Enjoy my latest fanfic and please review!
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or Mega Blocks (reference)
"Brad, Colin, time for bed." Allen McKay told his 3 and 5-year-old son. The family of 5 was sitting in the living room after dinner talking about many things.
"But dad!" The boys whined. The children were on the floor playing with Mega Blocks.
"Your father is right boys, put your blocks away in the toy chest and then head upstairs to wash up. I will be up there in a bit to tuck you in." Jesse McKay sternly told the boys. Both children groan and put the toys away in the blue and red toy chest. Then raced each other up the stairs. Once the boys were out of sight Jesse excused herself to the other room to do the dishes from dinner.
"Dad what's going on?" Indira asked with concern. Indira was sitting on a black leather chair, she hated it but her dad and step-mom insisted that she sit there because there was nowhere else to sit and they didn't want her to sit on the floor.
"Honey, we're gonna talk about your mom." Her father told her gently.
Indira's mood shifted from concern to curiosity, her eyes flamed yellow. "I thought she died?"
"Well that was a little white lie on my part. Come here." He beckoned her over to the couch. She got up from the dreary chair and made her way to the couch. She sat next to her dad and he pulled her into him. Allen kissed Indira on the crown of her head before continuing. "Sweetheart, your mother, well there is no easy way to say this, but your mom is a goddess."
"A goddess?" Her eyes now as bright as the sun.
"Yeah, Iris, goddess of rainbows, messenger of the gods. I don't know how you haven't noticed your eyes and hair changing colors. At the moment your eyes are bright yellow instead of their normal blue!"
"L-like the Greek goddess?"
"Yes, I know this is hard, but monsters have started to come more and more now and I need to give you a dagger to protect yourself. Your mother also wanted your go to camp, but I don't think I could let you go…"
"Camp?"
"There is a camp, with all your cousins, on the godly side of course, and they train you to fight and your siblings are there, but I don't want you to. I don't know what I would do without you here, I 'd miss you so much."
"Wait you have more kids?"
"No, no sweetheart. Your mother does, you many siblings. I want you to keep this." He handed her a dagger. It had a rainbow handle with a sharp bronze blade, "Strike me."
"What?!" Her eyes blazing red as well as her hair turning from blonde to yellow to red, her unawareness.
"Come on, you can do it!"
"Dad no." She was almost in tears, what kind of sick joke was this. Also, unaware to her the couch was turning red around her. Her father noticing this kept going, but doing a little explanation.
"It won't hurt me, I am only a human. That blade will only hurt demi-gods and monsters. But me I am invincible!"
She giggled, "O-ok dad." She sliced the blade into his hand he whined in agony. "Dad I am so sorry!" Half the room turned a light orange in concern.
"Beautiful, it's ok, just a joke." He assured her. The room turned back to normal, everything except her eyes. "Ok I think it is time you also went to bed. I assume you will want to know more in the morning?" She nodded, "Ok you can think up questions while you get ready for bed. I will tuck you in in a bit."
Jesse walked down the stairs, "The boys are asleep. Don't wake them Indira." She sneered, she was tempted to make her life miserable for the moment, but her Allen was sitting with her on the couch after telling her some news that didn't concern her. She wanted to know but he said one word, "Mother." She wanted to know so badly, but she knew she could coax it out of him later.
"Allen, honey can I talk to you in a bit?" She sweetly said batting your eyes.
"Sure Jess, let me tuck Indira first." He replied. She glared at Indira as she stood up and headed downstairs to the basement, where her room and bathroom reside.
Indira walked past Jesse on the way to her room, "Night Jess."
"Indira, either mom, mother, or Mrs. McKay."
"I will not call you mom, you are not her. And I do not believe that you should be Mrs. McKay. So, Jess works." Indira skips down the stairs before Jesse can retort. Jess gritted her teeth, she hated that girl. When Allen and herself got married 6 years ago, Indira hated her. Jesse was fed up with her rudeness by day two, but she loved Allen and now they had 2 handsome sons together.
About five minutes later Allen started descending into the basement to tuck Indira in.
"Dira, you ready for bed?" He asked her. He noticed her eyes were green, happy.
"Yeah daddy I am in my room." She replied. He walked in seeing her in her rainbow pajamas, and he knew why.
"One question before bed." He told her.
"Would she like me?" Indira looked like she had thought a lot about this, even before tonight.
"She would love you. I know it in my heart. She wishes she could raise all of her children, but there is some ancient law that they cannot interfere with young hero's lives. Blah, blah, blah." She laughed.
"I'm a hero?"
"You will be someday; all demi-gods are called heroes because they all have the potential."
"So, the Greek gods are real." She said in disbelief.
"Yep. Time to sleep, we can go for ice cream and shopping tomorrow, if you like?"
"Like, I would love to dad!"
"Only if you sleep." He kissed her on the forehead and walked out of the room, to talk to his wife upstairs.
"My mom is a goddess!" She whispered to herself after her father left.
-Upstairs-
"So what were you talking to Indira about?" Jesse tried to seduce out of him.
"Her mother, which is none of our concern." He told her.
"I thought she was dead."
"All I am going to say she is not." He layed down the law, "No more pushing, I am taking Indira to the Mall tomorrow. I am sure you can handle the boys."
"Why would you do that?"
"Because we have things to discuss."
"Should I be worried about this, other woman?"
"No Jess. I loved her and I got an amazing gift, but she has many tasks to do. I would rather not talk about this at the moment. Let's go to bed." He kissed her on the lips assuring her more. The two hand in hand then walked to their bedroom on the main floor, bridging the gap between the children.
-Indira's Room-
Indira was looking at her dagger. Her dad gave her a slip of paper telling her how it works and what its name was. The only thing was the note was from her mother. The dagger was from her mother. She read the card over and over again looking at it, then it hit her. It is in another language then English. It was in Greek and she could read it all. She had always had dyslexia and was a terrible reader, she was beginning to wonder why she could read it easily.
The name of the dagger was kindness. Her mother told her it was so she could say "I killed them with kindness." Iris also told her that if you push on the bottom of the dagger it turns into a rainbow charm bracelet and to turn it back yank it off, it will only brake by her touch and there is no clasp so it will immediately change into a bracelet on her wrist. She had already tried this many times and worked like her mother said. She was happy, but also sad, because her mother couldn't tell her all of this in person. She sighed and her room turning a very light blue as she drifted to sleep.
So, I had this idea pop into my head. I will tell you how in a future chapter, because I was doing something, had an idea. I won't tell you yet cause that would be a spoiler. I hope you enjoyed, please review.
