Pic of Apollo
"Artemis! Artemis! ARTEMIS!"a voice yelled.  "Wake up!" I opened my tired eyes and saw my brother and sisters looking at me with worried eyes.  I saw that I was in my own bed.  "What happened?"I asked. "You went up way too high, and blacked out. I see that you didn't take the news too well,"Emerson replied.  "Ya think!"I retorted sarcastically.  "No!  I handled the news great!  Thanks for that!"  "We know you are shocked, and we are sorry,"Apollo said calmly.  As if he understood.  Ember came into my line of sight.  Her red hair was messy and tangled, and her arms were scratched. "How did you all get out of class?"I asked.  "Mrs.Janie noticed you looked really stressed so she sent Emerson and I to check on you, and Apollo snuck out of class. We then ran outside to find you flying in a daze.  You flew extremely fast."Ember replied.  "Agreed, no winged person has flown that fast. Ever,"Apollo said his eyes were full of admiration and shock.  I gasped my eyes grew wide."Wait you mean there are more people with wings!"  Emerson sighed,"Yes, there  is a whole community of them, Mom and Dad live there."  Mom and dad were alive! Suddenly a vast, huge consciousness pressed against mine.  It had violet chords of beautiful wild music.  "Hello Artemis, do as your brother and sister say, if not you are in grave danger."It was a soft, elegant female voice.  "You will discover abilities you never knew you had.  Right now you realized someone was in your mind, and you can talk to people telepathically.  "You, Ember, Apollo, and Emerson can do this.  But yours is so strong you can push into people's minds.  You can also send images and dreams to other."  "Who are you?"I asked.  "Don't you know me?"She questioned, puzzled.  I suddenly felt a flood of memories crash through me like a stormy sea.  It showed six figures, one was a beautiful women with long red hair braided down her back with light violet eyes flecked with gold.  A handsome man with short dark brown hair, and green eyes flecked with silver, a tiny girl with red hair and green eyes, and three crying babies.  One baby had a tuft of auburn hair with dark violet eyes flecked with silver, another with golden blonde hair and midnight blue eyes, flecked with gold, and lastly a baby with light brown hair streaked with blonde and dark violet eyes flecked with gold.  The mother stares at the baby with light brown hair lovingly, while the father and the girl look at the others.  The mother says,"Welcome to this world Artemis."  The memories stop.  "You're my mother."I answer in a tiny voice.  "Yes, and I love you very much.  But you have to get moving immediately, you have to leave your foster family.  You were unconscious for a long time.  Pack up now."Mom answers. Her consciousness recedes.  "Artemis can you hear me!"Ember yells.  I closed my eyes and concentrated, jabbing past Ember's defenses.  Her mind is filled with music, high and green.  "Yes! I hear you! Mom contacted me.  We have to leave now!" I broadcasted my last thought to my siblings."We are in grave danger,  I'll explain later.  Ember and I are going to pack now!"  "Good! You learned how speak telepathically, but you need to pack now!"Apollo and Emerson reply.  Embers eyes widened but she did as they said.  I packed my MacBook (it's small),IPhone, and IPad with their chargers.  2 pairs of jeans, and 2 pairs of shorts, 2 short sleeved shirts, and 2 sweaters.  One pair of tennis shoes,  long, warm, fuzzy black Ugg boots, a coat, a jacket, a leather bound book, a few pens and pencils, and a book.  I grabbed a flashlight and a bunch of batteries.  Then two water bottles filled with water, last but not least a tiny pillow and sleeping bag.  Apollo and Emerson shouldered their packs, and Ember quickly packed and wrote a fast note saying we were going to leave, thanking them for providing for us, and said we would never see them again.  Tears bit at the corners of my eyes as I said my goodbyes.  Ember cried also.  We then quietly tiptoed out of the house and closed the door.  We opened our wings, and jumped in the air.  "We have a hideout,"Said Emerson directing her thoughts to us.  We flew for a few hours, the longest I have ever flown.  My shoulder began to burn with the exertion, and I dipped down a bit.  "We are almost here,"Apollo thought to me.  We soon arrived at a little cave covered with ice circles.  "We are here."   Forgetting my exhaustion I did a sequence of flips and twists, while corkscrewing in the air.  I landed with a flip, I had timed it perfectly.  "Beautiful,  I am assuming you learned this at the community."Emerson told me.  They landed with a soft thud, and ran into the cave.  Apollo started a fire, and we all put down our sleeping bags.  "So,"I called out to my siblings,"What does this community look like, and what are we called.  Apollo took a deep breath and answered,"Our community is not a community at all.  It is a city with a gigantic palace.  Some years ago, when our father was royalty he is the eldest brother of three.  His father said that if he was to ascend the throne, that he must have a wife. So he spent months searching for a wife.  One day he stopped at an old man's  house.  It was a small, cheery cottage.  He asked the old man if he had any daughters that would be willing to marry.  The old man had two daughters, one was married, and the other was not.  He asked if he could come in and the old man said yes.  Dad came in and saw a beautiful woman with red hair and violet eyes.  Our mom.  She looked at the prince in shock for she was dressed in a plain cotton dress.  She curtsied and apologized.  Well, our father saw past the rags and he fell in love.  He said to her, "If you will be my life you will be raised from rags to riches.  You will be queen.  This is not a command, but a plea.  Will you marry me?"  She replied yes.   She came to the palace and married him.  They held a coronation, and he put the crown upon her head.  They had four children. We are called the Valkyries. Then he was silent.  I crawled into bed and fell asleep.
