~Chapter 1~
"Athena... wake up!" I opened my eyes tiredly and looked to see who disrupted my wonderful dream... Which I just forgot what it was about. DAMN MY LACK OF MEMORY! "Huh..?" My vision was a bit blurred but then it got straight and I was able to see my mom standing next my bedroom door. "I said to wake up. We have to leave now before we miss the plane." I sat up on my bed and almost fell back on my pillow. I just want to sleep. "Plane? Usually it's a bus we don't want to miss." I finally got myself out of my bed and was now standing. My legs felt like jelly and I couldn't stand up straight. "Athena, now's not the time to make jokes. We really do need to go so we could make it to Aunt Donna. We promised that we would visit her today."
Aunt Donna? Oh yeah, I forgot that it's today. I tried walking but couldn't do it correctly like I usually did. Ok, somethings wrong. I looked at the window and saw that it was still dark. Hmmm... strange. I shot my head to the clock and my eyes widened. "WTH! Mom! It's 4:30 in the morning!" My mom sighed. "Athena, we need to wake up early in order to be able to get ourselves ready in time to leave and catch the plane before it takes off. Stop worring that it's so early." I folded my arms. "I'm not worried that it's 4:30 in the morning or what ever. I'm worried that I didn't get my ten hours of sleep. Now I'm not gonna function well!" My mom just shook her head in surrender. "Just... lets go. Get changed and come down stairs. Breakfast is served. Your brother is already down there and he's usually the lazy one." With that, she left my room which made me all alone. "He's usually the lazy one." I said mocking her. "Lazy is my ass." I walked over to my dresser and got my clothes on. I put a blue shirt with a black sweater and jeans with my Nike shoes. I brushed my hair which at the moment, made me look like a witch, and put it up in a ponytail. Once I was done I went to the bathroom quickly to wash my face and hopefully be able to be more awake. Finally, I headed down to the kitchen.
My brother was the first one to greet me. "S'up sleeping beauty. Dreamed about prince charming?" I rolled my eyes. "Here's a question... Will you ever shut up?" He got himself into a exaggerated thinking pose while I sat on my chair to eat my breakfast. "How's this for you... No." He leaned on his chair and put his hands behind his head. "Sorry, I will not except that. I'm serious... Will you ever just close your mouth and be quiet for once?" He got out of his cool pose and looked at me. "Excuse me, are you deaf? I said loudly and clearly, no. What... Is that not enough for you?" I took a bite of my egg. "No..." He just stared at me with a look that said "shame on you." "Athena, X-avier, enough with all the commotion. We have to hurry." I gazed at my mom. "Yeah I know. Hey um.. where's dad?" She picked up X-avier's plate and put it in the dish washer. As soon as that happened, X-avier was already in the living room watching t.v. Obviously not interested in dad. "He quickly went to the store to buy a few things before we leave." I smirked. "OH! Can I go with him?!" She shook her head. "No you can't and you know it. You're only 10 and too young to be out at this time." I opened my mouth... about to say something until my mom answered me. Already knowing what I was gonna say. "No no and no. Stop asking the same thing. X-avier is only 13 and he's still a bit too young to be outside at this time as well. Can't you get a hint. I keep answering the same thing over and over again." I just turned around and went back to eating my breakfast.
"I'll take a hint... when I'm 60 and can't hear you anymore." I uttured under my breathe. My mom collected my plate and also washed it. I just went to the living room where my brother was and sat on the couch next to him. "Soooo... watcha watching?" He took his eyes away to take a quick glance at me and then back at the t.v. Screen. "Uh... I don't know. Just flipping through the channels to see what there is." I stared at his thumb that kept clicking the same button to switch channels. I knew there wouldn't really be anything interesting at 4:30 in the morning so I just got the book nearest to me and started reading what it said. "Entonces Moisés subió a Jesús y le pregunto: "¿Qué haré con el pueblo querido señor?... Wait.. What the heck am I reading?! This is spanish." I looked at the cover. Ooops.. it's the Holy Bible. I put it down and this time went looking for an english book and not be lazily sitting on the couch. I'm not a couch potato like my brother... well maybe a little.
