Chapter 13
"Where are we going?" Kasey asked and I shushed her. I needed to locate the spot that I'd found that cave at and I didn't think I could do that if my mind was racing with visions of her and Andrew. We got to that cave within the hour. Zakk motioned us all around the side and we saw the girl. Cassie that Prometheus had taken prisoner. I ran over. She was tied to the tree. My friends followed.
"It's ok, it's ok." I soothed. "My name is Cassandra and these are my friends Zakk and Kasey. We're here to help you." I said and undid the gag.
"They wont take it!" She sobbed.
"Wont take what?" Kasey asked then something changed in Cassie's face.
"Are you, Cassandra Anderson?" The girl asked and I nodded. I started to wonder what was the matter because she had a look of pain and excitement but I quickly dismissed it, knowing that a girl who had suffered physical torment from titans would not be on the same level of sanity that we were. I undid the bonds and Kasey smiled at me. The three of us, swords draw, entered the cave. It was dark and dank. It smelt of mold and other things that I didn't really feel like naming. We made out way through the cave and Cassie stopped me suddenly.
"The titans have this cave for a reason, Cassandra. You shouldn't go in." She warned but I had my mindset to do this quest and if that meant going through caves then so be it. "Cassandra, the cave is immensely powerful, you need to abandon the quest!" She said and I ignored her. Cassie started to sob. I turned around.
"Listen, Cassie, everything's going to be fine. We wont do anything you hurt you. Just stay with us for a little," I said and when I got to a room in the cave I gasped. The whole room was adjourned with jewels and tapestries. There was a alter with fresh fruit and different wines. Cassie looked at the room with less awe than the rest of us and more disgust.
"This is the chamber of the oracle." He said but no one answered him. We were all to aw inspired. Finally I spoke.
"We need to get out of here and come back with all of our other friends." I said everyone nodded in agreement. I took a step outside and saw someone I recognized Aaron.
"Hello, Cassandra." He said. Cassie stepped behind me and shot a look that I couldn't read at Aaron. I pulled out my sword but it was hopeless because he had a gun. Kasey clenched her hand and a shield of the cave water came around us but I knew that we had to run because she couldn't hold it for very long. We all ran for the camp and as we were running Aaron screamed.
"I'll be seeing you soon, Miss Anderson!" His new voice made me shake with fear.
