Notice: if anything in this story seems remotely familiar close this window immediately.
My name is Jason Reed and I am a demi-god. All this craziness started about 3 months ago, when me and my best friend Austin were on a field-trip to a movie theatre. I attended Phillips academy for troubled boys. Most guys there were either forced to go there by the court or by there parents. I however just had been expelled from one to many school. I loved my mom I really did but sometimes it was hard. I know I was an only child but when you come from a low income family and your mom is only around for a portion of the day and you live in a rough neighbourhood you can get up to some crazy stuff. I never hurt anyone or did drugs but I was known for alot of mischief. Mostly stealing scrap parts from cars and bikes to build little do-dads and gizmos. Some of them were just basic stuff like robots other more sophisticated like power laces were the laces automatically tightened once you stepped in. Anyways back to three months ago, Austin and I along with the rest of my grade eight class were visiting a movie theatre to learn about Ancient Greece. While waiting in line for tickets Hunter Malone kept calling Austin names. Some weren't bad like shorty and cripple. Hold on I should explain first, Austin was a 13 year old guy from new jersey who was 5'6 and had jet black hair like me. we had alot in common video games t.v. and sports 'cept the problem was Austin had a freak knee injury and wasn't able to walk without crutches any more. Anyways Hunter Malone kept calling Austin names, Austin being the nice guy he is ignored him. I was starting to get mad hunter thinks he can do what ever he wants because his dad is some multi millionaire from la. "Hey crips!" Hunter called "move up". Eventually he couldn't take it. "Shut up!" Austin yelled. "Whats the problem orphan can't take a few blows?" That was it, I came at him the rage of countless insults building up inside me. Hunter started to cower away but I punched him, almost instantly dropping him to the ground. Then I jumped on him throwing punches left and right. "SSTOOPP!" yelled Mr. Edwards our social teacher. Mr. Edwards was probably well over 6 and half feet and was able to drag me off Hunter like I weighed nothing. Mr. Edward hated me, he would use any excuse to give me detention or yell at me. He dragged me into a side room shoving me into the middle of the room. "Jason!" he yelled. "What on earth have you done?".
" He started it!" I spat.
"I don't care who started it you threw the first punch! You've been trouble since you got here." he said.
"Its time I started what I came here for!" he muttered to him self. I turned away and when I came back Mr. Edward had become a Chthonic (K-th-o-nik) also known as a monster from the underworld."Jason as the son of a god and mortal you must die!" He or it rather screeched at me.
"Back away!" Austin yelled. Austin pulled a sword from what appeared to be his crutch and stabbed Mr. Edwards. The monster that was once feet away from me was now lying on the floor as a pile of yellow dust. "what was that?" I demanded half scared half shocked. " I can't tell you now, there might be more on the way we need to move!" Austin replied. Austin and I booked it out of the room and left using the fire exit. The other kids were still tending to Hunter Malone who looked seriously messed up. I couldn't help smiling to myself as Austin and I ran to my house.
