Celestial Immortal

CASSIA POV

~CASSIA~

I don't think he knows it but I see Charlie sneak a glance in my direction when he says some won't come home and I get a little scared. Not that I really have a home to go to but it's still a nice feeling to want to go to a home. To tell yourself that you have people out there who love you, and that people miss you since they all believe you're dead. All I want is not just somewhere to call my home but someone that is my home. I'm an orphan, I'll never have that. No parent wants a troublesome, dyslexic, 12 year old girl that has ADHD. Also I'm dead. No one wants a ghost daughter. Although I should've been dead many times before now. There was the fire incident, the earthquake, the storm, it's like all of nature is trying to kill me. I've been wondering lately though if it's the Gods trying to kill me. But why would they want to do that. Then I get an idea. I can't believe I haven't thought of this sooner. I've always believed that my parents were dead but what if they aren't?

"Charlie?" I call. He flies a little closer. We've only been flying a little bit but I can now clearly see the mountains of Montana. It's also much quieter. "Before... you said... You said that I am a... A Demigod? So that means that I do have parents? Or at least, parent? Let alone a God for a parent?" I ask. I know that I shouldn't get my hopes up but I can't help it. He scratches his head and turns to look me in the eye. "Look, Cassia you are special somehow. I don't know how I can tell but I can. And you have something big ahead of you. But I can't determine your Godly parent until you're claimed. So yes you do have a parent but it might not even be an Olympian, they might be a minor God like Nike or Nemesis. It could be very dangerous for anyone with parents of the 'Big Twelve' let alone the 'Big Three.' I just want to get to camp safely." He says changing the subject. Somehow it makes me feel better knowing that I might have a home. If I live.

I smile at that thought, I'm finally a part of something, an adventure. Just a very dangerous adventure. Some part of me still believes its a dream though. Miss Contraire, the orphanage helper, always said I had a vivid imagination. She was about the only one that was nice to me and didn't treat me like a freak. Hopefully she cried at my funeral. I feel sorry though that she thinks I'm dead. I can probably never go to Seattle again.

We went through Montana in minutes and now were cruising through North Dakota. Charlie still looks anxious. "Charlie what's wrong? I thought we lost the monster." I ask. "THE monster? There's dozens of monsters on our trail. Some that can fly." He says. That wipes the smile clean off my face. Monsters that can fly are chasing us? We are so going to die! "How can we get away? We're going as fast as these horses can take us. They're already fatiguing." I say. He looks down at the horse and mumbles some words I can't understand. Then the horse neighs to his companions. I give Charlie a questioning look and he responds, "Energy charm." As if that explained everything. The horses do start to look a little better though. 'Thank you! We are forever in your debt.' I hear an angelic voice. I look around. "Who said that?" I ask. They all look confused. 'You can hear me? I said Thanks. Down here.' I hear it again. I look down and I see my horse looking me in the eye. My jaw drops. I'm talking to a horse. I'm officially crazy. I face palm! What am I? Queen of my little pony's?

"Where are we now, Charlie?" I ask trying to bring my mind away from what's really happening. We are really Demigods and are really in danger. I've already tried pinching many times and I'm going to have several bruises. This is not a dream. We are really on a journey of life or death. "Minnesota, I think" he surmises. Only 2 more states across until we reach New York. This is too good to be true, something has to go wrong. There is no way that we can make it all the way to New York without getting in some kind of danger. Although Minnesota doesn't seem to be the setting for 'SkyWar111.'

At that moment I hear an ear splitting, "CRACK!" Thunder rumbles and lightning flickers. 'Just Great' I think. The winds start to pick up and I see my Pegasus struggling to pick up air. Dust is spinning all around and lightning bolts are striking the ground beneath us. "Why are you punishing us?!?" I yell to the sky. The sky roars. "Charlie? What is going on?" I yell over the winds and thunder. More lightning rips across the sky.
