I've been nursing this idea for some time now, ever since the game inFamous came out

I really hope you enjoy this

It was a dark and stormy night. The screams could only be heard if you listened carfully.

The moment the baby was born, lightning struck it. The two figures weren't worried. The baby was, after all, a daughter of the Lightning God.

Lightning surged through the tiny figure's veins. Bolts came out of her fingers. Her eyes flickered. She was a child of electricity.

The man smiled down at the baby, but that smile disapeared when he saw the woman. Her face was pale and beded with sweat. She was breathing heavilly.

"I'm afraid I will not make it." She croaked.

"Yes, you will. Do not worry, you are strong." said the man. On the outside he was acting confident, but on the inside he was extremely worried.

The woman shook her head, "You and I both know I won't survive. I do love you though. Please take care of our daughter."

"No..." the man whimpered.

"Find somewhere where the baby can be raised properely. Please, for me." she said. These words were her last, for her breathing stopped and she lay silently in her bed.

The man looked at her sadly, but he did not cry. He did not betray any emotion. He simply watched as Hermes carried her soul to Hades.

"I am sorry, Zeus," Said Hermes sadly, "But it is fate. Be happy you have a daughter, though." and he nodded toward the baby. "What is her name?"

Zeus thought for a moment, then said, "Sophie." and he knew that this would be the girl's name. Sophie. It had a nice ring to it.

Hermes nodded. "That is a fine name. I'm sure she will make a good hunter."

Zues looked up. "Hunter?"

"You promised Artemis, remember?" said Hermes sadly. "At the age of twelve, Sophie must pledge herself to Artemis as a hunter."

Zeus nodded. "Yes, I remember."

"Well, goodbye then, Lord Zeus. I must be off. There are many more souls to carry before the night is over. I wouldn't want to be late. Hades gets extremely angry if I linger in one place for too long." said Hermes. He disappeared and left Zeus to himself.

"What will I do without you, Maria?" He muttered

"Hey, Sophie! Come here!" Someone yelled.

Sophie shot one arrow, blew her jet-black hair out of her face, wiped sweat off of her forehead, then turned.

A figure clad completely in black leather was calling her over. Sophie smiled. "Sure, just a sec Thalia!"

She fetched the electric arrows she was using, and then jogged over. "What's up?" she asked.

"Lad Artemis said she needed you." said Thalia.

Sophie frowned. What could Artemis want?

Thalia must've seen her puzled face, because she said, "Artemis wouldn't tell me why she needed you. She just said that it was important."

"Ok, thanks then. I'll be off." She said politely and walked away.

"Wait!" She heard Thalia say.

Sophie turned and sighed, afraid she knew what was coming. In a completely uninterested tone, she said, "What?"

Thalia cleared her throat, "Uh, well... The rest of the Hunters and I may have had too much to drink at that party yesterday, and-"

"You blew out the fuseboxes in the cars again, didn't you?" she said.

Thalia smiled sheepishly and said, "Yeah. And-"

"You need me to recharge them, don't you?"

"Yup." said Thalia, "Pretty much."

"Whatever. I'll get right on it." said Sophie.

Thalia smiled, "Thanks, I owe you one."

"Ten." Sophie corrected.

Thalia laughed. "Yeah."

Ok, I know it's extremely short, but this is just the prolouge. It's here to introduce the characters and story. Not to be the longest chapter ever. Please don't bug me to update if you think it's good. I'm going to update at my own pace.

Please review.
