Finding Her Place

Chapter 10 The gifts From Heaven or The Opposite.

A/N this is an interesting chapter and an important one too.

 Sarah was walking with Julian and Zoi downtown. They were heading to the bank while Zoi and Julian were explaining exactly what it was.

"So basically, that is where your godly parent sends money," Julian stated

"For most people like you and Julian," Zoi muttered to herself.

Sarah had many questions about what Zoi had said but decided to only follow the two in.

The bank was enormous. It had a vaulted ceiling and a gold plated domed roof. Julian told Sarah to go up to the counter and tell the teller her name. Then the teller would give her her allowance for that week, splitting it up between a credit card, debit card and cash.

Julian hesitated then added, "They will probably also give you any gifts from your father. Maybe even a note that will tell you a little bit about him, like who he is."

Julian looked very uncomfortable during the last part of the conversation.

Sarah walked up to the counter and told her name to the teller. He smiled at her and handed her a brown box as well as an envelope and a wallet.

"If I were you, I would wait until I was alone in my room to open those." He phrased the words as a command, telling her to wait to open the items instead of a suggestion.

At this point, Sarah was saying good night to Julian, Zoi, and two new girls. Their names were Selena and Lexi. Selena was much shorter than Sarah with straight long black hair and blue eyes. She was very skinny but also looked quite athletic. Selena was also a very smart and talkative person. Two personality traits that Sarah tended to think did not go well together but for Selena they fit.

Lexi had brown wavy hair, as well as brown eyes. She was rather skinny and was also not very tall. At least in comparison to the others Sarah had met here. She seemed very outgoing and immediately introduced herself to Sarah. She was very talkative and a bit sassy. Sarah liked that about her. Sarah also learned that even though neither Selena nor Lexi were on the floor, both of them had quite a few classes with her.

After Sarah finally finished the conversation and everyone said their goodbyes, she closed the door to her room. With the gifts from her father in hand, Sarah walked down her surprisingly long hallway to her bedroom. She put the packages on the bed and went into the smaller closet she had in her room. She looked through her drawers for a while until she remembered the labels on the top of each section and found one called Bedwear. Sarah rifled through the drawers giving up on looking for normal pajamas and settled on a silk nightgown that draped all the way to the floor.

Sarah left her closet that might have been larger than her room at home (even though it was the smaller of her two closets.) and plopped onto the bed. She decided to open the wallet first.

The wallet contained a credit card, a debit card, and a large amount of cash. Just as Zoi had said. There was also a note that Sarah had only found after digging through the pockets in the intricate leather wallet. It was written as follows.

My Dearest Sarah,

I am sorry that our meeting was so rushed and how everything happened a few weeks ago. My most sincere apologies for not getting to explain everything to you at the time. Our situation was rushed as it is unfortunately now. I do not have too long to explain, so I will have to rely on the school telling you the basics on what you are expected to know.

Now let us get into what you are not supposed to know. Please do not tell anyone but if you do, as I know you might, be sure that you trust them. Even though you do not know it yet, you are or will be one of the most powerful demigods in the world. This is because you are my child. You are a child of one of the most powerful gods so you are one of the most powerful demigods. Despite this, there are powerful demigods and other creatures that would be able to best you, especially now, untrained but that is not the point. You are a threat to some people even now, and that was why you had to leave your home. This place will train you against monsters and your other gifts will help you.

So you are aware, you have $100,000 on the debit card and the credit card is unlimited. There is only $50,000 in cash. I do realize that is a ridiculous amount of money for the year, let alone a week, especially at a boarding school where mostly everything is included but I do want to make up for not being there for you in some way. I know that giving you money is not the best means to do that. However, for the moment I hope that it will suffice.

I hope in later times, once you are capable of protecting yourself, we will be able to visit each other. You might be able to see your mother by the summer and spend it between Kent and the underworld. I hope to bond with you eventually even though we can't now.

I can't wait for you to meet my wife. She is always surprisingly nice to all of my children even though they mean that I cheated on her. Though, the last time she saw one of my children was a while ago. So, it's The Fate's guess how she shall react.

Be safe. Stay safe. Have fun. Learn. Be yourself. Do good in and out of school. Know that I will always love you. Know that you will always have a home dead or alive.

Yours truly,

Hades,

Dad, Father or whatever you wish to call me.

P.S.

Persephone says that she would love it if she would be an honorary mother/stepmother to you once the two of you meet. She would love to have a good relationship with you and doesn't want you to think that she is trying to replace your mother.

She also told me to tell you that you have a room in the underworld if you ever need it.

I know that you probably don't want to wear the clothes and I am sorry but you have to. Since you are a child of the big three and we made an agreement. I can't tell you the precise details but know that you are forced to wear all of this because you are my child and I am very sorry about that.

Sarah did not know what to think of Hades any more. She didn't hate him and she realized he was trying to be a good dad. Sarah was glad that she had Hades as her father and would not have it any other way.

Sarah decided for the moment that she would look at some of her other gifts. The envelope had the rest of the cash Hades had referenced in the letter so she decided to go open the box.

As she carefully unwrapped the brown paper of the box she noticed something. The box was heavier than before for some reason. She decided to ignore it and opened the cardboard flaps. Inside was a knife.

The hilt was mainly leather with some silver and gold engravings. It was a beautiful leafy pattern that Sarah suspected had something to do with Persephone considering she was the goddess of spring and flowers and whatnot. She held it in her hands and it fit perfectly. She suspected that it was enchanted in some way. It fit in her hand perfectly and for some reason, Sarah could tell it was enchanted. Sarah didn't know how but she did.

Sarah realized she was exhausted. She had know idea why. She had slept for over a week straight then for another 24 hours.

She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
