Hey guys quicker update this time. This is going to be a short chapter, because I like leaving you wonder more and wanted to ask me question about this story, which gets you to review. So yea, say hi to my Honors English teacher, who is glaring at me as I type this, if you review.

It started raining, of course it started to rain, that is the way of my luck, Nike doesn't favor me at all. I was too weak to stop the rain, so Zoe got soaked, she was on my back now, and my head and legs got wet as well.

"Thanks Zeus, I need to get wet after defeating an army of corn," I mumbled to myself, but the thunder rumbled, threatening me to shut my mouth.

I would have yelled at the sky more, but I had Zoe and I didn't need anything more happening to her. She snuggled into my back, my body temperature is a lot higher than most creatures, and mumbled something, incoherent.

"We are almost there, Nightshade, stay with me," I said, calmly, but I had no idea where we were.

The corn all looked the same, and probably couldn't stay focus if I went to the ground to find a piece of shelter for us.

"Does it help if I plead for you to stop," I swallowed a lump of what probably was my pride," Lord Zeus," I smiled at the sky, but the thunder god must have felt my fake sincerity.

The rain seemed fall fast and now the wind joined into its play with Zoe and me. I felt like screaming, it was all my fault, I had ran into the corn and gotten us lost.

The ground was growing wet and I was slipping, almost Zoe in the process. I felt my body temperature, dropping slowly, I need to find shelter and soon.

"Why do the gods, like making me miserable," I said to myself," they give me their children to watch over them, then they send them on dangerous quests to get killed or die from a monster fight when the gods call me to Olympus."

My stomach dropped and I realized," No, no this better not be one of those times, Athena, no," I sprinted forward, but tripped and fell.

"Kara, what is wrong, where are thou and company," I must have jostled her awake.

"Nothing wrong, but I don't know," I said shaking the mud off of me, Zoe had gotten off my back.

"Thee and company are lost, why don't thou do thou's earth magic and find, Fisher's house," she had a hopefully expression, but that went away quickly when she noticed how I was carrying myself, "how much and which ones."

"Fire, killed an army of Karpoi and earth, to get up to the corn stalk you were in," I smiled sheepishly at her, because she had made it abundantly clear no powers until the end of the month, which was a month away.

Pain flared up in my shoulder as Zoe punched it," Thou is an idiot, thee told thou to rest, what does thou do, she runs, jumps, and uses magic," she took a deep breathe, and I realized that she was crying," thee can't lose thou again."

I moved forward and pulled her close to me, calling all body heat, I had left in me, and pushed it over to her.

"Hey, hey I'm here and alive, you have never lost me and never will, Hera is not here," I brushed the tears and rain off her cheeks, and just for a moment, I felt the urge to kiss her like old times, but times had changed.

"Please never die," she said into my chest.

I wanted to promise her that I wouldn't, but I couldn't lie to her. I just pulled her closer to me, protecting her from the rain and maybe the outside world of truth.

So, that was a lot untold which I will try to tell in during the story. So please, comment, review, or do whatever so I know I'm not talking to myself again.

Question of the day: Have any of you read "That was Then, This is Now" by S.E. Hinton, tell me how you felt about it if you have.
