my name is marina robinson and i'm 14. We mom lives in a small town in texas called Anderson, and i've never known my dad. Mom never talks about him, but i here her cry at night. I have a brother too, Jackson, he's my twin. We are considered "bad children" I guess i understand by how much trouble we get into. We can't help it we just do it.
Someone knocked on the door so I answered, I first saw Jason, then sheriff lester and deputy Butch. "Is your mom home Marina?" Like i said it's a small town, and i was a troubled child that their kept an eye on.
"Yeah I'll go getter. MOM!" I gave him a smile and he gave me "The Eye."
Mom came from the kitchen, "Who is it?" SHe looked up with a dissapointed look on her face. "WhaT happened?" She said in the sweetest voice she could put on.
"Jackson here, tries to steal a kid's Nintindo DS. It was laying beside a kid in the store so he picked it up. He woulda gotten away with it, but we were driving by and we saw the little kid crying. He's the stevens kid. The kid didn't see him take it but when he turned around it was gone. We found jason here walkin down the street, so we asked what he was doin, then he confesed right there, so we are gonna let him get away with it this time." There was somethin in the sheriffs voice that I didn't like.
"I am so sorry sir. I will make sure he understands what he did was wrong." SHe grabbed him and pulled him in. "Thank you," with that she shut the door.
She was giving Jackson a worried/disappointed/non-surprised look. "I know I ahouldn't have done it but it was just so tempting." He looked her straight in the eye not even worried.
"I need to talk to you about something," normally that ment i should leave but then she said,"both, of you." she looked at me then walked to the living room.
"what did you do?" JAckson asked.
"Well, today I hijacked the schools computer, then i got into a fight with Stacy Genny, then I talked this guy into letting me drive his car. But I didn't get caught. Is that all you did today?" I asked, I don't normally do that much but today i've just been having urges like i need to practice.
"No, I got a firlfreind. But, what really happened with the DS was i stole the kid saw me and told him to let me have he just gave up and didn't say anything about it. We better go see what mom wants." We walked into the Living room and sat on the couch. She sat on the coffee table in front of us.
"I need you both to pay close attention to what I'm gonna say. Ya'll remember all those stories of Greek gods and heroes?" We nodded. Thos are our favorite stories. "Well, I'm gonna tell you somethin, you might not beleive me but it's true. I am a Demigod. Daughter of Aphrodite. That is why you never get in trouble." We kust looked at her and i wanted to think she was lieing but I knew better."Your father wasn't a deadbeat, he's a God. I'm not sure wich God but that's why he's never around. I got a letter from Camp-Halfblood saying you need to go there now. I have to send you away. I am very sorry but you need training."
"So nor more school?" I said a little to ecxitedly.
"Yes, you will stay there until you can leave. I hope you can talk to your dad, I will jot be able to talk to ya'll until winter. Now go pack."
We got up slowly stying to take everything in. "Wow. I love the stories but I never thought they where true. And mom's a daughter of Aphrodite, AND she just dumps it on us like that?" Jackson was staring at the ground.
"I know. Let;s go pack this sounds sooo fun." I had a huge smile on my face. I loved Anderson but I really did need a vacation. I packed the stuff i thought i would need. Not sure what I would need.
when i was finished i took my stuff to the truck. It's a truck with one long seat. I sat in the middle. Mom and Jackson jumped in. We arn't much of a talking family, so I turned on the radio.
I fell asleep at one point and woke up to be in the middle of nowhere, but there was a huge camp right there. "Where are we?" I asked looking out.
"We're here." She said. There was a sad look in her eyes. She gave us a hug and we hopped out. We grabbed our stuff and watched her leave.
"I guess we should go in." We looked at the camp and walked in.
It was amazing, people everywhere, The Golden Fleece gaurded by a dragon, Cabins, a few buildings, arenas, courts, etc. We walked up and then a bor our age walked up.
"Hi. My name is Seth Mertra." He shook our hands, "Follow me." I looked at Jackson and he nodded.
He led us to a big house and told us to go in. we did and found a centaur. I don't know why but I wasn't surprised at all. Neither was Jackson. "Why hello there. You must be Marina and Jackson Robinson. Come sit sit." We did what we were told and sat in two bug ver comfortable chairs. "Welcome to camp Half-blood." He gave a warm very aged smile.
Two kids came in one looked around 16 the other was seth. "Hi, I'm Erik Chandler, and you know Seth already." He shook our hands then the centaur spoke again.
"Erik and seth will show you around and hope your Parent will claim you. You can leave your stuff here if you like." He motioned for them to stand up. "Oh and bu the way, My name is Chron."
"No way, THE Chiron? That's awesome." Jackson was very ecxited, Chiron's was one of his favorite stories.
"Yes, now go look around and have fun." He smiled and we walked out.
"I will show you around Marina, and Erik will show Jackson arund." He gave Marina a smile that could have knocked her down, but she kept her cool.
All of a sudden There was a light. And Erik and Seth gasped. The light was a green color.
"Guys, ya'll have just been claimed."
