Everyone always asked me why i never took off my necklace. it was a big gold ancient Greek medallion. I would always say because it's good luck. the real reason i never took it off was because i wasn't allowed to. My Father never told me why he just said that one day i wouldn't need it but until then i could never take it off and i followed in his word. he died a couple of years ago and the day he did i swore to myself i would never take it off. My mom was never around. I never knew who she was. my dad said that when i was a baby she was called away for work and that we weren't allowed to go but one day i would see her. So for right now i live with my best friend, Morgan. Her dad left when she was little, but she gets to see him from time to time. when she was with her dad i would go to Baton Rouge to see my old friends. there was always one
person that i couldn't wait to see every time i went. My Father always said that my necklace could only be taken off by two people, my mother and the person that i went perfect with. i never knew how i was supposed to find the perfect person until i met him. Ashton Stokes.

My necklace would cling to me every time i saw him or even heard his name. I never understood how it could do that. There was one thing special about Ashton. He had a bracelet that had the same medallion on it. his was smaller though and more boyish. His Father and my Mother worked together. His Father left him when he was a baby. His mom was still around though. His Mother treated me like i was part of the family ever since Ashton brought me to his house. As soon as i walk through their door, i feel protected. Ashton was never allowed to take off his bracelet, just as i was never to take off my necklace. we had a lot more in common than we thought.

One day while i was
at his house, he brought his hand next to my face to kiss me but the medallion on my necklace clinged to the medallion on his wrist. Both the necklace and the bracelet broke off and floated into the air. the gold hit against the light and shined so brightly, that it felt as if we were looking into the sun. I closed my eyes and hid my face in his shirt. I started to feel dizzy. I couldn't feel Ashton's shirt against me or his arm around me anymore. I looked up at the medallions. they were right in front of my face and Ashton was across from me. He wasn't wearing his gym shorts or his dad's old Journey t-shirt. He was wearing a white robe that you would only see on gods in ancient Greek movies or books. His bracelet was back on his wrist. I felt my Necklace around my neck. I looked down to see my necklace. i realized that i was floating in the air. I could see my gold Sandals that i wasn't wearing at Ashton's house. I could see the white robe that was like
Ashton's in a more girlie fashion. I looked back up and Ashton was beside me. we were on the ground again. We weren't at Ashton's house though.

I turned around to find glowing people looking at me. There was a girl and a boy, holding hands, wearing robes just like me and Ashton. they were beautiful. You would never believe they were actually people., and maybe they weren't. Maybe, they were a dream. No one could ever be as beautiful as they were. I reached out my hand to touch them, and the girl across from me did the same thing. I reached her hand but didn't feel soft skin. i felt smooth glass. It was a reflection, our reflection. i reached up to touch the crown of flowers on my head. I was the beautiful girl that was across from me. I knew it had to be a dream.

I closed my eyes, counted to three, and opened them again. the mirror was still there. I still saw the beautiful reflection. I pinched my arm but nothing changed. everything
was the same. "You've always been this beautiful, you just never realized it," i heard a woman's voice say. Ashton must of heard the same thing because he gave me a worried look. We both turned around at the same time. A Beautiful woman, the most gorgeous woman i have ever seen in my life was standing across from us. She looked like a giant though. She was wearing the same type of robe i was. She had an actual gold crown, instead of a flower crown like i had. She had the same gold medallion around her neck like i did. "You're not dreaming, Alexis."

"How do you know my name?" i grabbed Ashton's hand tighter as the woman spoke. Ashton put his arm around me.

"Well, I'm your..," She started.

"Are they here yet?" A giant man walked into the golden room from behind a pillar. He had a robe like Ashton's. he had a gray beard and a gold belt. He had a medallion around his wrist just like Ashton.

"They're here, now shut up before you
scare them, Zues!"

"Hera!" the woman gave him an evil look. "Hera," he said softer. "I won't scare them. We need them more than anything right now. Why would i scare them away?"

I looked at Ashton. He looked more confused than scared. "Who are you guys? And why are we here?" Ashton said.

"Haha, my boy! I knew his mother would raise him right. I am Zeus, King of the Gods, and your father." The man crossed his arms and smiled directly at Ashton. I felt his heart speed up.

"Zeus! There was an easier way to tell him! Are you okay, honey?"

"He's fine. He's like me, brave and strong. He will be great as the new king!" Zeus laughed. He spun around and faced Ashton. He was human size now. He put his hand on Ashton's shoulder. "There are so many things you need to learn, my boy."

Ashton looked at me with apologetic eyes and let go. "I'm coming back for you no matter what," he whispered in my ear. he kissed me on the
cheek and walked away. Hera spun around and was in front of me as a human woman.

"He'll be back, don't worry." She looked at me with a smile and hugged me. "Oh how i wish i could have watched you grow up." I backed away from her.

"What are you talking about?" She took a step closer and put her hand on my necklace.

"You listened to your father. You never took it off." she held up her hand to her necklace. "Sweetheart, i'm your mother." My heart sped up. My mother was queen of the Gods! My mother was immortal!

"Does this mean that Ashton's my brother?" i could not stand it if he was. I loved him. he was mine forever.

"No. he's not your brother. We went down to Earth so that you and him would be born and meet in school. and then take over when we could no longer. there is much for you to learn. You must come with me." she put her arm around me and walked with me through the castle of Olympis, soon to be my castle.
