Chapter 17: Nothing Else We Can Do
Artemis Oh God this is bad. And when I say bad I don’t mean Ash scratched up the couch bad, I mean total destruction bad. Ok, maybe that’s a little exaggerated but you know what I mean.
It all started a week ago. Athena found out that Aphrodite’s doll finally gained “life” and was helping her. She overheard them talking, and apparently we all have powers we never knew about. Those goddesses we were named after? Yeah, we are the sim versions of them.
Aphrodite’s doll is named Ares, after the god of war. That is not someone you want to have on your bad side. He explained to Aphrodite that we are all reincarnations of the gods, which means me and my sisters plus our dolls. We all have their powers, even though they are very dim right now because we are only children. But our dolls don’t have any powers right now because they are not fully sims. Ares insisted that she had to get the potion to turn him real so that they could start using their powers together to be in control of everything they could at this age.
Well after hearing this, Athena and I both realized that we had more power than we knew about. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and battle. Athena has always been super smart but now I’ve realized whenever there is some type of fight, be it a play fight or a physical one at school, what she wants to happen will happen. Artemis is the goddess of the hunt and has a special connection with animals and doesn’t get with boys. I’m only a kid, so I don’t know about the boy part. But I hadn’t really noticed until now that it isn’t exactly natural to become friends with a wild horse the moment you meet it.
But if Aphrodite
and Ares get in control, things could go bad. Once she is a teenager, Aphrodite could seduce people into doing what she wanted them to do, and even now she is starting to be able to change her appearance more and more at will. Ares said he’s be in control of all weapons and that he’d be able to determine the outcome of wars, which is even worse than the battle thing Athena can do.
However, we have Athena’s doll Zeus and my doll Apollo on our side. Apollo is great at archery (just like me!) and is the god of medicine which could come in handy. He also has something going on with music and poetry, but I’m not exactly sure how that will help. But Zeus is the main attraction. He is king of all gods, and would be able to have power over Ares and Aphrodite in order to stop them.
So Athena worked whatever time she had outside of sim needs and school working on the potion. If she could make two for Zeus and Apollo, we could stop this thing before it started.
Finally, she made it yesterday. It was perfect, and she couldn’t wait to put it on Zeus. The problem was the potion would only work at a full moon. Don’t ask me why. The month has just started though, so we would have to wait. Athena hid it in a chest from China, and made sure it was locked tight. We thought for sure that we had it covered.
But we didn’t.
Ares had been watching us the whole time, and just because he doesn’t have his powers doesn’t mean he can’t pick locks. Now the potion is with the evil side, and there isn’t anything we can do about it. Aphrodite put it in some secret compartment in her room, with alarms around it so that if we try to steal it then the whole house will know and Mom and Dad will think we are thieves. There’s no way we could ever tell them, they’d never believe us.
And if you think they already know just because I’m writing this, then you’re wrong. You obviously didn’t notice that I’m writing in my own private journal that I bought so I could finally just let everything out.
Sorry if I was a bit rude there, it’s just very stressful having to deal with this. I don’t know what to do; our only hope is that Athena can make another potion by the full moon. And believe me, she’s trying.
