A Monster Attacks My House
Clarisse
As I went on the battle tank back to my house from camp, a tiny mischievous smile appeared on the window. Mirroring to my character, I screamed. My dad chewed me out since he was right beside me.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of Kobalos." Ares muttered.
"Koalas? No, that was a scary little… goblin I suppose." I said.
"So, yes. You are afraid of the sprite." Ares told me.
"I'm not afraid of any thing!" I shouted.
"Don't worry. They robbed Heracles while he slept. Well, before he captured them and released them upon pity." Ares said.
"I'm still not afraid." I chided.
"Aye, I hate the fact that children I sire have their fatal flaw as hubris." Ares sighed.
"I don't have hummus! I don't even like spices!" I shouted.
"That's hubris, child. It means great pride. They aren't afraid of anything, so they say. Even I sometimes show symptoms of it." Ares mouthed.
Later…
I finally set my stuff on the kitchen table. My mom had her butt parked on the couch in the living room. I sat next to her.
"You know, me and Dad had a talk about a certain creature." I said.
"Why were you talking about me!" She yelled.
Me and my mom had sort of an unstable relationship. It's gotten to the point where if I ever say something totally innocent, she snaps.
"Even though I wouldn't let your father..." Mom got interrupted.
"Mom, we were talking about Kobalos." I said.
"Oh. Why didn't you just say so, honey?" Mom asked.
"I wanted you to guess. But anyways, I saw Kobalos."
