The Mistake

by Pluto's Grandkid

Macie, daughter of Macaria and Zagreus. All because Zues snooped around where he shouldn't have, she's a demigod now, with blood more potent for monsters to detect, she has to live and claim back godhood. Not to mention save her mother, now taken captive by a giant, can she do this with the help of her siblings and estranged father? Meanwhile her life is falling apart at seams?

3. Chapter 3

I woke up in a cold sweat, now in my bed, did nightmares like this normally happen for the mortal? Poor souls, I understand why Prometheus and Hestia gave pity to them with fire. My stupid memory kept it there, the nightmare, her loudest scream was the centerfold of my psyche.

My anger for the titan remained, and I swear on the river Styx, I would kill that titan, and if it ever got out it would kill it again. Right as I was cursing every giant ever brought into existence by Gaea, a voice rumbled, low, my father's.

"Meet my daughter, the goddess of the blessed life." I stomped my feet and howled, "No! I refuse! You're not my dad, I go by my mother, not you!" His sigil shone bright above my head, his stupid sigil. With the red glow it cast upon me.

By the time I was done stomping my feet they were red hot. My eyesight was blurry from the tears, and by the way people looked at me, my contacts had obviously fallen out. I didn't care, I didn't care that the plants around me were going up in flames. I cared that my father had the audacity to claim me instead of mom, I've never even met him. I looked at my new cabin mates, my siblings on the paternal side.

I scowled at them, at the thought of staying at our father's cabin, to put it simply, it sickened me. I regained my senses and walked inside the cabin, it smelt like wine. The place was decorated with bones, and wine bottles. I saw some very fine hunting knives and bows, I even stopped to admire them, and the skins I saw around the room. That's when one of my siblings entered the room.

"Hey goddess, I'm Dove, unfortunately dad didn't say your name, how may I address you?" Geez the people here were polite. "Just Macie, Dove, now where is our counselor, I wish to speak to him, then Chiron, for a quest." I waited for an answer when the counselor walked in.

"Hi," I faked a smile, "I see this is a nice place, but I want a quest, so if you don't mind, do you know where Chiron is?" He gave me a glare, duh. I wanted to just snap my fingers and take away his powers, but if I was to stay here, I had to make alliances, not burn bridges.
