Clio:The Forgotten Goddess
"CLIO GET YOU AND YOUR TERRIBLE AND USELESS BROTHER UP AND OUT OF MY FUCKING HOUSE AND MAKE SURE HE MAKES IT ON TIME I'M TIRED OF THOSE PEOPLE CALLING ME." My foster mom Tamy screeches through the house.
I rise up from my old deteriorating bed as a spring pops up and hits my back. I let out a whimper and as quickly as it leaves my throat, it's gone. I look around my room and see there is nothing to see. Just a bed and a door. I wear the same pair of clothes. Pajamas to wear when my work clothes are in the wash. I sigh as I start to walk to my foster brother's room, and I see the mirror in the hallway bathroom. I enter the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I noticed how my dark black hair looks like it has tangled knots like a shoelace. My gray clothing was matching my mood: my face was decorated with pimples and blemishes. After I'm done I take a deep breath and continue the walk to Feliem's room. I knocked on the door signaling that I was entering.
Before I could even speak I locked onto his eyes.They were filled with sadness and I almost broke down. I sat down on his bed and outstretched my hands. He immediately unraveled from the blanket and nearly knocked me over connecting the hug.
"I HATE IT HERE!" He screams into my stomach.

I rub circles on his back as I try to collect my words. Before I speak I notice how my body begins to glow a golden color. It always happens when I take off my gray clothing (which is why I wear it) and when Feliem gets like this. His cries start to wind down.I cup his face and turn his face upward so he's looking at me.
"Buddy I know I hate it here too,but once I turn 18 I am getting us out of here. Just two more months'' I say as confidently as my mentality lets me.
Letting go of his face I noticed how a strand of red hair stands at the top of his head and how his eyes are pools of brown sadness. I see his shirt rise up as he yawns.Bruises stamped on his stomach.He starts to hiss as my hands immediately go to it.
"Did Tamy do this?" I question angrily
" Doesn't matter if she did you can't do anything about it Clio"
He's right, it hurts that he's right. I get up and start to lay out his clothes that I bought
him. A gray hoodie and gray sweatpants. With gray work boots. Hell, even gray underwear and socks. Exactly what I wear everyday besides a bra. I took him shopping when Tamy was off with some date. I told him whatever he wanted he could have. Now that brings us to today dressing the same.
"What makes you think I can't do anything about it?" As I focus back into the conversation.
He starts to get up and get dressed. "Because if you do then Ms.Tamy will kick you out and then I'll be h-here by m-myself. Please, please don't do anything!"
I go over to him and give him a hug to reassure him I'm going nowhere.
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face and be ready to leave in ten minutes."

He leaves for our bathroom. As I go to my bedroom to get dressed. As I enter my room I see Tamy sitting on my bed with that resting ugly bitch face.
"Hey so I was doing laundry and saw you had done a load. But then I realized something. Did your ungrateful ass ask?" She sneers
"Didn't think I needed to" I ask as I just stand there.
Her face drops as she continues "Well you do so I felt like this was a good lesson for you to learn.So I dropped your pathetic clothing off to goodwill. She laughs as she exits the room. My anger starts to bubble up and I can't control myself.
"You FUCKING BITCH. THAT'S WHAT I WEAR TO WORK. WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS? I yelled not even noticing Feliem standing outside his room.
"Because I don't fucking like you so get out of my house you loud freak."
I calmed down and looked over to see Feliem. Grabbing his hand and started moving through the house to leave. We step outside to the summer rays and windy blows.
"Hey stay right here for me real quick" I smile to Feliem and went back into the house to see Tamy in the kitchen. I rush towards her as her back is turned. I grabbed her neck and she stiffened.
"If you ever hit or even think about hitting Feliem again I promise you will regret it. I will make sure of it. The only reason we're still in this house is because I'm not 18 and I haven't raised enough money for us to leave this disgusting dehumanizing home."
She tries to get out of my hold and I tightened my grip.
"Don't even think about kicking me out either. There are only three of us that live in this house, so if it comes down to me and you best believe that he loves me and hates you, I suggest you treat us better before you spend the rest of your life somewhere worse than here." I finalized

my threat and let go of her neck. I smile towards her, she turns around and looks at me with a mix of anger and fear. I leave the house not without slamming the door.
"Everything okay sis?" I look at Feliem who is now standing at the end of the driveway. "Yep don't worry, trust me" I said determined as we started to walk.
"Please tell me we aren't going to Fill Your Cart Mart."
I smile and shake his hair as we continue to walk exactly there.

