Trapped

Chapter 1
"You need to learn how to use the bow and arrow Annabelle" Artemis said.

"Mom I am too young to hunt" I said.

"Annabelle you need this kind of training for the Olympian War" Artemis explained.

I am sure you are wondering what is the Olympian War all about. The Olympian War was announced by Hera after the death of Zeus. Everybody is all fighting for the throne of Zeus. Hera said in 40 days the war will begin and my mom wants me to join.

"But I don't want to go" I said with a frown.

"Stop complaining!" Artemis shouted.

I sighed.

"Sorry mom" I appologized.

Kadance passed by with her hands full of bows and arrows.

"What is that for?" I asked.

"For our training" Kadance replied.

"I thought your training with Hades?" I asked.

"He thinks I am already powerful" Kadance replied.

"You are" I muttered.

"So let's begin our training" Artemis said.

"Okay mom" I said with a sigh.

"Let's start aiming at that tree trunk" Artemis said then pointed.

Mom demonstrated to us, she exactly hit the tree trunk. Kadance was the first to try it and Kadance also hit the tree trunk. My heart was racing I knew I can't hit the tree trunk like my mom and Kadance. I held the bow and arrow as my mom instructed. My heart was still racing as I was about to aim. When I let go of the arrow it hit exactly at the trunk like my mother. I was so relieved that I did not hit anything else.

"Nice shot Annabelle and Kadance" Artemis said proudly.

As my mother announced that we can have our break we ate some bread and milk. Then we went back to training with my mom.

"Our next training is called a million bows" Artemis announced.

"What does that do?" I asked.

"By one arrow you hit more than just one person" Artemis replied.

As mom showed us our battle field, it was full of dummies with targets in the center of their bodies. My mom gave us 5 arrows for each. Mom demonstrated what are we going to do. I listened carefully to my mother so I would not fail. We were supposed to hit 20 dummies. Kadance was first and she was able to hit 21 dummies. As I shot the arrow I closed my eyes and waited to see if I was a failure.

"I don't believe it" Artemis said.

"Is it bad?" I asked.

I was nervous on what she is going to say, is it good or bad?

Chapter 2
"Not at all" Artemis replied.

"Really?" I asked.

I opened my eyes. In suprise the whole battle field was destroyed. All the dummies was burned, the grasses died and all the trees did not have anymore leaves.

"Annabelle that was great!" Artemis shouted proudly.

"Thanks mom, I really did not expect that to happen" I said.

Even Kadance was suprised. She was so suprised she was to speechless.

"Training is over" Artemis announced.

"Where is our next training?" I asked.

"We are going to train in the underworld with Kadance" Artemis replied.

"Oh okay" I said.

I noticed Kadance was still not snapping out of it, so I punched her shoulder. She snapped out of it.

"The thing you did a while ago was amazing" Kadance said.

"Thanks" I said.

"Come on let's go to the underworld, I want to show you something" Kadance said.

We went to the underworld and saw Hades eating some souls like a pig.

"Dad can you at least stop eating like a pig?" Kadance asked.

"Oh sorry, I did not know you would bring visitors here" Hades appologized.

"It's okay dad continue eating, now come on Annabelle let's go to my room" Kadance said.

When we went inside her room, we saw Poseidon sitting on top of Kadance's bed.

"What are you doing here?" Kadance asked.

He did not reply he only looked at me and clapped his hands.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"Congrats I saw both of your performances a while ago" Poseidon said with an evil grin.

"You did not answer my question" Kadance said.

"I am here yo congratulate your performance" Poseidon replied.

"Oh okay thanks" Kadance said suspiciously.

Chapter 3
"Both of you are actually to powerful" Poseidon said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Both of you are to powerful to enter the war you will only defeat us" Poseidon replied.

"That is the point in a war" Kadance said.

"But I want that throne!" Poseidon shouted.

All of a sudden the soldiers of Poseidon appeared and held me and Kadance.

"What are you doing?!" Kadance shouted.

"You are now trapped under my control" Poseidon said with a evil laugh.

His evil laugh made me shiver.

"Bring them to the dungeon" Poseidon instructed.

