Hellooo! It's me, GhostPrince006!
So here's my first ever fanfic story, hope you like it!
(I edited some parts of this chapter and I'm working on the second chapter.)
Chapter 1: I've Met My Father
I just finished taking a bath and putting on my clothes. When I stepped out the bathroom, I saw a man sitting on the edge of my bed and I was shocked. 'How did this man entered my room? I was sure I locked it before I went to the bathroom.' I thought to myself. So I quietly tiptoed straight to the door of my room but he noticed me.
"Where are you going, child?" the man asked like asking his own son or daughter as it sneak out their house. I turned to look at him and readied to defense myself.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in my room?" I demanded arms crossed. The man stood up.
"
Don't worry, child. I'm here to talk to you." the man told me as he spread his hands.
"I don't believe you! You're here to, err, hurt me or steal some of my things!" I shouted at him as I grabbed the vase. The man looked at me like 'Don't dare to do that or you'll get punished.' as if he read my mind.
"Calm down, child. I'm not here to hurt you." He said, walking towards me.
I threw the vase on him but he dodged it. "Stay away from me, thief! Or else." I warned him as raised my fists like challenging him into a fight. I wanted scream for help but I can't, my voice is cannot be heard from here (third floor) up to the first floor.
He stopped walking towards me. "My name is not thief, its Thanatos, the god of Death." He said and I was shocked when I heard his name. "Is that how must you address your father and a god, Thia Francesca Grauer?" he asked staring at me. (Information about my OC, Thia Francesca Grauer: She's a famous supermodel of a famous fashion magazine and daughter of a very rich owner of a famous fashion company. She never attended school since she started modeling so she studies at home [mansion]. She's also a very good musician, dancer, singer, fashion designer and... a fighter and a smart kid. That's all!)
"Ha! My father? He's been dead for 15 years! And a god? Are you kidding me? There's no such thing like that! It only exists in myths!" I told him/shouted at him. 'Is he insane?' I thought to myself. He laughed.
"It's that what Francesca told you? That I'm dead?" He laughed again. "Oh, you'd better believe in god and not just god, 'gods'." He warned. "Before one of them incinerates you. Especially me."
I stared at him. "You're insane! You're not a god! You're, you're just crazy man who entered my room without my permission… And what do you know about my mother?" I shouted, getting confused.
"First, I'm not insane or crazy. Second, I knew your mother because she is the first woman I've met in my existence, the first woman I ever fell in love with and the first woman who broke my heart because I was forced to leave while you're still on your mother's womb." He flinched as he finished said that.
"Nice try, crazy man named 'Thanatos, the god of death'." I said as I smirked at his pathetic act.
"You think I'm lying to you?" He said. His eyes full of sadness and pain knowing that I didn't believe him. I almost believed him just looking at his eyes but I mentally told myself not to fall to those angelic and warm honey gold eyes.
"Yes." I said, placing my hands on my waist. "If you want me to believe you then give me a proof that tells me that you're my father or tell me something that only my mother and I know." I mentally smile at my act knowing that he'll fail and surrender but to my surprise he just smiled at me and pointed at the necklace that I'm wearing ever since my mother gave it to me as my thirteenth birthday gift.
"That necklace you are wearing." Thanatos said. His smile widened as if he remembered a joke or….a memory. "I gave that necklace to your mother, Francesca, before I left her. I told her that that necklace is the sign of my everlasting love for her and no matter what happens or wherever I am I will always be there for her, guiding her and watching her…" After that, his smile melted.
I froze. How could this man know that? Is he been spying on us all along? But why? And what he just said is the exact words my mother told me when she gave me the necklace on my thirteenth birthday… Is this man is really my father? Questions start to fill my mind but I don't know how speak to it all out. I'm too confused and shocked to speak. Suddenly there was a knock on my bedroom door and it opened revealing my mother.
"Thia, I'll be away for a few weeks -" Mother stopped at midsentence as her eyes fall to the man standing in front of me. At first I thought she'll scream and call the police but she run towards Thanatos and hugged him like there is no tomorrow.
'Thanatos' is the first word coming out from my mother's mouth as she continued to hug Thanatos. "After all those years, I thought I'll never see you again…" Mother said as she started to cry.
"Shh… Stop crying…" Thanatos said softly as he pulled away from Mother's embrace and brushed away her tears. "Me too, Francesca. Me too." Mother took Thanatos' hand and holds it tightly with her right hand while other is on Thanatos' cheek then turned to face me.
"Thia, meet your father, Thanatos."
"Oh my God." I able to say as I sat on the edge of my bed. Mother sat beside me and placed her hand on my shoulder.
"I know this is sudden and shocking-" Mother started to say but I cut her off.
"You told me that my father is dead. Why did you lie to me? All along I believed that my father is dead then this man
*pointing at Thanatos* suddenly show up and keep telling me he is my father and now you are telling that he is my father? Why?" I said as tears start to form in my eyes. Mother tried to speak but Thanatos, my father, place his hand on her shoulder stopping her.
