The wind is blowing against my hair, the smell of salty water fills my nostrils and the screams of scared people fill my ears.
I slowly start looking around, the skies are dark and ocean is in turmoil. I look at the half destroyed buildings that have such intricate designs.
I look down, and see water rushing through the entire city and in its ways taking hundreds of life.
I want to wake up, but I can't The Dream like all those times before wants to show me something and I doubt I'll like it.
I finally look in the direction The Dream is pulling me to and what I see scares me.
It's a girl...she turns around with a tear stained face and says "I'm sorry, I couldn't control them, the pain is too strong."
I'm too stunned to speak as I stare at her and it wasn't the fact that she was floating in midair, or the fact that she look heartbroken and completely destroyed that shocked me, it was the fact that she looks exactly like me, maybe a bit older, but I can tell it's me.
I feel my body getting hot and sweat running through my entire body, my breathing quickens, my brain aches and my heart feels broken.
I finally wake up and look at my phone, its 3 a.m in the morning, I'm tired and need to sleep, but I can't.
Ever since I turned 16 a few days ago this dream keeps hunting me, I brought it up yesterday during dinner but mom and dad said, that they were probably just dreams.
My brother Kin in the other hand stop mid-bite and started asking questions which I found weird since he is usually annoying me.
When I got to school I told my best friend Lilly and my boyfriend Daniel, Lilly acted a bit weird as well, and she kept asking me questions like if I've had déjà vu or gotten any memories back, I just ignored her assuming she was just being her usual self.
I sit by my window and stare at the moon, I've always felt some type of connection to it, I always wake up around the same time and just stare at it for an hour or so, just imagining how beautiful it would look right up close.
Ever since little The Moon has always calmed me down, I don't know why or how, but it just does.
My peacefulness doesn't last long though because soon later fragments of the dreams start coming into my memory and some parts that I've never seen before.
After a few seconds I go back to normal and start processing what just happened, I'm really doubting that The Dream is actually just a dream, there is more to it than meets the eye and I would find out what sooner rather than later.
Right now I'm at a school party everyone is dancing having fun, I'm wearing my long black hair up in a ponytail, I have some like makeup and a blue short dress with some dark blue hills.
It has been almost 10 minutes since Daniel said he was going to get some fruit punch for both of us, but he hasn't come back.
I suddenly turn around and see my best friend running like her life depended on it as she gets closer I see a bunch of bruises on her face.
"What happened?" I ask as I catch her.
"Daniel...he...danger..." he stutters
Before she can even finish I start running outside, and I can see a group of guys standing over something or more like...someone.
I run towards them and without thinking I punch one of them, and he goes flying, at first I was shocked, but quickly regained my composter.
I rushed to where Daniel's body was and used myself as a human shield, after that I don't remember anything all I can remember was waking up in a hospital with my best friend by my side and my mom asking the doctor for explanation of what was going on.
I slowly opened my eye.
"Mom..." I said in a weak voice.
"Baby," she says as she looks at me with puffy red eyes. "How are you feeling? Do you need anything?"
"How is Daniel?" I ask in worry.
"He is OK, don't worry," she says with a smile.
I slowly nod and close my, and then everything started rushing back to me.
How I beat all those guys, the power that had surged through my body, Athena's voice telling me to control my anger and finally all my memories from my past lives, my first love of millions of years back, my memories of being a Goddess, how I destroyed Athens, the pain of losing my love.
Everything...
All the emotions were too much, so I started crying...
After half an hour I calm down and asked mom if she could leave me with Lilly and Kian.
Once they are both there, I say "I remember everything, you guys can stop pretending Artemis and Apollo..."
They look at each other and then Lilly says..."how..."
Before she could, answer , "I guess seen Daniel in danger triggered my memories, besides my mom came to me"
"Oh," they say as one.
"What exactly happened?", I ask.
"Millions of years ago when God's and humans live together in peace, your mother Athena and your father Aries we're both the rulers of Athens, and the God's together ruled Greece."
" There had been a prophecy,,, but there will be a deity, so powerful that she would become the ruler oh the Gods. The prophecy also said the parents of this baby would be very similar and yet different. Your mother and father they were afraid so they didn't tell you."
"When you turn 15 you started leaving the castle, during that time you met a boy and you both would meet everyday at the same time, that happened for 2 years by the time you were 17 you both have fallen in love."
" Your mother Athena found out about this and she rushed to tell your father Aries who didn't like the idea of both humans and gods falling in love. He told you to keep away from him but you didn't listen."
"One night when he caught both of you together he asked you to go to sleep you know that something was off but you didn't know what you just listen to your father."
"That night when you woke up you could smell blood and you knew whose blood it was...after that you cried yourself every night and your emotions were in a swirl."
"You quickly started losing control of your power and emotions. Something that neither of your parents or you knew was that you were connected to the Earth so, any bad emotions from you could destroy the entire world."
"You ended up destroyibg the world the gods used to the last bit of power to restore it, and now we need your help." finished Lilly.
"Oh, and your goddess name is Selene you're the goddess of The Moon." added Kian or...Apollo.
A few days have passed since I found out about my real identity. I actually quite enjoy it even if it is a bit scary.
Lilly/Artemis told me that Mother Earth was waking which is not good according to what they told me and the research I've made.
Apparently, everytime Mother Earth awakes she causes huge distraction and death.
Anyways…
I'm at Daniel's front door waiting for his mom to come downstairs and open the door.
After a few minutes the door swings open, before I can say anything Logan jumps in my arms.
"Hiiiiiiii," he says with a wide smile.
"Logan, you can't jump on people like this," she says with a serious yet sweet tone.
"That's okay, Mrs. Johnson," I say with a small smile.
"If you say so, sweetheart," she motions for me to come in.
"How is Daniel?," I ask as I make my way inside.
"He is upstairs, you can go see him if you would like," before she could even finish I was making my way up the stairs.
I knock softly before coming in, once I hear soft humming letting me know that I can enter.
"Hey sugar bun," I say as tear fill my eyes seen him like this.
A small smile forms in his lips as he notices me.
"Baby..." I make my way towards him and give him a quick peck on the lips.
"What are you doing here?," he says in a low voice.
"Wdym?? Checking on you of course," I respond with seriousness.
"But you should be resting..." he answers with worried.
"And you should be resting and eating, as far as I can tell you are doing neither, am I right?
He stays quite for a few minutes than says,
"How do you know?"
"I know you well. Now, stay in bed I'll get you something to eat from downstairs."
"Ok," he nods like an obedient child as I close the door behind me.
"I slowly make my way downstairs and see Mrs. Johnson making some soup, "Is that for Daniel?"
"Yes, would you mind bringing it to him?"
"Not at all," I say while I go and take a bowl and put some soup in it and ten make my way up the stairs.
As I get closer to the door, I hear something so I slow down, I slowly open the door and I see my mother, Athena standing in the middle of the room talking to Daniel...
"-you have to remember, Selene WILL need you"
"Who is Selene? What do I need to remember?"
"Enough," I say as I make my way inside.
"Athena, I think you should leave, stop wasting your power, I know what to do." I say with coldness in my voice and hatred in my eyes.
I turn to see Daniel's shocked face.
"Here, have something to eat...," I say with worry.
"Not until you tell me who was that woman" he says in a serious voice.
After lots of persisting i give in and explain to him everything or at least that i know.
"Why was she telling me to remember...?," he asks.
"I don't know, but you are unwell and need reast, once you get better we'll talk to Kian and Lilly, they probably know something. Now, eat."