The soldiers followed and they dragged me and Kadance to a secret dungeon under the sea. They tied us tightly to chains. After they made sure that we won't escape they slammed the dungeon door. The dungeon was cold and black with slime all over the walls. While I was struggling to find Kadance through the dark dungeon I saw something written on the floor. It wrote your trapped no escape, you will rot in here until they find away to kill you!''. '' The message made me shiver.

"Kadance are you there?" I asked.

"Annabelle i'm right here" Kadance replied.

"What are we going to do now?" I asked.

"Just wait a sec. I have an idea" Kadance said.

Kadance removed the chain tied to her hand and she let out fire through her hand.

"Here some light we need to see something through this darkness" Kadance said.

"That's your plan?" I said impatiently.

"Yes" Kadance replied.

"I thought we are going to escape" I said.

"Oh that I don't have a plan" Kadance said.

"Can you just remove the chains tied to me" I said with a sigh.

"Sure" Kadance said.

Chapter 4
She removed the chains tied to me and her.

"Wow your good" I said.

"Thanks" Kadance said happily.

We slept late, but I did not know what time was it. The next day the soldiers gave us food. For the rest of the day we were planning how to get out and continue our training because there are only 35 days left. In the middle of our plan we heared people talking and they were Artemis and Hades.

"Mom and Hades is here" I whispered to Kadance.

Kadance listened, she was able to hear her father's voice so she agreed.

"You are right" Kadance whispered back.

We were desperate to escape so we pounded at the door and shouted our parent's name. I thought they heared us but they did'nt. We continued our plan to escape when we finally finished it we tested it out. We were able to unlock the dungeon door. We went through the hall, we noticed there was alot of shelves with torture items. The items made me shiver, it also reminded me the note I saw on the floor yesterday they will find different ways to kill you!   I tried to shake of the feeling while I followed Kadance through the hall. We found a door, we opened it and we saw a bright flash of white through our faces.

"We are saved!" I thought happily.

As we went outside we realized something, we were not underwater.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"I think we are in the mortal world" Kadance replied.

I did not reply I was to happy to say anything. I remembered Patricia and Abbigail. I did not wait for Kadance I just ran to my old school.

"Wait up!" Kadance shouted.

When we reached my school, we saw a sign it wrote '''CLOSED DOWN SCHOOL, DO NOT ENTER. '''

"Why did the school closed down?" I asked myself.

I read the description it wrote After class 2011 0f grade 5 had their exposure trip one section did not return. All children died, now Maria Clara school is closed. Tears streamed down my cheeks when I finished reading the description.

"What year is it?" I asked.

"Let me ask" Kadance replied.

A woman in her 30's passed by.

"What year is it?" Kadance asked

"2030" she replied.

I looked at her for a while and she kinda looks like Patricia.

"What is your name?" I asked.

"Patricia" she replied.

"What's your last name" I asked.

"Wilson" Patricia replied.

"It can't be" I said.

"What do you mean?" Patricia asked.

Chapter 5
I did not reply I just hugged her.

"Patricia it is me Amy!" I shouted.

"Amy is a god she can't be here" Patricia said sadly.

"Patricia it is me Amy Swift, you got to believe me" I begged with tears comming out of my eyes.

"Amy, why didn't you get older?" Patricia asked.

"I am god, we don't get older" I replied.

"So that's Kean?" Patricia asked.

"Yes" I said.

"Amy I missed you, me and Abbigail!" Patricia said happily.

"Patricia where is Abbigail?" I asked.

"She moved to Paris" Patricia replied sadly.

I was so happy that I was able to go back to the mortal world and see one of my best friends.

"Why did you return?" Patricia asked.

I told her the story. She wanted us to rest for a while before we can return so she brought us to her house. She had 2 kids and her husband was at work.

"Thanks for all your help Patricia" I said.

"No problem, I will do anything for my friends" Patricia said with a cold smile.

That cold smile reminded me of Poseidon's evil grin. It creeped me out.

"Now I am going to show you my bedroom" Patricia said.

"Oh okay" I said.

When we went to her bedroom she slammed the bedroom door shut behind us.

"What are you doing Patricia?" I demanded.

"I'm not Patricia" she said with an evil laugh.

"T-then who are you?" I asked shakingly.

She did not reply she only laughed.

"I got you trapped, you think you can run away from me?" Patricia asked.

