Hello i'm back. i had to redo this story. but its back up. i'll try too update soonies. I hope that you all love it. see you at the bottom.

Disclaimer: i dont own this story. wish i did but i'm not that cool too.

"What the world Ma… you're taking his side again. But I'm your daughter for crying out loud!" I yelled at my mother. This was the fifth fight that she and I have gotten into about her abusive boyfriend.

"Sweetheart, I'm not taking anyone's side. You know that." My mom Keri Belikov said. She never gets mad when I get kicked out of really expensive private schools every year. She would just say, 'we'll have better luck next year', but we never do.

"So this month's boy toy is… Bruce the ugly Moose. All he ever does is sit on our couch. Play freaking poker and drink dang beer all day. Ma you could be with some one way better than this thing. This is the third time that he has hit me. And all you do is and I quote 'Calm down honey everything is gonna be alright' well news flash it's not going to be alright Ma."

My mom looked really hurt. She knows that I'm right. We have this argument mostly every week, but she just lets him come on back.

"Girl shut up and listen to your mamma." Bruce said from the couch.

"Go to Hades dumb butt." I muttered under my breath.

"Sierra Apollo Belikov!" my mother said with pleading eyes.

"Wha-" I started.

But it was too late; Bruce came charging at me like he was a bull. He pushed my mother out of the way to get to me. She hit her head on sun model that I made when I was ten.

"What did you say to me little girl?" he asked.

I looked at my mother's fragile body before I answered. "I said go to Hades okay." I said looking right into his eyes. "Ma are you alright?" I asked while she was getting up.

"Yeah, I guess. My head hurts a little bit, but I'll be fine in a few hours." She said walking into the kitchen to get a teylon.

It felt like Bruce was shooting daggers at me from his eyes.

I told my mom that I was going over my best friend Melissa's house and that I'll be back around ten.

"Hey Mel." I said while walking into her room.

"Whatca ya doin' for the rest of the day?" Melissa asked without looking at me.

"Well I'm gonna be over here till, like, ten. I just had to get out of the house." I told her.

"Bruce the ugly Moose again?" she asked.

"It's so weird, it's like you can read my mind or something."

"Well that's what best friends are for. Right?" she asked finally looking up at me.

Melissa and I have been best friends since the school year started. She was getting picked on and I helped her out.

"Hey I have the best idea ever." Mel said.

"Should I be afraid right now?" I asked trying to keep a straight face.

"I don't think so. Anyways' how about we go to this really awesome Greek mythology store."

"Why you so obsessed with Greek? Girl I wanna know!" I sang my own version of Mariah Carey's hit song Obsessed.

"I don't know. I just am." She told me.

"Well let's get going then." I said while walking out of the room.

When we finally got to the Greek store, I was amazed. The store was full of Greek things, but it still looked like a regular store.

"Wow, this place is amazing. So this must be where you got the book with all those Greek gods and goddess?" I asked her.

"Yeah. I thought you didn't read it." She said.

"Well, I really just went to the part about that guy that sings. What was his name again?" I asked her.

"Apollo."

"Yeah, I just read the part about him. It was good."

"Oh. Well I think that you should check out his part of the store. It's huge! Come on." She said pulling my arm.

I was really liking this store.

I was so into the Apollo things that I wasn't paying attention to the people around me.

"Whoa, watch were you're going freak." The girl I bumped into said.

"Sorry, oh wait a minute I'm not really sorry. Freak!" I spat at the girl.

"What did you just say to me?" the girl asked.

"Well if you're hard at hearing I said that I'm not really sorry for bumping into you. Did you get it the second time around?" I said with a smirk on my face.

The girl skin started to turn a chalky white color. Then her legs were changing, one was a donkey leg and the other an automaton. Then her blonde hair turned into a raging fire.

She starts to sniff the air, and then all of a sudden she starts to scream her head off.

"You're really crazy you know." I told the thing… person… it.

I started to turn around to fine Melissa, but the it/thing grabbed my shoulder.

"Get your ugly half-blood butt back over here." The it/thing yelled.

"No, you get your ugly it/thing hands off of me." I yelled back.

When I did that it/thing flipped out on me even more. But before she could tear me into tiny little pieces, Melissa came charging at her with a huge dagger. After she stabbed it in the back the it/thing burst into flames.

"Do you have any idea of what that was?" she asked me.

"Um, what do you think? NO!" I said back.

"Well that was an empousa. You don't want to mess with them or they show their true forms." Melissa informed me.

"Okay. What was that empousa talking about?" I asked her.

"About what?"

"About being a half-blood." I said confused.

"I'll tell you on the way back to your apartment. But for now let's get out of here before something else happens." Mel said walking towards the exit.

When we got back to my apartment around nine twenty, Bruce wasn't home.

"What happened to you Sierra?" my mother asked.

i hope that ya'll loved it. now do me a favor and press the little green button. love ya!
