advice column- @cloverbrooks
Sorry for not getting this in friday! I had no internet. DX Anyway, this is going to be a question and answer place. Ask questions, I answer them! *beams* So, since this is the first one, I will be doing something a little different. After turning this over in my head for a while, I came up with something! *ah ha moment*
This will be sort of a story that happened, but only put into demigod form. :D It may sound a little odd at first, but at the very end, there will be advice. Trust me! This will work out!
Lets start.... NOW
Now, I didn't want to go bowling. Neither did I want to get up at eight AM on a saturday. But I had to.
I was having a party.
This wasn't a normal party. It was a DEMIGOD party. Totally different.
Was I planning on medusa?
No. I was planning a clown.
Were the guests monsters?
No. I was planning demigods/mortals.
Was I planning on having a cake?
Yes. Yes I was.
See? A pretty bad party huh? *sighs* I haven't even gotten to the good part...
So, my siblings come in, splash water on me in bed and run away laughing their heads off. (no... not literally.) I was ticked. Nothing really more I can say about that... Apparently, Gracie (my younger half sister) was the only one who actually cared about my well being. Don't ask why... She usually was the one I was helping. Must be carma or something.
"Are you alright?" Gracie asked, handing me a towel. I wiped my face and sighed.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Is it Saturday already?" I asked. Gracie smirked and nodded.
"It started at midnight."
"Ha ha." I complained bluntly, "now that I'm awake, do I have to do stuff?" Gracie laughed and held out her hand.
"Yes, sadly you do." I groaned, but took her hand. She hoisted me up and my older half brother, Mike, tossed me some clothes.
"Here Smarty," he mocked, "you might want to get out of those wet clothes." I stuck my tounge out at him as he laughed and left the room. Gracie smiled sadly.
"Sorry about the ice water. I told them not to."
I rolled my eyes, "Nah, it's fine. I'm used to it." I gave Gracie a small push. "Could I get a little bit of privicy?" I asked. Gracie nodded. She walked out and closed the door.
In short, I got dressed. I brushed out my hair, brushed my teeth, and got ready for the day. People would be coming soon.
When I walked out, my siblings had all left. I found that suspisious. They never just 'left'. I shrugged, then walked over to a closet. When I opened the door, streamers, presents, and decorations tumbled out. I ended up on the floor, trapped under all the party stuff. I pushed the stuff off of me and sighed.
"Stupid half siblings... leaving me to do all of this!" I kicked a streamer and it rolled across the room.
Then someone knocked on the cabin's door.
I quickly stood and rushed to the door. Something inside me screamed,
No! Don't open the door!
What did I do? I opened the door. Good news was, the first thing I saw were the snakes. The first thought that came into my head was,
MEDUSA!!!!!
I screamed and ran back into the cabin.
"Oh no you don't!" Medusa hissed, smashing the door to pieces. I tapped my wrist and my sword, Wisdom, sprang to life. I slashed at Medusa, barely missing her. I tried my best to avert my eyes, but it was pretty hard. We had no mirrors, unlike Aphrodite.
And if things could get worse, monsters began stomping onto the cabin. Telkines, emposia, and tons of kinds I couldn't name. One cyclopes stepped forward, his club raised. I rolled into a ball, screaming. The cyclopes tapped my shoulder. I didn't look up. He tapped it again and this time I looked up.
In his meaty hands, he held a yellow birthday cake.
I blinked, so confused about why a monster was giving me a cake. I opened my arms, and he handed it to me. The candles were lit, ready for me to make a wish. I looked up at the cyclopes and smiled.
"Thank you." I said. He beamed (although, his smile was very ugly). Medusa smiled, and it looked REALLY creepy. I leaned away from her and stared at my cake.
What was going-
"WAKE UP!!!! IT'S SATURDAY!!!!"
Everything around me melted and my body felt like it was frozen.
I screamed and sat up in my bed. My siblings had an empty bucket of ice water.
"Come on! It's party time! Wake up!" Mike yelled, tossing another bucket of water on me. I gasped as the cold water hit me. I growled at Mike, then started to chase after him.
Advice: Dreams are cool. (I dunno... what do you think you can learn from this?)
