Please enjoy and peace~!
After I had so graciously invited Percy, Annabeth, and Grover into my home, my mom led me to her room to have a talk.
"Who are those kids? Chrys you know how I feel about visitors!" My mom looked out the door and slammed it shut. "
"Mom, they aren't kids I picked up off the street." I held my arms behind my head, "Well more like in the apartment building." I muttered.
She looked at me wide-eyed, "Oh just great Chrys! We have to get rid of them now! Oh you don't know how horrible this is!" My mom ran her hand through her hair.
"This is horrible? Mom I just got attacked by some effing old lady!" I pulled at the corners of my mouth, revealing my teeth, "She had fangs! Fangs that were yellow and sharp claws, oh and don't forget the wings!" I said in a show host voice.
My mom began to panic and start her hyperventilating, "Oh this is just so damn great Chrys!" My mom gripped me by the shoulders and began to shake me, "They found you and now they'll never stop!"
Her eyes pierced through me and her grip on me began to sting, "Mom, you need to calm down. Mom release me and then we'll talk." I said very slowly trying to pry off her hands.
She removed her hand from my forearm and looked embarrassed, "Sorry Chrys. Oh so sorry! I just never thought this day would come—and those children!" My mom gripped me by the shoulders again but gently, "Did they help you in any way? Oh gosh!"
I watched as my mother nibbled on her fingernails, "Um…Yeah sorta. Percy jumped over me with this big sword and went like slash, slash, poof!" I opened and closed my hands to imitate the poofing.
My mom smacked her forehead and cussed under her breath, "Darn." My mom held her hand under my chin and made me look at her pretty dark brown eyes, just like mine. "Chrys listen to me honey. Your father did leave us a couple of months after you were born but know that he had a very good reason for doing so."
I raised my eyebrow and scowled, "What does that man have to do with anything? I don't give a damn about him."
My mom brought her hands to mine and held them tightly but motherly, "Chrys don't say that. Your father has a lot to do with this and I think that it's best to find out now."
She caressed my hair and held me close. Her long black hair enveloped me as I rested my head on her chest. Somehow, even if I was having a moment with my mom, I felt that the only thing I had in common with her was her looks. I had the same shining night black hair. Her eyes were brown but mine's were a tad bit lighter with a hint of golden.
What made us different were many things. For one, her voice was like a nightingale's but mine's was proud and prideful yet had a hint of warmth. Her eyes gave off this beautiful and relaxing look but mine's didn't have the same effect. Instead I was the pillow people wanted to lean on but were afraid I'd burn them with my glory. Her smile made people feel happier yet mine made others confident and strong.
"Aren't you going to tell me his mysterious identity?" I murmured in her hair. She patted my back and hummed 'You Are My Sunshine'.
She shook her hair, "I can't really tell you right now. I'm afraid that your friend will have to tell you all about that. Later, much, much later." She held me by the shoulders and gave me one of her happy-go-lucky smiles, "Speaking of friends,"
I watched as my mom opened the door to reveal eavesdroppers. Percy and Grover laid spread out on the floor from falling. Behind them were Annabeth and Gizz who just rolled their eyes feeling like the dominant half of the group.
"Who wants cookies?" My mother chimed and trotted to the kitchen. I stared at the two boys and girls at the doorway with confusion.
"How's the eavesdropping thing going for ya, Percy?" I pretended to be attending to my nails, which were actually dirty. I walked across the room and stepped over their bodies with confidence. "The word around here is that you guys know my father. Know anything about that?" I said acting like a Mafia leader.
Percy and Grover got up but soon after Grover decided to trot over to help my mom. Percy scratched his head, "Wait what?"
Annabeth rolled her eyes but then she hid her face behind her hair and I saw her sneak a smile, "Seaweed Brain don't you ever listen?"
Gizz walked over to me while Percy and Annabeth were starting an argument, "You okay? What's up with the sudden question about your dad?" She finally noticed the rubber band in her hair and pulled it out from all its tangles. She handed it to me with a grin, "Oh and this is yours right? Sorry about my accident."
I smiled at her, "Thanks." I murmured, "I don't know, I mean my mom is like talking about how "great" this whole bringing Percy and his friends over and then BOOM! She starts talking about my father and how it's related to the old lady and-"
Gizz gave out a giggled and smirked at me, "Old lady? How come no one told me about an old lady?"
I punched her playfully, "Stupid. If it weren't for Percy we would've been skinned by some molesting granny." She started to laugh and actually wiped a tear from her eye. I rolled my eyes and stared at the heated conversation that Percy and Annabeth were having. "They're so into each other. I bet they're dating but just doing this for a good show."
Gizz leaned close to my ear, "Well if it's for entertainment then its working." I nodded and stared at the two, suddenly remembering what Gizz said to Percy earlier.
"Hey what were you going to say to Percy earlier? You were talking about how he was like someone but then you fainted." I pouted in disappointment that I didn't know something.
Gizz shuffled uncomfortably, "Oh…Did I say something to him? I forgot." She gave a guilty grin to me so I just shoved the idea off. It probably was just something stupid anyways.
"Cookies~!" My mom called, "Oh my Grover you sure know your way with a whisk." We all entered the kitchen with nonchalant faces. "Oh kids these days are so cool." My mom rushed over and pinched both of Percy's cheeks. I slapped my forehead in embarrassment as I watched the amused look on his face. Annabeth looked on the verge of a laughing fit.
Gizz nudged my side and gestured at Grover's legs. I stared down at the teenage boy and instead of human legs there were furry little donkey legs! I screamed and pointed at his legs, "Oh my shit! Mom do you see that? Holy mother of crap! You're a donkey! A donkey human thing!"
Everyone in the room stared down at Grover's legs with un-amused faces. My mom narrowed her eyes once again, "Sweetie do you know how rude it is to confuse a satyr with a donkey? Grover is half goat and half human. Dear, didn't you pay attention in your Greek Mythology class?"
I continued to stare at his legs and started stuttering, "T-this is normal? W-what else is normal around here?"
Everyone in the room looked at me with unconvinced eyes. Gizz sighed and decided to take a seat on the couch. I watched as everyone looked uneasy, "Well to start things off, you don't listen much do you?" Annabeth smiled at me lifting her Yankees cap to show her amazing grey eyes, "I said welcome to the world of Greek Gods for a reason. Hello, you're a demigod. Daughter of a Greek God."
I gapped and shook my head trying to shake the idea away. This was fake. They were fake. My mother stepped forward and nodded with a tense smile, "Darling, you belong with them. You're different than normal girls. You're, much, much beautifier."
My world began to spin around like it had this morning and yet, it seemed to sink in. I was special. This would explain for the dyslexia and ADHD that made me feel retarded. I fainted in my mom's arms but the last words I heard were from Gizz's mouth, "Glow Chrys. Glow like a flower."
So how was that everyone? Good? Horrible? Or possibly just boring? Well either way thank you for reading and please stay tune for the next chapter~! Thank you so very much and I am very excited to hear some comments from you folks.
