Yes,people before you ask me I did get my OC's name idea from the game Beyond : Two Souls.
Everything except the OC belongs to Rick Riordan.
1. Prologue
Aiden Jones was drunk.
He was ok with admitting it too, all his life didn't shape up to much; it wasn't a few drinks that were going to be a scandal. Everything about him screamed average from his brown hair and mild looks to his only slightly above average intelligence.
Except for one thing. His dark purple eyes.
And I'm not talking about a weird shade of another color, or contact lenses, I'm talking about natural violet eyes that you can't miss.
Ever since he can remember, Aiden's parents have tried to find the reason to his eyes, considering it wasn't a normal eye color. No doctor could explain it, eventually they just gave up.
But I'm rambling here, let's go back, why was Aiden drunk, you might be asking?
Well ,he had the worst day ever, it wasn't even a competition to other bad days of his life, he was fired from his job, a so-called "employee release", his girlfriend broke up with him, after a huge fight about something that Aiden can't even remember, and finally his father, the last close family he had died in a car accident, his mother had died when he was still a kid, and he wasn't a very sociable person which meant he didn't have any close friends. Man, he had hit rock bottom in a day, was that even possible?
So yeah, he was drunk.
The problem with drinking was that after enough alcohol you wouldn't even be able to see straight much less walk straight, so you might be asking yourselves how Aiden went home.
Well that's just it, he didn't. Or rather after pathetically trying to walk a few steps, he fell to the side.
And just as he was about to pass out, he sobered up immediately upon seeing a very strange sight.
It was a girl probably in her sixteen's wearing a silver parka and jeans with combat boots and she seemed to be wearing some kind of crown "a tiara" a muddled part of his brain corrected him, even from here he could see her electric blue eyes and… wait was that a bow? Yep he was definitely drunk.
But wait the girl seemed to be running from something, a giant...men,he narrowed his eyes, he though that when people were drunk they were supposed to see double not minus one... then why did it looked like... Aiden was kind of impressed with what his mind could come up with when he was drunk, a couple seconds later he realized he shouldn't be this self aware when he was drunk, and the realization hit like a hammer.
The girl was real.
And so was the one-eyed beast chasing after her.
"But they can't be real, monsters aren't real and normal people certainly didn't go around with bows" he thought even has a ran in their direction to try and help the girl, how exactly he was going to help was something he hadn't figured out yet but hey, give him a break he still was quite dizzy.
By now the one eyed-men was dangerously close to the girl, and just as it was about to catch her, Aiden screamed from a few feet away "HEY FREAK, OVER HERE!"
The girl seemed has startled by him has the monster was, but Aiden got what he wished, it turned away from the girl, the bad news? It turned to him instead.
"Ah, shit I didn't think about this very much did I?" he thought has the thing prepared to charge at him, when suddenly he went very still and seem to start to grow a horn.
"A horn?" Aiden thought confused.
No, wait it wasn't a horn, it was a blade.
And Aiden watched in sick fascination as the one eyed-men crumbled to dust and as the girl took out the knife she just used to stab the back of it's head, and then turned to him.
Aiden, expecting a little idolization from the girl, (he did just save her life) was rather surprised and freaked out when he got a knife to the throat instead.
"How could you see me and the Cyclops?" she asked in a deadly quiet voice, a voice Aiden knew better than to ignore or disrespect, a voice full of power.
Aiden sighted. "Why do I have a felling I'm not going to like her?"He thought sourly.
Please review, let me know what you think. ;)
