Silenced (Demigod Story)

Making an Entrance

I just laid there on the bumpy wooden floor.  It was slightly cold, but I didn’t notice.  I felt like crap, like no one would ever love me.

“Floret?”

I looked up to see Artemis.  She was in a young teen form so she looked around my age.  “You were right, boys are evil.  I shown him how forgiving I could be and when he learns that I am capable of destroying to world, he runs away.  I didn’t even do anything wrong,” I explained, my eyes were dry because all of the tears have left my eyes.

“I know, but he isn’t completely evil.  He actually was just really scared of Gaea and was not thinking correctly.  He actually left camp right when the events settled in to find you.”

I rubbed my dry eyes.  “Are you saying that I should forgive him?”

“No, I am saying that he is sorry.  I don’t have to tell you that you should forgive him because I know that you would do it anyway.”

I nodded my head.  She was right about that.  “Why was he so scared of my mom?  I know that she is evil, but I never figured out what she had done.  She said something about me joining her side in war, but something told me that her side in war was against the Gods.  So far, most of the time the gods helped me.  Just that one time that Apollo took away my voice.”

“Would you like to join my huntresses?” Artemis offered.

I shook my head, knowing that I was weak at the time and I was not thinking as straight as I should be thinking if I have to make a decision that would change my life forever.  “I am sorry, but I feel like camp is better for me.”

“What?  But the camp might know who your mother is and then despise you for it!” Artemis reminded me.  I knew that it was a possibility, but I felt like they just might understand.

“I know, but I think that it is a chance that is worth the risk,” I answered.

“Then, why are you in here?  Why don’t you just go to camp?” Artemis asked.

“Well,” I sighed.  “I am not sure that I am strong enough to face people at the moment.  I feel like I just might burst into tears at any moment from the smallest things.”

Artemis nodded.  She was an immortal goddess, she probably seen something similar to this before.  “Well, my huntresses will be awakened soon, I better go.”  Artemis left in an instant.

“Gee, why is everyone leaving me?” I whispered.  I turned onto my back to face the roof.  I couldn’t see anything because it was so dark.  The only source of light was from a hole above the door.  It started getting brighter as the sun rose higher.  I wasn’t sure when I should leave to go to camp.  Should I leave now and just appear so I have the whole day to be confused?  Or should I just leave at noon so everyone is kinda doing their own thing so I will be able to go around unnoticed?

I laughed.  “Look at me, wanting to make an entrance.”
