Chapter 14: Capture
Mika began walking towards the camp. When she was real close to it, she began to sneak around the rocks and plants. There were guards guarding the camp and she made her way past them. She got into the area where the tents were. She heard a noise and ducked into a tent. She hid behind a piece of furniture. Footsteps came into the tent. She held her breath, hoping for them to leave. She heard murmuring voices. She concentrated and listened on the "wind".
"you almost ready?"
"yeah... i think so..." said a boys voice
"good... you cant botch the job this time or else... well you know what could happen..."
There was silence for a second.
"yeah... i wont mess up..."
"youd better not..."
Then one pair of footsteps went out of the room. Mika listened for the other person to leave.
It left and she breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up from behind the desk. She went to the door and looked out. No one was there. It was about night time in the world above and she suspected that every one would be asleep. She took a step out the door. Suddenly, all her senses were telling her that danger was a head. She took another step... and another... and then tripped on something. She felt rope and felt being lifted up in the air. She was entangled in a net above the ocean floor. She heard laughing. She turned to see who it was.
"so your the one spying on us..." came the boys voice from the shadows.
Mika shut her mouth and said nothing. Then the guy came out of the dark. He was the hottest guy she had ever seen. Blonde, blue eyed and all muscle.
"and who are you exactly? and why are you here?"
Mika swallowed. "i aint saying..."
The boy came closer. "oh really..."
Electricity shot from a ring on his finger into her. She was surprised and jumped.
"what was that for?"
"a zeus child huh? i know who and where your from..."
Mika looked at him.
"your mika... the kid poseidon got... your here to destroy eris' plans..."
Mika shook her head.
"dont lie to me..."
Mika shrugged.
"how do you know if im not lying? how do you even know if your information is correct? and who the heck are you?"
The kid smiled.
"wouldnt you like to know."
"actually... no... i dont really care..."

Chapter 15: The goddess of chaos
After some weird creepy one eyed monsters came and tore the net down, Mika had been dragged down to the trough. The water was bubbling like a cauldron and was white with foam.
"Thats where Oceanus is" said the guy.
"like i care..." said mika.
The guy laughed. "sure yah dont"
They crossed over a footbridge and were soon on the other side. Mika looked up and saw the cave.
"really?!" she said. then she smiled.
i guess gods arent seening and all knowing she thought with amusement.
"and ur laughing at what?" said the guy.
"i get super claustrophobic..." which was half of the truth. "Sides whats your name.... you know mine... and i think i should know yours."
"you just think? i thought you didnt think at all...." said the guy seriously.
Mika glared at him. the guy laughed.
"do you really need to know that bad?"
mika shrugged then nodded.
"fine... its josh... what else do you wAnt... my number my dads name?"
Mika rolled her eyes. "like id want your number."
josh laughed. "youd be surprised.."
"and whats that even supposed to mean?"
"i was right about you not thinking...."
mika glared at him. he just lAughed.
"were here." he said.
they were at the cave entrance. it was not guarded, from the outside atleast. hidden behind the walls around the entrance were monsters mika had never even heard of. it was dark and uninviting. mika looked ahead and saw alot of caverns and room like things. the giards not on guard were hanging around the main cavern, where apparently the slePt. there was a hallway like area which led off to a couple littler rooms. Josh shoved her towards the last one at the very end of the hallway.
"ready to meet eris?"
"as ready as ill ever be.."
They walked into the room. the first thought that hit Mika's mind was that this room had to be the best in the cave. the walls were covered with tapestrys decorated with gory scenes of war. the carpets were amazingly soft and had geometrical shapes that decorated the edges. the tall strands swayed gently in the current. on an old greek couch lounged a woman who looked only a couple of years older than Mika. She had curly raven black hair and alabaster white skin. her lips were a stark red against her skin, like blood. As she turned her head, her eyes met Mika's. they were violet and quite sparkly. she was wearing a typical all white toga. thh rope around her waist was gold. this was the goddess eris.
"thats it? your not like half lion half snake or anything? wow." said Mika.
eris smiled an amused smile at Mika.
"not a hello? what are they teaching you these days at that beastly camp..."
Mika grimaced.
"i have never been to that stupid camp everyone talks about..."
Eris laughed.
"surprise surprise... so what are you doing here? hm? tryiing to destroy my plans? how is a little girl like you going to do that?"
Mika rolled her eyes. "dont flatter yourself..."
Josh laughed. "i caught her sneaking around the main tent. Shes definitely working for poseidon...''
Eris gave a creepy smile. "well... you know what we do with snoopers like her..."
Josh gave a grin. "yes... i do..."
Eris smiled. "well... off you go..."
Josh grabbed mika's arms and started dragging her outta the cave.
"what are you doing?!"
Josh gave an evil smile. "well.. you know that titan that lives in that pit? it seems to me that hes a little hungry...''

