The Prophecy of Heroes; Just Us Mortals

Veronica

It was a disaster. As soon as we got in there, Tori of all people attacked us!

I charged all I had at her with my sword, Death Wave. But she dodged me quick and I landed on the ground.
"Erika!" I heard Nico scream. I turned around, and Erika was battling with Gaea, mom's bow aiming at her chest. But before Erika could do anything else, Gaea summoned a huge boulder, and slammed it on top of her.
"Kio, dig her out!" I said. She whipped her tail under and pushed it out of the way. Sure enough, my sister was laying on the ground with a bruised back. With my own injury, I crawled over to her, and set her head on my lap.
"E?" I asked. No answer, just heavy breathing. She was beaten pretty bad, her skin was pale, bruises were all over, and there were some cuts dripping blood. I cried so hard, the next thirty seconds were a blur. All I know is soon, the six of us were in cages, and Starling and Kio were chained.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Gaea locked us up" Teresa said, she was sitting down with her arms wrapped around her legs.
"How's Erika?" I asked.
"Don't.Even" Nico said.
"Hey! I can ask about my sister if I want to, so why don't you shut the..."
"Veronica!" Wisty stopped me.
"Ugh!" I screamed. I examined the bars, there had to be some way out of this place. I started banging the bars, hoping to break out.
"Veronica, stop" John said. But I ignored him. I kept trying.
"Veronica, STOP!" He snapped,"it's not gonna get us anywhere!"
"I can't," I panted,"I can't let her die like this!"
"She's not dead!" Said a voice.
"Tori!" Teresa said. I turned around, and Tori was standing by the lock of the cage with a key.
"What are you doing here, traitor?" I asked.
"Breaking out your caged up little butts," she said,"and...fixing a mistake"
I smiled. But my joy was destroyed when I looked back at Erika.
"Hey," Teresa said as she put her hand on my shoulder,"she'll be fine"
"Will she?" I asked. Erika had been so worried that my death was her fault, and here I was, blaming myself for nearly loosing her.
Tori picked her up from her brother's hands.
"Heartbeat's steady, no weird death feeling in my ear. Shaky breathing, but she'll be okay" she said.
I sighed in relief.
"Can I see her?" I asked.
"Sure" she said as she put my sister in my arms.
"Thanks, I'll carry her back to camp" I said.
"That won't be necessary" said a new voice. Then, from the entrance, Sadie and Carter trudged in.
"Sadie!" I said as I ran to my friend, while still attempting to keep hold of Erika.
"Hi Veronica!" She said.
"How did you get here?" I asked.
"Tori called," she said,"ooh, what happened?" She asked gesturing to her.
"Um, she had a little accident" I said.
"Pfft, yeah, getting trampled on by a big rock is a little accident" Tori said as she made her way toward us. I gently put Erika on the floor, and pinned Tori against the wall.
"YOU!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS??? YOU TRAITOR!!!!!" I shouted.
"Calm down," she replied shakily. I let her go,"I'm sorry... I...I didn't mean to go this far.. I had a dream last night, Gaea told me to meet her here"
"That's why you were so shaken up this morning?" Nico asked.
"Yeah, guys, I'm really sorry" she said.
"Can you heal Erika?" I asked.
"Yes!" Tori replied.
"Apology accepted" I said.
