Hey my fellow authors and authoresses I am back! I can't believe how fast this story is getting updated! Now onto chapter 6! I don't know why, but I always listen to music while I write! =)


Chapter 6

3rd person POV

Everyone decided that they should meet up at Leaf's house to figure out what was wrong with them or what they should know about themselves.

"Okay, guys so what do we know about this so far?" Leaf questioned with a pen and notebook in both hands.

"Weird things happened to us, like water control, perfect aim, making people do what they want, a weird voice telling you what to do, and a strange man." Marina said carefully remembering all the information. Leaf wrote down all of this as quickly as she could without making it look like scribbles.

"Well, we can't tell anyone about this. They'll think we're crazy." Misty said.

"No, duh!" Leaf scoffed.

"Do you guys think this has anything to do with our parents?" Dawn said thinking.

"I'm not sure we all have divorced parents, so this is a hard question." Leaf said.

May had been silent during the whole time and Marina realized this.

"Hey, May, what do you think?" Marina said trying to make May talk.

"Huh? What?" May said snapping out of her thoughts.

Marina just chuckled at May while Leaf rolled her eyes. Dawn was too busy checking her make up to pay attention.

"We're trying to figure out what happened to us, May." Leaf said slowly.

"Oh, is this why we're all here? I thought we were here for a sleepover or something." May said dumbly.

"C'mon, May, you need to help us!" Misty screamed grabbing May by the shoulders and shaking her.

"L-let g-g-go, M-M-M-Misty!" May said trying to regain composure. Misty just sighed and let go.

"Just help us, May, okay?" Marina said.

"Okay!" May said saluting Marina.

"So what do you know, May?" Leaf said getting her pencil ready to write anything important.

"Well, I know that the voice wants us to do something for it. Oh, and it said something really quiet, but I couldn't tell what it said." May said with a finger on her chin. Leaf wrote this down. Someone's phone started ringing. It was Marina's phone.

"Well, I have to go you guys, my mom just called and said I need to get back to help her with something." Marina said getting her stuff.

"Bye, Marina!" Everyone waved except Dawn who was still making sure her make-up was perfect.

"Dawn, enough with the make up!" Misty said who had been watching Dawn for quite a while.

"Okay, fine, but if I get home and it looks horrible I'm blaming you!" Dawn said sitting down next to May.

"I think I can live with the gut wrenching guilt." Misty said sarcastically.

"Guys, back on the subject before we all have to go!" Leaf said making everyone look at her.

"Leaf, you're the genius, can't you think of something? I mean you've practically read every book! Isn't there anything familiar you've seen in a book?" Misty said thinking that Leaf was a genius failure.

"Oh my gosh, Misty, you're right!" Leaf said hugging Misty in a bear hug.

"It's why I'm here." Misty said.

"This has to do with Greek Mythology!" Leaf said feeling accomplishment for realizing this.

"What's that?" Dawn said.

"It's the legends, myths, and gods that Greeks believed in, right?" May said.

"Yeah, how did you know that, May?" Leaf said studying May.

"I don't know I just knew." May said not sure what else to say.

"Well, I've got to go too you guys, before my sisters ask why I was gone for too long and decide to curl my hair or something as a punishment." Misty said putting on her shoes.

"Yeah, I've got to go too." Dawn said putting all her make up away.

"Well, Leaf I should get going too." May said getting up and saying bye to everyone.


Next day at school Leaf's POV

I thought I should get to school extra early to check a bunch of books out on Greek Mythology. When I got to the library I couldn't believe how many books there were. There were rows of books everywhere and book shelves filled to the brim with books.

"Whoa." I said speechless.

I spotted the librarian shelving some books over in a corner.

"Excuse me, miss?" I said trying to get her attention.

"Yes, how may I assist you?" She said smiling. Her hair was brown and in a bun, she wore what you'd expect most teachers to wear, a black skirt that wasn't too short and a top to match.

"Umm can you help me find a book on Greek Mythology?" I said politely.

"Yes, they're over there with the other myth books." She said pointing to a shelf with a lot of colorful books.

"Thanks, miss" I said not really sure what else to call her

"No problem and you may call me, Ms. Wilson." She said kindly.

"Okay, thanks again, Ms. Wilson." I said walking to the book shelves.

There were so many books. I wasn't sure which one to check out.

"There are a lot of books, huh?" Ms. Wilson said coming up from behind me.

"Yeah, do you which one is a really good choice to learn about them?" I asked.

"Yes, that one right there, I know it might look a little old, but it's a really good choice for reports and stuff." She said.

