Afraid

Victoria's POV

I woke up with a heavy gasp. My eyes tried to focus on the light were i was, but it was only dark.

"Hello?" I mumbled. No-one answered.

I tried to stand but i felt wobbly and sick. Finally, after what seemed like years, the pain started to go away from my legs. The only pain left was around my heart. Why there? I asked myself. Then i remembered. Ally shoved her sword right through my heart. "Good shot," I remember saying.

"Ow," I groaned.

"State your name and species."

Huh?

"Ugh, demigod?" It came out like a question.

"Demigod?" Someone said.

I nodded but they probably couldn't see me in the dark.

"Sure. What about your name?"

I thought for a second. "Why do you want it?"

The person huffed. "Tell me already!"

No need to be snappy. I wanted to say.
"Victoria. Happy?"

The person sorted. "Very."

"And you? Your name?" I asked.

Footsteps echoed in the cave as they came closer.
"Brittany. Looks like we're both demigods. So, Which God?"

This time, I grunted. "Nike, Goddess of-"

"No."

Um?

"No?!" I spat.

The person came closer, I heard a sword being drawn.
"Nike is horrid reason for war. Her child Victoria shall pay!"

A sword came down right on top of me. I screamed and quickly dogged her bronze blade.

"What war?!" I screamed.

Brittany came at me again, but I kicked her hard in the gut.

"The war of gods! Have you been here your whole life or something?!"
War.
Of.
The.
Gods.
Crap!
"How?! I can't, this can't"

Brittany came again and hit me in the arm with her shinning sword.
I scream once again and stumbled around holding my arm.

"Please," I wailed. "Stop!"

Everything went quiet.

"Victoria. Victoria what?" Brittany said.

"Victoria Fuller. Why?"

I heard her back up.
"You died one whole year ago. You died! Your dead! Your-your-"

"Dead?" I said, standing up straighter.
"Yeah, I'm back, deal with it."

If I could see Brittany, I bet she'd be ghostly white.

Brittany shuffled around for a bit.
"You died, on a beach in LA last year. The news shook the demigod world. And now, your back! H-how?"

I sighed. "Nike said Hades had to do something for her so she choose to give me my life back."

Brittany coughed. "Your just like your mother. You always will win a battle. Like you have won this one."
A bronze blade fall at my feet.

"Um," I started. "What do you mean I always win?"

"You, maybe not, but your mother? Always. She must have rubbed off on you."

I only nodded as a light flashed around, lighting up the whole area. A girl with light skin and emerald eyes stood in front of me. Her cheeks had a light brush of blush and her eyes were dabbed with brown mascara.

"Brittany?" I asked.

She nodded. "Duh,"

I played with my hair for a while.

"Stop," Brittany said. "Being so weird. We're both demigods, daughter of Nike," She gestured toward me. "And daughter of Athena."

I picked up Brittany's sword. "Here,"

She shook her head. "I have more, so keep it."

Footsteps rang from the right. A pretty girl made her way towards us holding a guy's hand.

"Brittany!" She cried, flicking her soft brown waves out of her eye.

"What?" Brittany said, surprisingly calm.

"What the hell are you-" The girl's eyes flicked between me and Brittany.

"Just chill, Penny. I've found another demigod."

Penny's also green eyes brighten. "Which God?!" She squealed.

"Nike," I mumbled.

Penny let go of the guy's hand and walked over to me. "I'm Penny. Daughter of Apollo."

I smiled. "Cool,"

The guy stepped forward. "And I'm Aidan. Son of Zeus."

My eyes widen. "Zeus? Wow! That's so cool!"

He grinned.

Penny coughed and looked me in my own brown eyes. "Your mother is helping Hades in this war. Why?"

I shook my head. "I don't know, I'm so sorry."

"She didn't even know there was a war." Brittany cut in.

Penny slapped Aidan. "Aidan! Tell her!!"

Aidan moved closer. "Hades wanted to have control. But he knew he couldn't fight all the Olympus gods himself. So he asked all the non Olympus gods to help, If they did, they got a throne on Olympus."

"But your mother said no," Penny said. "She didn't want Hades to rule so she decided to use her victory powers on Zeus."

"But then her other daughter died," Aidan continued. "Hades said he would bring her back if she helped him win. So she said yes."

I gulped. I was reason for this war! If I hadn't of died, Hades wouldn't even bother started war if Nike was helping Zeus!

"What did you say your name was?" Penny asked.

"Victoria." I coughed out.

Penny and Aidan froze.

"Yep." I said. "I'm the daughter that died. But I'm back, yay!" I sounded week.

"Well," Aidan said. "You better meet the others.