"Francesca, could you leave us for a moment? Our daughter and I need to talk." Thanatos said to Mother. Mother murmured 'Okay' and left. Thanatos knelt beside me so we're in the same level. He took my hand getting my attention.
"Why did you leave?" I asked having the courage to look at him.
"I had to leave because the law bounds me to be with you, you and your mother. You don't know how much pain I felt when I left you."
"Law?" I asked confused.
"It is a law that bound us gods to see or to be with our demigod children." He explained.
"And who made that stupid law?" I asked.
"Be careful with your words, child or you'll face the wrath of Lord Zeus." He said. His voice is serious but his smiling.
"Could you please stop calling me child? I'm no longer a child. I'm a teenager! Almost a lady!" I told him, acting like I'm annoyed. "Gosh. Adults!" I finished as I spread my arms in frustration. He laughed at my remarks. I smiled but tears start again to form in my eyes. He noticed and stopped laughing.
"Why are you crying" He asked. I shook my head and hugged him. He was shocked at first but hugged me back.
"I'm so happy. Finally, I was given the chance to talk to you and...feel your embrace." I said as tears fell, still hugging him. He looked down at me and brushed my tears. He smiled. We started chatting with each other.
After several minutes...
"Uhm... May I ask you a favor?" he asked.
"Of course. What is it, Father?" I asked then smiled when I said the word "Father".
He shifted his weight. "To be honest, my reason is not only to see you like you and Francesca might think."
I stared at him for a bit. "What do you mean?" I asked. I'm happy that now I met my father but some part of me is sad knowing that my father's reason is not only to see me.
"My true reason is… Could you be the guardian of my master's son?"
"Sure. What is the name of your master's son? I asked.
"His name is Nico di Angelo… He is also fifteen years old like you." Dad answered.
"Ah, okay… But why?" I asked again.
"Well, Lord Hades is quite busy so he asked if I could take care of Nico and be his guardian," he sighed again as he said the name. "But I was also busy so I said 'no'."
"So that's why you asked me if I could." I said and he nodded. "Why is this Nico needed to be guided?"
Camp Half-Blood
Half-Blood Hill
Long Island, New York
(800)009-0009
Suddenly he laughed. "He is quite being rude and having a bad impression with other gods especially to his step-grandmother, Demeter."
"He really needs a lot of guidance from me. Don't worry that's a piece of cake. I already experienced acting as a guardian to other people like Steven." I told him.
"Yes and no." Dad said. "So, are you accepting my favor?" I stared at him for a bit and nodded.
"Yes, Dad. I'll do anything just for you." I told him.
"Thank you, Thia." Dad thanked me.
"You're welcome, Dad." He fished out a business card from his pocket and gave it to me. I took it and read it. The card was in fancy script so it is hard for me to read because of my dyslexia.
"Give it Chiron once you arrive at Camp Half-Blood." Dad instructed me.
"Camp Half-Blood?"
"Yes, Camp Half-Blood. A place for demigods like you. You will find Nico there." Dad answered and sighed. "I don't want to surprise you but… you must be there today together with your friend, Steven."
"What?!" I said, surprised. "Today?!"
"Yes." He said in a pleading look. "Master's orders… but don't worry, I already arranged a flight to New York."
"What?" I said and he nodded. "But why should I be together with Steven when I go to that place?"
"His father requested me so." Father said.
"You know Steven's father? I thought his dad died on a plane crash…"
"Thia, his dad is also a god like me and he is just not only a god… He's one of the Olympians…"
"You mean the Twelve Olympians? Like Zeus, Athena, Apollo and Artemis?" Thunder rumbled.
"Yes and please don't just call them by their names… It has power."
"Wait. About Nico. I don't know anything about him." I said.
"Oh. I forgot." Dad said as he stood up and held out his hand. A folder appeared and he held it to me. I took it.
"How?" I asked, surprised
"It's a godly thing, Thia." He chuckled while I shook my head and said, "Gods."
"I should be going now…" Dad announced.
"You're going already?" I asked, standing from where I am sitting on. He put a hand on my shoulder.
"Yes, Thia… I got a lot of things to do…" He said, smiling at me. "Thank you again, Thia and make me proud."
"Bye, Dad." I said as I waved goodbye. He waved back and vanished. I pick up my phone and start calling my idiot friend, Steven.
"Hello. Who is this?"Steven said on the other line.
"It's me, Thia." I said.
"Oh! Thia! What's up?" he greeted me, happily.
"Look, Steven, I have no time to chit-chat with you." I said, getting nervous. "I know this is sudden and crazy but pack up your things and meet me at the airport."
"What?" He said, disbelievingly, thinking this was one of my pranks.
"Just do what as I say!" I ordered and cut the line.
"Wai-" He tried to say but I already hung up.
That's the end of Chapter 1! Hope you really like it! Please review! XD
