Demigod twins by Cosette, Hunter of Artemis

Before I knew I was a demigod or had a twin to bug me 24/7. I was a normal girl working my but off to pay my debt to my foster mom. You see my biological mother left me when I was still a baby and then I was sent to an orphanage. I lived there for 7 years until someone was willing to adopt me. Her name was Bailey Towson she was a 35-yearold lady with light brown hair and matching eyes. She was a really sweet person, for a few years at least. She cared for me like a real mom. She gave me a suitable home and provided food, clothing, and an education. When I went home from school a week after my 11th birthday, she asked me for my company in the living room. I followed her gladly. She gave me a box tightly wrapped with a velvet ribbon. I opened it thinking it was an extra birthday gift. The innocent looking box contained dozens of bills and receipts.

" You owe me a dept Amelia Jane, " she said

" For what? " I asked

" For taking care of you for the past 4 years, you will work until your debt is paid " she demanded

" You're my mom I'm not supposed to pay you to take care of me," I said

"I am not your mother, from now on you will call me aunt Towson. You will pay your debt or I will disown you and leave you on the streets begging for food." She said sternly. She looked like she was about to explode with anger.

Aunt Towson took a deep breath to try and control herself.

"It won't be so hard for you, I mean you name does mean work" she laughed obnoxiously.

Then she walked out of the room and closed the door.

Work or Streets? Hmm…each sounds so tempting but I chose work. I began walking dogs, mowing lawns, and when I was 12 I became apprentices of many people in different jobs. It's safe to say I get fired and recruited easily. My current job is at a local coffee shop, it's just near aunt Towson's house so it's easy to go there and back.

One and a half years later something happened that changed me completely. By the way my name is Amelia Jane Falcon, AJ for short and this is my story.

I was on my way to school with my best friend Leo Robin. He has silky blonde hair and blue-greenish eyes and he was about 5.6 I guess.

Leo wasn't that kind of friend you expect. We actually met by hating each other. Even if he was a new kid, he played pranks on everybody during the start of the school year. As for me, I was his favorite target. He dumped a weird mixture of mayonnaise and 2-week-old chicken on my head, almost drowned me in the school pool, broke my locker door, and not to mention spit balled me when I made a very important speech, to top it all off hacked the principle's computer and changed all of my grades to C- (I would have gotten an average of C anyway, but still.)

To get back at him for all the things he has done to me. I made an ingenious plot to make him look like a complete fool in front of the whole student body. (I won't mention my scheme here because it was a do not try this at home-or in school-thing.)

Leo was impressed of what I did and congratulated me even if it involved him being the laughingstock of the whole student body. He promised not to pick on me anymore because I gained his respect. Truth be told, it was sort of fun playing pranks on other people but when you're the prankee it really sucks. We went from bitter rivals to best friends after that.

" Are you still going to that music recital thingy? " Leo asked

" Yup, got old Luna over here " I said touching my guitar that slung over my back.

" I only like listening to music not playing it. That is also why I'm just going to watch you and scream Go AJ! Whooo yeah! You rock! Then I will look like a complete idiot in front of all those silent music lovers." Leo said like he was narrating the scene. He ended up blushing at the last sentence.

I chuckled.

I have had a love for music since I was a kid. I have learned to play guitar, piano, violin, French horn, trumpet, triangle, drums, and etc. I never took any classes but every time I played an instrument I caught on easily. Leo on the other hand had no appreciation for the art.

We got to school at 7:00 am. Leo and I said our goodbyes and headed off to our classrooms. Our only class together was history and it was also our last class for the day. I enjoyed it especially when we discussed Greek mythology. It was sort of cool. Our professor for history is Mr. Lashbrook. They kinda don't have enough seats for this class so I have to stay in the side bed of the windowsill. Why me? It was because our class prankster (a.k.a Leo) decided to mess with my seat. There are perks to it. I am allowed to open the windows whenever I wanted. It was a little hot in the classroom so I unlatched the silver-sided bay window.

We learned about Heracles/Hercules' 12 labors. The class heard the bell ring and Mr. Lashbrook dismissed us and reminded us that our reports are due on Monday. Then he exited the classroom and closed the door behind him. I copied some extra notes and I leaned against the window and well… it was open. If you know how the force of gravity works then you have a pretty good idea of what happens next. I landed on the grass. It was a short fall, but it really hurt. I shook my head and widened my eyes. I stood up, tried to anyway. I fell back down on bum. I grabbed the windowsill and pulled myself up. Before I fully stood up I noticed two people still in the classroom. It was Leo and Tom Bryne.

Tom was this curly red haired guy with crazy blue eyes. He walked a bit awkwardly. When people ask him about it he says it's a leg disorder. Tom wasn't my close friend but we talk once in a while, though I have never seen Leo talk to anybody but me. If he does talk to somebody he would typically be bribing, conning, manipulating him or her. In other words things that get him in all sorts of trouble. I always get him out of these kinds of situations. So I leaned a bit closer and listened to their conversation.

It is not eavesdropping. It was merely because I cared for my friend.

" Dude it's somewhere in the campus " Tom said

" What do you mean? " Leo asked

" It caught the scent of two half bloods and it's coming for the both of you. "

" That's not possible our scent is covered. "

" That's not important anymore." Tom paused " Do you think we should take her to camp? "

"Yes, but I don't know how AJ will take it all in."

"Let's just disable her an-." I accidentally cut off Tom by falling into the classroom.

I stood up immediately. I looked at the both of them and the two of them exchanged glances.

"Disable me?" I asked shocked.

Tom instantly brought out a hollow tube and blew into it. I felt a sharp prick in my neck. Next thing I knew I was losing consciousness. My eyes blinked drowsily and I fell unto the hard tiled floor of the classroom. The last thing I saw and heard was Leo picking me up in his arms and a big roar in the back round with people's screams echoing in the air.
