That’s her. The woman that waved to me before school that day. She walked out of the shadows with a man that had black wings. The two of them stood in front of Chiron.

“Hello campers,” the woman said, “Some of you may know me, some may not. Thanatos and I have traveled down from Olympus to share with you,” she paused for a moment, “a new prophecy.” There was a collective gasp from around the pavilion as kids started whispering. I looked over to Evelyn and she looked like she had just seen a ghost. I realized that this was probably the first time she had ever seen her dad. Cathrine elbowed me in the arm.

“Willow!” She said “Do you know who that is?” I thought about it for a second, why she looked so familiar.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pCA2zAD7E
“I feel like I know her,” I replied, “but I just can’t put my finger on it.”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJVHQi44ti
She looked me dead in the eyes and said, “That’s Demeter. MOM.” Oh. OH. My mother was standing fifty feet from me and I didn’t even know it was her. The same mother that left my dad to raise me himself. The same mother that gave me these powers. The same mother that put me in this wonderful camp. Realization hit me like a train. It made my heart ache for something I know I could never have. Demeter raised her hand for silence and nodded at Thanatos. I have never heard someone speak like that. It made me calm but energetic, happy but angry. His voice was so rich and melodious it made me want to cry.

Everything and everyone went still. The first person to speak was Chiron.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapjPM02nlc
“Now I understand that this is overwhelming,” he said, “but Demeter and Thanatos have answers to many of your questions.” That’s when people started yelling.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6skxh5oJ8
“Wings of gold!?”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchdF9NOyfy
“Who’s going to go!?”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8HQs7Ld9w
“What does this mean for Olympus!?”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlc6aUnW5i
The ground shook and Nico appeared in the middle of the room.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjaSVbFnoi
“Sorry,” he said, “I had to escape from Persephone. The spirits in the underworld are going mad, Chiron, unlike what I’ve ever seen before.”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMElRczGUvL
Chiron looked startled and motioned for Nico to come to the side with him. The shouting continued through the crowd.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NWKcTF4yE
“Quiet down everyone,” Thanatos called, “as Chiron said, we have answers. I am more than happy to announce that my own daughter will be one of the three continuing in this quest.” I looked over to Evelyn once more, and she looked worse than ever. Her face slowly transitioned from pale white to bright pink as she processed what he had said. I wanted to walk over to her but Demeter addressed more pressing matters.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UK3bXZUZN
“The second demigod, accompanying Ms. Chiva will be my newly claimed daughter. Willow Rose.” As she said this Demeter was beaming with pride. Before I knew what was happening there was another flower crown resting on my head. I wanted to object. To tell her that I shouldn’t go, But before I could she had moved on.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXLBcny8z5
“Sadly we do not know who the third demigod is, but we are sure that they will appear in due time!” Questions continued but at a slower rate. Demeter and Thanatos reassured everyone that this didn’t mean much and that everything was going to be ok. Soon enough they had disappeared back into the shadows and Chiron quickly dismissed us. On our way back to the cabins I pulled Evelyn over to the side.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFnBqBTj0W
“Hey,” I said “so… that was a lot.”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUwdFJa0W9
“Yeah, tell me about it” She said sarcastically.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHKQLJo5q5
“I heard that we’re leaving in two days. Not a ton of time to prepare.”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mP8Xd9Dkb
“Seriously? I-”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgmFnj4J5a
“I know right! We just got here like five days ago!”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y1seSe4nA
“So…um. I may have sneaked away while Demeter was talking cause I saw Chiron pull Nico aside. And well Nico said that this person named Rachel is missing and that the spirits of the underworld are going crazy.” She shrugged.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hBP520uat
“Spirits… I wouldn’t know, that’s not really my kind of thing.”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs9qEgKyPn
“Yeah well it's apparently my type of thing and I don't even know about it.” she said, rolling her eyes, "Maybe we should go asleep. I need to process this"
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIVs25V1FK
“You're right, we should get to bed, big day of training tomorrow. Night.”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLzW0ju9id
“Night”

We went our separate ways and I walked into my cabin. The girls were getting ready for bed. I had just realized that there was a wooden chest at the foot of each bed, engraved with someone’s name. The chest next to my bed was open. I walked over to it and looked inside. There was an envelope sitting there with my name written in cursive. I picked up the letter and opened it. It read,
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAliTNvZLg
Dear Willow,
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZMBBD8O7X
You’ve just been here for a few days and I can already tell what an amazing person you are going to be. I would like to give you something to remember me by.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2MHMscuQC
Remember me?
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc90eW4Jec4
I would like to give you my knowledge, so whenever you feel trapped you can find a way out.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2awWQILLe
I would like to give you my power, so that whenever you feel helpless I will be there to guide you.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflTtTg7ucp
And I would like to give you my Love, so if you ever feel heartbroken, my heart will be there for you to take.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNam5MlYiu
Why was she saying this?
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnLzWAOmIE
I might not make it out of this,
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGiCBSOczx
What?
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC7RDApKrf
But I know that you have the power within you to save the others.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavXDHauHqs
P.s.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtgGPV3JgV
I know about the stucco accident
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbOBRWqj9J
Love,

Cathrine

I was breathing heavily. I dropped to my knees and Lily, one of my sisters, came to my side.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMJRnJfKSA
“Everything okay?” She asked.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RsCqDc2Ff
I didn’t respond. I simply ran out of the cabin and sprinted to the big house.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FGsCiADxw
I didn’t care how startled Chiron and Nico were when I flung the door open.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAELilSJAb
“What’s happened?” Chiron insisted
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBod89a8z5G
I was surprised that I didn’t burst into tears when I handed him the letter.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPtbaQT9kd
Once he was done reading he handed the letter to Nico. They gave each other a concerned look.
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjFD3uSsQv
“Willow,” Nico said, “I want you to go back to your cabin. If anyone asked you why you left, tell them that you felt sick. Get some sleep. We will discuss this more tomorrow.”
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYueuubP879
I nodded my head and walked back to my cabin. A few of the girls came up to me and I told them exactly what Nico told me to. I tossed and turned all night before I decided to climb up the large tree growing out of the middle of the room. It created a perfect place to look at the stars. While I traced the constellations I had memorized, I thought about Cat. Was she looking at the same sky? Was she even still alive?
