Demigod Story

by LongLiveLizzie

I didn't want this. So will someone please explain to me why, instead of finishing my book report, I'm on a suicide mission to save my idiot baby brother, I have to keep my friends (relatively) safe, and try not fall too hard for a stupid son of Hades. My name is Christine, I'm a daughter of Demeter, and oh fuck- Eve is having a panic attack.

1. Chapter 1:Chris

Chapter 1- Chris

My name is Christine Rhode, but if you could call me Chris I'd really appreciate it. My fist has an adverse natural reaction to the name Christine and will cause damage to anyone who calls me that. Permanent damage. I don't know what to tell you about myself, aside from the fact that I'm pretty average looking. And, up until about three weeks ago, I thought I was a totally average 16 yr. old who's main worries were that her best friend's mom wasn't drunk off her ass and keeping her tattoo a secret from her dad. I couldn't have been more wrong. Turns out, nothing in my life is, was, or is ever going to be normal. My whole world just shifted all because of one tiny little fact about my heritage. Everything I thought I knew about my mother was a lie supposedly told to protect me. I didn't ask for my world to be chewed up by a monster and spit back out all messed up and upside down. I just wanted to be as normal as possible. Guess that was just too good to be true.

The only thing that has made this whole ordeal bearable is that it didn't just happen to me, it also happened to my three closest friends. Cassie, Ash, and little Evie. Cassie has brown hair and bright green eyes while Ash is blonde with freaky grey eyes. Evie has what I like to call fire hair and ice eyes. Cass&Ash are really tight and 15, but Evie is only 14. The worst part of this was them expecting me to be strong, and not give up, when all I wanted to do was break down and cry over the fact that I might never see my baby brother again.

Right now you must be wondering what happened to make me feel this way, why I'm being all uber-emotional about whatever it was that happened. Guess it's time to tell you. My mother is Demeter the goddess of agriculture, and I'm one of her daughters. This basically means a life of fighting to survive to the next day (only to repeat the process again) and never being able open up to anyone unless I'm certain their a)not trying to kill me and b)a demigod like me. On the flipside, I get a greater family than I could have ever imagined, and the feeling that I finally belong somewhere.

Lucky me, right?
