Chapter 1
The Powers Kick In
It all started when my crush, the man I was in love with, Chase, decided to tease me.
"Hey, Char, come here." He commanded, his upper left arm flexing, showing his bulk off to me, hoping to impress me. With my small, dainty figure and rugged, untrusting, unique special personality, I wasn't buying it.
"What do you want Chase? Are you going to ruin my day, as usual, or is this important?"
"I just want to try something." He whispered as sweetly as he could manage. He gently ran his hand down my side.
I snapped. Maybe it was all my anger and love towards him or maybe I'd just been bottling up too many feelings. The wind roared, as if it was angry. A large white tiger walked up, grumbling to me about how much it hated to see me snap. He glared at Chase, true anger plain on his face. I backed at least 50 feet away and calmed down my temper slowly. Then a large man walked up and put a long, sharp and deadly sword to my neck, wrapping his arm firmly around my waist. He leaned down, and I could hear the smirk in his voice.
"Miss me sweetie?" I immediately recognized the voice. I frowned and he continued. " Awww, I'm sorry, did I forget to tell you I was coming to visit?"
I turned around… and bit my uncle Ares hard on the neck. I bolted towards Chase, and leaped into his open arms, my four and a half foot frame almost trying to merge with his 6 and a half foot one. I shook in sadness, for I knew we would be separated. He whispered condolences into my ear, gently running his hands through my hair.
I cried into his chest, knowing I'd have to go with Ares to Mount Olympus. I smiled at Chase longingly before Untangling myself from his kind embrace and disappearing to appear again next to Uncle Ares. I scowled at Ares, and he grabbed my hand and trotted over to his large war horse.(Currently in the form of a red Ferrari.) The Horse (named Callibur)butted its head into my stomach and nuzzled my face, wanting me to pet it. I looked at Chase and he was truly unsettled by my leaving. I conveyed a message to him which sounded like this in his head.
"I'm sorry. Don't lose your temper. You will cause a disaster somewhere. You can't be angered, no matter what you do. I love you. Always remember that. And smile. They want you to. You are a god who is the son of Athena and Poseidon. I'm the daughter of Artemis and Zeus. That's why the wind was blowing and why the tiger walked up. I could understand what it was saying. I wanted you to come, but they wouldn't let me. I'm so sorry. Don't forget me."The last sentence was a whisper. I would miss him. I turned my back on him and into uncle Ares' chest. He smirked at Chase, giddy at his victory. I cried harder, knowing that would annoy Chase and Ares. Callibur pulled me onto his back, ripping my shirt with it. I smiled, noticing both Ares and Chase gawking at me. I flushed a dark crimson, and keeping my gaze away from my uncle and best friend, tried to cover my chest. Callibur trotted over to Ares, impatience to get back to his true home evident in his stride. Ares smirked smugly before swinging up into the saddle behind me. He wrapped his right arm around my waist and his gorgeous, yet agitating, smirk was directed towards Chase.
" Move. You're coming too" At Chase's and my Astonished looks he sighed angrily." What, did you think Daddy would separate you from your beloved, girlie. You. Mr. I-think-I'm-better-than-everyone-else. Hop onto my other horse. Let's go. Chop chop. We-" My uncle cut off when I kissed his cheek and snuggled into him.
" Thanks Uncle Ares." I smiled and he waited patiently for Chase to mount his other horse, Excalibur , before trotting off in the direction of the train station.
