Prologue:
Every day I have to see my face in the mirror, have to face the stares because of my scar. It runs across my face over my eye and onto my top lip. That scar is the price I pay for saving the world. Oh, wait, I'd better start at the beginning.
My name is Willow, I am a ginger with green eyes and I have a twin called Steganna . I live in Devon/ Cornwall (my mum and dad brought a house in no man's lands). I have a younger sister called Permanent Rose (call her Rose else she'll kill you) aged 9. Me and Stiggy (Steganna) are 12 but I'm half an hour younger than her. So that's me and my life, but one day, that all changed...
Chapter one:
Sundays, boring right? Not this one, 23rd December 2012, Yes, 2 days before Christmas you're thinking, right, well, there was that aspect of it but, really, I remember it for a different reason..
I was baking cookies for after Christingle, the aroma was sickly sweet and v. stuffy then suddenly there was a huge gust of cold wind, the window had blown open. As much as I liked the cool air I had to close the window as it was snowing outside. Then, I heard a small bell behind me, and looking around I saw a golden cat, not yellow, or even yellowy brown but pure gold. Like a flash it ran out the room and up the stairs. I turned the oven off and ran upstairs. I found it in mine and my sisters bed room shaking itself like a dog does to get water out of it's coat. Staring at it was my sister.
Then the cat began to change. The teeth grew shorter as did hair apart from the back, side and top of the cat's head the hair on which grew longer. Ears shrunk nose returned to face and all of a sudden I was looking at a 9 year old girl, not unlike my younger sister. She was wearing Silvery clothes and a had a bow slung over her shoulder. She had long auburn hair and silvery eyes. "I am Artemis goddess of the hunt and the moon, one of your ancestors and now you must come with me." the little girl said.
"Yeah right, and I'm Zeus!" scoffed Steganna
"Yes, you are him, in a way, and me. You two are demi-Gods, the most rare of all, to be precise. You are the descendants of Zeus, Posidon, Athena and myself, You are all of us and now we need your help." Artemis explained.
"OK, what do we do?" I asked being sensible while stiggy was cracking up.
"I mean I don't think she's telling the truth, but what's the harm in playing along." I then whispered into my twins ear.
" You must come, The others await you," Artemis said "follow, to the empire state building!"
