Immortals of Olympus

I Visit the Stuff Under My Bed.(Memphis)

Memphis- I Visit the Stuff Under My Bed.

I sat on the couch in Iliad’s house replaying the revelation that just happened. Iliad and Atlanta sat on the couch just as stunned. Iliad was looking at her Iris-Phone at a text message she received and Atlanta staring as if she was trying to figure out who did stole the orbs.

….(Flashback)...

It has to be around here somewhere”  I said “You have been checking on Jason everyday.” I had seen it this morning, she had on the coffee table in the main floor living room, but here we are in the main floor living room looking at a coffee table that is orbless (if that is a word). “ Memphis and Atlanta, you guys  keep looking for it, I will just get my mom or dad’s orb” Iliad replied as she went upstairs.

I got on the floor and crawled around looking under the furniture and tables. Atlanta picked up blankets and pillow then put them where they belonged, once she was done with that she started looking in drawers. I heard Iliad come down the stairs, “Guys, my parents’ orbs are missing also.” she stated with a worried tone.

“No worry,” I said getting off the floor “Iliad, use your Iris-Phone to text your parents, see if they moved the orbs and Atlanta can help you keep looking, I will just go to my house and use mine or my fathers.” I replied. I went downstairs and grabbed my backpack and went out the downstairs walkout. I started walking over to my house and went in through our walkout.

My bedroom is in the basement (probably the best place if you want a good night’s sleep), like Iliad’s, our basement is finished. I went into my room and started looking for my orb. The last place I saw it was on my desk and (like Iliad’s) I know I had saw it today. Maybe it just fell off my desk. I looked around my desk and could not find it so I looked under my bed.

Let’s just say I haven’t been or cleaned under my bed for years. It is an abyss of partial deck of cards, homework assignments that have been missing, soda cans, socks that are stiff as cardboard, and about anything imaginable. I put my hand under my bed and started searching until I found a rotting banana peel. Then I decided that it just safer to ask my dad to borrow his orb.

I went up the stairs quietly so I didn’t wake any of my siblings and found my dad in the living room. “Hey dad?” I asked. “What is it son?” he asked, my father is Icarus, the guy who flew too close to the sun, they made him the god of aviation (the science of flying) and pilots (good thing he is better at flying now). “Can I borrow your orb” I said. “ Sure thing Memphis, its in my room.” he answered.

We went my parents room. Dad went over to the dresser, after a moment he looked confused. “Well I thought it was here.” he mumbled.  I looked around for mom’s orb and saw it wasn’t in the room either. A thought hit me in the head like a brick, “someone stole our orbs,” it makes sense because  my parents and mine are missing, Iliad’s is gone along with her parents, and I bet you Atlanta’s is missing also. “ You know what Dad, I don’t need to use the orb anymore.” I stated as I walked out of the room. As quickly (and quietly) as I could I went downstairs, and walked out of the walkout, then spirited to Iliad’s house.

I ran up the stairs to the living room where Iliad and Atlanta were still looking. “ Guys” I said catching my breath “ I think our orbs were stolen.” I finished sitting on the couch. “Why would someone do that?” questioned Atlanta. Just then our worst fears were confirmed as Iliad got a text from her parents saying that they didn’t know where the orbs were.

… (Flashback ended)...

Now we are stuck wonder who would steal orbs.
