading, Hades, Demeter, me, then Poseidon carrying Hestia at the rear. We were down nearly 3 hallways when we heard it. Our father's shout of "ATTACK!" and the buzzing that seemed to be everywhere we ran.
"Time to take a dive" muscle man shouted at us as he ran out a window. We all followed, and fell to the ground from 3 storys up. I paniced and fell faster. NO! stop stop stop I thought, then I did, 1 story above the ground and I was floating in mid air, while everyone else was on the ground. What? Why am I... and then I fell the rest of the way down.
"How did you..." Poseidon started to ask. But was interupted by muscle man
"KEEP RUNNING!"
So I shrugged. And took off as fast as I could. Glad that we raced around a lot in our fathers stomach still, other wise I would've been killed by the advancing army behind us.
Run, Hera, run.
