I grabbed the cloak from my closet, and put it on quickly. I hoped that nobody would call me or look for me while I was gone. I climbed out of the window, and walked towards the nearest town. It started sprinkling lightly. I looked ahead. It was around a mile walk from home till I got out of Olympus, city of gods.

I decided to make my voyage shorter by asking a man for a ride. He gladly took me in, seeing how beautiful I was. I had long blonde hair, with dark brown eyes. My hair came from my mother, Hera, goddess of marriage and birth, and I had my dark eyes from my father, Zeus, the famous god of gods. My voyage was cut in half because of the lift. I thanked the kind man graciously for the favor.

I stood in front of the gates of the Titans, sworn enemies of the Olympians I came here to find my grandfather, Cronus. I wanted to spend time with him for a while because I barely saw him. I also didn't want to listen to my dad arguing with the gods while he was in a conference with them.

"Hey. There is my little goddess." Cronus said with a wide grin on his face.

"I'm not that little anymore grandpa." I replied.

"I know, I know. So, is your father here with you? I haven't seen him since the incident."

"Actually, I kinda sorta like snuck out to come here."

His facial expression turned from glad to grieved. You see my father and grandfather were always fighting with each other. Well, Dad and his brothers overthrew my grandfather from the throne. Now, my Dad is ruler of Olympus and my grandfather is ruler of the Titans.

We talked for a while about how my family was doing, and about school. I loved hanging out with my grandfather for one reason. He didn't expect something from me. I had a great time, until I noticed that my grandfather was worried about something.

"What are you worried about?" I asked.

"I'm worried that your father will come here and take you away for ever You know the law."

"Well, it would be my fault not yours." I added

I looked off in the distance. Trying to see what my father was doing. I focused harder. I saw that he was angry and walking away from home. He seemed to be focused on one thing, to get me.

"Oh no." I said.

"What's wrong?" my grandfather asked with a worried expression on his face.

"It's my Dad. He is coming. I got to go now."

"How do you know that he is comming?"

"Long story short. I have developed my powers, so I know what a person is feeling like and what they are doing if I focus hard enough."

"But your powers don't come in until you are twenty, and you are only fifteen."

"Ya I know. Just don't tell anyone. Promise."

"I promise. Now go, before your father gets here." he said.

"Alexandra stay!" my father said furiously as he entered the living room.

I ran out the door and continued on until I got out of the city. I looked behind me. Nobody was there. I focused on what my dad was doing. He was angrier than before and yelling at my grandfather for no reason. He had just left his house and was chasing me again. I ran faster. It started raining harder.

Think, Alex. Think. What can you do to stop Dad? I looked around me. All I could see was rain falling lightly. Water. Yes that's it. Poseidon taught me new tricks you can do with water. You can fight dad. Of course you are not going to win, but it might get me in less trouble. My Dad might even forget why I was in trouble.

I stopped running and waited for my dad. He finally caught up with me. He was still angry. He was about to speak when I took out my sword that I got for my last birthday. I always kept it with me for protection. He looked at me and saw that I was going to challenge him. He smirked at me and took out his sword also because he never refused a good challenge.

We charged towards each other. Each move was both fast and accurate, yet we blocked each others moves. All you could hear was the clanking of metal. I always loved to fight, and sometimes I even used my magic in order to distract them and win. I made the water falling down as rain collect up into a huge wave. I ran towards the wave and jumped over it. My father looked at the wave confused about what was going to happen. I pushed my hands towards him and the giant wave moved towards him carrying everything in its way with it. My Dad's eyes opened wide as he saw the giant wave. He was in awe as he saw how my powers had improved.

The wave crashed towards him and he fell to the ground. I laughed at him because I knew he was going easy on me and would never let that happen in a real fight. He sat up and laughed with me. We continued walking towards Olympus together. I tried reading his feelings, but he had so many feelings that I couldn't catch up with them. He was angry, happy, amazed, and much more. As we entered the courthouse, which was also where I lived, he centered on one feeling, anger.

