Chapter 1 

The Lotus Hotel

     My name is Caterina di Angelo. My sister is Bianca di Angelo and my brother is Nico di Angelo. My sister was killed about two years ago. She died on her first mission. Bianca died saving the other people on the mission. She was very brave. I haven't seen Nico since he came to give me the news.
     Our mom was killed by Zeus. He was trying to kill us. Hades, our dad, wasn't supposed to have us. Zeus thought that we were all going to turn out like our half brother, Hitler. (Great brother to have right? Well just because he grew up to be a big jerk doesn't mean that we are going to!) When Zeus tried to kill us he didn't exactly have an elaborate plan. He simply blasted our apartment. Hades barely had time to protect us from it.
     After that Hades stuck us in the Lotus Hotel. He promised to pick us up soon. At least that's what he told my siblings. I was 19 at the time. (The only reason I lived that long was the fact that I was still living with my parents. What monster could get past a god?) Hades decided that I was old enough to know the truth. He explained everything. From our being demi gods to why our mom had been killed. He told me that we would be in here a little while. He said that the second the war was over he would pick us up and bring us home. (I'm sure you can imagine how unsafe Italy was during World War II.)
     Well I believed him. And I went right on believing until we where finally retrieved. I filled my siblings heads with lies through out our stay. I told them our mom was killed during a bombing. I told them that our Dad would be coming back any second. They believed me. When we were finally out of the hotel it felt like it had only been a week. But then I saw a newspaper on the ground. The newspaper said that it was 3/17/2003.
     I could not believe my eyes. I stared at the paper for what felt like an our. This was crazy! We should be dead. Or at least old! I remember looking over at my dad and asking, "Is this a rib?" He shook his head. "Look around. How could I be faking all this?" That was when I noticed everything. Nothing was what it had looked like before. I might not have seen the area around the hotel for very long, but I knew it hadn't looked anything like this. Do you know what the worst part is? My dad wiped my siblings memories. He took away everything before we were in the Lotus Hotel.
     At that point I was freaking out. I felt so betrayed and so confused. He had promised to come get us. Why had he taken so long? Why had he taken their memories? Why aren't we dead? Why do we look the same? Does this mean all our friends are dead? My head was spinning. I had a thousand and five questions. I also had a feeling that none of them would be answered.
     My dad took me aside. He told me that he was going to give Nico and Bianca to a new family. He told me that I was too old to be adopted so I couldn't go with them. Then he handed me a ring. The ring was silver with a black stone in it. He showed how to push down the stone of the ring to turn it into a sword and how to push the same stone on the hilt of the sword to turn into back into a ring.
     I was then told that I could follow my siblings and get a place near their house. I was about to agree to it when he informed me that monsters would constantly be chasing me. I wouldn't be able to stay under the monster's radar as well as Nico and Bianca would. I decided to go my own way. I wasn't going to be selfish and follow them. It would just put them in more danger. I made the two of them promise not to tell anyone about me. (I didn't want people to constantly be asking them where I was or why I had left. They wouldn't know. And what if some monster or other demigod got mad at me and then ended up taking it out on them? How would I forgive myself?) After that Hades handed me a wallet stuffed with money and I left. I got new clothes and an apartment in Massachusettes.
     The first few years were a little hectic. I had learned English during my time at the hotel, but I hadn't yet figured out how much the bills and coins were worth. And I got banned from a store for "creating a scene". Is it my fault that some moron decided to can pasta? This is just wrong! And the fruit! Did you know that they put it in a freezer to "keep it fresh"?! The peaches are still half frozen when I buy them! And don't even get me started on microwaves! EVERYONE has one! You guys are going to get cancer! I don't know what moron came up with that one but I can asure you that it will be thier fault when everyone is writhing on the ground from radiation poisoning.
     Anyway, I'm pretty ok now. Walmart forgave me a few years ago and I know your silly American money like the back of my hand! I don't really see any monsters so I think Hades was lying about that... Well now you're up to speed on how I got to America and why all my friends are dead.
