Chap 3
So I guess I have to tell you my story before continuing? Okay. But sit down and get some popcorn. This might take a while.
Okay, so when I said I wanted to be different,this was not what I meant. Now I will answer your questions, patience. There are three most important types of people here. The first, are the ones devoted to Zeus or lighties. They can control lightning, and slow down time. So you've got to be careful with those. Then there are the ones devoted to Posidon, or the mer as I like to call them. They can control every form of water there is, they can control their temperature,and breathe underwater too. My best friend, Cassia, is a mer, though she's pretty cool and does not brag about her powers. Then there's the Hades guys (undertakers) they're pretty freaky and in my opinion,the scariest. They can turn invisible, teleport, and control metal. Talk about cool powers huh?These are the only types of powers there are, but there exist exceptions.
Years ago, the first three men with powers came to earth. Yeah,they kind of overthrew mortals, and changed the world. In school, they often teach us their story. Like how instead of a lot of countries, we have only two, or how these men created the three powers and all but lets get to the point. The rules they made are simple:
1)Never tell any mortal your real identity.
2)Never use Your powers in public.
3)Only if a mortal discovers you're identity use the brainwashing machine.
4)Only marry people with your own power or else a mix of powers might surge.
So yeah, now you know what I am. I'm one of the mixes, anomalies, aberrations, failures, errors, however you would like to call me. I'm a combination of aphrodite, you know? The goddess of love? And Hephaestus, The weird old guy with the black bierd? The one who stinks like petrol all The time and carries a hammer everywhere he goes. Yeah those are my grandparents, and yeah I know, Hephaestus and Aphrodite? Ha. Anoter reason yet to be called error I guess. My dad is gone, got killed by a hummus bull, I miss him so much... My mom has been taking care of both of us ever since.
Years ago, my sister married the king and freed us from being poor. Then she mysteriously died, and I was forced to make a deal with the king.
I have to pretend to be his daughter and assume the throne. I can not speak of the deal or my powers to anyone and he will try to save my mom or at least help her to live a little longer.
My mom is sick. She has been for a while now. She's been down with cancer, ever since a short while after my sister Anna died.
So yeah... that's the deal which now shaped my every day life. I'm not going into detail now. You'll find what you want to know later on.
----------------------------------------------I wake up to knocking at my door. I'm so tired. I can basicly feel the pea under the bed. Ha. It's so early! Wait- What on earth am I doing in my bed? I groan and sit up.
I wrack my brain for an explanation to my place switch. I spent all night yesterday speaking With him, untill I fell asleep on the couch. He must have carried me here. I sigh and fall back down on the bed, closing my eyes.
Him is the most handsome, funny, kind and mesmerizing guard, helper, 'friend' I have ever had. I could tell, since I fell ontop of him yesterday, that he wasn't going anywhere. Well not under my permission. Na ah. He had blue sea green eyes, light skin and beautiful brown hair... Not to mention I have seen him before. Somewhere. My door opened just a crack, letting light fall onto my face. I raised a hand to cover it. "Uh... Tiara? Can I come in?" I smiled and nodded, removing my hand away from my eyes to see him.
