The new Goddess
21. Alex
I woke up by sunlight shining in my face. Sunlight? Was the first thing I thought. How was that possible in a cave?
I opened my eyes and to my surprise I was laying in the grass. 'What the...' I said. Then I saw a boy sitting in the grass a few meters away from me.
'Hello!' He said.
I narrowed my eyes and looked for my sword. It wasn't there. The monster must've taken it. Great, now I couldn't defend myself.
'Don't worry!' The boy said. 'I won't hurt you or something.'
'Where am I?' I asked him.
'You're in prison.'
'You call this a prison? It's wonderful! It feels like the nature gives me power or something.'
'Thats right. My dad made the prison like this so demigods he'd captured could get more powerful and then he kills them, you know, what he wanted to do with your friend.'
'Wait a minute. Did you say... Your dad?'
'Well uhm yeah... It surprises most demigods but actually I'm sort of like you.'
'What are you?'
'Im a demi monster.' The boy said. I looked again at him. He was quite handsome, he had short, black hair, dark eyes and a tanned skin and he was about my age.
'But you don't look like a monster at all!' I said.
He laughed. 'Yeah well demigods look like normal people too right? Well it's the same with me. My dad is a monster and my mom is a mortal. But I have also powers, just like demigods.'
'Never heard of it.'
'Thats because we're very rare, there aren't a lot of mortal women who want to date a monster.' He laughed.
'So when is you're dad planning to kill me?' I asked.
'Ohh he's not going to kill you. You're special or something. He's going to deliver you to his mistress.'
'Cool. And why again are you telling me this? Isn't your dad going to be mad?'
He shrugged. 'I don't care what he thinks. He put me here a few years ago and never said something to me again.'
'I guess you don't like him?'
He nodded. 'But at least I can talk to all the demigods he puts here.'
'Did he killed a lot of them?' I asked in shock.
'Oh no.' He laughed. 'Why do you think he's still trying to get stronger after all these years.
'So now we're just going to wait here until your fathers mistress is getting me?'
'No way. I'm going to get you out of here.'
'Really? Thanks ehm what's your name again?' I asked
'Oh how rude of me! I'm Mathew. You?'
'Alex.'
'Daughter of?'
'No idea.'
We talked for a while and I told him about camp and my 'quest' to find out who my godly parent was. For some reason I trusted him. He was really amazed by camp. He kept asking about the lake and the arena and the campfire.
'We have to make a plan.' Mathew finally said. 'My dad's mistress will be here tomorrow at 1 pm.'
'How do you know all that?' I asked.
'I have ears and my dad forgets that most of the time.'
I laughed. 'Really? Unbelievable!'
He smiled. 'Yeah it's pretty weird but okay. There's a way out of this prison. But it's a little hard and dangerous to get there. Do you still want to try it?'
'Off course! I have to get back to my friends as fast as possible.'
He nodded. 'Okay let's go then.'
I followed him through the prison. Everything was beautiful here. The trees with fruit or flowers, the grass, the little lake, everything.
He showed me a hollow tree. It was the entrance of a dark hallway.
'Ladies first.' He said. I looked at him in un believe.
'I was just kidding. Follow me!' He grinned and I followed him in the hallway.
Yeah you get to choose out of a bunch!
