I stand in front of a burned down house. My blonde hair is blowing with the wind like the dress that I am wearing, which is a white off the shoulder and goes down to my feet. You're probably wondering how I got here, well let's start off with how I look and my age. I'm 25 with blonde hair, green eyes and I have no family or friends. My family has been dead since I was 10 and I just don’t have friends. My name is Anna Nikia, and this is the story of how I became a god. ("I have no family ." Proceeds to get adopted by a greek god.)

I shoot up in bed. Christmas day. I get out of bed, my nightgown flowing behind me as I run to my big brother's room, he’s 5 years older than me. I open his door and run up to his bed, I get on it and start jumping up and down to wake him up. “I’m up! I’m up! Calm down, Anna!” He says as I stop jumping and sit on the end of his bed. “Come on, big brother!! It’s christmas day!
I whisper as he sits up rubbing his eyes. “I know, calm yourself!” He whispers to me as he gets up from his bed, holding out his hand for me to take. Once I took his hand he led me to our parents room. He opens the door and I see them in their bed fast asleep. “Stay right here.” he whispers to me as he heads to the bed and gently wakes them up. Mommy wakes up first then daddy. I didn’t even wait for them to get up. I ran down the stairs to the living room. I run to the armchair and get onto it and wait for the rest of my family. Some time passes but eventually they come down and we start opening presents.
I got everything I wanted , which isn’t much. I don’t like many things. So I mostly get stuffed animals. But I've been asking for a puppy since I was 6. 4 years of asking for one and it’s not like we can’t afford one. We can and we have the space but mommy and daddy still say no, saying we don’t have time, but other than that i get everything i want. Brother hates our parents, I don't get it. Daddy always tells me to go to my room. I never do, even if I do I still hear them. “ I'm going to my room” My brother says coldly as he stands up and starts to leave.
“WAIT!!!” I yelled as he stopped but didn’t turn around. “I was thinking WE could have a family dinner out?” I ask as I look at them hopeful. “Only if you don’t mind Mormo and Val picking the place again.” my brother says as he goes up stairs and goes to his room. I look over to mommy and daddy. “Sorry honey, me and daddy have work to do.” Mommy says as I jump off the armchair and run up the stairs to my room with tears in my eyes. I slam the door shut and run up to my bed and jump back into it and cry.