"What were you thinking? Why did you sneak out to go see your grandfather? You know it's against the law." he said calmly

"First of all, I think that law is stupid. I should be able to see my grandfather whenever I want." I replied louder than usual.

"Well, it's still the law and you still have to obey the law." he yelled.

"Well maybe you should make a new law that prohibits me from leaving my room and that I can't see anybody not even you." I yelled back.

"Go to your room!" he yelled.

"No." I said.

"Go to your room!" he yelled so loud that thunder broke out.

"That doesn't scare me anymore. Last time that scared me, I was four."

We stared at each other with anger in each others eyes, neither of us blinked. It was as if lightning had collided with lightning.

My mother entered the courthouse entrance with a concerned look on her face.

"What's going on?" she said calmly "I can hear you all the way from the courtroom."

"Good." I said " I won't have to repeat myself."

The glare continued until my dad finally backed down. I was known to make people see my way no matter what. I smirked towards him, and started towards the courtroom to face Poseidon, Hades, and Hermes. There were three other seats open. I knew one was for my mom and dad, but was curious about the third seat. That was until my grandfather, Cronus, entered the courtroom. Poseidon and Hades had an aggravated look on their faces, when Cronus entered the courtroom. I knew they hated their father, but that wasn't a reason why I shouldn't be able to visit him. My dad, mom and grandfather took a seat and started deliberating what they were going to do with me breaking the law.

Hermes finally stood up. My father let out a deep breath. My mom bowed her head as if she didn't want me to see her face or she was ashamed of me. Poseidon had a sad look on his face as if a kid's puppy has just died. Hades as always didn't care, and Cronus felt guilty. As our eyes met, I nodded my head to tell him it was not his fault but mine. I looked towards Hermes.

"Any last words the young goddess might want to say to the gods before the judgment" Hermes said.

"I think all of you overheard my conversation with my father earlier. All I have to say is that it wasn't
Cronus' fault, but mine. I was the one that snuck out of Olympus, so please Cronus don't feel guilty."

"How can you possibly know how Cronus is feeling you fool? You are but only a child yet." Hades said.

"I just know." I simply stated looking towards Cronus and giving him a nod.

"Let's just get back to the matter. Hermes continue please." my dad said.

"The gods need to discuss the matter. If you will, retreat to your room please."

"I think it's time." Hera whispered to my father.

"No, she has much to learn. I will discuss it though with the other gods though."

I walked towards my room quietly. I then lay on my bed, waiting for the call. I had broken the law and I knew it, now it was up to my father to find my punishment. However, whose fault was it truly? My fault because I visited my grandfather or theirs because they keep passing stupid laws that didn't even make sense.

I wanted to do something different in my life like fall in love and visit the mortal world, but I knew it was impossible. Nobody would accept it. I only wished that I was like my brother, Hercules, he had the best life in my point of view. He got to live with mortals all his life, fall in love with Megara, or Meg for short. He even got to choose whether or not he would live here or not. It wasn't fair, if only I had a life like him.I heard a faint knock on the door and my mother walked in.

"It's time." she said.

She then turned and started walking towards the courtroom. I followed her. Hermes stood up when I entered the the courtroom. Once my mother was at her seat, all the gods stood up.

"The gods have decided..." Hermes said.

Thank you for reading my story. It was inspired initially when I found out that my name meant Protector of Mankind. I started writing the story late at night and the next day I saw a movie called Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning King (I think that's the full name of the movie). It was really good and actually encouraged me to write more about this story. Hopefully you could help me by telling my some do's and don'ts in this story. Tell me what I did wrong and what you liked about my story. Here is a little sneak preview on the second chapter.

I turned and started walking towards the door. I looked back once, to only see my father's expression. He was sad, and had a pained expression on his face. This was not good.

Love, Confusion, Sadness, and Happiness comes in the next chapter. Just wait and see.

Thank you so much once again for reading my review.

Love,

Alex
