This is a new joint story i'm writing with arielkatze and possibly another author. arielkatze had the idea after we saw the new percy Jackson movie for my birthday. She's already posted the prologue and 1st chapter, but I was struggling with my prologue. I'd already had a main character, I just couldn't figure out what to do.
Anyways, here's the prologue. Let meknow what you guys think please!
Prologue
Ever had the feeling that you were different from everyone else? I don't mean like appearance or personality wise. I mean like you could do things other people couldn't? Well that's what happened to me.
I grew up as a normal girl named Maxine Taylor, though I prefer Max. I grew up with two sisters, one 5 years older, the other 7 years younger, and our mother, Mary. Our father had disappeared a couple of months after my younger sister, Alexandra, or Alex, was born. I was 7 at the time, my older sister, Jackie, was 12. Several years after he disappeared, Alex only had vague memories of him, like you would expect from her having been a 2 month old infant when he vanished.
Of course, 12 was the age I was when things began getting weird. I was running, like an idiot, to my pool when I slipped and fell. I don't remember much because I think I hit my head on the side, but when I became aware again, my mother and younger sister were eyeing me like there was something wrong. Jackie however, looked like she knew something but I never found out what at the time. Turned out I was under the water for several minutes before someone found me. When I came back to the surface, I was perfectly fine, didn't gasp for air or anything and I wasn't even wet.
This, dear readers, is the story of how I discovered who I am: Maxine Robin Taylor, second born daughter of Poseidon.
So how was it? Worth continuing? Though honestly, i'm going to continue this either way.