I then found a perfect book, War of the Worlds. I love this book. It's my most favorite. I went back to sit on the couch and started reading my book. But as I was just about to begin, my dad came inside. "Hey Athena, X-avier, Abarca! I'm back..." I REALLY wanted to say, 'Fuck you dad! I was just about to read a really good book!' But I don't curse and It's just a book. I shouldn't make such a big deal out of it. I went to my dad and hugged him. "Hey dad, good to have you back." He hugged me back and then let me go to go help out my mom with the packings. By the way, Abarca is my mom. Just so you don't get confused. My brother also went to go greet dad but I was too lazy to care about it. Instead, I went to my room and got my own stuff ready. "Hmm, I got my clothes, items, all this other stuff. Yeah I guess I'm ready. Wait..." I looked around on my bed and on the cabinets. "WHERE'S MY PHONE! Oh no... I'm gonna die!" Suddenly, I felt something buzz in my jean pocket. I took it out. "Oh, there you are!" I hugged it. "I'm saved! THANK YOU LORD ALMIGHTY!" I put my phone back in my pocket and was about to take the most hardest journey ever known to human kind... Taking the heavy bags down 10 steps of stairs. Impossible, right? Pray for me... for I may never come back alive.
I was just about to leave when I heard something rustle under my bed. I got on my kness and poked my head under the bed to see what had made the suspicious sound. I was able to make out something black whoosh by. Then I heard an other sound. I shot my head up and looked around. I noticed something at the corner of my eye. But as soon as I turned my head, it was gone. The only thing left was an opened window. I stood up and went walking towards it. There was nothing outside and whatever it was is now gone. I shook my head and closed the window. Maybe I was imaginating. I decided to ignore it and got my bags down the stair. When I finally made it down, I was panting. "Shoot... I need to work out. I can't get these two bags down 10 steps of stairs! That's ridiculous! Even more than my brother!" "Here let me help you out." I scanned at the figure that said that. It was my brother.
He took both of the bags and went walking outside to the car where apperently, our dad was. He might be a nuisance at times and makes a joke out of everything but he DOES care for me and will NEVER let anything happen to me. He's a great brother, more than I could ever ask for. I wouldn't want it any other way. I followed him outside to the car. My dad was checking the time on his phone. "Ok we're all packed up and it's 6:00. Right on time.!" I stared at my dad dementedly. "6 already? Is this how slow we are? Geesh, and I though turtles were suppose to be slow." "Just get in the car, Athena." I obeyed his command and closed the door behind me. My brother soon sat next to me and immediately took out his phone and started playing some sort of Zombie game. My mom was already in the car and my dad got in next to her in the driver's seat. "You ready guys?" she asked. "Uh... yeah." She smiled and then looked at X-avier. "How about you, X-avier?" "Huh?" He didn't even take his head out of th game. I mentally face palmed.
"X-avier?" She shook him and he still didn't take his head out of the game. Instead, he said while still playing. "WAIT! NOOOOO! DIE YOU ASSHOLE!" This time I facepalmed for real. My mom looked annoyed by now. "X-avier, stop cussing at the zombie! Any you know you're not supposed to curse." He kept his head down, not caring a thing about what's going on around him. My mom signaled my dad to just start driving. He did and we soon hit the road. My mom was just about to do something else but I took in charge of that. I took his phone and opened up the window, making it look like I was gonna throw it out. His first reaction was... um for me, it's perfectly normal. "NO YOU FUCKER! GIVE ME IT BACK! I'M ABOUT TO DIE!" My mom looked more annoyed now that he disobeyed what she said earlier. Apperently he didn't listen to a word she said. I faced my mom. "Mom, I got this." With that, she got back on her seat talking to my dad. Atfer that, I looked back at my brother. "If you want it then start openning your ears and listen to what the world has to say!" He looked at me in irritation. "Or what?!" I grinned maliciously. "Or I'll drop your phone out the window and you'll never see it again!" He scoffed. "You're bluffing." I put on a serious face. "Dude, you've known me my whole life! Now tell me... am I now?" His face turned a bit nervous. "Well no but... give me it jerk!" I shook my head. "Pay up first." He groaned. "FINE! I'm sorry and could you PLEASE give me my phone back!?"
