Chapter One

If I strained my ears I could hear the thunder from the storm outside. It was strange, being loud enough to hear it from inside the school, but it is Columbus and they probably didn't bother "wasting" money on insulation. , my advanced algebra teacher, droned on about Pascal's triangle and something about expanding binomials and it all drew away in a tangle of rain and white noise as my mind drifted away.

In the front office

The door slams open and a man steps through. The man has long blonde hair, seems to be wearing armor, and is holding a giant hammer. He storms toward the front office, a red cape billowing behind him. An office worker stands to meet him.

"Hello sir, may I help you?"

"I demand to be shown to the mortal Brianna Reynen!" he booms.

"Sir, please calm down and maybe we can help you. Can you state your relation to her and why you wish to see her?"

"I have no need to explain myself to you mortal! She is of need to me and my kin and you will take me to her NOW!" The glass shudders from the vibrations of his voice and heads poke out from rooms nearby. The man steps out and asks again, a call this time that echoes down the hall and nearly shattering the glass with the force of it. Nobody moves but then a girl, a girl with long straight brown hair and hazel eyes hidden by green contacts, steps out from the crowd.

"She's just down the hall." she calls out with nary a quiver in her slightly raised voice. She didn't seem to care about all the stares that she was given, everyone astounded that she would possibly condemn a fellow peer.

"Will you take me?" The man asks. She hesitates but nods. Then she turns and leads the way to one of the rooms a little more then halfway down the hall. 's room.

I snapped back to reality as harsh pounding sounds at the door. I glanced at the clock, 11:23, bare minutes since I spaced out. A voice rattled the door.

"Open the door!", a male voice called, "I require a mortal in your care!" through the windows I caught sight of silver metal and bright red fabric and then someone had opened the door and a man, no, a giant!, stepped through the doorway. In his shadow I could see Marion Ette dwarfed by the man in front of her. What was she doing here?

"Ma'am, I ask for one in your care.", the man's electric blue eyes sparked strangely, "Would you be so kind as to show me Brianna Reynen?" I froze. I could feel everyone's eyes on me. Who was this man? Why did he want me?

"Brie?", called, "Do you know this man?", but by that point the had already moved past her. As he stood above me I slowly stood up feeling eyes cataloguing my movements and I unconsciously straightened my shoulders. I barely stood chest high next to this goliath in front of me as I opened my mouth to ask a question he stuck out his right arm and shouted,

"Mjolnir!" I froze and glanced to the side, mouthing 'molmir?' at the girl next to me. I adjusted my purse on my hip and glanced back at the man as he stood patiently, arm outstretched. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye as Amanda frantically waved at me. I turned toward her and she mouthed something at me. I shook my head and frowned. I could never read lips well. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her pencil to scribble something down. As she held it up for me to read I heard a crash and as I finished reading I looked up to see a giant hammer land in the man's hand. I stumbled back as he reached for me but he easily scooped me up and my last thought before we were blasted through the ceiling was 'Thor'.
