Obviously don't own PJO/HOO

Summer's POV -

I think the day I realised we were cursed was sometime around our 6th Birthday.

Me and my twin Zoya were taking it in turns to play on the bike we got for our birthday. Zoya fell off and I felt the exact pain she did. You might think we were just exaggerating but that doesn't explain the matching scars.

Later, on our tenth birthday our mother explained it all.

She had been a hunter until she'd fallen in love. Of course that had happened before but what really pissed Artemis off was the fact it was with Apollo. My mother broke her vows to never to feel sexual love for a man, so she was cast out from the hunters.

Unknown to them she'd cursed our mother so that any child she'd bare would have a twin, an exact doppelgänger. You might not think this as too bad, but if I got a scar then suddenly Zoya would have one in the exact same place.

If one of us cut her hair the others would somehow change to the exact length. Even our clothes morphed, depending on who changed first.

Like most children of Apollo we had blonde hair and freckles but our looks had been somehow pushed together. We had one blue eye and one green eye and parts of our hair were curly and other parts were straight. We guessed this was a result of two bodies morphing to make one.

In case you're wondering we're 14. We've known we were demigods since we were 11 and our mother told us about the 'twin thing' as we call it but we've always tried to ignore it and get on with an ordinary life.

Or as ordinary as possible.

For almost 3 and a half year it worked. We went to a poncy boarding school, we tried to hide our curse, we joined clubs and no monsters really attacked, preferring to focus on more powerful Demigods.

Then one day everything changed.

Hey! I hope you like this! It was a group story between me and a friend. We know it's short but it's more of a prologue than a chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed it and want more.