I stayed there and waited for a while. He stretched his hand out towards me. "Well? Give me it." I waited a few more seconds and then the sound of munching and a Game over was heard. I beamed in my accomplishment. X-avier just brought both of his hands to his face and fell backwards in anger. I shoved the phone in his face. "There... take it now." He took his hands out of his face and rapidly yanked it out of my hands. "Thanks for nothing. I was SO close to beating it! It took me two days. TWO DAYS! I've done soo many stuff for you because I actaully have a heart that cares and instead you-" I covered his mouth. "Would you do the world a favor and shut up! How many times do I have to tell you. Yes I care but you did deserve it. Sorry, OK?" I took my hand off and looked out the window for my enjoyment.
"Yeah whatever." He went back into the game. I rolled my eyes at his immaturity. He's so talkative and into video games more than me! But I love him just like that. I caught a quick glimpse at him and then smiled. It's true, I do really care and love him. And I don't want him to change at all! This trip will take a while and I'm gonna get bored soon. What should I do? Look at cars passing by? Eh.. best choice I got. I looked everywhere outside the window. Red car... green car.. silver car with a messed up bump. That car is gonna need a repair. After a while of looking at cars, which was surprisingly entertaining, I overheard a conversation between my parents. I didn't hear it from the beginning though.
Mom: Did the old man tell you the same thing?
Dad: Yeah... but that was a 3 years ago. Ok look.. Stop worrying. I don't know why you had to bring this whole topic up.
Mom: It's just I care for my duaghter and as a mother I need to do stuff like this. *sigh* I just wish what the old man said wasn't real or at least not occurr to us.
Dad: I know but... that's the so called destiny thing, whatever he said. I tried to not pay much attention to it. I suggest you ignore it too.
Mom: Yeah... Ok, I guess.
What are they talking about and what does it have to do with me? I ignored them the rest of the way so that I wouldn't get so caught up and worry myself. BACK TO THE CARS! Blue car... yellow car... another green car... white car... black car... gray car coming staright towards us in high speed... purple c... Wait... WHAT! "DAD! CAR!" Everything happened in a flash. My brother lifted his head up from the game.. My mom's eyes widened.. my dad tried turning the wheel... and I curled myslef up into a ball and used my arms as a defense, covering myself. Everything soon turned bright and a loud crash was able to be heard from miles away.
AN: OMG! That is some way to end a chapter. Well for me it is. Sorry for the language. I don't curse but in this story, it will have some of those words so that it could fit with the characters and their personality. Cuz you know... There are people like that in the world. It's just logical Ok? TAKE IT LIKE A MAN! Sooo, did you like it? Was it good? Plz review and tell me what you think! I will greatly appreciate it! Now yes I know... What am I doing writing a new fanfic when a few of you guys are still waiting for the other chapter in my other fanfic? Don't worry! I'm working on it. It's just taking me some time and I'm trying to put in a little pozaaazzz! I'll have it up in a bit! I'll TRY to put it up ASAP! But it depends since I'm still working on my boring responsibilities! I promise you though... as soon as summer hits... I WILL BE UPDATING ABOUT EVERY 4-5 DAYS! I mean.. it's vaca! VACATION TIME! I'll have plenty of time to work on my chapters and stories! But that doesn't mean I won't have any important work to attend to. I'm busy EVEN WITHOUT school. You know how it goes... the older you get.. the more the work piles up in your life. Well... I just want to know if you guyz liked this fanfic and if it's AT LEAST ok. It will sure pump me up. I was really excited to do this. :P I also have to say something important. In this fanfic... It will take a while until Athena, my main character, finally meets the ninja. So she won't be meeting them until like 5-6 chapters away from here. Don't get mad at me if all you wanted was to see the, AWESOMELY AMAZING NINJA KNOWN TO MAN KIND, but the problem is... If I don't start from the beginning, you guys wouldn't really understand a thing of what's going on or what Athena's talking about. So I'm doing this for you guys! I'll try updating frequently and I have a question... (I asked this question to vamps already... ) I felt like saying that OK! XD
Who do you like better so far? X-avier or Athena?
You don't have to answer but just think about it if you can. :P Besides that... SAYONARA! TTFN! XD
