Children of the Heroes: Alpha

Piper

When I opened my eyes, it was dark.  So dark that closing my eyes and opening them didn't really change anything.

I began to run things over in my head, to try to find out what had happened to me.  and where was Jason?  And Clare...

I tried hard to remember something.

Ah hah!

I remembered being carried away by a flying bat like creature.

I remember Jason telling me everything would be okay.

Then darkness again.

Wait...

I could remember some more...

The Earth.  The cold, dark earth.

That's where I am.

But where? 

How?

Why?

Every now and then I could feel a low rumble from beneath me.  It brought back some bad memories from long ago.

Then I could remember something else...

A bellowing voice yelling at another.

Wake up, it said.

I decided to sleep for awhile.

That was a mistake.

A had a dream about the Earth shouting to the Sky.  the earth wanted the Sky but the Sky could not come down unless...

The Earth and Sky noticed I was listening in on them and turned towards me.  The Earth lunged at me.

Then I woke up.

I then realized what had happened.

The Earth wants to awaken the sky.  

Gaea wants to awaken the sky.

The sky cannot be awoken until there is a sacrifice.

We are the sacrifice.  The seven of us.  

Why doesn't she just kill us now?  Unless we are not all in her grasp...

Oh, no....

She needs our children...

For a moment there was a flash of brighter light from a torch maybe.

I looked around and saw Jason, chained to a wall like I was.  

I looked across the room and saw Percy Jackson the same way.

Then I looked towards the source of the light and saw hope.

"Help them!" I screamed.

"Save the Children of the Heroes!!" 

The light slipped away.

I was left in darkness again.