All of a sudden the bedroom walls turned into slimy walls, the floor felt cold. I turned around and I saw we were back into the dungeon, I turned around again to look at Patricia but Patricia was not there but Poseidon was. I screamed when I saw him, I knew he will do something bad to me and Kadance. I closed my eyes and waited for what Poseidon is going to do to us.

Chapter 6
I waited but nothing happened. I opened my eyes and he just stared at us.

"Stay there and don't escape" Poseidon shouted.

"We will" I said sarcasticly, I rolled my eyes.

He left and slammed the door behind him.

"Kadance what will happen to us?" I asked.

"It is up to Poseidon now" Kadance replied.

It came the next day there was only 34 days left. I wondered if mom and Hades was looking for us. I also wondered what happened to Patricia and how did Poseidon knew about her. Those questions ran through my mind like mice. I was scared for what will Poseidon will do to us. A few minutes later the dungeon door flew open.

"You have a visitor" a soldier said.

"Who?" I asked.

He did not reply he left with the door wide open. The visitor came in the dungeon, I did not know who he was. He was tall he had blonde hair and blue eyes, at the time he was wearing trunks.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am Nathan the son of Apollo" he replied.

"Your my cousin?" I asked.

"Yes" Nathan replied.

"Why did you go here?" I asked.

"I am here to help you escape, Artemis sent me" Nathan whispered.

I was so happy. My mom knows that we are trapped in here.

"Yessss!" I thought.

"So what is the plan?" Kadance asked.

He whispered to us slowly. In the end of his plan he gave us 2 gold coins.

"Hey it is the-" it trailed of.

"Keep down your voice" Nathan whispered.

"Oh okay sorry" I said.

He nodded his head and left. The soldier locked the door as Nathan left.

"When we will use it?" I asked.

"Tonight" Kadance replied.

Chapter 7
I waited until night time we waited until the soldiers were asleep. When it was time we used the 2 gold coins, I wished I can go back to the forest where my mom is and Kadance wished she can go back to the underworld where her dad is. I closed my eyes and waited what will happen, when I opened my eyes we were next to the throne of Zeus.

"I did not wish to go here" I said.

"Me too" Kadance said.

"Strange..." I said.

The throne of Zeus was empty, when Zeus was alive even when he is sleeping he sits there. I missed my grandfather and I wanted to go home.

"Okay bye Kadance" I said.

"Bye see you tomorrow" Kadance said, she left.

I walked on the sidewalk slowly. Until I heard something.

"What was that?" I asked myself.

I continued walking and this time I heard footsteps. I turned around but no one was there.

"Strange" I thought.

I walked faster this time I heared the footsteps coming closer and closer. I ran fast I did not want that thing to catch me. I heard the footsteps again but it stopped.

"I guess I lost it" I thought happily.

But it was not over. I heared no footsteps but I felt someone breathing down my neck. I screamed and ran as fast as I can not turning back. I ran and ran but it was too late. It caught me it grabbed my hand. I turned around and I only saw Greyson the son of Ares.

"You scared me!" I said angrily.

"Sorry I just came from training and I wanted to hang out with someone before I go home" Greyson explained.

"Oh okay" I said.

We walked through the breezy cold night. I made my turn to go to the forest, I went around looking for my mom but I can't find her.

"Mom?" I asked.

"Is that you Annabelle?" Artemis asked.

"Mom!" I shouted.

I was so happy to see my mother again.

"Annabelle I am so happy your safe" Artemis said.

She hugged me really tight. My mom asked me questions about how I was in dungeon for a while. After all the questions I went to sleep.

Chapter 8
I woke up in the morning and I looked outside the window I saw my mom with Kadance training. I fixed myself and went outside immediately.

"Hi mom, Hi Kadance" I greeted.

"Come on let's train, you know there are only 33 days left" Artemis said.

We continued our training and worked hard in the end of the day we rested and drank some juice for a successful training session.

20 days passed by and there was only 13 days left. More tense came to me and Kadance. We may learned alot from my mother and Hades but we were worried that one of us might get killed. Soon we decided we need to learn from others we learned from Ares and Greyson for 10 days. We learned from Apollo and Nathan for 5 days. There was only 5 days left of our training, we worked our hardest so we can master more the bow and arrow, killing people by one touch and how to use the sword properly. The big day has arrived it was the Olympian war. Me, Kadance, Hades, mom, Greyson, Ares, Nathan and Apollo that was our team.

