First Chapter

{Jasper}

My name is Jasper Grace. That is all of the introduction that I have time for at the moment.

I was being chased by a few monsters. They were actual monsters. But, hey, that's all in the life of a special. My parents call me and my sister 'specials' because we're demigods with two demigod parents. We aren't normal demigods, we're special.

I whipped out my sword and got rid of two of the horde of telkhines that we following me. I just had to walk into a telkhine horde, didn't I? Sometimes, I can be a little annoying for my taste. No judging, stop the judging!

Anyway, after destroying two telkhines, I turned back around and ran. I felt a veil type thing slide over me and then break. A bright blue light flashed overhead and I turned to look at the telkhines. They looked at where the light had vanished and then ran away, whining.

My heart started racing as I thought about why those monsters ran. I stood up on high alert. A few teenagers started walking toward me, but I put my sword out in a way that said, "Come closer, and I'll stab you somewhere."

A girl that looked like she was fifteen or something shrieked. It was a loud and long shriek that lasted about five seconds. Then she stopped and looked at me. Slowly, she took one step forward. I was about to throw my sword at her arm when I felt someone's hand on my other arm. I grabbed the hand and flipped them – or, well, her.

Most of the gathered crowd gasped. Apparently this hadn't ever or often happened. The girl stood up and looked me in the eyes. She wasn't afraid of me, even though she should be.

The crowd was murmuring a lot. I caught phrases like, "The nerve!" and "He's a dead man" and "Should we call her parents?"

"Who are you? Are you okay?" she, very calmly, asked me.

I snarled at her and glared. "I won't answer your questions, monster. What are you, anyway?"

"Pardon me?"

My eyes rolled at her act of innocence. "You know what kind of monster are you?"

"I'm not a –"

"Save the act, missy. I know what you are."

She looked me in the eyes again for longer. Her greenish-gray eyes bore into mine and I felt like she could read anything that I thought. Cut to the chase, Monster! I thought.

She stared me down. "I'll tell you about us and we won't hurt you. We only want to help. Do you know who your godly parent is?"

This girl was smart. She knew about demigods and gods. I stared her down and lifted my sword.

"I'll listen, but you have to beat me in a fight. No powers, if you have them," I told her.

She grimaced. "I'll….try my best to not use my powers."

I didn't know what that meant, but I didn't want to ask. I was about to ask where her sword was when she reached up to remove one of her rings.

"Shields?" she asked. I nodded.

Removing a piece of my sword that expanded into a shield, I got into a stance to fight. She was already ready to fight me. I charged first, even though I really didn't want to. She blocked every blow and got in a few of her own. After a while, we were tied. I was angry that she could beat me. No one had ever beaten me at sword fighting before.

Finally she put her hand up in a way of saying time-out. I looked at her, slightly proud that she had needed the time-out before I had. A thick layer of sweat beaded on my forehead and back. She wasn't even breathing heavily. She smirked at me.

"You looked like you needed a break. Do you have a name, demigod?" she asked me.

I turned to look at her. "My name is Jasper." Why did I say that!?

Before I could continue, I felt a heat above my head. I looked up. Two symbols were glowing above me. A yellow lightning bolt and a pink dove. My grandparents' symbols were floating above my head. I was about to explain when the girl put her hand up and screamed.

It was a piercing scream that made me cover my ears. Suddenly, people appeared all around me. About twenty kids and fifteen adults stood before me, but behind the girl. I stood in a stance ready to defend myself. The girl looked at me reassuringly.

"Look here, we've gotten another Special. This is the grandson of Zeus and Aphrodite, a good mix. He's a good fighter, too. Do you know his parents?" she was addressing the group of people.

One of the men opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, three figures appeared in the gap between me and the group of people. My parents and sister were here, great!
