2,000 Years Ago: Chapter 5

Pandora's POV

One minutes I was riding Wave through the forest and the next I was laying on the ground on a soft patch of grass. "What happened?"

Atreo looked up from cooking a meal. "some badits came and shot Wave in the leg and you fell unconsious."

"Is Wave okay?"

"She fell unconious too. But she's awake now." Just then I felt a nuzzling on the back of my head. I turned around and came face to face with Wave's big black eyes. I noticed her hind leg had a little blood on it but wasn't bleeding anymore. I hugged her around her neck. "We better get back to shore soon. There might be more bandits here."

"You're right." I got up and put the blanket in the bag. Then Atreo handed me a bowl of soup. I sipped it up and helped Atreo get the bowls and other things back in the bag. I got on Wave and Atreo followed me by foot. We got out of the forest as fast as possible. As soon as we got to the beach, I jumped off Wave right into the ocean. I kicked the water around and got soaking wet. I was so happy to see the ocean again. I sat down in the surf and just let the waves come over me. Atreo stayed on shore. "We better get going, Pan."

"You're right." I stood up and got the water off me. Since I was the daughter of Posiedon, I could make myself dry. I ot out of the water and got back on Wave. We started again and a few hours later we made camp. I got out some meat and made some beef stew. I handed a bowl to Atreo and ate mine. I finished it and layed down to sleep.

''Pandora. ''I heard something speak in my mind. I was at a pit. There were precious gems and stones all around me. ''Pandora. Help me out of this pit. The gods don't care about you. They don't care about anyone but themselves. Help me out of this pit, and I will make the world a better place. Help me, Pandora.'' It was a man's voice. I had a vaugue idea of where I was. I was right by the pits of Taturas, in the Underworld. This voice... I also had a couple ideas of who it was. It could be Kronos, the evil Titan. That would be the worst possible thing. I prayed to Zues it wasn't him.

"I'm not helping you. I refuse to."

Help me out of this pit, or I will kill you just like I will the gods.

"NO!" I pinched myself so I would wake up. It worked. I woke up sweating. I stayed awake for the rest of the night, scared of going back there.
