The God's Girl (cancelled)

Ba trip

~Thella~three weeks later~

Naturally, my ba wouldn't let me sleep in peace. I fought it for a little while before letting my soul go where it wanted.

"What did you do?" Zeus yelled at some girl. She was maybe thirteen.

"I didn't take her." The girl whispered.

"You took her! How is she supposed to save them now? She can't!" Zeus screamed.

"I don't have her! Why would I lie about this! Creating Thella was my idea! Why would I mess it up?" The girl insisted.

"Husband. Don't interrogate her here. You are disturbing the gods." A pretty lady with a silver dress stepped forward. I guessed she was Hera because of her peacock-feather crown.

"Don't tell me what do to!" Zeus whirled on her. His eyes blazed with anger. "That girl was our tool! She quite possibly is being taught to hate the gods! We were going to train her, have her do her task, and then kill her! But this fool of a goddess decided to thwart our plans!" He pointed to the girl with a large crackling lightning bolt.

The girl gasped. "You-you promised. You said you wouldn't kill her."

"I won't." Zeus agreed. "But you will."

Her eyes flashed defiantly. "Never!"

"HESTIA! You will do as I say!"

"Husband." Hera warned. "Don't--"

"Take her to the cave." Zeus ordered Hera.

"Zeus! You can't!"

"I can and I will! Do it!" Zeus stalked out of the room.

Hera looked down. "Come, Hestia. We don't want to make him any angrier then he is." She led Hestia out. As Hestia was passing my invisible form, she whispered "Save us. Save the camps. I am so sorry."

I woke up in cold sweat and gasping. What was that? Sadie said that now the I am equivalent to a thirteen year old I would have ba trips more frequently but that dream... Gods of Egypt, was that real?

It reminded me of last nights dream. Egyptian gods were looking for a girl named Thellanaklea.

I clutched the red blanket that Sadie, Carter, and Walt had found me in. I took a deep breath and fell back asleep. But my ba wasn't finished.

Zeus sauntered into a dark cave with a large bucket of lightning bolts. It would have been pitch black if not for the light they were radiating. Hestia stood in chains in the back.

"Where is she?" Zeus hissed.

"I. Don't. Know."

"I don't believe you." Zeus raised his lightning bolt.

Normally I couldn't control what I did during these trips. But I did this time. Quickly, I turned and floated away as fast as I could. But I could still hear Hestia's scream.

"THELLA!" A bucket of ice cold water was poured over me.

"AHH!" I bolted upright, slamming into Zia Rashid, who was leaning over me.

"Ouch." She grumbled.

"Sorry." I was surrounded by Zia, Carter, Sadie and Walt. "What are you doing here?" I mumbled.

"You were screaming. Loudly." Walt answered.

"Oh. Was the water really necessary?"

Sadie snorted. "We tried cold water, hot water, ice cubes, magic, and an air horn. We are lucky you woke up when we did five at the same time."

I blushed. "What time is it?"

"Eight-thirty."

I stood up quickly. "What? I was supposed to be awake an hour ago!"

"You wouldn't wake up." Walt shrugged.

I groaned. "Get out."
