Alex

Part 12

I opened my eyes, the sand blew through the wind dusting across my face. I pushed myself on my knees, blinking a few times attempting to get as much sand as I could out of my eyes. What was that?! I questioned. 

You see, before my mom died and that bastard abandoned me, there were sometimes- not very often times- in which a vision came to me. It has never been something relatively comfortable, my hair would start to turn blonde rather than say its natural color of brown and my eyes would turn into an emerald green, it's painful. The visions themselves would be random, stuff that never had anything to do with me. But this one was different, I could feel it.

I shook it out of my head. It's just paranoia, right? I couldn't dwell on that, this wasn't the place and i didn't have the time. 

I stood, my legs felt like lead as I staggered forward towards the ocean. I should probably clean myself up... The ocean was so clear, so clean, I could see all the little fishes swimming back and forth. I giggled at the sight. Odd, I haven't giggled since you-know-what happened.

"Clean, right? I love coming here, it's the only thing in this world that seems to have escaped from the wrath of man.", a stern, but somehow delightful, voice spoke from behind me. I turned with a start, my hand on the small dagger my mother had.

A boy, probably my age (11) if not younger, came into view. He's probably 5'2", is thin but has a nice build and some muscle- not too much- with really nice blue eyes and, to top it off, dirty blonde- almost brown- hair that fell perfectly in place. He laughed, it was a nice laugh that made me want to laugh with him but i restrained myself. 

"There's no need to take the dagger out, love. I don't bite. The names Peter but most call me Pan." he said. I quickly took note to his British accent, moving my hand away from the butt of the dagger. It was as if his words were controlling me. I relaxed as I spoke out, "I'm Alexandria but I prefer Alex."

He looked surprised. "You're the girl everyone's looking for?" I nodded. "My my, you sure have kept under the radar.", he continued. But i stayed silent and observed this boy some more. He was wearing a green tunic, like Link from The Legend of Zelda, but the "skirt" cut shorter and grayish pants underneath.

"If you're gonna stare then why don't you just take a picture, it'll last longer." Pan ordered.

"Uh... Sorry, I didn't realize i was staring...", I spoke softly.

He stared at me for awhile before saying: "Are you a demigod too?"

"What?"

"A demigod. Are you one?'

I was so lost. What the hell is a demigod?!?! I guess my expression spoke loud because he soon answered; "A demigod is a child of a god and human. You many have heard of some like Hercules, Perseus or Achilles. But we aren't just some legend. The gods are real. I myself am a demigod, a child of Aphrodite the goddess of love."

I tried to piece everything he said to me together. A demigod. Child of a god and human. Demi means half. Half-god. 

"I suppose... it is possible... that I may be a demigod as well..." I said quietly. Pan nodded. 

"It's best that we get out off the beach, I have some friends that I am traveling with. You should come, we could use a lost girl." He turned and left without another word. Without hesitation i followed him. What a grave mistake....

A/N I just needed to make Pan-from once upon a time- a child of Aphrodite, I couldnt help myself! Anyway, vote and comment on what you think should happen next to our little Alex. 

Why could traveling with the sexy motherfucker Pan be such a bad thing? Could she really be a demigod? 

Who knows?? Oh wait, I do!!!!
