The Mortal Godling (A Demigod/Percy Jackson Fanfic)

A Choice To Be Made

That night I stayed awake all night in the Hermes cabin just thinking about Jake, kissing him felt so morally wrong. I barely knew him and we had just met each other, but being with him felt so good, when I kissed him my body began tingling all over and my head got all dizzy, for a few seconds I was in a pure state of ecstasy.

After a bit my eyelids began to feel really heavy and I drifted asleep, and without a surprise I had another weird dream. I was with the grey cloaked lady again, she was walking through the woods and still had the old whisker basket with her.

The woods were so ominous, there was a lot of fog that didn't let me to see to far into the woods and I heard the sound of owls and wolves off in the distance. These woods looked as though they were perfect for a horror film.

After a few more minutes we walked into a clearing in the woods, the small clearing was filled with tombstones. The cloaked lady stopped at the entrance, "Show yourself worshiper of the gods, I have been waiting for this moment".

Then out of the other end if the clearings a figure appeared out of the fog, the figure took a few paces forward. It was far enough for me to make out the figure but not properly see their face or make out any details.

"I came as you asked, I understand that you have a favor to ask of me?", the lady's voice was so familiar to me.

"I ask of you a favor that I can ask to no other mortal but you, I understand that you were born with the gift to see through the mist, and you understand of the Olympian's existence" the lady with the basket began to walk forward.

I tried to follow alongside her but I was immobile and stuck in place. I couldn't move at all, my arms and legs just wouldn't respond to my brain at all.

Once the lady with the basket reached about halfway she stopped again, "I wish for you to take care of a godling, more of a mistake than anything"

"What do you mean a mistake?" The other said curiously

"In this basket I hold a godling, she is still a baby and her immortality will be taken away soon", she unveiled the blankets covering the baby and showed her face, unfortunate I still couldn't move and I was still behind the lady in the cloak,

"Once she is fed a golden apple she will lose her immortality and she will become a regular demigod, I ask you Victoria Cambell to take care of the child"

Victoria? That was my aunts name, I don't know if Cambell was her maiden name or not but could it be possible that this was my aunt that was talking to this god.

"I will accept your request, I will do anything to please the gods, especially you Athena" Victoria said as she bowed down.

Then all of a sudden loud howls began to pierce the forest air, the howls were so close by. Then slowly my dream began to fade, and next thing I knew I woke up in the Hermes cabin.

During breakfast I wasn't too sure what to make out of that dream, I felt like I should have spoken to someone but I just didn't know who. I mean was it possible that my little cousin Abby was the little baby in my dream? Could she be tied into this whole godly world and not even know it?

That afternoon after I had lunch and had all my practice sessions with the Hermes cabin I went to the Big House to try and find Chiron. When I got inside Chiron was sat in his wheelchair drinking some tea beside the fire place.

"Um hey Chiron sorry to bother you but can I talk to you?" I asked with my head sticking out the doorway.

"Of course Sophia, come take a seat with me," he put down his tea and beckoned me to sit down, "what is it that you wish to discuss with me?"
