The Mischief Continues Chapter 12

Printer-friendly version

Chalon Road, Los Angeles, California:
Fey wakes the next morning at the mansion Nike brought her, Sammy, and Dave to. The woman Nike introduced her to was beautiful-looking. She had shoulder-length blonde hair, olive skin, and blue eyes. The woman managed to return her skin and hair to their natural color.

As for Sammy, the woman managed to purge her of the toxin that had been introduced into her system. The doctors at the hospital couldn’t figure out what toxins had been introduced into her system or why they couldn’t get them out of her system. The blonde-haired woman came into her hospital room and made her drink some sweet-tasting medicine.

Two hours later, she was cured and weak as a kitten. Sammy found out that the woman’s name who cured her and was giving her a clean bill of health was named Leto. Nike and Leto picked her up and brought her to a beautiful mansion, where Leto healed Fey and Dave.

Fey, Dave, Nike, and Sammy were sitting outside in the courtyard of the mansion. They could smell the food Leto was preparing for them. Leto also made them special fruit drinks that she told them to drink. It would restore the magical energies all of them had lost.

Leto comes walking out of the house carrying a tray of several covered dishes. She balances the tray as she unloads the covered dishes to the middle of the table. She notices no one has touched their fruit drinks yet.

“You need to drink those fruit drinks to restore your magical energies. Now, drink up or I’m going to have you run my obstacle course for the next four hours.” Leto looks at all four of them.

“Yes ma’am.” Sammy picks up her glass and takes a sip of it. She was expecting some strange taste, but when she took a sip from her glass. It tasted really good.

Fey took a sip from her glass and loved the taste of the fruit drink. She watches as Dave takes a sip from his glass. She notices he loves the taste as much as she does.

“Good, now go ahead and start serving yourself. There’s plenty of food here for all four of you.”

Nike looks towards Leto “You’re not eating?”

“I had a fruit salad this morning before I started cooking. Now, the three of you need this food.” Leto watches as the three people she came to help start eating.

A smile appears on Nike’s face. She knew no one could argue with Leto. Leto was very old, but wise at the same time. Also, there was
something unique about Leto, that she couldn’t put her finger on.

The trio eats the breakfast cooked for them by Leto. They noticed that Leto was drinking a glass of some unknown golden color liquid. Sammy was curious “Ms. Leto, what is that you are drinking?”

“It’s an elixir that my uncle makes. I would recommend it to you, but it’s a little strong and not suited for normal people.” Leto looks at the young people sitting at the table.

“How are you ladies and gentlemen feeling?” Leto noticed that the three people who needed her help looked to be doing better.

“Better, thank you, ma’am.” Dave looked towards Leto and was feeling a whole lot better now.

“Yes, thank you, Ms. Leto.” Sammy was feeling better after eating the food prepared by Leto.

After breakfast, Fey volunteers to put away everything. While Fey is putting everything away and cleaning the dirty dishes. She watches as Leto, Nike, Sammy, and Dave talk outside. She wondered what they were talking about. She also wonders who has been tampering with her equipment and why.

Fey finishes cleaning the dishes and putting away everything. She stepped outside and walked back over to where the others were still sitting.
“Ms. Leto, do you know what was used on me?”

“No, but I did know how to counter it. Nike told me that you, Dave, and now your assistant have the magic gene in you. Do you know how or who you inherited the gene from?” Leto was curious about Fey.

“No ma’am, I don’t.” Fey didn’t know much about her family, except what her parents did and what her brothers did.

“Well, I think you need to dig into your family tree and see who might have had the gene. Normally, magic is passed down through the blood in your family.”

“How come?” Fey was curious.

“Well, some people are naturally born with the gift but aren’t strong. So, they sometimes intermarry with supernatural creatures or people like me who have strong magical connections.”

“What do you mean, people like you?” Fey was curious now.

“Didn’t Nike, tell you?” Leto had a curious look on her face.

“No ma’am. She never told us.” Fey looks towards Nike when she says that.

“I thought you should tell them, Leto. After all, it's your secret to reveal.” Nike looks at Leto.

“Very well.” Leto looks towards Fey, Sammy, and Dave.

Sammy has been sitting quietly thinking and listening to the conversation going on between Leto and Fey. She wonders why Leto said that she possesses a magical gene as well. Now she was curious as to who this Leto person was.

“So?” Fey looks at Leto with a puzzled look on her face.

“How to put this.” Leto thinks for a few seconds, and an idea pops into her head.

“Well?” Dave was curious as well.

“Have you ever watched the movie called Clash of The Titans?” Leto looks at all three people when she references that movie.

“Yes, I have.” Dave has seen it.

“I have as well,” Fey remembers watching it with her father.

“I haven’t.” Sammy has never even heard about the movie.

Leto looks towards Sammy “How about Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief?”

“I’ve watched that movie.” Sammy loved the first two movies.

“Are you saying you’re a demigod?” Fey now knew why Leto picked those two movies.

They were about demigods, children who were part god and part mortal.

“Yes, I’m one of the Greek God Apollo’s children.” Leto watches the other's response.

“You got to be kidding, us.” Fey looks at Leto and then Nike.

“She’s telling the truth. She’s over two hundred years old.” Nike had a serious look on her face.

“Wow!” Dave was surprised and seriously looked at Leto.

“So, the stories about Greek gods and goddesses are true?” Sammy was amazed as well.

“Yes, there are currently twenty demigods around the world. I have two daughters who have my blood running through their veins.”

“Are they anything like you?” Fey was curious.

“No, my youngest has minor healing abilities and my oldest daughter is a lot like her aunt Artemis. She’s a protector of animals.”

“Wow, the world has just gotten a lot stranger.” Dave couldn’t believe how things were changing around him.

“I know this a lot, but feel free to ask me anything and I’ll try to answer as honestly as I can.”

“Thank you, Leto.” Fey knew Sammy and Dave had a bunch of questions like she did.