"Are you ready kids?" Ares asked.

"Yes" I said shakingly.

"If we die, we die for victory" Artemis said.

My heart raced, I was nervous. As Hera began the war all of us charged. The first one I had fight with was Olivia the daughter of Athena. I was able to practice well my sword skill that Ares thought me I sliced her at the stomach and she fell immediately. Athena almost hit me at the back but Kadance blocked it right away with her shield.

"Thanks!" I said while fighting the other gods.

"No problem, now continue fighting!" Kadance shouted as she battled Athena.

No one in our team died yet we were glad but our happiness ended as Nathan fell on the floor. Apollo fought harder. The war took forever, my hand hurt because it was slightly cut and my legs are oozing blood.

"We can do this!" I shouted while I continued fighting.

The war continued until there was only Me, Kadance, Artemmis, Hades, Ares and Greyson. There was 20 gods to defeat left. We fought our best I was getting weaker by the minute, I felt that I just want to faint but I can't I need to do this for my family. Hours came by and there was 10 gods left and Greyson and Ares died already. More hours went by my body hurt top to toe but I pushed myself until the very end.

"10 left!" I shouted with joy.

Until Kadance sliced the head of Demeter.

"No, 9 left!" Kadance corrected.

There was 9 left so we fought harder, in the end all of them died except Poseidon and Hera. We found out that they did not join the war so they can get more of their energy to defeat us.

"That is not fair!" I shouted.

"Life is not fair" Hera said.

My heart raced more because they were at full power they were not injured and they were harder to defeat. We started the war all over again my heart skipped a beat as Hera and Poseidon came toward us to fight. As they passed by me I thought I was safe, but I was not they turned around and they slightly sliced my hipps.

"OUCH!" I shouted in pain.

Chapter 9
"Annabelle are you okay?" Kadance shouted with a worried face.

"I'm okay!" I lied.

My hipps hurt badly, my body ached all over. I walked slowly then I thought of a plan.

"Hey Hera and Poseidon!" I shouted with a smile.

"What?! Can't you see that we are defeating you?" Hera and Poseidon both shouted at the same time.

"Yes but if you both win who will take the throne?" I asked with an evil grin.

"ME!" Hera and Poseidon shouted.

"No me!" Poseidon said.

"Not you, me" Hera argued.

"Yesss! They are fighting" I thought happily.

I signaled my mother, Kadance and Hades to kill them while they are still fighting. Kadance was the first one to go she ran and slightly sliced Hera's hipps. Hera did not mind because she was to busy with their argument. Hades went next he slightly sliced Poseidon's stomach. Poseidon did not mind also. It was me and my mother's turn she aimed the arrow at Poseidon while I aimed it at Hera, we were aiming at the heart using our bow and arrow. I remembered the tree trunk that I hit, now it is time to use that lesson to win this war. We both let go of the arrow the 2 arrows exactly hit Hera's and Poseidon's heart. We waited as they slowly fell on the floor. They died. We checked to make sure but they did not move, they were cold and lifeless.

"WE WON!" I shouted with joy.

"But who is going to take the throne?" Kadance asked.

"Who is going to take the throne?" I asked.

They did not reply they just looked at me then bowed.

"Don't bow to me" I said.

"We want you to take the throne" Artemis said.

I was so surprised to speak.

"Just take it" Hades said.

"Fine I will" I said with a smile.

I walked up to the throne of Zeus. I was so happy that I did not feel my aching body. I sat on the throne and looked at Hades, Kadance and mom proudly.

"Hail Annabelle, the queen of the gods!" They all shouted and bowed.

"Who am I going to rule if we are only 4?" I asked.

all of us was silent. Then I thought of an idea.

"How about let's get out of here and go to the human world" I said.

They all agreed. We went to the human world and we searched for the REAL Patricia and Abbigail. We finally found them and Patricia did not have any kids only a husband. While Abbigail is a single mother and she has 2 kids. We decided to sleep at their house until we earn enough money to buy our own house. We told the whole story about the Olympian war and that we are the remaining gods alive. We celebrated that Me, Patricia and Abbigail was back together again.
