Golden Darkness
Prologue
Billions of centuries ago, the world is divided into two, the mortals and the immortals, both controlled by Zeus, who had the highest authority of all. The immortal world was controlled by Hera, the second highest authority to Zeus. She then set up two academies, the light academy, ruled by the god of Sun, Apollo, and the dark academy, ruled by the goddess of Moon, Artemis.
Many wondered why did Hera allow the siblings to rule the academy when she hated them more than anything. The answer was very simple; she was making use of the siblings all along. Hera controlled the world for centuries, making use of the siblings without knowing that they were plotting their revenge... When things finally get out of hands, the siblings, together with the academy destroyed Hera in a single blow, the keyword was unity...

Chapter 1
"Mom, I'm off to school." Kaitlyn Swift said to the woman in the picture frame by the side of her bedroom door before leaving. She blew a kiss at it and left the room. She ran down the steps two at a time.
"Kaitlyn, what would you like for breakfast?" Aunt Pamela, Kaitlyn's stepmother, shouted from the kitchen. Kaitlyn went into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of bread and placed it in between her teeth. "Kaitlyn, you need a proper breakfast." Aunt Pamela nagged.
Kaitlyn shook her head patiently. "It's okay, Aunt Pamela. I've got to go to school early today." Aunt Pamela nodded her head and waved. Kaitlyn turned to go but heard the slam of the front door.
Kaitlyn's older brother, Klaus, appeared. His dark eyes, just like his sisters, scanned the house. "Hey, Kaitlyn." He said, as he saw his little sister standing in front of him, and ruffled her long and silky golden hair.
"Where were you last night? Aunt Pamela was worried about you." Kaitlyn asked suspiciously.
"Why would she care?" Klaus push past Kaitlyn and strode to his room. What's with him? She thought. Kaitlyn went out of the house.
Klaus had told her that he hated Aunt Pamela, because she was responsible for their mother's death. Kaitlyn's mother had gotten a heart attack after she found out about Kaitlyn's father's affair with Aunt Pamela. Kaitlyn shook her head. It was no use thinking about that. Aunt Pamela was a nice person. She maybe couldn't resist my father's charm, just like everybody else. She thought.
Kaitlyn crossed the yard and walked to the path leading to her school, Olympus High School. She had always walked to school alone, but today, she couldn't understand why she felt so afraid. She felt like someone's watching her. Something very dangerous is following her. She turned around but saw nobody there. She turned back and walked a few steps forward when another different feeling crept towards her. Instead of the dangerous cold fear she experienced before, she felt warm and protected. Kaitlyn does not feel right, in fact, the feelings don't feel right… Somebody, or something, is stalking her. And that thing is definitely not human…
