Lost Not Forgotten Novel: Midas Story

chapter 4

I didn't look behind me to see what could be happening. I just wanted to escape. I ran, hoping and trying to convince myself that nothing happened. We hurried home, and we quickly entered the house as soon as we arrived.

I ran up to my room with Skye still holding on to the rope cord. I ran in and quickly closed the door. Then I let go of the cord, quickly ran to the corner of the room and sat down, trying to process what happened.

I ran my fingers through my hair in anxiousness. I had no idea what to do. My heart was pounding, I was shaking, I was so stressed out.

Skye walked over to me not too long later. "Dad, are you okay?" She asked.

"No, I'm not feeling okay! Do you realize what I just did back there?! I caused total destruction and now people know that I exist and now they're probably looking for me and trying to hunt me down!" I told her.

"Don't worry Dad I'm sure it's not that bad! Just relax." Skye said trying to make me at ease.

Later Dionysus appeared and entered. He saw us talking, Skye trying to calm me down and me still panicking.

Soon enough he spoke, "Midas, I saw what happened. I hope you're prepared for what you've done. This problem won't be easy to fix."

"Well, is there a solution? Is there even a way we can fix things and make things normal again?!" I said in distress.

"Look, we all have been trying to come up with a plan. It won't be easy to perform though since there are so many people we need to get over with."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Look. What we've come up with is that we can wipe the memories of everyone that saw you that witnessed the tragedy and repair the damage. It will take a while though. And you can't stay here either. People are looking for you. So in the meantime, you and Skye will have to go far away from here,and don't let the people searching for you capture you."

"Wait, what will they want to capture him for?" Skye asked.

"Well, since they know Midas exists now, they will start hunting him down to see what else he is capable of. And they especially now are trying to know why he has his powers."

"Wait, so they're trying to take Dad's powers?"

"Precisely."

"But they can't take Dad's powers! They're designed to only affect him and can't be transferred in any way possible!"

"Skye" I signaled her to stop talking.

She turned in my direction and saw what I meant.

"You know I always wondered why they only affect you too." She mumbled to herself.

"Okay, so like I said, you will need to run as fast as you can. Don't let them catch you. And if they do, well, try to fight back okay?"

I felt hopeless no matter what Dionysus said, but I understood what he said I had to do. So then we agreed, and we began to prepare.
