Serena's POV
"I love you Daniel. But I can't stay. My mother will kill you!" The girl with the ivory hair said to a boy with the same colored hair, but with big, chocolate brown eyes.
"I know. But I'll leave before she gets here" He said. Then the front door flew open.
"MOM! NO!" She screamed as the woman with teeth as sharp as razors and hair that was flying everywhere grabbed Daniel and threw him into the wall. Her mother looked at the girl with evil red eyes.
"It was for your own good" the woman growled as the girl ran over to Daniel.
"Daniel?" She whispered.
"Serena" He croaked. She smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek. His eyes were slowly closing, and his hand, which Serena was squeezing tightly, lost all strength.
"Daniel?" She whispered.
"DANIEL!" I screamed sitting straight up in bed. Sweat plastered my hair to my forehead and my breathing was ragged. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. I looked around and remembered that after Hades told us the plan, he sent us to some rooms to get to bed. I looked at the clock on my phone. 2:32. I sighed and quietly got out of bed. It was cold, so I threw on a black bathrobe and some slippers. I slipped out into the kitchen and opened the fridge door (Yes. They have a kitchen. Even the god and goddess of the Underworld have to eat!) I closed it, when I remembered that I'd have to stay here if I did. I still grabbed a soda.
"Serena? Darling, what are you doing out here?" Persephone asked, sitting down next to me.
"Couldn't sleep. Got hungry" I said, simply. She smiled.
"Well. You shouldn't be drinking soda right before bed" She said. I smiled. She was more motherly than my real mother.
"It's alright. I'm not going to drink it. I'm saving it for when I actually am" I said. She looked at me.
"You want to stay here?" She asked quietly. I nodded.
"You'll never be able to go back you know. Or you can pull a fast one like me" She said. I smiled at her.
"Yeah, but I'd have to stay with my real mother" I said.
"Or you could prove yourself worthy and get your siren powers stripped and become a half-blood" Persephone said quickly and quietly.
"What? I can do that? Why didn't you tell me before? I would have done it at birth!" I said, jumping up.
"Yes…you can so that. But I didn't tell you because you'd have to give your life. You'd be born as a siren, but die a half-blood" She said. My heart sank. I sat back down.
"I'm sorry, Serena" She said.
"I'm still doing it" I said. She looked at me like I was crazy.
"What?" I asked.
"You can't do it! You'll die!" She said. I shrugged.
"Maybe I won't. I might live. There's probably a slim chance of me being able to live" I said.
"Yes! There is a slim chance, but it has only been done by one other person, ever! She's been dead for hundreds of years though" Persephone said.
"Well. Isn't that convenient"
