Chapter one- My Curse

Author's Note- i have a new story now! i was writing this book for class since we had to write a 25 page book. i decided to put the book on the site for you to enjoy. it's a good fanfiction from what my friend said. i still think it's crap! but think what you think! now go read this fanfic!

I woke up a little before my clock rang. I looked outside the window the sun was coming poking out of the horizon. I opened the window, and felt the breezy air through my hair. I stood there for a few minutes taking the mixture of the colors in. There was purple, pink, orange, and red. I felt like drawing the picture down, but it would probably turn out as a rainbow with only four colors and dark bumps as the horizon. I started to walk toward my bed. I suddenly felt like someone was looking at me. I turned and all I saw was a blur of a shadow and the curtains flying. I ran to the window, and looked out of it. I felt like I should just leave my house and never return, but I didn't. I wasn't scared of anything.

I looked around my room. I took out my journal. I started to draw what the figure looked like. I could only draw things with the colors blue, green, black, gray, and brown. Anything else looked like a blurry collage of colors. I heard my alarm clock ring and I swear I jumped 5 feet. I turned off the clock and took a shower. Secretly thinking I didn't wake my mom. After, I put on a red shirt, a pair of jeans, black sneakers, and chains on my waist. I left my room and heard my mom still sleeping. She had work at 9:00p.m. To 6:00a.m.

Yesterday. So I made my own breakfast which consists of milk and cereal. I put away the dishes, and I grabbed my book bag and keys. I left my house and started walking to school. I started thinking what torture my math and reading teacher will make me endure today. I walked a little faster when I saw my friend . No I don't like her in anyway then friends, plus she's a fan girl. She was wearing blue jeans, a blue blouse, and black flats. We started walking down the street there wasn't anybody on the street except for us.

"Hey Jake so who are you taking to the dance?" she asked me

"I have no idea….. Any suggestions?" I said a grin coming on to my face.

"But really who are you thinking on taking?" she said with a serious voice. I thought for a minute. Maybe I'll take Anna or Ashley.

"I think I'll take Anna or Ashley" From the look on her face it looked like she really knew who I was thinking of. I was actually thinking of Kim. I don't talk to her much because of the fear of being friend zoned. Kim was a girl who has spunk. She's like a rock girl. I never thought that I would fall for her.

"Hey are you going to just think about it or tell me?" I sighed. There was no getting out of this.

"Fine but you can't tell anyone not even the. …. Promise?"

"Promise, now tell me." I took a breath trusting jenny.

"Fine it's ….."But before I could tell her my other friend JR came running toward us.

"Hey how are the love birds?!" he shouted. JR always thought that me and jenny had a thing for each other, but I knew he was just joking.

I saw jenny glaring at him from the corner of my eye. Suddenly when JR got close enough she punched him right in the gut.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT WE'RE DATING?! MY HEART BELONGS TO MARK AND MARK ONLY!" she screamed so loudly that if we weren't the only one on the street that people would have stared at us. I held jenny back has she tried to hit JR again. I looked at JR and said

"you better run I won't be able to hold her longer!" JR started running toward the school which was pretty close. After I saw him inside the school gates I let jenny go.

"Why didn't you let me beat him up!?"

"I thought you wanted to hear my date to the dance?"

"Oh yeah" she said "tell me then?!"

"I'm going to take …Kim." I said in an awkward away.

"I knew it! I'm going to tell her in lunch!"

"WHAT YOU PROMISED NOT TO TELL!"

"I crossed my fingers!" she said as she ran toward the school. I started running toward her, but she had a head start. I entered chasing her and soon I was in the school. I turned the corner, and what I saw stopped me in my tracks. It was eye to eye with a huge beast the size of two full grown men standing on top of each other. It was a lion with goat head sticking out from its back. Its tail was green snake tail. It growled at me. I stared at it with my knees shaking a bit I'll admit. I started to take a position to pounce. Moved back a few steps. I feared for life at that moment in my life. When it was in the air almost ripping my head off a man with a horse body from the waist down appeared and saved my life. He had a bronze sword. He slashed at the creatures head and it turned into gold dust. He looked at me and said

"are you OK?"

I looked up he looked like my history teacher, but it can't be. Even though he has the same eyes, hair ….. OK I think he is my history teacher.

"Jake I know what you're thinking and yes I'm your history teacher, but we can discuss this more in the future. For now get on my back!" I compiled since I guessed if I didn't he could take me by brute force. I claimed on to these guys back. I was thinking if I was dreaming or if this is real. I was just mainly relived that someone saved me. As he ran out the school and toward a bus with a strawberry on it, I wondered if I was being kid napped. He told me to get off and into the van. I got off and went inside the bus. I was inside and my history teacher sat next to me. Well as best as he could any way.

"Hey know what you're thinking …about me, Brian and that KHIMAIRA back there. The thing is that all I have been teaching you in history was for a reason."

I was think what he meant about that. We were learning about Greek mythology and all that stuff was fake right…..

"I was teaching Greek mythology because I wanted any of us to be ready just in case."

"Just in case of what all that stuff we learned in class is fake right?" I said my voice cracking in the end. Puberty was interfering again.

"No, all that I thought you is true. There are gods, monsters, and demigods in this world" I didn't understand why they were telling me this since I couldn't be any one of those. I thought that if I was a god I would have known by now. I can't be a monster since I wasn't fury; scaly, or muscular at all. Then I thought about being a demi-god it would explain many things, like why I don't have a dad or why my mom never talks about him. It would also explain why I have dyslexia and ADHD.

"I already know what you're thinking about. If you're a god, monster, or a demi-god. I think you crossed out two answers already which are" THUMP! The van stopped. I looked out the window. Thankfully it was just a pothole not another monster.

"I think that was a false alarm, but I'll keep my eyes open." That's when I actually looked at him and saw that he had around one hundred eyes. It was weird at first but then I realized I would see weirder stuff like that so I dismissed the thought. Felt like my throat was the direst it's been my whole life.

"Like I said I bet you were wondering which one you are and now I am confirming your suspicions." He said with the most serious face I have seen in my life.

"Jake Phoenix you're a demi-god"
