Jonah:Ellie, I wanted to ask you something...
Ellie:???
Jonah:When we 1st met with Prometheus,he said that death was never at your favor and...back at the pet cemetery...Aaron said you may die again...you also said that you already died...
(Ellie turns her head)
Ellie: ...
Jonah:You weren't being dramatic when you say it?...we're you?...
Ellie:No...it's all true...I wanted to tell you...but...I through if I did,you wouldn't want me on this quest with you...
Ellie:Years ago,my mother had an affair with my dad,Zeus.It was a few days after marrying my step-father that she learned that she was pegnant with his child.I grew up the 1st years of my life thinking that her husband was my real "father".
Jonah:But what happened then?...
Ellie:On my 5th birthday,my parents took me to Canada where we spend the day skiing on the snowing mountain.However,when we were on our way home,a snowstorm hit in the area and the roads were icy.My step-father couldn't see the signs because of the snow and...we crashed on the edge of a cliff...
Jonah:That's really sad,But,how did you survive?
Ellie:I didn't...
Jonah:😳
Ellie:I was supposed to die that night,Jonah.My father,Zeus,have already lose one of his children once.He couldn't help to lose another one.So he broke the rules to bring me back.Before Hermes could retrieve my soul,Zeus conjured the most powerful bolt of Lightning and use it to give me life again.I woke up and the 1st thing I saw was my parents' death bodies...and an Electric Blue holographic thunderbolt above of my head.After that,I moved with my Uncle,who is much of a busy man.He's never at home very much.I had to learn how to be independent at a very young age.
Jonah:Ellie,I...I didn't know you've been through all that...
Ellie:It's okay.It's not always lonely.Dad usually comes to visit sometimes,but for a limited time only...
Jonah:That's the real reason why you admire her,because she's even through she might hate you, she's like a mother figure to you...
Ellie:(with a tear on her eye)😢Wrong...She's the only mother I have left...
(Ellie starts crying)
(Jonah hugs Ellie)
Ellie:(crying/being hugged by Jonah)I'm sorry,it's just...I've never talked about this with other people before...it brings memories...painful memories...
Jonah:(hugging Ellie)It's okay,Ellie.It's alright.
Ellie:(crying/being hugged by Jonah)You must be disappointed to see me like this,but...I really miss them,Jonah.I really do.
Jonah:(hugging Ellie)There's nothing to be ashamed of,Ellie.It's okay to miss someone.We all miss someone.I miss my mom...and my dad...and Percy...
