Jude's POV
After the arrow has hit its target which is Iza's heart i seem to die along with her. I fell to my knees and soon fell down on the ground.
I don't know how long it has been but all i remembered is the smell of blood in the air then i passed out...
I found myself in a rather small room i looked around, at first i saw nothing but i soon i noticed a girl crying at a corner, shivering. I went to her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you all right?"
The girl has her back turned on me so i can't see her face but she has long curly blonde hair, she seems like she haven't heard me so i repeated my question this time a lot louder, but still she can't hear me. I'm starting to get annoyed for i think that the girl is ignoring me so i reached out to touch her shoulder to get her attention but was surprised WHEN MY HAND PASSED THROUGH HER!!!
I stared at my hand with disbelief but i saw the girl shiver more and looked right at me. My eyes widen for i realize that this girl is Iza! She stared right at me and for a moment i saw fear and desperation in her amber eyes. I was about to assure her everything's fine and that i'll save her but something seems to be tugging me back.
I tried to reach out for her but my hand passed through again the last thing i saw before i fade is Iza reaching out her hand for help as a dark figure stand behind her ready to...
I woke up from a very strange nightmare and was glad that the first face i saw was Iza's. I smiled but then squinted for Iza's hair seem shorter and she seem to glow, then i realize that this is not Iza but her mother Artemis. I quickly sat up with alarm and it send blinding pain throughout my body but i didn't care, i racked my mind to remember what happened...
I remembered: that Hera kidnapped Khinei so we went and rescue her with the help of two gods. Then, Iza turned into a traitor before my eyes, but the worst part? Artemis killed her.
"No, no, no. This can't be true." i started mumbling trying to reassure myself but it's no use, reality hits me square in the face.
"i'm so sorry," I heard Artemis said. Then all my sadness turned into fury and i stood up to face her yelling trying hit her with all this words i'm about to say, "You! How despicable! You killed your own DAUGHTER! And you dare call yourself a goddess?"
Artemis seems taken aback by my words but she smartly held my gaze though i could see some emotions flickering underneath her calm bravado. "She... asked for it."
I know that's true for i saw the way Iza looked pleadingly at Artemis but i said, "You should've still tried to save her! What kind mother you are when you couldn't even save your own daughter???" Artemis this time flinched visibly along with Hermes. I noticed that we are still at the room though this time it's filled with rock pieces. Me, Artemis, Hermes and Apollo are the only ones consciouss the others are still laying down the floor though i could see Apollo trying all he can to heal them.
"I know i've been a terrible mother but i tried to save her." she mumbles unsure of herself.
"By Killing her?" i said my voice taken with a new intensity.
She frowned as if she is trying to remember something, then as if on a cue my dream about Iza shivering in a corner, hit me. Then i tiny flicker of hope appeared inside of me,: What if that dream is true and Iza is still alive but in the danger?
As i've said before pretty desperate but you must understand me, Iza's my world if she's gone i might as well be gone too. But now that there is hope she might be still alive i know it is my job to find her.
I started walking away through the hole made by Artemis when Hermes said, "Where are you going,son."
I didn't looked back but i answered him, "None of your bussiness and like i said before i was never your son in the first place."
With that i walked away with no destination in mind but with one goal burning bright in my head sending the message to every cell and nerve. The message: Find Iza for she is still alive, i believe in it, i'm sure of it...
