Light me up (A Leo Valdez story)

I am Apollo's Daughter

I took Percy's advice and at that moment I stood up on top of the table. "Shut up!" I yelled and everyone's eyes were on me. "I'm tired of all of you accusing me of not being Apollo's daughter! I am his child and I know because he has blessed me with a gift. I may not be able to curse people with rhymes, but my father has given me the power of complete photokinesis."

There were some gasps in the crowd of demigods. I looked across them all and I made eye contact with Leo. He made me nervous. I didn't want to mess up in front of him but this was something I had to do. "I know this gift has not been given to a demigod in years but I have it." I said looking down at my hands.

"Then prove it." One of the Aphrodite girls said. Piper hit her in the back of the head, but I knew in order to get them to believe me I would have to prove it.

I started to use my hands creating a tiny ball of light. At that moment Percy put out the light around us so it was completely dark except my little light. I made her grow bigger and bigger until my light was about the size of a basketball. "This is my light. She is alive, her name is Luma." I said people were staring at me jaw dropped. "Wanna see something really cool?" I asked looking around.

People nodded in awe of Luma. "Alright girl, you ready?" I asked. She bobbed in the air in front of me and made some sighing noises which I knew meant yes. "Alight Luma... Go!" I moved my hands and Luma burst into a bunch of tiny lights that looked like stars. She spread out across the whole area making a beautiful light.

Everyone clapped and the Apollo cabin cheered. They loved Luma and her light.

That's when Rachel Elizabeth Dare stood up and by the creepy look on everyone's face I knew a prophecy was coming.

Seven will go once again

This time with companions

Water will drown

Lighting no longer strike

Beauty will hurt

And death will die

Fire will no longer burn

And wisdom no longer learn

But light will shine beneath the sun

Her colors quick as the rest run

for nine will go but eight will return

As light will die and her colors will burn

Rachel passed out afterwards and Luma quickly disappeared. The darkness covered everything and no one could see and I jumped of the table and did the only thing I could think of... Run
