Daughter of the Sky

Chapter 6

Naomi Pov :
It was the middle of the night when I woke up. I looked around and saw Jason sleeping peacefully on his bed that was on the second side of the cabin. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to take the nearest blanket and sit on it in front of the cabin entrance. In a moment, I quietly closed doors behind me and sat on the ground. After yesterday's events, I was having a lot to think about. First , I was just running from my another foster family like I used to do many times before. Then I get injured and get help from a Satyr. Really? Next, I was taking into camp for demigods. D-E-M-I-G-O-D-S. Crazy. Also, I get to know that I HAVE a father, the king of the Sky and Gods, who is like 10.000+. Typical information you get to know after having wonderful trauma in age of 8 :). Now, it also seems that I have a brother. Who is twice times older than me. But to be honest, I have a feeling that he will be an important person for me. Like I know, I can't trust easily, but we are a family, at least by our father side. He also seems to be honest when he is saying that he wants to make me feel cared for. I can't say that I'm not tired after having to do everything on my own for the last 2 years. I was also always jealous of kids who have a lovely family and have a carefree childhood. Something that I lost that one day when my stepfather comes back to home drunk and...ohhh... mom... I started crying. I hate thinking of it. I wish Zeus could claim me than so I could maybe use some of his cool powers to avoid it...damn. What I am even saying? Gods. I don't even know what kind of powers I have from him, and probably it will take time until I introduce some lighting or whatever, by chance. Jason also probably won't teach me soon cause I need to take everything step by step. Slowly and easy. Perfect, I couldn't even try to save her. I still hear her voice through my mind. Mostly her last words that were :
I love you. That was always broking me more than anything.

Jason Pov :
I was close to panic when I didn't saw Naomi in her bed. After I searched every end in the cabin, I checked outside part. Fortunately, she was there, but her expression on her face broke me. I immediately sat down next to her and pulled her into a hug. After a moment, I spoke quietly :
- Hey, hey, what is it? Why were you crying? - I said in a caring voice
- I was just thinking of everything what happened, and well also about my mom. ~ she said sadly
- Get it. Past isn't easy to think of, so the events with your mom too. I don't know how she was like, but I believe that she never loses faith with you.
- But maybe I could help her if I just knew earlier about Zeus. Maybe it was a chance if I just could ask for his help or at least to him show me how to use electricity...
- Naomi, listen. You were just 6 years old. And unfortunately, our godly parents aren't interacting with us as much as we would want to. I saw only once Zeus by myself, and it was around 3 weeks ago before the last battle of prophecy that I was part of. I hate to tell you this, but we as demigods can't rely much on our parents cause they usually don't care as much as they should. So I don't think he would even listen to you. Just honestly. I'm sorry. But even if somehow you were managed to use your powers, without training, it could be very dangerous, and take to situation close or even worst ending.
- Ohhh...~ Naomi said sadly. ~
- Look, I know that your mother was important for you and you care deeply about her. But you shouldn't feel guilty about what happened. I know, I know, it's easy to say but it wasn't your fault, really. Your stepfather was a bad person, but it were his actions, not yours. And all of it can't define you. At least not in negative way. You were completely lost in this world but here you are. Because of your strength you were able to survive and find a way to get here. So please gave yourself a chance. Your mother would want you to do it for sure.
- I know...~ she said
- Remember that you are not alone anymore and you can talk with me anytime, even in the night about everything. Okey? I know we barley know each other but as I already told you many times during those hours, I want what is the best for you and want to be by your side in spite of all. I promise that I won't never judge you. I just want to listen what is inside of that head of yours and help as much as I will be able to.
~ she looked up at me and gave me small smile ~
I smiled back and said :
- Here we go, I also want you to be child you are cause you deserve it more than anything. So let me be a big brother and be there for you the whole time, okey? If you didn't wanted to talk we can always just sit together in silence but never, ever far away from each other. Deal?~ I said softly. ~
- Deal. ~ she said and snuggled into me. ~
- Also promise to next time wake up me when you want to go outside? Cause you scared me for a moment
- I'm sorry, I promise. ~ she said softly. I chuckled when she said that she was sorry and gently kissed her on forehead. ~
- Shall we get back to cabin?
- Yeah
Then I picked her up and carried her over her bed and lay down on it. I stayed next to her for a moment until she was sleeping. When I saw her dozing off I take a way over my own bed and with that also fallen asleep.

Well it's seems this is the longest chapter for now. I hope that kind of night talk is up for you and that you enjoyed it 🙌

And by the way I wanted to tell that all of the photos I am using are from Pinterest. So I'm not thinking of them as mine basically, just as a help to make this look more creative.
