We stayed like that until my dad got home. When he came in and saw the window he freaked out. Annie and I finally came out from behind the table, when my dad saw us he ran to us and wrapped us both in a hug. After we got everything cleaned up, Dad, Annie, and I sat down and he explained what I was.
He and my mom met when he was in college. Since my mom is goddess of wisdom, she tends to hang around universities and libraries. They dated through the last semester of his senior year. When he graduated, Mom said she was moving to France and dumped him. Dad was heartbroken, until nine months later when he found me on his front step. He said I was in a silver basket with a note from my mom and a special bronze knife for me to use when I was ready.
When he was done with his story I sat there staring at him. Annie regarded me coldly. Then she began screaming at my dad, "Jesse have you gone crazy? We can't have this monster magnet near our baby! She has to go!" My dad looked up and softly said, "Annie, you're right." "WHAT!" I screamed, "What do you mean I have to go? Go where?" "There's a special place for kids like you," he said, "a camp outside of Manhattan where you learn to fight monsters and things like that. They'll take care of you Alexa."
