I really do love being a demigod.

Now don't get me wrong the world is a dangerous place and even more so for a demigod but the people I've met have changed my life drastically, not to sound cheesy. Without my new friends and family I would have been lost. Now I bet your wondering what's a demigod? Who are you? Why are you even telling me this?

Well Chiron thinks I should tell my story to new demigods and to everyone else because I might become a myth! Big deal right? I honestly doubt it, but Chiron thinks I have a good story and don't worry I will tell you who Chiron is. So here we go.

It all started on a Wednesday. My stupid alarm clock, I mean my sweet and caring mother woke me up. I really don't want to sound like a brat but when you hear this at 5 in the morning you'll understand.

"Adalynn wake up, I can't decide what to wear?"

"Mom just wear whatever!"

Yes, my mother asks me for fashion advice which normally I don't care about but I'm usually a night person and no one's this cheery at 5 in the morning. And by the way my name's Adalynn. It's actually Addison Lynn Roades but no one calls me Addison unless I'm in trouble.

"ADDISON!"

Which I guess is now? "Hmphh," I say as I get out of bed and groan for the extra effect to bug my mom. She kind of seems upset today so I feel bad for bothering her but it's 5 IN THE MORNING! Did I mention that?

"Mom, I love the green shirt it goes with your eyes and just put on some dress pants. You will look perfect," I say with a smile know that compliment added an extra touch. She has been going to all these meetings lately trying to get a promotion. And she gets freaked out on how she looks.

"Thanks sweetie, I love you," And she know that saying I love you to me makes me happier.

So after being rudely interrupted by my mother, I just got ready for school. I have to tell you I love doing my hair and makeup and anything else girly. Now I do to some guy stuff and I'm not one of those girls who is obsessed with pink but I do like to look nice.

After changing I look into the mirror. It was the last week of school so I was trying to look a little nicer. My mom finally yelled it was time to go and we left. My whole family was taking me and my brother to school this morning because my dad had off work.

I go to Simpson High School while my brother goes to Brown Middle School. I was dropped off and immediately saw my best friend Katy Hall. We had been best friends since 1st grade.

"Hey Adalynn!"

"Hey Kat!"

Right then though the bell rang. I must have took longer to get ready than I thought and me and Katy shared our goodbyes and went in opposite directions. My first hour was English with my favorite teacher Mrs. Likel.

Today Mrs. Likel made us write an essay on the Peloponnesian War. I was half way done with my essay when I noticed something was wrong. Mrs. Likel was on the phone but way longer than she usually had before. Then I noticed she had a somber expression and it looked like she was about to cry.

"What's wrong, Mrs. Likel?"

"Uhmm, go down to the office sweetie ok?" She said trying to sound happy but then turned away from me. People were staring so I got up quickly and left the room. As I was walking down to the office I had the strangest feeling and couldn't decide what it was but I let it pass.

When I got there the secretary told me to go to the office of the principal and pointed to the left. When I got in the principal's office she wasn't there so I looked around. I noticed the wall's were a boring shade of eggshell white and she had a little bowl of probably gross mints on her desk.

A average office I thought as a kind of plump middle-aged woman came into the room. I had never seen the principal really because I was a freshman and hadn't been to the school that long.

"Addison Roades?" I shook my head yes.

"Please sit down we need to talk," she said with a very straight face.

As I sat down her face went from straight to sad. "Do you know why you're here?" I shook my head no. Of course not you're the one who called me down! "I'm so sorry but..there's been an accident"

What? WHAT? "…your family's dead.."

I couldn't talk I was speechless. My vision blurred and I didn't notice my principal turning into a monster or a teen behind me with a shining sword…