"Oh, thanks!" I said grabbing the book. She wasn't kidding this had a ripped cover with some ripped pages and it was so dusty, that I couldn't even read the title. I blew some dust off and rubbed the rest of it off. It was called, "The Great Book of Greek Mythology" Really creative title I thought.

"Can you check this out for me?" I said handing her the book.

"Yeah, come this way." She said leading me to a counter.

She checked the book out for me and handed it to me.

"Here, you go." She handed me the book.

"Thanks again!" I said leaving the library.


At lunch still Leaf's POV

"Hey guys!" I said trying to damage the book and running up to my friends at the same time.

"What do you have there?" Marina said pointing at the book.

"I checked out this book from the library to help us!" I said happily.

"Really? Let me see!" May said grabbing the book from me.

"Be careful with that, May!" I said checking if the book was still fine. Luckily nothing ripped when May grabbed it from me.

"Oh, sorry, I guess I didn't realize that this book was really old." May apologized.

"It's okay. Nothing got ripped, so it's fine." I assured May trying to not make her guilty.

At this May smiled and gave the book back to me carefully. I told May to get me something to eat while I save a spot for us. I walked over to the closest empty table. I flipped through the pages. Ms. Wilson was right! There was so much information in this book it even started to hurt my head a little!

The girls came back with an extra lunch for me and we started looking through the book. It had stories of myths, gods, famous demigods, and monsters. I flipped through the pages until I got to gods. I read out loud all of them:

Zeus- The king of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus and the god of the sky, weather, thunder, law, order, and fate. He is the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea. His mother Rhea saves Zeus from being swallowed by his father. Once Zeus had killed Cronus his brother and sister were released. He came later on to marry Hera. But still took many mortal women. His weapon of chose was a lightning bolt. In artwork, he was depicted as a regal, mature man with a sturdy figure and dark beard. His usual attributes are the royal scepter and the lightning bolt, and his sacred animals are the eagle and the bull.

Hera- Queen of marriage, women, childbirth, heirs, kings and empires. She is the wife of Zeus and daughter of Cronus and Rhea. She was usually depicted as a beautiful woman wearing a crown and veil and holding a royal, lotus-tipped staff. Her sacred animals are the heifer, the lion, the peacock, and the cuckoo.

Poseidon- The god of the sea, rivers, floods, droughts, earthquakes, and the creator of horses; known as the "Earth Shaker". He is a son of Cronus and Rhea and brother to Zeus and Hades. In classical artwork, he was depicted as a mature man of sturdy build with a dark beard, and holding a trident. The horse and the dolphin are sacred to him.

Hades- King of the Underworld, the god of the dead and the hidden wealth of the Earth. His consort is Persephone and his attributes are the key of Hades, the Helm of Darkness, and the three-headed dog, Cerberus. The screech owl was sacred to him. Despite being the son of Cronus and Rhea and the elder brother of Zeus, as a chthonic god he is only rarely listed among the Olympians.

Aphrodite- The goddess of love and beauty. Although married to Hephaestus she had many lovers, most notably Ares. She was depicted as a beautiful woman usually accompanied by her son Eros. Her symbols include the rose, scallop shell, and myrtle wreath. Her sacred animal is the dove. Her children rarely have the power to charmspeak, but there are those rare occasions.

Ares- The god of war, bloodlust, violence, manly courage, and civil order. The son of Zeus and Hera, he was depicted as either a mature, bearded warrior dressed in battle arms, or a nude beardless youth with helm and spear. His attributes are golden armor and a bronze-tipped spear. His sacred animals are the vulture, venomous snakes, alligators, and dogs.

Apollo- The god of music, healing, plagues, prophecies, poetry, and archery; associated with light, truth and the sun. He is Artemis's twin brother and Hermes' elder brother, and son of Zeus and Leto. He was depicted as a handsome, beardless youth with long hair and various attributes including a laurel wreath, bow and quiver, raven, and lyre. Animals sacred to Apollo include dolphins, roe deer, swans, cicadas, hawks, ravens, crows and snakes.

Artemis- Virgin goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, childbirth and plague. In later times she became associated with the moon. She is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister of Apollo. In art she was usually depicted as a young woman dressed in a short knee-length chiton and equipped with a hunting bow and a quiver of arrows. In addition to the bow, her attributes include hunting spears, animal pelts, deer and other wild animals. Her sacred animals are deer, bears, and wild boars.

