Duncan

"Duncan do you remember in class when we talked about Ancient Greece?" Cody asked.

Duncan paused and tried to think about this. He was probably high when the teacher taught them this. He shook his head.

Cody sighed. "You know what gods are right?"

Duncan nodded. "Like Thor and Loki from those, Avenger movies?"

Cody shook his head. "I'm talking about Zeus, Apollo, etc."

Duncan shrugged. "Briefly I guess."

"Anyway gods, monsters, they're all real. These gods rule the world, the monsters are enemies of the gods that try to kill kids like you." Cody explained.

Duncan didn't like how Cody was explaining this like Duncan was some toddler. He may be delinquent but he wasn't a moron.

"What do you mean kids like me?" Duncan asked.

Cody sighed. "Duncan, what do you know about your parents?"

Duncan frowned. He didn't like talking about them. They were his weakness, and he couldn't afford weakness.

"My mom died in car crash, and my dad skipped town before I was born." Duncan sighed.

Cody shook his head. "Your dad didn't just leave, he was forced to. Duncan your father was a god. That makes you a demigod."

Duncan paused and took this in. Duncan burst out into laughter.

"I change my mind Cody, you actually are pretty funny." Duncan smirked.

Cody frowned. "Duncan this isn't a joke."

Duncan raised an eyebrow. He had a hard time believing that he was a child of a god. He was a delinquent that lived in a trailer park. Half the time he was high off his ass.

"Look dude, I'm tired and I want to go home, see you later." Duncan said.

He turned and prepared to walk off but Cody chased after him.

"You aren't safe out there Duncan. Monsters will come for you." Cody warned.

Duncan had to admit he was scared at the thought. However he wouldn't let this dweeb know that.

"I can handle myself Cody." Duncan snarled.

With that the green haired boy left the room.

Duncan lived an on hour away from school. He got kicked out of the school near his trailer so he had to go to Massadonia High. However with all the weird shit that had happened to him today he was thinking of changing schools.

On the walk home he couldn't help but think about what happened. The monster, Cody telling him he was the son of a god. He needed some weed to calm him down and help him forget the whole ordeal.

Eventually Duncan made his way to Rainy Days, a small trailer park where he and his aunt lived. Rainy Days was filled with heroin addicts, prostitutes, and hippies, however Duncan called the place home. This was the closest thing to home he would ever get.

He opened the door to his trailer and sighed in relief when he got in. He was greeted by the familiar smell of his aunt's cigarettes.

"Aunt Josie!" Duncan called.

A blond haired woman with sun tanned skin walked over to him. She looked Duncan up and down.

"You smell like weed." She snarled.

Duncan smirked. "You smell like bad choices."

She couldn't help but smirk and take a seat on the tiny couch. "How was school Duncan?"

He shrugged. "Fine Aunt Josie. How was your day?"

She sighed. "Margret came over again talking about how her husband keeps cheating on her. You remember Margret right?"

Duncan had no idea who Margret was, but he knew it was better to just act like he did.

"How was school?" She asked.

Duncan paused. He couldn't tell her that he had to kill a monster today. It was better just to say nothing at all.

"It was fine." Duncan said quietly.

She smiled and nodded. "Stay out of trouble, your mom wanted you to be something great. More than we ever were." She said sadly.

Duncan's stomach dropped. He didn't like talking about his mom. Talking about it made him vulnerable. It made him think of how hurt he truly was. Before Duncan could respond the earth shook. Duncan and his aunt yelped as they struggled to regain footing.

"What the hell was that?" She asked.

Before he could respond a loud crack was heard. Duncan looked up and gasped at what he saw. Some gigantic figure ripped the roof right off his trailer. Duncan gulped when he saw what had it. It was a ten foot tall humanoid beast, with the head of a bull. Duncan heard stories about it.

"A Minotaur." He gulped.

"Aunt Josie run!" He screamed.

Duncan and his aunt took off in a sprint, desperately trying not to get crushed by the beast. The Minotaur roared, and with surprisingly quick movements swiped Josie straight into another trailer. The woman screamed in pain as she roughly hit the metal door. Duncan stopped running and ran back to his aunt.

"Aunt Josie are you okay?" He asked.

She nodded. "I'm fine."

Her eyes widened when she saw something behind them. "Duncan run!"

Duncan spun around and gasped. The Minotaur's foot was coming down right above his head.

Sorry it took so long to update, the next chapter we'll see some other characters.
