David POV
Another day at boring school. I seriously hate myself. I sat in the library by myself reading some books. I wasn't alone. My cousin, Thalia is with me. Thalia has electric blue eyes and chocolate brown hair. Were really close. Were the same age, but different months. My aunt, who is Thalia's mom and my mom are half sisters, so that makes us half cousins, I think. She has one brother, named Tristan in her family, while I have two annoying siblings. I was depressed. I don't know what I did wrong! I groaned as I read a random book. Why does life loves to torture me? I thought
"Come on, Dave, it's not that bad." Thalia assured me. "So Bianca broke up with you. There's plenty of eagles in the sky."
"You mean, plenty of fish in the sea?" I asked as I raise an eyebrow
"Whatever." Thalia said
"I don't see what I did wrong!" I said. "I'm loyal to her, I tell her the truth all the time, I'm patcient, kind, and Thalia I even took her on a date and payed the meal for her! We've been dating for two months and now she broke up with me! What did I do wrong?"
Thalia sigh. "Look, David, there's nothing wrong with you. Bianca might have a reason to break up with you."
"I'm not even over her." I mumbled. "I'm just a little too not over her."
"You'll might figure out one day," Thalia siad patting my head. "But for now let's just focus on our studies. We're in high school! Grow up!"
The bell rang. I sigh. I hate going to my classes. At least I have someone that I know is in that class. Thalia and I went to our classes. We have the same classes together. We went upstairs and went to the right. I open the door. There we were in a classroom that as a lot of myths on the walls. It was out Mythology class. The last class of the day! Thalia and I share the same seat with each other. We sat down and I turn my head a little. There I saw my ex-girlfriend, Bianca. She has dark brown eyes, albino skin, and light brown lushes hair that looks like chocolate. I have to pinch myself to look away. I hate it that she has to break up with me. Is there someone else? I thought. Whatever it is I will find out! Our teacher came in. He was a wheelchair guy. He also has an assitent that was in crutches. I sigh. There's going to be another boring day in this class as always.
"Good evening, class." Our teacher said. "Today we'll be studying about demigods."
Then everyone started murmering. Whatever. It's just a mythology class. There's nothing speacial about a demigod. There just the sons or daughters of a god or goddess and they have to go on these stupid quest that the gods can't do. My parents know about this and they kept on talking about it everyday. It's like they want me to have every information in my brain. I'm not that smart! I only have two A's, two B's, one D, and one F. Our teacher, Mr. Burnner was writing down the names of demigods in the myths. I sigh in bordom. I hate this class. There's nothing improtant about Greek myths. There just stupid stories that make people borad.
"Now tell me, what speacial abilites do demigods have?" Mr. Burnner asked. "Mr. Valdez?"
I look up at the boring teacher. Why can't he do anything cool? I thought. I already know the answer, it's just I chose not to say the right answer. My parents kept telling me about demigods, well mostly my mother, my dad just sits there and works in fire.
"Demigods have speacial abilites from their godly parent, but they still are mortal." I answered in bordom.
Mr. Burnner nodded. "What about a demigod that is a decendant of a goddess Hecate? What kind of powers that they'll have?"
"Magical powers?" I guessed
Mr. Burnner sigh. "Not quiet, but simliar. You see, Mr. Valdez. When someone that is a decendant of a demigod. That decendant gets the rarest power from that demigod that he or she is decendant from."
"I remember a student of Mr. Burnner has telepathy and telekiniesses." the assistent joked. "and she is the decendant of Hecate."
Everyone chuckled a little. I rolled my eyes. Mr. Underwood and his super lame jokes. I don't see why he's a teacher. He can't even walk! Mr. Burnner kept talking abou demigods like Perseus, Hercules, Theseus, Aeneus, and the others. Then he started to talk about the gods having a lot of affiars with mortals. I wan't even paying attention. This is the only class that I got an F on. I don't see why my mom and dad want me to take this kind of class. It's boring. It's like as if they already lived in that time period of the gods and all.
Then finally bell rang.
I sigh in happiness. I'm finally out of that classroom!
"Mr. Valdez, can I talk to you for a moment?" Mr. Burnner asked
I groaned silently. I seriously hate this teacher! I walk up to him. I growled silenty.
"I want to see improvment from you, Mr. Valdez." Mr. Burnner said. "Your failing this class. You need to know about the Greek myths. There very imprtant."
"Yes, sir." I said dully
"Good, now off you go."
I was about to go to the door. I touch the door knob, but Mr. Burnner stoped me.
"Mr. Valdez." Mr. Burnner called
"Yes?" I asked
"Be careful." He said. "There's a lot of dangerous creatures out in the world."
I frown at him. What the heck is he talking about? I nodded and then I went out of the door. Thalia was waiting for me. I told her what happen with my talk with Mr. Burnner. As we got out of the school, I saw Bianca. She was talking with her parents. Her dad has dark black hair, dark brown eyes, and pale albino skin. Her mother has blue eyes, fair skin, and light brown hair. Thalia and I pass them and went over to the middle school. I don't see why can't my parents pick up my siblings. I know that there busy, but that that busy.
As we got to the middle school. I saw a thirteen year old boy with red hair, bright green eyes, and pointy ears. His hair was almost to his shoudlers. I shook my head. Why can't I have a normal brother? I thought. Why does he have to put his hair like a girl and then cuts it when it passes his shoulders? You see my brother, Nathan is a crossdresser like our mom. Nathan does wore guy clothes it's just that his hair grows long and then he cuts it. He sometimes wear girl clothes whenever what mood he's in. His hair is also curly like our dad's, but he can make his hair flat too. It's his sence of style. He has both of my parents personality. He likes to work with our dad and with our mom. Like Nathan, I only have our dad's pointy ears. I also have my dad's black curly hair and black eyes.
