PROLOGUE
Lying on my queen sized bed; I was humming along to "Born this way" by Lady Gaga. My eyes were closed and my head was bobbing slightly to the music. I was so engrossed in my music I didn't hear my door open.
My mother strode in, looking regal as ever. I looked up when she took off my head phones with a graceful flick of her wrist. She raised a brow. "Kit," she said in her musical voice.
"What's up mom?" I asked, shutting off my music. "Something the matter?" It was rare to see mom so serious.
"We need to talk." She sat down on the edge of my bed, sighing heavily and looking older. I sat up straight, knowing it was serious. "What is it?"
Mom sighed again. "As my daughter, you know you're a demi god," she began. "Half human and god."
I nodded. "Yes."
"It's time I told you about your father, Kit."
I stared at her in shock. "M-my father…? But I thought you said that I was a freak accident? That you never slept with a human," I said, confusion clear in my voice.
My mom, The Great Harvest Goddess, looked away in shame. She wouldn't look at me. My purple eyes narrowed in anger as I knew the answer.
"I do have a father and you never told me!"
"I'm sorry but what I could do? I couldn't tell your grandfather or the others gods the truth if they found out!" mom said. "They'd kill you!"
"You should have told me," I growled. "I lived without knowing I had a father. You lied to me!" Mom took my hand into her equally small one and tried to calm me down.
"Kit, please calm down," she pleaded. "I know your upset and I don't blame you. I should have told you and I'm sorry that I didn't." Mom looked at me pleadingly. "Please, Kitty." She used my childhood nickname.
I sighed. "Why now? Why choose now to tell me that I have a father?" I looked at her. I mean looked at her closely and saw that something had happen. Something bad.
"Something happened, didn't it?" Mom nodded and gave me a letter. It was written by my only human friend, Takakura. I looked at mom curiously before opening it up and reading it.
It read, "Dear Kit, I regret to inform you that your father, James Rain, passed away a week ago. He died of a heart attack. It was a sudden and great loss to us all at Forget-Me-Not Valley. He did know that you existed and left his farm to you, his only daughter. It is up to you to decide what is to be done with the farm. Your friend, Taka."
Tears ran down my cheeks as I looked at the letter and read it again. I couldn't believe it. The man that I never knew, my father, died of a heart attack and I never knew. I couldn't believe it.
"Kit," mom began. She wiped away the tears. "Kit, honey, talk to me."
"He's dead, mom. My father is dead and h-he left me his farm in Forget-Me-Not Valley," I replied in a shacking voice.
"What do you want to do?" Mom asked.
I thought for only a second before I came to a decision. "I want to see the farm. I want to visit the valley."
