A Demigod Girl: Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Helped (Daughter of Poseidon118)
Leila opened her eyes expecting to see the sky, but she didn’t. All she saw was wood. She couldn’t remember going to sleep at all either. All she could figure out was that she must’ve been lying on the ground. Leila sat up and her head was throbbing. She must’ve gotten knocked out while fighting the Cyclopes, whether it was from using too much power or the fact she got hit in the head, she didn’t know. Though her head was still throbbing, she managed to get herself to take a look at her current surroundings. She seemed to be in some sort of elongated log cabin, but how did she get here? And where were the others? An even better question was where was she even at?

Just then a Native American girl entered and came towards her. “You are awake now. Good,” the girl said.

“Yeah, I am. And you can speak English, which is good because I don’t know any other languages. Well, I know Greek, but that’s not the point. Who are you? Why am I here? Where are the others? What happened? And where am I anyways?” Leila asked firing out the questions as they surfaced in her mind. She was usually pretty calm when things like this happened, but this situation was different. They were in a completely different time period, so they didn’t know who they could or could not trust.

The girl stared at her for a few moments and then began answering, “My name is Roselia Jakobs, though I am called Rose. You are in my tribe’s longhouse because I found you and your friends fighting the Cyclopes while I was going past that area. All of you fell down and I finished off the last Cyclops. So, I got help from my brother and sister and brought you all here. Your friends are all down at the other end resting and healing.”

“Wait a second, how did you know those were Cyclopes?” Leila asked.

“I am a demigod like you and your friends,” Rose replied. Another girl walked up to Rose and began speaking in the native language and then walked away again. Rose looked back at Leila and said, “My sister tells me that most of your friends are awake now. Come.” Rose began walking to the other end of the longhouse. Leila got up off the ground and followed. Her head wasn’t throbbing anymore, which was good.

As Leila approached the other end she was able to see that the others were okay. “Good. We all survived,” she said to them.

“Well, almost all of us. Eric is still knocked out. He must’ve gotten hit on the head pretty hard,” Laika told her.

“Hopefully he wakes up soon then. Right now, we need to figure out how we are going to stop Amanda before she eliminates Lilith’s ancestors in this time period,” Leila told them. Lilith looked down at the ground. “Don’t worry Lilith. We will stop her. We aren’t going to let you or your ancestors disappear forever,” Leila told her. Lilith looked up and nodded understandingly. “Ok then, let’s make a plan,” Leila said. They worked out a plan and by the time they were done, Eric had awakened.

“Ugh, what happened?” he asked.

“You were hit on the head really hard,” Josh told him.

“And while you were knocked out, we came up with a plan to stop Amanda and save Lilith’s ancestors in this time period,” Laika added.

“Yes, and we’ll explain it to you later. Right now we need to go,” Leila said. Then she turned to Rose and said, “Thank you so much for finding us and healing us.”

“It was no problem,” Rose replied. Leila smiled, turned, and began towards the exit. Then she remembered something.

“Rose, you said you were a demigod right?” she asked.

“Yes,” Rose answered.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">“I would love to help you,” Rose replied.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">“Wonderful,” Leila said and she started towards the exit again, “Come on, let’s go kick Amanda’s butt.”
