Hey guys I'm back with chapter 2. I hope you are enjoying this and if there's anything I should change or fix please tell me. Thanks :).
Disclamer: I don't own PJ or HoO.
"Father?" I say and in return i get a smile and nod from him.
"Now in your mother's will she said that i gain custody over you when and if she died before you were married. Thats why i'm hear, however i do have some more news but thats going to best if i explain in the wagon, on our way." My father said to me.
I take a deep breath. "Yes sir." I say politely. "May i ask where we will be going to?"
"Of course child, we are going to Long Island, New York."
My eyes widen in shock and surprise. I've never been to New York, then again i've never been outside of South Carolina. I am quite excited to travel with my newly found father whom i love dearly even if I've never met him before today. So i quickly hop down from the bed i was lying in and grab the few things that the firemen managed to salvage from my burning house before it burned down completely.
"I'm ready to leave father." I say to him.
He chuckles at my eagerness to leave and holds the door open for me to stumble through.
Soon i'm sitting next to him on his wagon and were riding out of the small town that I grew up in.
Father turns to me and asks me a very interesting question that most definitely caught me off guard. "Now Amber what do you know about the Greek Gods?"
I look down at my hands. "Not much." I tell him. "Mother said that we were part greek and that our ancestors used to worship the Greek gods. She used to say that when people die they descend into the Underworld and they spend theirs with the dead and Hades the greek god of the dead. However she said that the gods were created to bering understanding to things in nature that we can not explain such as the sun rising in the morning and setting in the evening where the moon takes over, thats because the sun god Apollo is driving the sun chariot and he's meeting his twin sister Artemis who is goddess of the moon. Mother said that the twins watch over us ever day with out fail and that if we are ever lonely look up at the sky and talk to Apollo or Artemis because they are always listening." I tell him.
He raises an eyebrow at me. That seem like a lot more then just 'Not much'. Don't you think?
I laugh. "Yeah I guess so."
"What other gods do you know?" he asks me.
"Well..." I start. "there's Zeus, god of the sky. Poseidon god of the Sea. Hades, god of the dead. Zeus' wife Hera, goddess of marriage, family and motherhood. Demeter, goddess of agriculture. Athena goddess of wisdom, war, and useful crafts. Ares, god of war. Hestia, goddess of the hearth. Hephaestus, god of blacksmiths and fire. Hermes, god of travellers, thieves, and truths. Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty. Dionysus, god of wine. Artemis, goddess of the hunt, maidens and the moon. and finally there's her twin brother Apollo, god of Archery, music, poetry, healing and the sun." I finished listing everyone i know and looked over at my father however when he when to say something regarding what i had just said we were interrupted by a blinding light.
Once the light lessened enough for us to see I saw a boy about 14 with blonde hair, blue eyes and a muscular figure standing on the road in front of us. He must have recognised us because he opens his arms and starts to talk. "Hephaestus, How are you doing?"
"Apollo. Why are you here?" My father replied.
"Why, i come with a message from father." The blonde haired boy replied. "Zeus says that you have exceeded your aloud time with the child and you are to take her to camp immediately and let Chiron explain everything."
"Apollo you know very well that i can't do that immediately. I have not told her yet. She knows about us but she doesn't know that she is a demigod."
'A demigod' I think 'What are they talking about, wait if my father's name is Hephaestus and the other guy's name is Apollo. Father was asking me about the greek gods when Apollo arrived.' I gasp "Wait you are the greek gods aren't you?" I ask them.
Apollo smiles at me. "Why yes girl i am the fabulous Apollo and you child are Hephaestus' daughter. You are what is know as a demigod, part god and part mortal."
With that my head starts spinning but both gods don't notice me turning pale.
"So Apollo, why is Hermes not delivering this message. He's Zeus' messenger isn't he?" Hephaestus asks the other god.
"Indeed he is however Hermes is delivering a message to Hades."
And that was the last thing i heard before I hit my head on the floor of the wagon and go unconscious.
And that's it for chapter 2. Please let me know what you think.
