Chapter 1
I was walking home from school in the heat of Puente Antiguo, New Mexico. I stopped to get a cup of coffee from 7-Eleven. When I stepped out I almost ran into a tall man.
"Oh I'm sorry." I quickly apologized stepping out of his way. I looked up to see him staring at me inquisitively.
"You look oddly familiar." The tall man said. He had blue eyes that studied me looking for a clue of who I was.
"Right." I replied before fixing my backpack and walking away. When I got him my little black dog my mom named, Fenrir, was waiting at the door.
"Welcome home Soren!" my mom, Phoebe called.
"Hi Mom!" I replied as I walked into the kitchen.
"How was school?" Mom asked. I tossed my backpack on the table and sat down.
"Boring as always." I replied pulling out my math book and a piece of notebook paper.
"Soren I have something for you." Mom said walking out of the room to go get it. I looked down at Fenrir as he sat at the foot of my chair.
"What? Do YOU want to do my homework?" I asked. Fenrir's tail started to wag. "Okay suit yourself. I set my book down on the floor with my paper and pencil. I then sat back and stared at Fenrir. He stood up and picked up the pencil with his teeth then actually, I swear to God, worked on my homework. My mouth dropped open.
"I found it Soren." Mom announced coming back into the kitchen.
"Mom Fenrir is doing my homework." I told her.
"That's nice." Mom dismissed it. "Your father, when he left us when you were a baby, left with the sole request that I give you this necklace when you turned fourteen."
"Mom…I'm fifteen." I said unamused.
"Hey be happy I even found it." Mom snapped taking a necklace out of a box. "It's Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir." She put the necklace around my neck and attached it.
"It's pretty Mom." I said.
"I'm glad you like it." She smiled at me. "There's going to be a storm tonight. That necklace will keep you safe."
"Sweet." I said as I felt Fenrir nudge my foot. I looked and he had FINISHED the homework. "Mom Fenrir finished my homework for me."
"Isn't that nice." Mom said as I gathered my things. I threw my books back into my backpack as a loud boom of thunder erupted in the sky. I smiled and ran up to my room. I got changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt then I climbed out onto the roof over the porch of my house. I sat there as the rain started to come down harder. Then there was boom of thunder and a flash of lightening and I jumped in the combination of fear and excitement. I smiled and watched the storm continue to go on as I fell asleep.
