Charlotte's pov
I left the orphanage with Makayla to go to the twins' birthday party. Friday, September 13th. Something bad is bound to happen. It's not that long of a drive if you know where to go. Makayla was sleeping on the way over. For a 5 year old that's a good thing. The party was a ball so everyone was asked to dress up. I wore a long sleeved old-fashioned dress that looked like it was from a Disney Princess movie. I just put Makayla in a long flowing - like dress. She had picked it out. We walked into the ball room. It was decorated to what looked like a formal Halloween ball. With Marvel. I looked for Jordyn or even any of the girls. That's when I saw the DJ. DJ Shadow. AKA Jordyn. The music wasn't blaring at all. It was quiet actually. That is compared to other DJs. I soon found Elizabeth. Chasing a Link, from Legend of Zelda, impersonator with a chair. I went up to the bar hoping to get a glass of water.
"What can I get you? We have a Hurricane? Mini that is ." He said. I looked to a guy on my right who had gotten a Hurricane. It was the weather Hurricane. Not the drink.
"No thank you. Water's fine." I replied.
"So you're Charlotte huh?" A boy who looked exactly like Jordyn had said.
"Yes I am. I assume you're Jordyn's twin brother." I responded.
"Yeah, Xavier Ryan. But you can just call me Xavier." Xavier said.
A lion like roar ended the conversation. The sound came from a black winged dragon with red headphones around its neck. Just then the door swung open. I instantly knew who it was from past experience. I hid a scar on my arm.
"Well, well. I'm the kind of guy that loves movie references and since I'm the one who started this 'war' I thought I'd crash the party. Did my invitation get lost in the mail? Because I was hurt that I wasn't invited or even told about this wonderful party of yours. Oh, happy birthday to you two. And-" Austin trailed off staring at Jordyn. "Is this your sister? She's beautiful. I'll take her. As a prisoner. Also my gift to my dear Xavier Ryan........ is death. Fitting. Is it not?" He said grabbing Jordyn. Her pistol was ready. And so was her dragon.
"Touch my brother, and end up in a hospital." Jordyn threatened.
"Hmm. Funny. But it's not going to work on me. But I like your determination." He walked to the door letting go of Jordyn. Austin had quickly spun around throwing 2 knives at Xavier but with Jordyn shielding him it hit her across the chest and back instead. She fell to the ground. Many rushed to her side. Xavier, the girls, Makayla and I were the ones who rushed her to a room as Zachary followed. I grabbed the knife before leaving. Shards off of it were missing and they weren't on the ground. While Zachary was young, he knew and was a doctor in a way. One surgeon and weaponexpert that knew about us and was close friends with all 2 demigods and all of the gods. There were shards of the knive inside of Jordyn so there was a surgical procedure that was necessary. We were all asked to leave until she was mived into another room.
