Ransom

Chapter 2: Allie Grace

Allie was just talking to Luke like she normally did, next to the lake that is, when she fainted. Luke freaked out and ran to his father for help.

Allie dreamt of things that she had never seen before. She dreamt of the Underworld.

It was not at all what she expected, to say the least.

Instead of Elysium being the happy, bright place that she was once told about, it was dark and scary. People ran about with no recollection of what was happening. Allie saw someone that looked very familiar.

She had only seen the statue of her 10,000 times. It was her aunt, Allie White. Allie ran with her sword drawn. She sliced at any monster that got in her way. Man, she really was a fantastic fighter. Allie ran into someone, a boy. They talked for a moment and started to run away from what once was Elysium.

There was a flash of light and the next thing that Allie saw was her aunt and the boy running away from a river of fire, being chased by winged monsters. There was another flash of light and Allie saw her aunt and the boy running towards an army of monsters. They killed any monster that was in their way with great skill and precision. Well, you can't kill a monster if it was already dead, but the monsters disappeared and didn't come back to that spot.

Anyways, they got to a set of doors that all of the monsters had been gathered around and talked for a few minutes. This time though, Allie could hear her aunt. "Are you sure that this will work?" The boy asked.

"While at judgement, I heard it loud and clear that the doors opened once every year or something to let out a new batch of monsters. This time, it'll be us, not monsters. Just trust me, Castor." Aunt Allie said.

Castor replied "Gods, someone's got an attitude." Aunt Allie rolled her eyes and asked in reply "Do you want to get out of here?"

"Yes." Castor replied. "Then shut up." Aunt Allie said in return. Castor rolled his eyes and smirked. He watched as Aunt Allie fiddled around with a remote that she had found on the ground. "What are you doing?" He asked her. Then, Aunt Allie clicked a button and the doors opened. "Looks like they've gotten an upgrade, huh?" Aunt Allie asked Castor. His mouth hung open. "Careful, you could catch flies." She said with a small smile.

There was a sickening voice heard behind them. "Allie White!" It screeched. Castor shoved Allie into the elevator doorway and said "Let's go!"

Allie pulled Castor in and slammed a button on the remote that closed the door just as the monsters came up to the door. It had been the same monsters that were at the fire river. They looked like demon grandmothers with their leathery skin and their cracked voices.

That was when little Allie Grace woke up in the infirmary. "Daddy?" She asked. "I'm right here, sweetie." Jason said.

"I had a dream." little Allie said to her father. "What of?" Jason asked her. And so Allie explained her dream. Jason listened intently and nodded at times. "Allie, are you one hundred percent sure that that's what you saw?" Jason asked her. "I'm one hundred and one percent sure that that was what I saw." Allie replied. "Honey, promise me you will not tell anyone what you saw unless I say it's okay." Jason asked his daughter.

"Pinkie swear." She said as she held out her pinkie. He stuck out his own pinkie and grabbed hers.

Allie stood up from the bed and said "I'm hungry." Jason smiled at her and said "It's lunch time now, let's go."

Allie smiled and held her father's hand as they exited the infirmary.

Once they got to the dinning hall, they sat at their respected tables. There really were no tables dedicated to a god anymore. Everyone sat at whatever table they wanted to, but it was still separated. The children sat at one end of the cafeteria and the adults at the other.

Allie was bombarded by questions from the other kids on as to why she fainted. She just merely said "I don't know." because she genuinely didn't know.

Soon enough, lunch was over and it was time for swords fighting classes. Allie looked over to the adults table and noticed that her mother was not there. Where was she?

When everyone started to disperse from the dining hall, Allie ran up to her father. "Daddy," she asked "where's mommy?"

Jason looked at the others as he knelt down so that he was eye-level with his daughter. "I'll tell you later. Promise." He said. "Pinkie swear?" Allie asked.

"Pinkie swear and cross my heart." Jason said in reply. Allie beamed at him. "Now, go to your swords-fighting lesson." Jason said to her. She nodded enthusiastically and darted off.

Allie really hoped that her mother was alright.
