Prologue
Listen I didn't want to be a demigod. But as it turns out I'm more than just a half-blood. I'm actually from the future, I'm not one of those people who came back with a mission or something. The truth is I'm the demigod daughter of Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase. They sent me back in time and switched me with a dead baby that thankfully was the same gender and born at the same day and time as me. I'm only 12 years old almost 13 making it almost 7 years since I found out about my powers and parentage. Yeah you heard me powers, for some unknow reason that I'm totally grateful for, I can copy other people's powers or abilities and keep them by just being around them. I know a lot of power for a 12 year old right? Wrong. I started taking powers since before I was born. I have dark brown hair and partly brown and partly green eyes that change color depending on how I'm feeling: blue for a sugar high (even though I don't get hyper), gold when I'm mad, red when I'm frustrated, violet when I'm emotionally hurt and a bunch of other colors but the one thing they all have in common (except my normal eyes) is that they all glow. I have cousin exactly four years younger than me, Grace, daughter of Jason Grace and Piper McLean. The same procedure that happened to me happened to her and she was placed 4 years after when I was placed and was actually born 4 years after me. We were placed in the same family so she's my cousin in both ways and we're really close not just because we share a birthday, we've just always been that way. Grace has the same powers I do but hers are lighter while mine are darker. Don't get me wrong I'm not talking about dark magic or anything like that, well we can do magic but it's not evil or anything. My powers are than hers as in I can see perfectly fine in pitch black darkness and to me everything is colder and darker so if I were to see and feel things from a normal person's point of view it would all feel really hot and bright. The reason for our contrast in powers is that I found out about our powers way before she did and since I had no one to teach me how to control the absorption, I absorbed way too many powers and also have and know how to control both hers and mine. Now after six years of learning how to harness my natural born powers (the powers I absorbed before I was born) and my absorption, Grace discovered 0she is and was going to run away to protect us but she wanted to say goodbye to me first. She didn't want to tell me why she was leaving, but I finally managed to squeeze the reason out of her, she told me she thought she was some sort of freak and weird things were happening to her and strange creatures were popping up wherever she went and tried to kill her. When she finished her story and I had no shocked or bewildered or astonished expression she said she believed me when I said I would understand and that I didn't or thought she was crazy or didn't believe her and tried to run from me. I caught up to her and grabbed her wrist and told her I did understand, and that she's not some freak that she's actually a demigod. I explained to her why she was being followed and why weird things have happened. I told her I was going to have to train her and teach her how to control her abilities and that she shouldn't trust anyone except maybe me. I told her I'd never leave her side and I'd always be there for her but she'd have to be careful because now that she knows she'd smell like an all you can eat buffet to monsters and her training began...
