So I had this awesome idea for a prophecy and figured this need to become a story, it's too good to pass up!

Again, I used to be with Twin-books so this story belongs to me. I'm the author. I'm claiming my stories. :)

So here's my second story! Enjoy!

They were so young and she knew this was so. Too young…she thought. How can I take them away from each other?!

A young 5 year old girl, with red hair and multi-colored eyes played with her friend in the field. Her friend-a boy with dark brown hair and deep blue eyes chased after her.

"Can't catch me!" cried the girl.

"Want a bet?!" the boy replied. The girl ran over the light brown vibrant grains, trampling dandelions and flinging away their seeds. The boy followed her and tried grabbing her skirt, but she only sped up.

The woman admiring them from a far watched as they played, in wonder and amusement. I wish they weren't so young! The women thought. I wish I could keep them together. I wish the oracle had never given the gods that stupid prophecy! I wish I could just watch them forever! The woman eyed the boy helping the girl up, she must have tripped.

The girl was crying because of the new booboo she had gotten from the fall. The boy kneeled down and blew on her scab. "That better?" he asked. The girl sucked in her tears and nodded her head, the boy hugged her.

"You're my best friend!" The girl told him. "I want it to be that way forever!"

"Me too." Agreed the boy.

The woman cried as she watched the children, she knew what they were talking about, she knew it was time. Why?! She thought in despair. Why?! She knew it was time, she knew what she had to do, and yet she hated it so much it tore her apart. A man showed up and looked at the children, one look at his face and she knew he didn't want to do it either. "It's time." Informed the man.

The woman nodded her head sadly. "I know." The pair got up and approached the children. "Hello, I'm Tessa and this is…" she just realized she didn't know the man's name.

"Harold, I'm Harold." He introduced. "We're here to adopt."

"You're our new parents?" asked the girl.

The women blinked tears out of her eyes but managed a smile. "Yes, your friend here is going with Harold and you're coming with me." The girl frowned, she had known this would happen, Tessa could tell from the look in her eyes.

The girl hugged her friend and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you again someday! Promise! I swear on the river Styx!" she said. No lightning thundered because the gods knew that was one promise that could not be kept.

The boy hugged her back and let a tear slip down his cheek. "See you then." He replied.

"Dylan?" called Harold to the boy. Dylan trudged behind Harold in the field, stealing glances at the girl as he went.

"Scarlet?" I asked.

"Yes…ur, um…Tessa?" she replied. Tessa flinched she didn't have the heart to tell that little girl she was never going to see her best friend again, so instead she smiled.

"Call me mom, please?" Tessa answered.

"Okay, mom." Scarlet said. Tessa took Scarlet's hand and lead her away. It broke Tessa's heart when she saw Scarlet looking back at Dylan and him looking back at her, sadness in each other's their eyes.

She squeezed Scarlet's hand. "I love you." She whispered.

"I love you, too." Scarlet cried with a big smile. From that moment on Tessa was determined to help Scarlet have a wonderful life and nothing was going to stop her, not even the gods themselves.

…..o0o…..

Before the separation with the gods:

The gods gathered around. "These children our menaces to our lives!" cried Zeus.

"How can these two children, cause so much damage?!" Asked Poseidon.

"Studies have shown these two children have a special unique power not seen in demigods for many a millennia! With the power they have these children if together could wake a titan!" Athena said.

"You've studied these kids?!" Poseidon asked.

"We have to never know what kind of threat we'll face and they come in all shapes and sizes!" Zeus answered. Poseidon made a low growl only he could hear.

"These children could wake titans?!" Artemis cried. "Absurd!"

"I agree with my sister, it does seem pretty farfetched." Apollo agreed.

"You know, on second thought maybe it's not so absurd at all!" Artemis decided.

"I know it may not seem like it but this boy and girl do have that kind of power!" Athena insisted.

"So you're saying we have to separate them?" Hermes asked.

"Indeed." Zeus answered.

"But there so cute together!" cried Aphrodite. "Surely there must be a better way?"

"No!" Zeus insisted. "This is our only option!"

"I'm down for separating them!" Ares cried cracking his knuckles.

"I not!" whimpered Aphrodite.

"I want proof." Hestia said (A/N is she still allowed there or am I just confused…). "I'll consult the oracle." Poseidon, Apollo, Hephaestus and Aphrodite nodded their heads in agreement.

"You can consult the oracle, but all you'll see is that I'm right!" Zeus replied. Hestia nodded her head in respect and left.

…..o0o…..

Hestia headed to consult the oracle, the corpse was in the corner of the attic of the big house. No one knew Hestia was up there, no one except maybe Chiron. "Oracle!" Demanded Hestia. Green spoke poured out of the corpse's mouth.

"What pleasure leaves a god in my presents?" asked the corpse.

"Oracle, I need to know the future of two children." Hestia answered.

"Ah, the daughter of Hermes and son of Apollo I presume?" asked the oracle.

"Yes." Hestia said.

"I can't give you it all but here is a hint:

Daughter of Many, Son of trade,

Forget the lives they once made,

After many years of being apart,

They come together and release eternal Dark.

Does that help the great goddess Hestia with her question?" The corpse said.

"Yes, thank you." Hestia answered. The corpse went back into sleep. As Hestia exited the big house she knew the oracle didn't tell her the whole prophecy, the oracle said it herself. But her proof was there and as much as she hated to admit it these children needed to separate.

…..o0o…..

"Well?" Poseidon asked Hestia hopeful. Hestia shook her head sadly.

"The prophecy?" asked Zeus.

"It isn't finished but:

Daughter of Many, son of trade,

Forget the lives they once made,

After many years of being apart,

They come together and release eternal Dark." Hestia said.

"Then it's decided a daughter of Aphrodite and a son of Hephaestus will be the children's legal guardians from this point on. They won't see their birth parents and will forget each other." Zeus ordered. Half the gods bowed their heads in sadness, half nodded in agreement.

Well how was that? Good? This is my first OC story so go easy please. :) Please Read and Review.
