Chapter 12
Herme's POV
Cassie gets us up early the next morning.
She wakes us up with a gong a gong!
"Ahhhhh no not the moon monster!" Tracey screams and covers her hears.
"The moon monsters not here." Cassie yells
"Sorry it's too dark I can't hear you." Tracey responds
Cassie flicks the lights on and Tracey screams again "Ahhhh it got me!" She falls down onto Liz's bed.
"Stop it, get up everyone we have things to talk about!" Cassie yells and walks down stairs.
We all sluggishly follow her, we all know what's in store.
When we get downstairs we hear a knock on our old wooden door.
"Oh let's go-oh wait this is a different place."Angela says her enthusiasm level decreasing
"I'll jut do it the old fashioned way, open the door." Cassie says and opens the door. An old lady appears. She was an old clock and is wearing a hood so we can't see her head.
"Hello dearies, do you by any chance have any food or something." She croaks
"Excuse me?" I ask sassily
"I asked for food, what else do you think I'm asking for-I mean maybe you could spare something for an old widow?" She was suspiciously
"Sorry we are not supposed to talk to strangers." Liz says and gives us all the eye and all (but Cassie) nod in agreement.
"Yeah sure we could-ROB YOU! Get her sissys." Angela yells and jumps on top of her.
"What is going on here?" She yells
We dig through her pockets and find nothing much, we get some cash and toss the rest on the floor.
"That was not wise of you children." She suddenly hisses.
Then she starts to glow and she stands up straight and starts to levitate in the air.
She rips of her clock and a dark blue flowing dress appears.
The glowing girl stops glowing and she falls back onto the ground.
We see a bright and pretty face staring back at us. It is a face of a young woman with a proud look on it.
She had long brown hair and stormy grey eyes. In her hair is a crown that looks to be made out of some kind of leaves.
One of the creepiest things about her is that she has a long golden spear and a shield, with a creepy snake ladies face on it.
"Who are you?" I ask shakily
"Do not be afraid, for I am the goddess Athena and I come bearing news." She says proudly
"What news?" Cassie asks looking pretty calm, after just witnessing an old lady become some glowing goddess girl.
"There is trouble stirring. I went to the Oracle and she told me a prophecy, one about you five." The goddess says calmly
"What's a prophecy?" Angela asks
"Is it a fancy word for a wanted poster, because we already know about that." Tracey says cutely
Athena knits her eyebrows "No, A prophecy is a fancy word for a prediction or something that someone thinks will happen in the future, but prophecies are always accurate, they have never been wrong since.." She trails off
"What is it?" Liz asks
"5 children of the thief
Shall head south to meet the chief
They shall save the hunters faun
Before the sunset of summers dawn."
"Oh well that is confusing." I state
"It's easy clearly we have to go to the Bahamas, meet the owner of some fancy hotel, then save our poor selves by having fun at the beach, and finally come back before summer's over ." Tracey says like it is obvious
"I'm not so sure that's what we have to do." Cassie says slowly
"Do you have a better idea?" Angela chips in
"I do how about we ask Athena." I say and then suddenly a gust of wind appears and I hear a small pop, we shield our eyes.
When the smoke clears away there is a scent of olives and some feathers on the ground.
"Looks like we have to figure it out ourselves."
