Hi I'm Nate, Nate Jackson,
and I'm 13.
I'm a son of two demi-gods. One the son of Poseidon, the other daughter of Athena,
and this is my story.
Now you're probably thinking 'if he is the son of 2 demi-gods what is he?' or something like that and I admit I don't properly know all I know is I can kind of control water and I have a high IQ.
Our house was big, for an apartment, with a cliff top view overlooking the sea. Apparently my mother designed it herself being an architect and all. Anyway that's we're I was, at the window looking out of the sea. I Know all about this Greek stuff but it's still hard to believe it when I've heard all about science but I can't say it's a lie when I've seen firsthand my farther control water and the stories seem so real. I was interrupted from my thoughts when a familiar voice called me "Nate!" my mother called "it's time to come to breakfast!" she swung her head around the door and her long blonde hair curved down to her shoulders and her stormy grey eyes aren't too hard to miss. I left the view behind when I went to get breakfast and little did I know that would be the last time I got to look at it. When I got to the table I saw my dad, with his sea green eyes and black hair, talking to my sister Marina Jackson. She was 3 years younger than me and sure she was annoying but she knew a lot more than me In fact she is two grades above her age. I could tell she was explaining something science-like to my dad because he looked really confused. When he saw me walk in he looked at me with pleading eyes and mouthed: help!? I couldn't help but laugh. I took a seat and saw that for breakfast we had blue pancakes. I'm sure you've heard about the whole blue food thing from my dad and it's still going on now. I started to eat but then my mother walked back in and gestured to my dad to come into the other room I didn't think anything of it at the time. After they had left the room a few seconds later the table moved and my drink of milk tipped over and liquid dripped of the side of the table. Then again. Thump! Thump! Thump! Me and my sister exchange looks and then for a brief second time slowed right down and the windows exploded. I fell out of my chair in the worst action hero dive ever. My father ran back in "Get to the car," he told us and he grabbed his pen from the table. I remembering him telling us that his pen was actually a celestial bronze blade but that meant a monster was attacking the house! Sure it had happened before but normally it wouldn't get this close to the apartment. My sister ran into my arms and I grabbed her and ran she had real terror in her eyes. We ran through the doors, jumping over furniture, kicking aside broken glass until we reached the door. "Stay here," I told my sister.
"Why? What are you going to do?" she asked
"Just stay here I'll be like 20 seconds." I ran towards my room and now I regret not cleaning it. Used clothes covered the floor so I kicked my way through them I reached my wardrobe and opened it and of course because I'm a son of two demi-gods I can't just keep clothes in them I had to keep a sword didn't I? I grabbed it my own celestial bronze sword. I know what you're thinking 'why give a sword to a kid?' but don't worry I know what I'm doing, I think, and anyway its celestial bronze it's not like I can use it on humans. I took a few practise swings at my cut up and almost destroyed arrow target. Yes an arrow target I mean it works ok when I'm battering it with a sword. I climbed my way through the rubbish and clothes until I got back to my door and I took one last look at my room. The telly that wasn't a flat screen HD, My wii console, my many action figures that I've long out grew but refuse to throw away and then I ran back to my sister. "You can't fight it!" she insisted and I knew she was right. I haven't had proper training I mean yes I have had a sword fight with my dad and he was teaching me moves but still. "I know," I said "But I would rather have a weapon than be weapon less and an easier target," I ran outside and was hit by the salty smell of the sea and I saw the rich green trees we saw the car and we jumped in but I didn't see our parents anywhere. "Where are they?" my sister asked her eyes shifting from terror to concern. "I don't know" I admitted "but I'm sure they will be here any second remember all the stories they told us they defeat loads of monsters this one won't bother them,"
"I hope you're right," she said
"I know I am," and I was right because about a minute after saying that they come out of the house our mothers stormy eyes full of worry she got in and then a few seconds later so did our dad. He start the engine and we set off no one spoke for a while until my sister said. "What's going on? Where are we going?"
"You have relation to the Poseidon god of the sea and that means you're very powerful and a threat to monsters and since you knew about it, it made your sent stronger. It attracted this monster to us and since the house accommodates three blood relations to the god of the sea it's a much stronger sent," our mother explained
"Then where are we going?" my sister asked again and our farther spoke this time,
"To camp, we're taking you to camp half-blood"
