So listen here, after the big war Chiron sent me off to see if this evil little brat is a demigod. And who want to know what? I can honestly say, my life wasn't complete hell
Blast to the past
" Nico get off your lazy butt and help with the horses! I don't care if your father is Hades, you ARE going to help with chores today! Even if the horses hate you." Shrieked my, long story, sort of adopted sister, Rakhsha. Well no Rakhsha is her nickname, her real name, which is Ironic, is the same as my step-mother's. Persephone. Rakhsha fits better though. She's two years younger than me, just two. But she's been mistaken for older than me, I even made that mistake when I first met her.
"Ten more minutes!" I shouted back. BOOM! Crap she's a stronger fighter. Flings my door open and breaks the locks almost everyday.
" Oh no you don't." She started, She's about 5" 4' with passed the shoulder hair and natural (somehow) white bangs and white streaks running through her copper hair. Her style is A LOT like mine, actually she's borrowed a few of my shirts. " Last time you said that, you didn't get out of bed until two in the after noon."
"NOT DECENT!" I sleep in my boxers, so sue me. Actually don't that would suck and dad would kill me.
"Not caring." She flipped the covers off, picked me up and threw me over her shoulder (she lives on a farm! Farm girls are really strong, that and the fact I'm really light for age fourteen). She dragged me out into the living room and threw me on the couch, then she did the worst thing ever. Picked. Out. My. Clothes. Even though we have the same style, she usually chooses my least favorite clothes just to tick me off.
"What are you gonna do? Dress me?" She chucked the clothes at me then and surprisingly she had mercy on me today.
" I will if I have to."
Okay, my guess is she's Hades daughter. But of course, she's not. I asked and he said I was close but not close enough yet. Did I mention when she gets mad her eyes go from Hazel to freakin' scarlet? Well now you know. I pulled on the loose pants and logo shirt she grabbed me and headed into the kitchen where she was. I came in right as I smelled burning toast, Rakhsha had one of her blank looks on her face, well it's up to me to save the house from fire...Again. Rakhsha sees the future at least a few times a day, Of course, she saw the second war before it happened, now she sees new things. She won't tell anyone though, but I can get her to slip up a bit in a conversation. We both snapped when the flames start, crap, her spacing is contagious. She's blessed by Poseidon so she has water bending. You'll see. She turns on the faucet and makes motions with her hand and the water quickly puts out the fire then makes the water go back up the faucet and shuts it off.
"That was a close one." She muttered, leaning against the counter.
" No kidding so what did you see this time?" I asked, ugh she caught my trick and narrowed her eyes. Look away! Look away! Too late, there they are, them scarlet eyes.
" Nothing. I. Saw. Nothing. Got it?"
" Got it." I'm embarrassed to say it, but that came out as a squeak.
"Good, go feed the horses."
"Since when did you become my boss?"
"Since mom left last week for a business trip." Crap they're going scarlet again.
" I-I was kidding!" Okay, she freaks me out and reminds me a lot of Chrysler. Impossible though, that's long gone. A year gone. I was bucking hay when she screamed.
I grabbed a horse and jumped on. Poseidon don't buck me off please. Since the stables was a good half mile from the house (What? She has a really loud scream) and headed there fast. And I mean fast! Rakhsha happens to be a favorite of Poseidon. We were there in record time and right in front of the house was the biggest fury I have ever seen. And she sat there fighting it, with the same fierce look as Chrysler. I grabbed my sword from my sheath and ran towards it. I caught it off guard but this thing just doesn't want to perish! I was watching Rakhsha now, she did a round house kick style kind of thing and it poofed into golden dust. She sat there panting, Did I mention she suffers from second hand smoke? Well it was from her step-dad, but her mom noticed and beat his butt outta there.
"You okay?" I asked, she immediately straightened.
"Of course, are you done in the stables?" She asked, but I had the same PE as her, when she didn't want to show weakness she breathes through her nose. You can tell, her nostrils flare.
" Yeah, you sure you're okay?"
" I said I'm fine!" Then she walked straight into the pond and screamed bloody murder, She had this issue with bodies of water. She started crying and thrashing around in the water.
"Calm down! Grab my hand." I said calmly, extending my hand, she had a death grip on it when I was pulling her out of the water. She kept the death grip even when she was out of the water. " What's your problem with water?"
"Something, from a year ago that's all!" She said quickly releasing her death grip, and running into the house, I quickly followed. And found her packing.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
" I have to go see Chiron!" She kept packing.
"Why?"
"Because, it's all crumbling down." She said looking me straight in the eyes, I didn't notice till later they were my clothes she was packing until I woke up on the steps on the big house.
"What the hell just happened?" I asked of the wind.
