The child came out of nowhere, maybe if she wasn’t so focused on something else, and with her head so full, she would have been able to see her son coming. Wait, her son? What was he doing in there? And if he was there, then it meant that… Autumn, her voice hit her ears, and her jaw dropped. Was she dreaming? She remembered getting out of bed, and going to the coffee shop, but she didn’t doubt anything anymore, maybe it was an illusion, “How are you real? You can’t be…” she would have been far happier to see them, if it wasn’t for the fact that the last time that she saw the two of them, was when she was already planning to leave without saying goodbye. She was able to hide it really well, but inside, she was crying, she was devastated. If it wasn’t for the fact that the demigods were in danger, how people were kidnapping them, she wouldn’t ever had left. She didn’t leave because she stopped loving them, she didn’t, she would always love them, “How… Why… Why did you move here?” he felt so real, her arms were wrapped around the boy, and he didn’t seem to be just an illusion, everything felt as real as possible. Suddenly, what she did, seemed to have been pointless, because if either one of them were demigods, then what was the point of her leaving?

Gods, this can’t be real. This has to be a dream. How many times has the older woman done so? Dream of a similar moment, of a similar situation? How many times has she imagined something like this? Only she had lost hope. She had lost hope of ever seeing Scarlett again. Realization of having to raise their son by herself and to spend the rest of her life alone sweeping in. The blonde couldn’t envision loving someone else the way she had with the brunette. So the sudden divorce completely rocked her entire world. “You left us...” Her voice came out in a shaky whisper. Jackson was too busy cuddling his mommy while Autumn instead stood before the table, her body shaking while tears threatened to spill. She couldn’t remember where they were or if anyone else was with them. All she could do was focus on her ex’s face and how all that pain from months ago came back all of the sudden. “Y-You left us... without even saying a proper good bye... just a simple note... just those papers...” She shook her head. No proper good byes, no proper hellos. Not even an explanation for why she did what she did. Autumn felt herself wanting to grab Jackson and take him away. But she couldn’t. She couldn’t just rip him away from his mother. Even though she ripped herself away first. “My other mother told me about this place- Hestia. Do I really need to ask how you’re here or is your presence self-explanatory enough?” She was a demigod. They both were. Gods, this was... No words could describe this. Frustrating, perhaps. Hurtful, most definitely. Heartbreaking? Absolutely. “How could you?! How could you just... j-just, just leave like that?! How could you do that to us?! To him?! Do you not realized how confused he was?! How I had to constantly make up excuses to him about where you were and not being able to tell him when or if you’re coming back?! Six months, Scarlett! Six freaking months! He needed you! I needed you! We needed you, Scar! And you left us!”

Chloe gaped, digesting what she had just heard. She understood what the words meant, but she still had trouble making sense of them. “Uhm, I’m sorry. What do you mean you’re my big sister? Mother already didn’t mention one big sister. You don’t happen to be in cahoots with HJ, do you? Because nobody told me about her either, but, uhm, it’s so nice to meet you, and I’d love if you and your son could come to the party.” She was not about to uninvite someone because they were family. Even if they were confusing family. She really wished her mother would stay in better touch with her like when she had been a little kid. It was not like she did not love her mother very much, but she did not know why she had to be the only one in the dark.

She winced slightly at her words. Ooookay, not exactly the reaction she was hoping for. To be fair though, she didn’t exactly ease her in with the news. “Sorry- I’ve only known about you for a short while now and just, didn’t want to waste any more time. I’ve already missed 26 years, I really don’t want to miss any more.” Autumn smiled softly. She gently shook her head. “No, I’m not. I haven’t even met her yet, unfortunately. Ma... she didn’t tell me about you guys until recently.” Which was frustrating. She was close to her mother, always have been. As far as she knows, she was the goddess’s eldest child. So not being told about her two younger sisters until now... it was irritating, quite frankly. Yet, she was trying to be forgiving. The damage was already done; Now she just wanted to meet Chloe and HJ and spend time with them. “I’m sorry, I- can we try this again? Please? I just got excited when I realized that it was you.”

As a detective, she barely had any time for anything but to investigate the disappearing cases lately, not that it was her career’s fault exactly, as she could stop after her shift ended, which was dictated by her when, since she was her own boss, but she didn’t. The previous night, she spent looking at the pile of files about the demigods that were nowhere to be found, so she barely had any sleep, which was why, she was ordering her second cup of latte, she needed the caffeine, “Gods bless the person that created coffee.” @icariastarters​

Five months. Almost six. You know... She didn’t sign those damn papers for the longest time. Refused to. Autumn truly believed that Scarlett would come back, that she would show up on the front porch of their house, pleading in her eyes, and apologies on her lips. And the older woman would have forgiveness in her own, arms wide open to pull her in for a hug, with ‘I love you’ ready on her lips. Seconds turn to minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days, days into weeks, and suddenly within a blink of an eye, it had been months. Autumn finally signed those papers before heading to Icaria, hope all lost over ever seeing her wife- well, her ex-wife, again. At the coffee shop with Jackson, the two year old holding her hand while she scanned the menu, her heart stopped the second the little boy cried out ‘Mommy!’ No... No, that couldn’t be true. “Jackie, what’re you-...?” He yanked out of her grasp and ran, heading straight to the young brunette and hugging her tightly. All Autumn could do was stand and stare. Mouth gaped and eyes wide with tears pulling in, she forgotten how to breathe. Her heart stopped beating. Ghosts aren’t real, right? But children can’t hug ghosts either... Oh my gods. “S-Scarlett?” she whimpered. She couldn’t remember how to breathe.

