I stood there staring at myself in the mirror at the leather armor I was wearing; it was my mother's and the last thing I had left of her. I wondered if I looked like her and if she would be proud of me and Helios. I hope she is; otherwise, she will be proud of what I'm gonna do. As my brain ran rampant, my breathing got louder, and it was the only sound in my room, if you could even call it that. In the corner were a bunch of blankets I had made into my bed and a wardrobe, plus my mirror and the odd bloody rag on the ground.
I was snapped out of my thoughts as my father called for me to hurry up and leave; my brother had left a few minutes before me, and my father and stepmum were waiting for me to leave, probably in excitement, hoping I was going to die.
I quickly grabbed my sword off the ground, stapping it to my back before slinging my pack over my shoulder, walking out of my room, and down the stairs.
I looked up and out at the parapet. Holy shit, I was terrified, but I had to do this for Mum and Helios and to prove my little bitch of my brother and father wrong that was strong and that Mum's name would live on. I sighed. Okay, shit, here I go, I thought, before turning to the scribe, taking names, "what's your name" he asked, bored. "Hestia celtigar"
After that, I was off and up the stairs.
I panted as I was walking up the stairs. My shirt rubbed into the wounds on my back, making them itch. But that all went away when I heard a familiar voice. It was Violet, my best friend. I turned around, looking at her, relieved but also worried about why she was there. "Violet," I called out her name. Happy tears filled her eyes as she ran up the stairs to her best friend. It had been so long since I had seen her.
"How are you?" I asked her, smiling, happy that she was here and I had gotten to see her. " I'm as good as I can be with the whole I might die thing, but how are you?" I chuckled softly at her answer; Violet is my closest friend, really my only friend, the only person outside my family to know about my episodes."I am good now that you are here. I missed you," I smiled at her as we continued to walk up the stairs. Chating as we walked, she introduced me to a girl, Rihanna, who was really pretty, and a boy named Daniel, who was engaged, which was something. As we walked up the stairs, my thoughts wandered to my brother. How was he? Was he happy? Is he okay? My brother Helios left three years ago to become a dragon rider and continue with our mother's dream, leaving me at the mercy of my half-brother Jack, my father, and my stepmother.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when someone fell into my legs, almost making me fall, but thanks to me being solid, I stayed up when I looked down to see the culprit, a little girl."I'M SO SORRY!" the curly brown-haired girl quickly yells. "It's okay Μην ανησυχείς γι' αυτό". The girl looks at me, confused, but nods anyway. I reach my hand down to help her up and put my hand behind her back to steady her. I hear her mumble a small thank you. I nod and keep walking up the stairs together in comfortable silence before we finally reach the girl still clinging to me.
I saw Violet being corned by some guy, but he wasn't any guy. He was the hottie guy I have ever seen. He was tall, with brown hair, tanned skin, beautiful brown eyes, a toned body, and ahhh, those arms could do things to me.
Wait, pause, stop that, Hestia. I told myself as I walked closer to where Violet was and conveniently next to Rihanna; I waved at her suddenly as I heard Violet and the Hot man arguing about his dad killing Brennen and her mum killing his dad. This made me snap out of my daydream of the man realizing who he was

as they were arguing, I walked over to a quiet place with the brown-haired girl following. As I crouched down to her height, I said, "Okay, so it's my turn next, so I'll meet you on the other side, okay?" she nodded, looking at the one person that has helped her the only one that converted her and she was scared she would never see her again." so when you step off the parapet you find me okay, and don't look down got it" the girl nods again "okay good be safe" was the last thing she said before walking over to the parapet "my name is belladonna" the girl I know knew as Belladonna said me " nice to meet you belladonna I'm Hestia" was the last thing I said before I turned around.
Walking over to the roll keeper, I looked at Violet and Rihanna, ignoring xaden as he stared at me. "I'll see you both on the other side, okay?" Violet only nodded. "May we meet again" I last said to them before walking to the parapet. I prayed to Hestia, my namesake, and Hecate to protect me.As I stepped onto the parapet, my heart beat out of my chest. The rain was beating down on my skin like whip lashes. I walked slowly and sadly, resisting the gods out loud.
"Zeus: the king of the gods and the most powerful. He was the god of the sky and thunder and controlled the weather. And a total man whore."
As I said, the wind blew against me, and I lost my balance. It was probably Zeus having a hissy fit after calling him a whore, but No, I won't die. I have to see my brother again; I have to stay alive. I have to keep going for Violet, for my mum, for Belladonna, and myself.
Hecate
stay alive
Poseidon
stay alive
was all that ran through my head as I walked across the parapet. My mind cleared, and as my feet hit the ground, I was alive.
