Chapter 19

That night I read the whole journal back and forth. Rick or Uncle Rick had been there every step of the way since the day I was born. He had come up with my name, heard my first word; battle, he even saw my first steps. He knew for a fact that I was different, he thought I was a special gift from god. Little did he know I was part god. My mom never told him who my dad was because he mainly wouldn't believe never believed in the demigod thing let alone that my mom fell for the god of war. But the further you get into the journal the darker it gets. Rick had snapped when mom died. He always wrote that was no way my mom would use drugs, she wouldn't risk losing me. Except he lost me, " an unfit guardian " as it was put to him. They thought his mental stability was lost after my moms death. After that he did what ever he could to find me. And when ever he didn't find me, well he killed them. This anger, paranoia, and longing about me and my mother only tells me one thing. He loved me and I killed him. The worst part is that he started to recover when I got back to him. At the end of the journal there was another picture of just me and my mom. She had her arms rapped around me with an ice cream cone in one hand and a flower in the other. I had an ice cream cone too but I was kissing my moms cheek. I don't remember it but I do remember the feeling. On the back of the picture it said, "first ice cream cone." Luke said,

" You read that all night. Did it help?"

" No matter what I believe something tends to mess with it and I end up questioning everything."

" I am sure one day all or some of it will make sense."

" The only thing that makes sense I'd you. And maybe Jess. But Nick he'll never make sense."

And I hear Nico yell,

" HEY! Why do you hate me."

" OH shut up you big girl! You just creep me out."

" But I ..."

" Luke where are we?"

" We are just entering Vegas."

" Great we will want to go to the MGM grande. It doesn't get more spontaneous than Vegas."

Nick says,

" Maybe Jess will find a new make out buddy. Or better yet get her mouth magically shut for good."

Jess says,

" And maybe you will get to be killed and have some father son time."

I turn to Jess and say,

" That was cold."

We pull into the parking lot and go inside. I walk up to the front desk and I say,

" Get me a meeting with Epimethus now."

" Sorry miss I have no idea what you are..."

" Shut up and tell him it's Ren"

She goes on her phone and talks to someone for a few minutes. Then said,

" Come this way."

We followed her through the casino and a little further. She said,

" Please place all weapon here."

We took off all of our weapons and set them down. Except for my bracelet. We walk in and Epimethus comes and gives me a hug. He says,

" Ren it has been along time since I last saw you. You have grown quite attractive."

"' And you look as the same as ever."

We took a seat and ate some cookies then he said,

" I figure you are here for my plate piece."

" Your brother figures correct considering that he told you. So what do you want me to do."

" Well I know you have heard of the hit show of mine, Melding with the gods."

" Sure,"

" Well my last camera crew came to a sudden dimise and I need a new one for this episode."

" You want us to be a camera crew."

" And guest star. Don' t worry you only have to go to the tenth floor."

" Why do you want us to do this?"

" I have monsters looking forward to this episode so go now."

We get our supplies and get into the elevator. At the fifth floor Jess says,

" This will be easy."

" No it won't, if anything it will be really bad."

We walk out and head for room that was given to us. I bust down the door and we go in. I see the most beautiful women I have ever seen. It had to be Aphrodite which ment the guy that was kissing her was my dad. Just to let you know this isn't something you want to walk in on. I see my dad pull up his hand ready to blow us up. I yell,

"Dad don't!"

He looks away from his mistress slut and says,

" Ren?"