@icariastarters​ - open to anyone

“Can you believe it’s almost my twenty-seventh birthday? Would you like to come to my birthday party?” Rubbing at her neck and smiling hopefully, Chloe added, “I- ah- It’s okay if you don’t want to go. I understand completely. But- I- really hope that you can make it.” It probably did not hurt case that her whole body language and facial expression were pleading and pouty. If she could have everyone on the entire isle (dear friends, acquaintances, strangers and wonderful children all included) come to her birthday, then everything might be a little bit closer to all right. Holding out an invitation with her right hand, Chloe hoped that the other person would take it.

“Really? Mine too! Well, not for another two months, but yeah. Happy early birthday!” Wait, was this Chloe? Judging from Hestia’s descriptions of her sisters, the young girl seemed a lot like the Chloe her mother told her about. “No no, I would love to! My son and I are new to the island and it could help us make some more friends and meet more people. Besides...” Taking the invitation and glancing at it, her smile only grew. Autumn glanced back up at the girl, eyes twinkling happily. It was her. It was actually, really, truly her. “What kind of a big sister would I be if I missed another birthday of yours? I’m not sure if mom has told ya about me, but I’m Autumn. And I owe you twenty-six other birthdays.”

meet autumn!

( MINKA KELLY, CIS-FEMALE, SHE/HER ) ⌇ have you seen AUTUMN HOLLY around icaria? they are the THIRTY-SEVEN year old child of HESTIA. they remind me of PUMPKIN SPICE HOT CHOCOLATE WITH CINNAMON, A CHILD’S LAUGHTER, AND MULTICOLOUR FALL LEAVES. They’ve been on the island for TWO WEEKS.

Autumn always knew that she was a demigod. Her mothers, Brietta Holly and Hestia, never kept that from her. And considering who her godly parent was, she has always been incredibly proud. Autumn grew up in a small community of demigods and their mortal parents near Gatlinburg in Tennessee, never having to fear of exposing herself and who/what she is. While she loved the community and especially her mother Brie, she knew that she wanted to see more of the world. And so, she left for Boston at nineteen to attend college to first get her business degree and then to attend culinary school.

At first, it was quite a culture shock for her. The then-nineteen year old initially stayed in her dorm room the first two weeks and had been a bit scared of the large city. Fortunately, Hestia had been able to talk to her and gave her courage. It wasn’t long until she was more so out of the dorm instead of in, always being in class or with her friends or at work. Autumn adapted quickly to life in New England and years later, at the age of 25, she opened up her own restaurant: Oikos Hearth, in honor of her mother. With the family consisting of comfort food, especially Southern, it soon became a huge hit in the neighborhood of Somerville. Autumn was a busy woman but gods, she was happy. And soon enough that two years later, her happiness would only grow. All thanks to a woman by the name of Scarlett Allen.

Having been in a few relationships before, the Southern belle fell hard and fast for her. She would find herself gushing about her with her mothers, truly believing that she could be the One. And when they ended up getting married three years later, it had only confirmed it even more. Every day for the past ten years, she has fallen more and more in love with the younger woman. When they finally took the next big step and adopted their son, Jackson, she knew that she had a perfect life. Married to the love of her life, an adorable child, a booming business, living in the most perfect place in the world: what more could she have wanted? Truly, nothing could ruin her happiness.

Or... so she thought. The day Scarlett left, Autumn had felt a part of her disappear. It had shattered her heart when she saw the divorce papers and that heartbreaking note. It was almost as if Scarlett Allen had been a ghost and to explain to Jackson where his mommy went... She couldn’t answer him. Those couple of months there had been a struggle mentally and emotionally. The only reason she’d been able to even get out of bed was because of her son, even though she had to constantly keep a brave face for him. But once the two year old was asleep in bed, Autumn finally allowed herself to cry and share her sorrow. Her mothers and friends were all supporting, all confused as well as to why Scarlett just left like that. And her note had only left them all even more confused.

Eventually, Hestia reminded Autumn of the island Icaria. While in Boston the past almost twenty years, she had kept her identity a secret. She’d been fortunate to find a few other demigods, but overall, no one knew. Not even Scarlett, whom she believed to have been a normal human. With them having been closed to their ten year anniversary, Autumn had been planning to tell her. She believed that it was finally time to do so and she trusted her, more than anyone. Having lost that opportunity shattered her. And so, with the promise of another community of demigods actually within Greece, Autumn Holly took the goddess’s advice. She has spent the past two weeks moving in, preparing the new location of Oikos Hearth, and even adopted three wonderful older dogs: Cinnamon, a corgi; Vanilla, an Australian Shepherd; and Pumpkin, a Saint Bernard. 

While her heart is still heavy and there are still some bad days, Autumn is looking forward to this new start with her son. It’s not easy being a newly divorcee, but as long as she has her family and is able to make some new friends, she’s sure things will eventually get better. At least, she hopes so.

Was there really anything that she could do to help him? There was just one thing that would actually bring up his mood, and that was having his best friend back at home again. He knew that Hero couldn’t do that, don’t get him wrong though, he wasn’t blaming her, he knew that if she could, she would bring her back, “I don’t know if there’s anything you can do to help me,” he admitted, he knew that she wouldn’t like that information, as he knew that she was probably desperate to make him feel better, but it was the truth, “Maybe we could just do something to distract me, or at least try to take my mind off it, which seems impossible.”

Her heart broke. Too much has happened and she can’t imagine what could happen next. Who could vanish next and what could finally, fully break him. Amelia disappearing could possibly do that, maybe hers as well. But she tried so hard not to think about that. “M-Maybe we can watch a movie? And I can hold you? It’s not... It isn’t much... But it’s all I got right now and I’m so sorry.” Typically when she was sad, he would hold her while they watched a movie. This was... nowhere near as ‘simple’ as those other times and was much, much worse. But it was all she got right now. And Hero just wanted to try to do something, anything, that could potentially help. Even just a little bit.
