Sofia's Adventure

Sofia's POV

I was depressed & frustrated, for the past 2 months. Depressed because I was unable to forget his bitter words against me. Frustrated, ugh, the cause of my frustration is none other than the God of Thunder, Zeus. Sorry, let me introduce myself, the name is Sofia Faaris, age 25. Currently I'm in Olympia, where the Greek gods live. Yup, where gods like Zeus, Hades etc. Truth be told I came here by accident using a time-machine. Shocked, so was I for it was an experimental project made by my Professor. This happened about 2 years ago, I live in New York City, USA. As usual I was winding up the lab, cleaning & putting everything in its place. Thats when my 'evil' stepsister, Tanya Jennings Roberts, along with her plastic minions. They had outnumbered me because my group had already left along with Professor Carter. They were protective of me since I was the only girl in the group of 5 boys counting the Professor. Their names are respectively, Lionel Summers, he is our headmaster's nephew. Next is Allen Mathew, Lukas Grant, Wayne Reeves, he is half French. A senior might I add, lastly Tanya's latest toy boy named Miles Black. But somehow Tanya waltzes her way in our group besides the fact that she has never understood the basic terms of PhD. Her father the billionaire, Hector Jennings, who was one of the school board members. As for my Dad, Damien Rogers owns an established bakery of confectionery, since 1953, my grandparent's pride. Tanya's Mom & my Dad are married, my Mom, Yasmeen & them were best friends since high school. My Mom died of Breast cancer when I was 10 years old & my brother, Jamaal was 3. Dad was devastated after Mom died, so I had to take over. Everyone said that I was like my mother, slightly tall for 5ft 6 inches, long waist length black hair & unique smokey-grey eyes. Meaning I look like my Mom but the eyes were my own. I was 14 when Rita, Tanya's Mom married my Dad & we got along pretty good. As for Tanya, a typical spoilt rich brat, she was about my height with Reddish-Brown hair & blue-green eyes. She was only 2 months older than me & she never lets me forget it. My brother Jamaal became infatuated with her within a few days. Not only Jamaal but also many boys she had managed to wrap around her little finger. She managed to manipulate most of the kids since junior & upper high school against me. Even though I wasn't exactly popular or anything just a small group of friends. My 2 childhood friends, Chloe Jung, she is half Korean & Justin Hastings were immune to her plastic charm. Once I turned 18 an incident happened which caused me to lose Justin. An incident in which I was a victim but with Tanya's manipulation she made me the villain. No one believed me not even my parents & Chloe without evidence that is. So during college I had reverted my name to my mother's maiden name, Faaris. She was half Persian & Greek, Rita suggested this. That is for later as for my present situation well, like I said that I was outnumbered. I remember despite my woozy state I could hear Tanya's taunts about me being teacher's pet, slut, etc. They started pushing random buttons then whoosh, the door shuts automatically. The time-machine I was shoved into began to make loud noises & shaking. Then everything started to blur & shake, loud beeping sounds. Suddenly about an hour or so the machine crashed not sure where but all I could think about was that I had to get out. Despite being damaged I managed to push open the door after pushing twice then, splash. I had landed in the water, disoriented, soon I hear some voices & footsteps coming near me.

Deep voice: "Stand back, all of you, let her breath."(Strong arms cradles me closer to a warm body)"Quick get my brother Zeus, are you alright, can you hear me?"

Woman's voice: "She looks really young but what on earth is that contraption she came with. Jericho, don't touch it. Ugh!"

Crash! Rumble!

Man's voice: "You do know that he won't listen to us besides Zeus. Hey, not again. By the way I believe that she could be a mortal, she sure is pretty. Don't you think, Hades?"

Slowly opening my eyes, blinking twice, I see a man with long black hair, tanned slightly muscular body & bright blue eyes. Wait, is it my imagination or are they really glowing. He had a soft smile which caused my cheeks to heat up a bit.

Hades: "Well, she just has a few bruises no broken bones, luckily."

Deep voice: "Who are you, stranger? Never seen your kind here."

A man with shaggy mane of brown hair, he was also muscular with sea-green eyes. Scowls as the blond man questions me, a tall woman was with him. She had baby blue eyes & auburn hair. She stared at me like I was an insignificant insect.

Man: "Don't you think that it's a bit early to ask her questions, Zeus? She is hardly in a condition for giving us any answers."

Woman: "Don't use that tone on your King, Poseidon. Besides all we know that she could be a spy sent by our enemies."

Hades: "Hera, you may be his consort but you are still our baby sister. True, that she is a stranger but at least let her recover first."

While they were bickering with each other I noticed that the people were wearing ancient Greek clothes. Also the people near me had familiar names of the 'Greek mythology's God's & Goddesses names'. There was Demetria, Athena, Hestia & Ares were there too. I cough a bit which did catch their attention. Oh boy, awkward. Zeus was looking really intimidating by crossing his arms across his broad chest. The brunette woman standing near Hades gave me an encouraging smile.

Demetria: "Hello, little one, please excuse my younger siblings here. I'm Demetria, this is Hades & Poseidon. Our other sister, Hestia. Of course these two are Hera & Zeus."

Poseidon:(Cuts in eagerly)"We welcome you to Olympia, our home. So, who might you be, my dear?"

I blush as he winks at me, Hades who was still holding me, rolls his eyes at his brother flirting with me. Yet I could see his smile, with fondness in his eyes. The people surrounding us were looking at me, waiting.

Sofia:(Clears my throat)"Oh, hello, I'm pleased to meet you & I apologize for barging in like this."(Everyone chuckles beside Zeus & Hera)"And my name is Sofia Faaris & I'm from America."

Poseidon:(Slightly Dazed) "Sofia, wow, such an enchanting name."

Hades: "So, Sofia from America, can you stand up? You only have few bruises, I just need to confirm something."

Slowly with Hades's help I try to stand up when suddenly my left foot twists. I yelp losing my balance then another pair of arms holds me.

Poseidon:(Chuckling)"Whoa there, easy, pretty girl. I admit that I'm handsome yet I didn't expect you to fall for me."

Demetria:(Smacks his arm)"Very funny, brother, Hades, I think she twisted her foot."

I wince as Hades examines my foot, he gently probes like a professional doctor.

Hades:(Grimacing)"You are right, it's a sprain. We better take her inside so I can tend to it & get some clothes for her."

With Poseidon carrying me inside the building I couldn't help but admire the surroundings around me. I pinched myself to see if this was a dream or that I had hit my head or something. Ouch, pinched too hard, it was real, what with my foot hurting & everything. Soon I was taken care of, first I was given a warm bath, my bruises were tended to & then I was wearing a dress of ancient Greek for women. It was made of soft silk, reaching near my calves, a beautiful colour of mauve. It made me feel like a princess, no doubt.
