Chapter one
Madeline
My name is Madeline. I am 16 years old and I have black hair so long that it reaches the small of my back and emerald green eyes. I am a sophomore at Goode high school in manhattan, NY. I love ancient Greek myths. I never knew my real mother or father. Or even my own last name.
My morning started out great (hint: that was sarcasm)
I had the weirdest dream last night. There was a mother in a hospital bed smiling down at her newborn twins one boy and one girl.( I could tell by the blankets they were wrapped in) they had black hair and emerald green eyes. The mother, who had beautiful eyes that changed colors in the light and long brown hair, looked so happy. Then all of the doctors walked out of the room as if in a trance. The woman didn't notice. Then there was a blinding light, I knew that if I were there in person I would have been reduced to a pile of ashes in mere seconds,the mother shielded her children's eyes then adverted hers. When the flash died down there was a man standing there. He had to be the children's father, for he had the same black hair and green eyes as them. He was wearing a hawaiian shirt and bermuda shorts with sailing shoes. He must have been a fisherman because he had a deep tan and strong arms. He had creases around his eyes which meant he smiled a lot, but now he wasn't smiling. He looked as if he were here to give very unfortunate news.
The woman looked up at him smiling but it quickly disappeared as she took in his expression.
"what's wrong?" she questioned.
" they cannot stay together,they are to powerful." he said sadly. "one will be taken to a foster home. If my older brother found out that I sired not one but two mortal heroes after our oath, he'd surely be angry. "
"but didn't he sire a daughter just a few years ago?" the woman asked him desperately.
"yes but still, it's hard to believe that my little brother kept to the oath."
He explained."I will be back in the morning to get one of the children."
"NO! It's not fair! you come in here, not even asking their names, and tell me I can only keep one!?! Do you think that's fair!?! No it's not!" the woman cried.
"I'll be back tomorrow" he said as he disappeared with another flash. The doctors walked back in to her shielding the children's eyes and crying. She soon fell asleep holding her babies with her tears drying on her cheeks.
The next morning, she woke up with just enough time to adjust her babies and look away before the man flashed in.
"I've always wanted a boy, take the girl. I know I'll see her again someday."
The mother said handing him the child.
"what's her name?" he asked.
"her name ? Her name is Madeline."she replied
"and his?" he questioned looking at the still sleeping baby boy.
"his name is-"
I woke up in a cold sweat.
It was just a dream. it was just a dream. I kept telling myself. But was it really just a dream? I was jerked from my thoughts by my foster mom, carol, shouting at me to help get the younger kids get ready for school. I got dressed and started Getting the kids ready for the first day of school.
When I got to school there was a new student I've never seen her before so she must have Just moved here from somewhere she had along blonde hair curled like a princesses with grey eyes. so I walked up to her. She gasped when she saw me.
"hey, is this your first day here?"I asked her.
"yes," she replied." I'm looking for my boyfriend.he goes here"
"ok I know everyone here maybe I can help you. What's his name?"
"Percy Jackson. You know, you really look like him. A lot . Like you could be twins." she told me.
"thanks? I get that a lot. Hes in my first class. Let's look at your schedule to see who you have first."I said.
"oh you've got Mr. Blofis too."I told her.
"Percy's stepdad?"she asked.
"really?" I asked a bit suprized. I mean Percy and mr. Blofis had been close and once mr.blofis called Percy 'son'. I mean he called everyone 'son, but I felt as if he really meant it.
Right as we were about to walk to class, Percy ran up.
"Annabeth!" he shouted."wait."
"Percy! Hi." annabeth said, smiling."we were just about to walk to Mr.blofis' class."
"oh really?"he asked "who's this?"
"seriously?" I said "you still don't know me? Even after I was in your fifth grade class, your third grade class and your eighth grade class and now here for the past year"
"really?" he sounded surprised."I was kicked out of a lot of schools"
"I know I was too."I said.
"ok, well bells about to ring. Wouldn't look good if I was late to my own stepfathers class. Let's go."
When we got there I was standing next to Percy, who was standing next to Annabeth. When mr.blofis saw me he gasped. Once he regained his composure he told us to sit down. When every one was silently working, he called me and Percy into the hall.
