Both girls began to head to the
door.
“Where are you going?” asked the
Principal.
“Home,” said Aphrodite.
“Athena?” asked the secretary,
“don’t you have detention until 4.”
“So,” said Athena, “I’m going home
anyway. Besides my mom is here to pick us up. Do you really want to explain to
her why I can’t go home?”
“Uh,” said the Principal, “you may
go home.”
They leave.
“Why did you do that?” asked the
secretary.
“Her mom is Hera Olym,” said the
Principal, “the wife of one of the most powerful men in the city. And she is
equally as powerful so if they want to go home I’m letting them go home. And
tell Michelle she is excused from detention as well.”
“Yes mam,” said the secretary.
The Principal returns to her office.
The secretary goes into the detention room.
The secretary walks in.
“Michelle Van Helsing,” said the
secretary, “you are free to go home.”
“Where’s Athena?” asked Michelle,
“she never showed up.”
“She got in a fight with her sister
and then both of them left,” said secretary, “so you are free to go too just to
be fair.”
“Okay,” said Michelle, who then
thought to herself, “It worked.”
Michelle gathers her books and heads
for the door.
“Oh Michelle,” said the secretary,
“Let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t be messing with the Olym family. They
are very powerful and no one can seem to bring them down a notch.”
“They’re
not as powerful as you think secretary,” thought Michelle, “Not as powerful as you think.”
She gathers her books and leaves the
room and the building. She then pulls out her cell phone and calls her mom to
come and get her because it was already too late to catch the bus.
“My queen,” said a fairy, who
approaches the throne.
“Yes, do you have a report?” asked
the queen.
“Yes, I do,” said the fairy.
“Does it have to do with my
daugh-err-granddaughter?” asked the queen.
“Yes, mam,” said the fairy, “you
asked me and my secretary to watch over her at school and to be mindful of
signs of her becoming a vampire queen.”
“And what do you have to report?”
asked the queen.
“It’s not good,” said the fairy,
“She seems to be able to control the actions of one of the students at my
school.”
“That’s not good,” said the queen.
“No, mam,” said fairy, “and there is
one reason other than Michelle becoming a vampire queen that this isn’t a good
thing.”
“What is that?” asked the queen.
“The girl’s last name is Olym,” said
the fairy, “the secretary had to use her magic to break up a fight between
these two girls because it was Michelle’s manipulations that caused them to do
this to begin with.”
“Olym,” said the queen, “why does
that sound familiar?”
“Olym is short for Olympus as in
Mount Olympus,” said the fairy, “This powerful family believes they are the
reincarnation of the gods of Mount Olympus. The girl’s name is Athena.”
“Are they the reincarnation of the
gods?” asked the queen.
“I don’t know,” said the fairy, “but
they are powerful and if your daughter has control over these two girls then if
she does become queen of the vampires controlling this city would not be a
problem at all.”
“I see,” said the queen, “if she is
controlling them then that can only mean one thing. Her blood flows in them and
if they were to die they would immediately become vampires thus making her
transformation to queen complete.”
“I believe,” said the fairy, “that
she may already be a queen, just not fully aware of it.”
“Have people died with her blood in
them yet?” asked the queen.
“Yes,” said the fairy, “Fairies have
reported back to me that since the night of that tent collapse that two people
have died after they received a blood transfusion.
“Were any fairies hurt in that
ordeal?” asked the queen.
“I believe one was,” said the fairy,
“but I am not absolute certain about that.”
“If a fairy was there,” said the
queen, “how come she wasn’t in her invisible fairy form?”
“I don’t know,” said the fairy,
“this tent meeting that was held was very weird. All the 500 people in
attendance were doing chants of some kind.”
“Witches?” asked the queen.
“My queen,” said the fairy, “I find
it hard to believe that there are 500 witches in this city alone. That would
mean 500 former fairies.”
“True but they could have been
witches long before I became the fairy queen,”
she said, “so I may not of known there were that many because I didn’t sense when they made the switch.”
she said, “so I may not of known there were that many because I didn’t sense when they made the switch.”
“But what about the warlocks that
would have appeared and made them all genies if they were witches?” asked the
fairy, “Not to mention that two have died and become vampires already which
would not be possible if they were witches.”
“You said that the girl my daughter
manipulated is named Athena?” asked the queen.
“That’s right,” said the fairy,
“Athena Olym.”
“And all of the members of that
family are named after the ancient Greek gods?” asked the fairy queen.
“Yes,” said the fairy, “that’s
right.”
“Do they believe themselves to be
the ancient Greek gods?” asked the fairy queen.
“I think they do,” said the fairy.
“Are they as wealthy as they are
influential?” asked the queen.
“Yes, they are,” said the fairy,
“and I think I know what you are getting at. They were the financial backers of
that tent meeting and I bet even the ones leading in the chants.”
“I see,” said the queen, “that
meeting must have been for a local cult that worships those guys.”
“And this family, my queen,” said
the fairy, “is taking advantage of them by claiming to be these gods.”
“Just which gods are they claiming
to be?” asked the fairy.
“There is Athena, my student,” said
the fairy, “She has an older cousin named Aphrodite. Aphrodite has an older
brother named Ares. Their parents are Apollo and Artemis. Artemis has a brother
named Zeus and his wife’s name is Hera.”
“Whoa, whoa, wait a minute,” said
the queen, “those relationships are all wrong.”
“Well I didn’t say they were the
gods just that they claimed to be them,” said the fairy, “their relationships
to each other aren’t the same as in the myths but they’re still screwy and I
think a close knit family.”
“Who are Athena’s parents?” asked
the queen.
“Oh I hadn’t given their names yet
have I?” asked the fairy.
The queen nods her heads.
“Well they’re Zeus and Hera,” said
the fairy, “It’s what makes Aphrodite and Athena cousins. And to round out the
group, Zeus and Apollo have two more brothers: Poseidon and Hades.”
“Are they married?” asked the queen.
“Poseidon is married to Hestia and
they have a little boy named Hermes,” said the fairy,
“And Hades is married to Demeter and
they have a son named Dionysus, a son named Hephaestus.”
“How old are the kids?” asked the
queen.
“Hermes is 10; Dionysus is 12 and
Hephaestus is 16; and finally Ares is around 20 I think,” said the fairy, “He
has both finished high school anyway.”
“Wow,” said the queen.
“I
know,” said the fairy.
“I believe we have talked enough
about the Olyms,” said the queen, “let’s now talk about what you came here to
tell me.”
“Right,” said the fairy, “this
morning Athena was sent to me for making Michelle late for class. And she
admits it right then and there without hesitation. Since it was a confrontation
with your daughter I was suspicious because I knew Michelle could become queen
of the vampires one day so I checked their schedules for a class they had
together and it was 6th period gym and I went to the school pool
because I knew this was swimming week and I watched as Athena jumped into the
pool while wearing her cheerleading outfit and swam the entire length of the
pool twice. She then made Athena cluck like a chicken among other things. The
thing is neither Athena nor Michelle knows why this is happening.”
“I’ll asked Michelle about that when
she gets home,” said the queen.
“Well it won’t be until after four
because both she and Athena have detention today,” said the fairy.
“Is that all you have to report?”
asked the queen.
“Yes, it is,” said the fairy.
“Then you are dismiss,” said the
queen.
