Alli Sanders and the Lost Magic

by demigodpower

Alli Sanders is a demigod daughter of a Greek god. She is called on a small quest to help the goddess of magic retrieve what has been lost. Based on Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Heroes of Olympus.

I'm sitting in science class, the last period of the day. Opening my notebook, I see a picture of my best friend Cassie, my other friend Logan, and me, standing in front of the lava climbing wall at camp, after we had successfully scaled it without scorching ourselves. I missed camp, and my friends. Last summer, we had gone on a quest to defeat Tityus, a giant son of the earth goddess Gaea, who was trying to take over the world. Confusing? That's just the life of a typical demigod. Yeah, that's what I am. A demigod, or half-blood. My mom's a mortal, and my dad's Poseidon, the god of the sea. That gives me some power over water and a bunch of other cool stuff. And the fact that I can talk to horses. Huh. Weird.

The bell finally rang, signaling the end of school. I sighed with relief. Like most demigods, I had dyslexia and ADHD, which made it hard for me to concentrate in class. But I was doing pretty well. I had a B-minus average and only gotten suspended twice. Maybe three times. Maybe. I headed to my locker and got out my stuff. One of my other friends from camp, Rochelle, daughter of Athena, caught up to me.

"Hey!" Rochelle said brightly. She's pretty perky and loud for an Athena child, but she was one of the smartest girls in our grade. "Don't you wish it was summer already? I just can't wait to go back to camp! School is so boring. I already finished all my homework for the next two weeks!" That's Rochelle. She's such an overachiever. She's in Honors classes, and NJHS, which I don't what it is or what it stands for, and a bunch of other boring extracurricular stuff.

"How did you-never mind," I laughed. "I don't get how you have time for everything that you do. You're, like, a super human." I smiled at her knowingly.

"I am a super human, silly!" Rochelle grinned. "I know I can just be a year-rounder at camp, but school is exciting! I have lived at camp for five years before came to public school, so it's a change."

I grabbed my coat, then slammed my locker shut. We walked toward the door. Outside, it was snowing heavily. It was the middle of December, almost Christmas. It had been snowing for three days straight, the snow was almost three feet high, and oh joy! I get to walk home!

"Bye, Ro." I yelled as she went to ride her bus.

"See you, Alli!"