Chapter 16: meeting Oceanus
Mika began to fight him but he got out a pen looking like thing and clicked it so the pen opened. He pressed the part where the ink was supposed to come out up to her arm.
"OW!" she yelled.
Josh smiled and shook his head. "taser. Works every time..."
An idea finally started to form in Mika's head.
Josh locked her in a shack like building made of stone on the trench.
"wont be long now til you see charon.." he said. Then he walked off.
Mika looked down at the floor. It was a grate and it was right above the openings in the bars. The bars apparently had had smaller gaps but they had been eaten away by Josh's magic. She looked farther down. A dark shape loomed beneath her. SHe sighed. She .ooked around the shack. There were a couple bones here and there, bones she didnt reconize. She had a quick intake of breath. Hadnt poseidon said that he sent merfolk to the trench to look around? He hadnt known what happened to them, but she knew. SHe jidggled the doorknob. Locked and locked tight. SHe looked around the walls. The were scratches apparently made from dying merfolks fingernails, as one final attempt to get out. She looked closer. There was a writing on the wall.
αναζητήστε πέτρα βέλος προς τα δεξιά
Her mind instantly translated it.
look for arrow stone to the right
She looked at the floor. It had an arrow that pointed to the wall. It pointed in between a crack the stone. She looked to the right. Tat stone seemed a little outta position. She looked at it closer. There was a tiny arrow on the top left corner. SHe pushed it a little and i gave away. She looked around outside and crawled through the opening and was free. She looked down. The black creature was getting closer to the grate. She began to run to the other side of the trench. Just behind her, the thing banged its head against the bars. It cracked a little. Just as its hungry mouth opened wide to eat her, she jumped to the sand, rolled, and was safe. She took a deep breath. She looked around again. It looked like no one had seen her. She began to look around for Josh. She would have to disable him from making the bars anymore weak, but she didnt want to hurt him, even if hed tried to kill her. AS she was sneaking around, she stumbled across a golden ring in the sand. SHe picked it up. It had a blue stone insetted in it surrounded by ten little diamonds. THe blue stone's hueschanged every secong, with a marbled blue and white together to sea green and blu and all the colors in between. She picked it up and put it on her finger. She finally saw Josh standing on a hill above the trench. Green mist swirled around him.
my best guess is hes making the fulgarites weaker... mika thought.
She climbed the hill and crouched behind him. His eyes were closed and he was murmuring some spells. She looked at the bars. They were also covered in a green mist and were glowing white. She had to do something, and fast. SHe decided on using his own weapon against him. After years of practicing pickpocketing, her fingers slid into his pocket and grabbed the pen. She set the pen on high voltage, and got ready. Then she tackled him to the ground. He gave a surprise yelp and was instantly silenced by a jolt of electricity. He was knocked out cold. Mika felt his pulse in his neck to make sure he was still alive. Then she created an electrical barrier around her and Josh. She closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Lightning flashed into the water and hit the sand. It began crawling towards the bars on the trench. There it cemented and made the bars stronger. She quickly opened an eye to make sure that he was still unconcious. His eyes were open and fear had settled in them. He jumped up and tried to yank her away from the trench. Mika stuck out her hand and a bolt of electricty sprang from her fingers and hit him square in the chest. He fell backwards and lay still. Terrible wails began to come from the trench. Multiple voices flooded into her head. They were mocking her, and saying she wasnt good enough. They reminded her of every wrong thing that she had done. THey said she was a mistake. She clenched her teeth and tried to bear it, but she was soon overwhelmed, and her hands went to her ears and she fell to the ground. Her eyes closed.

Chapter 17: Eris Gives a Bad Deal
Mika's eyes fluttered open and she instantly grabbed for her sword. But it wasn't there. She heard a laugh from the doorway of the cave that was her room. Bars criss-crossed around the entrance and there wasnt a door. She finally located the source of the laughter.
"eris." mika said quietly.
"yes... and you have been a very naughty little girl.." eris said in a voice that she would use with a baby. "we really need to teach you some manners...."
Mika sat up off the rock hard floor and glared at Eris. SHe laughed again.
"aw... shes mad at me.." she said with a chuckle.
Mika stood up and went to the bars and slapped her hard across the face. Eris' eyes still held mirth.
"you do that again... and ill make sure that you make it to the river Styx." eris said.
MIka looked at her with sudden confusion.
"ive thought it over... we could use some one like you... for our... cause..." said eris smoothly.
Mika laughed. "like id want to help a creeper like you."
Eris just smiled. "your parents dont care about you... do they..."
Mika looked blankly at her. "my parents love me... they tell me all the time.."
"no... not your adopted parents... your real parents..."
Mika looked at the floor.
Eris smiled. "so they dont?"
MIka looked back at eris. "im not so sure about my dad... but i know my mom is out there and i bet you that she loves me..."
"poor girl... her dad wouldnt tell her who her real mom even was? or if she was even alive? pity.."
Mika tried to keep tears from falling.
"you know that... good..."
Mika turned her face away to hide the tears. She heard other footsteps and murmuring. Then the person walked away.
"you see... your dad doesnt want you to know who your mom is... he thinks you might turn away from him and hed have no use for you in the future... thats the only reason he wants you. your nothing to him. He only sees you as a tool to use when times get tough for him. He doesnt say thank you. He wont appreciate it. If you died on a quest, hed turn his head and go find another, better hero, one that wouldnt fail him. No tears would fall. You could be some one elses daughter for all her cares. You were a mistake. thats all he sees you as."
eris went silent. MIka put her head to her knees. How many times had she thought the same thing, but then thought maybe she was different? or that mythology was wrong about him? but here was a goddess telling her her worst fears were true? "but... here? were just a big family. we all get along. Were like siblings towards one another. we honestly care about you..."
"if you care so much... just let me out... please..."
Eris shook her head. "im sorry... i cant do that..."
Mika's tear streaked face turned up.
"i just need time to think... to see the sky..."
Eris sighed. "fine... but Josh has to go with you..."
Mika honestly didnt care... she just had to get out.
