By: kriddell12 (aka Kat R. this is the username to my other fanfiction account) & moi! Kathleen Elizabeth aka Kat C. , Dauntless, Egyptian magician, demigod daughter of Hestia, Slytherclaw hogwarts witch, caster, whovian, shadowhunter, tribute!
Ch. 1:
I know that Hestia is a maiden goddess. I wasn't born like that. Actually I wasn't BORN at all. But more on that later.
I've lived in Ireland for all of my life until my father sent me to America to stay with my aunt and get a finishing school education.
Well, that's what he told me. I believe he's always known my identity. He probably kept it from me to keep me safe. I'll admit, when I first found out who I was, I was VERY mad at him. But I can't stay angry at my father. Not after what he's done for me and everyone in the village we lived in.
My village is Aldergrove. Aldergrove [Irish: Na Fearnóga 'the Alder (trees)'] is a small Townland in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is within the townland of Seacash and parish of Killead – 6 miles south of Antrim and 18 miles west of Belfast. It is part of the Borough of Antrim.
My father is the wealthiest farmer in our village and everyone knows him. I've been to town a few times in disguise to see the bookseller in the market during the summer. (I was in disguise because I was supposed to be working) And every time my father is mentioned it's always something good. Like " oh farmer McGee is such a generous man" or " farmer McGee really helped our family" or if they want to really praise him, they bring up what he did 15 years ago, two years before I was born.
He was walking to the market when he saw a little boy about 9-10 crying on the side of the road. He calmed the boy down and asked what was wrong. The boy replied that his parents had died when he was a baby and he had been raised by his older sister who was ill. His sister had just died last week, and he wasn't sure where to go or what was going to happen to him. Now my father knew that there was an elderly couple in our village who were looking for a boy to be a companion for them because their house lacked the laughter and joy that a child brings. He brought the boy to them and the couple and their daughter loved him so much that they had their daughter legally adopt him and have him stay with them. He got a great education and moved to London. Last I heard he was a successful banker.
Anyway, so my father thought that having me see the world would help me grow knowledgeably. Thats also why he sent me to Clarions in America. I didn't disagree with him because I hate fighting and arguments, and what girl WOULDN'T want to see the Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge , the Taj Mahal, or any of the other wondrous sights the world has to offer. The odd events didn't happen constantly on those trips, but they happened enough to make me wonder if I was absolutely bonkers. For example, one day while I was traveling to France , I could have sworn I saw two winged lions crossing the fields behind the train tracks. Or the time when I was in Switzerland, I knew a huge man kept following me, I could see him out if the corner of my eye, but when I turned around to ask him what he thought he was doing no one was there. For some unexplainable reason, nothing odd ever seemed to happen in my village. It was like there was something that kept the monsters and people away. But my father decided to send me away from my beloved village to a boarding school in America even though every time I went there something crazy, bad, or unexplainable happened. So two weeks before first term started there my father had me pack my bags and go to New Hampshire where my aunt would take me to Clarions. Joy...
