An: Yes, I'm starting another story. Forgive me guys but I'm ADHD, there for I write better when I have like three stories going at once. ugh so here it goes Child of Lightening Chapter one!
I was born and raised in Australia, a natural Aussie. Until last year when my mom started acting strange, and she moved the whole family to the U.S.A. I thought it was some kind of cruel joke, moving us halfway across the world, but now I'm thankful for it. Because If we hadn't have moved, I probably would have died by now.
It all started off as a regular sort of day, I was in school, stressing because I forgot to study for my English exam. I was standing in the hallway when I heard a familiar voice, my only friend in this stupid school, Aspen Haywood.
"Hey Ckye, whats up?" He asked. I closed my locker with a sigh and looked at him.
"I forgot to study for my English Exam, Mr Reynolds is going to kill me." I muttered. For a second he looked uneasy, then he smiled.
"Well, after the hair accident I'm sure he won't really care if you flunk the test." He said
I laughed, yeah the Hair accident. The school had a very strict dress code, and even though I was 15, in high school. They still banned unnatural hair colors, so I went out for my 15th birthday and highlighted my jet black hair with bright turquoise streaks. Let's just say the principle wasn't to happy. I was a major rebel all the time though, I broke school dress code a lot, and other rules too, like piercings on anywhere but the ears were forbidden, so I got a nose ring. We weren't allowed to graffiti the gym walls, but I did it anyway. That sort of stuff. The principle tried to convince me to re dye my hair, or take out the diamond stud on my nose, but I never did. Which was why this was my last day at Hillwood high.
"Yeah, hopefully." I said with a smile, then the bell rang and I cursed. Aspen laughed.
"C'mon Ckye, we should get to class."
"My last day in this place." I muttered under my breath, then I followed him to class.
I sat there through Class as Mr Reynolds droned on about the exam and how we needed to keep our mouths shut during the test. Then he passed out the papers. I just stared at them, then I felt a looming presence behind me, and Mr Reynolds leaned down and whispered in my ear.
"Hurry up and get to work, or do I have to electrocute you?"
"Huh?" I asked, looking at her.
"I said get to work Ckye." I just looked at him confusedly, then at Aspen who was looking at me nervously.
"Y-Yes sir." I said respectfully, then I picked up my pencil and got to work. But Mr Reynolds didn't leave, he just stood there reading over my shoulder and.. Wait, why did it sound like he was buzzing
After class, the bell ring and all the kids filed out, but as I was about to leave I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't leave yet Ckye." Mr Reynolds hissed.
I turned, and what I saw wasn't Mr Reynolds, I gasped. Standing before me was a man, an angel looking thing. His eyes were like sparks of electricity.
"Oh. My.."
"Anemoi thuelai!" Aspen exclaimed. I whipped around, and Aspen was there with a.. Wait, was that a club? Mr Reynolds just laughed.
"You're powerful Demigod." He said, looking at me. "Which is why, you must die!"
"Hey, If this is really about my hair I'll change it!" I said backing up out of the class room, but the door slammed shut. "Crap." I muttered.
Suddenly Mr Reynolds snapped and I was blown backwards, Aspen screamed and Mr Reynolds laughed, but I just got up.
"Ow." I muttered.
"How?" Mr Reynolds bellowed, but his distraction gave Aspen just enough time to jump over him, hit him in the head with the club, then the thing dissolved in golden dust.
"What the heck was that?" I asked, backing up against the wall.
"Ckye, we need to go. Like right now!" Aspen grabbed my arm and drug me out of the school, all the way down to my apartment. He wouldn't stop for anything, not even for crossing lights. And considering we were walking through New York during rush hour, wasn't the greatest move. When we got to my apartment Aspen just walked in, my moms eyes widened.
"Mrs Williamson, I'm afraid they've found her." He said grimly, my mom paled.
"Who found me?" I asked. But no one answered, my mom just walked to my room. And I followed her.
"It's ok sweetheart, we just need to get you to Long Island, now."
"Why?" I asked.
"I can't explain right now, but I'll drive you and Aspen there." She said. "Now pack your backpack, you might not be coming back for a while."
I sighed and packed my backpack, when I was done my mom and Aspen were already in the car. I quickly ran out and joined them, then my mom started the car and drove away, going as fast as possible.
"So, what's going on?" I asked again, Aspen sighed.
"Ckye, you know our Latin class, how we learned about Greek myths and stuff like that?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Well, those gods are real, and you know how we learned about demigods?"
"Mhm."
"Well, their real, and your one of them." My eyes widened.
"What, really mom?" I asked, my mom just nodded. "So that means dad was a- He was a.."
"Greek god." My mother finished.
"Who though?" I asked. "Who's my dad?"
"We don't know yet, but this place were going. It's a safe place for demigods, we should find out who your dad is when we get there."
I sighed and watched the land zip by, after a while we finally got there, my mom swerved to a stop at the bottom of a hill.
"I promise I'll see you again." She said as I got out of the car. "Now go, hurry." I nodded and followed Aspen up the hill, then something growled from the woods, and three huge dogs emerged.
"Aspen!" I said frantically, but I knew he saw the dogs too.
"Run Now!" He shouted.
"Not without you!"
"I'll be right behind you!"
"No, your coming with me, now!" but just as I said that a dog attacked Aspen. "No!" I cried,, then lightening arched across the sky, and hit all three of the dogs. Then everything went black.
An: And there you go folks! Can you guess who Ckye's dad is? Review! Please!