Nathan also has a tiny bit British accent from our Mom. He spends time with out great grandpa years ago. After that he picked up the accent. It was gone now, but he just saw some British slangs and some words that are said differenlty. He says Mom to Mum a lot, grandmom to grandmum, friend to mate, and anything else that has to do witha tiny bit British. Also when he gets angery, he gets venumous and you can actually hear his accent. My sister and I have a tiny bit of the accent. We got out tiny accent from our Mom. She too has a tiny accent and can get very venumous like Nathan when she gets angery.
"Hey, Dave!" Nathan shouted
Nathan run up to me. He gave Thalia a hug and I gave him a high five.
"Hey, Nate." I said. "Come on, we have to pick up Rose."
"Okay!" Nathan said happily
We started walking to the elementary school. My youngest and only sister is in sixth grade and going to middle school soon. She's a lot like out dad. She loves to say a lot of corny jokes that are not funny. Sometimes that are and sometime there not. Thirty minutes later we got to the middle school. In the front of the school we saw a girl, with curly red hair and black eyes.
"Nathan! David!" Rose shouted
She ran to us. I gave her a hug, Thalia gave her a hug, and Nathan gave her a hug. I sigh. that's all the Valdezs. We started wlaking to our home. A few minutes we got to our house. It's a medium house in the quiet niegborhood in New York. I got out the house key and unlock the door. We went inside.
"Mom!" I called. "Were home! Thalia is here!"
"That's good sweety, were in the kitchen!" Mom called back.
I sigh. We went into the kitchen. There we saw a woman with red hair and birght green eyes. Her hair looks like a guy in the front and a girl on the back. She was wearing all mens clothing. With her was a man with black curly hair and pointy ears. He has a goofy grin on his face as if he had done something wrong. He was wearing an army jacket and a toolbelt as always. On the floor was two dogs. A dog with black fur and birght green eyes, a dog with blonde fur and black eyes, and two colorful birds that are perching on the black dog's shoulder.
"Hi Mom, Dad!" Rose said
"Hi Mom, Dad." I said in a glum voice
"Hi Mum, Dad." Nathan said
"Hi, Aunt Lily, Uncle Leo." Thalia said
"Hello dears." Mom said. "Thalia, your parents just stop by. Your going to stay with us for a couple of days. There are some problems in their work."
Thalia's face turn serious. Thalia nodded. I looked at Mom and Thalia as if it was a tennis match. It's like they were saying like it's codes or something.
"How's school, kiddo?" Dad asked
"Fun." Rose, Nathan, and Thalia replied
"Boring." I replied
"How so?" Mom asked
"We were learning about demigods." I answered. "Mr. Burnner was asking me questions like 'what speacial abilites do demigods have?' and 'What about a demigod that is a decendant of a goddess Hecate? What kind of powers that they'll have?'"
"Those are not so bad of questions." Dad said
"Easy for you to say." I said. "I don't get why I need to learn this! I don't get why Nathan, Rose, and I have to learn everything about Greek myths!"
Mom sigh. She put a hand on my shoulder. "It'll make sence. I promise you."
Then there was a loud sound. Mom, Dad, and Thalia turn pale. Our dogs and birds got up as if this was a fire drill. The backyard door burst out open and went flying pass us. There in front of us was a lion with a scorpian tail and a human face. Dad reached for his toolbelt. I thought he was crazy, but then he pulled out a three pound hammer. My mouth drop. Even Nathan's and Rose's. How can a hammer fit in that toolbelt? I thought. To my surprsied Dad's hands burst on fire. The Mom reached in her pocket and got out a green emerald dagger.
"Mum, what's going?" Nathan asked looking at the monster
He was shaking. Rose was shaking, even I was shaking! Our dogs started to growled and our small two colorful birds turn into a very large red colorful bird. I look at my cousin. I thought that she'll freak out, but she didn't. She slap her bracelet and there was a picture of a goron's head. I thought I wa going to stare in fright forever, but I didn't. then out from her sleeve she got out a sword. A bronze and gold sword.
"Mom, Dad, Thalia go take, David, Rose, and Nathan." Mom said. "Leo and I will handle this."
What the heck is she talking about? I thought. Our dogs nodded. Did she just called our dogs, mom and dad? If she did then I must be going crazy!
"Mom, what the hell is going on?" I shouted
"Go with, Thalia, David!" Mom shouted. "Thalia will explain to you all the way to camp! Listen to her as she says when you guys are going there. Do not stop! Don't worry! Your father and I got this! We've been trained for this kind of attack!"
"She's right." Dad said. "Now go!"
The lion scorpian leap at Rose, Nathan, and I. I thought I was going to be a goner, but then the lion was pushed back by a some kind of force field. I look around and saw that it was my Mom's doing. How can she do that?
"Mom?" Rose questioned
"We don't have time!" Thalia shouted. "They can handle this!"
Thalia took Rose's hand. Our dogs grab us by our shirts and we started running. I couldn't help it, but to look back. My eyes widen. There I saw my Dad was throwing flames at the scorpain lion, while my Mom was using some sort of telekiniesses at the lion. I shook my head a few times. I must be going crazy! I thought. It's just like Mr. Burnner's stories. What's going on?