Athena- The goddess of wisdom, warfare, battle strategy, heroic endeavor, handicrafts and reason. According to most traditions, she was born from Zeus's head fully formed and armored. She was depicted crowned with a crested helm, armed with shield and a spear. Her symbols include the olive tree. She is commonly shown accompanied by her sacred animal, the owl.

Demeter-The goddess of agriculture, horticulture, grain and harvest. Demeter is a daughter of Cronus and Rhea and sister of Zeus, by whom she bore Persephone. She was depicted as a mature woman, often crowned and holding sheafs of wheat and a torch. Her symbols are the Cornucopia (horn of plenty), wheat-ears, the winged serpent and the lotus staff. Her sacred animals are pigs and snakes.

Dionysus- The god of wine, parties festivals, madness, drunkenness and pleasure at forever young. He was depicted in art as either an older bearded god or a pretty effeminate, long-haired youth. His attributes include the thyrsus (a pinecone-tipped staff), drinking cup, grape vine, and a crown of ivy. Animals sacred to him include dolphins, serpents, tigers, panthers, and donkeys. A later addition to the Olympians, in some accounts he replaced Hestia.

Hephaestus- Crippled god of fire, metalworking, stonemasonry, sculpture and volcanism. The son of Hera by parthenogenesis, he is the smith of the gods and the husband of the adulterous Aphrodite. He was usually depicted as a bearded man holding hammer and tongs—the tools of a smith—and riding a donkey. His symbols are the hammer, tongs, and anvil. His sacred animals are the donkey, the guard dog and the crane. When he was born, he was thrown off of Mount Olympus by Hera as he was considered ugly.

Hestia- Virgin goddess of the hearth, home and cooking. She is a daughter of Rhea and Cronus and sister of Zeus. She was depicted as a modestly veiled woman, whose symbols are the hearth and kettle. In some accounts, she gave up her seat as one of the Twelve Olympians in favor of Dionysus.

When I was done reading my throat was dry. I took my cup of water and chugged it down so fast, that Ash and May would be proud.

Then I said, "Well, who do you guys think are your god mothers slash fathers?"

"I think I'm the daughter of Poseidon." Misty said thinking about the water incident.

"I mean what else could I be? The whole water thing definitely has to do with Poseidon, right?" Misty said surely.

"Good point!" Dawn said.

"I'm definitely a daughter of Aphrodite!" Dawn said proudly as if it were as great as being a daughter of one of the big three.

"Why?" May questioned.

"Because I love being pretty and plus that whole charmspeaking thing is something I'm sure I have because Paul and my gym teacher were put under my spell."

"That makes sense and you're pretty too, Dawn!" May said excitedly.

"Marina, who do you think fits your descriptions?" I asked Marina.

"I'm not sure, but you're definitely a daughter of Athena because you're a straight A student who ditches class and you're really good at battle strategies. No one's ever outsmarted you too!" Marina said.

"Well, if I'm a daughter of Athena then you're a daughter of Apollo, miss first try shooter." I said frankly.

"Then I guess we found ours!" Marina said excitedly.

"What about me?" May said not even with a clue about her godly parent.

"Sorry, May, can't help you there." I said feeling bad for May.

"Well, this stinks!" May said pouting.

The bell rang and we all headed for our classes.


May's POV

This is no fair! Leaf, Marina, Misty, and Dawn all know who their godly parents are! Why can't I? I was so busy thinking about stuff I bumped into someone.

"Oof! I'm sorry!" I said getting back up.

"You know, May, if you're not careful you could hurt someone seriously." A green haired boy said getting up.

"I said I was sorry, okay?" I said madly.

"Chill, May, let's just get to class before we're late." Drew said waiting for me. I started walking up to him, but I was still trying to figure out who my godly parent was. Drew must've noticed I wasn't paying attention to him cause he said,

"May, are you back on earth yet?" He waved his hand in front of my face.

"Yeah, I'm just trying to remember something." I said thinking about any weird things that happened in my life.

"Oh, why?" Drew questioned.

"Umm because I need it for a-a report, yeah a report!" I said lying,

"You sure?" Drew said getting closer to me. I blushed by the closeness, but I still wasn't going to tell him why. Then a wave of realization hit me.

"Drew, I remembered something!" I said hugging him.

Drew and I blushed. I quickly released him.

"Sorry." I said with a blush.

"May, I know i'm really good looking, but hugging me will get you nowhere." Drew smirked.

"Oh, shut up, I try to be nice to you and this is what I get?" I growled.

"So, what'd you remember?" He asked trying to change the subject.

"Oh, nothing." I said anxiously. Now I couldn't wait until I met up with the rest of the girls.