Part 2
"The gods are coming, the gods are coming!!!!" Old guy Lucas said
After arriving at my job I told Feliem to go to the break room and get some rest. He falls
asleep at school since he isn't getting sleep at home. The school threatened to kick him out so now I don't let him go unless he is fully rested. That brings me to listening to Old Guy Lucas and his ... theories.
"So when you say the gods are coming do you mean they're coming here or just down to earth?" I know I shouldn't entertain this idea but I can't help myself.
"They're coming to Fill Your Cart Mart!!!!" He exaggerated.

I take a second to look around before I respond. Why would they come here? I mean it's not a bad place to shop but the tiles were starting to come up,the lights would flicker,and it's not like we have an inventory. We get a truck every 2 months.
"Whatever you say Lucas" I giggled to myself. Lucas is the only person in my life that I trust besides Feliem. He knows my situation which is why he doesn't care that Feliem sleeps in the breakroom. Lucas always has a shiny outlook on life. His gray hair came down to the middle of his back. Blue glasses that are always falling off his face. Green eyes that suited well with his tan skin.
"You wanna tell me why you're wearing pajamas?" Heat rushes to cheeks as I look down to see that I'm indeed still wearing my pajamas. Just as I'm about to respond and give him my daily Tamy rant I hear a bang at the door. Can people not read these days?
"The hours clearly say 10-9 why are you banging on the door at 8:30!"I say slightly irritated. The banging continues but this time Lucas runs to the front of the store.
"Don't go up there, it could be robbers!!! I said. I was genuinely worried because I don't know what I'd do if I lost Lucas.
"Or the GODS!!!" He shouts. Like clockwork my stomach turns and starts to cramp.
I start booking it to the bathroom. The door to the bathroom was an old one and took forever to open. I yank it open and rush in. Immediately I'm hit with the stench of yellow piss on the ground.
"I swear to gods do these people not know how to sit on the fucking toliet." I go to the sink to rinse my face with water. When I noticed in the mirror that my skin was glowing such a bright gold color that it could challenge the sun. I ran to the toilet. My body starts lurching forward. I let the puke flow through my body.

"I just have to use the bathroom, just give me five minutes and we will leave " I turned my face in horror to the bathroom door. A lady walks in with the same glowing skin as mine but more of a pinkish tone. She has long black hair like mine,brown eyes that's seen a lot,scars that tell stories,she wore a blue dress with yellow heels. She almost looks like ...me? Well besides the crown on top of her head. She looks down at me and her eyes widen. Her skin starts to glow as bright as mine.
"Your skin is glowing, it's GLOWING" She exclaimed.
"Yeah I notice that thanks for pointing that out." She steps closer to me and my goldish glow starts to turn pink. She comes straight down to the toilet where I am and puts her hand to my face. She lifts my hand and lifts it up to connect with hers. All of a sudden my body starts to tingle and a pain erupts through my body. I screech out and she does as well.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THIS PAIN!!!!" I yell out and look over at her pained look set on her face.
"I JUST HAVE TO SEE SOMETHING. HOLD ON IT'S ABOUT TO BE OVER." She tries to reassure me. All of a sudden the pain subsides and I look over to see this stranger lady with her eyes closed breathing heavily.
"You wanna tell me what that was and why please tell me WHY you did that to me." I say calmly. She opens her mouth to speak but then looks up above me and her mouth forms into a smile. I look up to see a crown floating in the air. I shuffle off the floor away from the lady that's still on the floor. I gather my thoughts and start to run to the door to leave. The next words she says stops me from moving anywhere.
"You're my daughter"
