Athena's Curse ((On Hold / Rewriting))

Chapter One

I looked down from our roof.  Mom had ordered me , that if I climbed up onto our roof, I was not to jump down.

Please.  Why on God's green earth would I do that?  I'll probably kill myself.

But my goal was to jump from the roof to the tree seven and a half feet away.  I remebered dreaming about doing that very same thing, and I had this insane urge to try.

I then  looked to the ground, which was about a hundred or so feet below.  I knew I shouldn't jump.  But I wanted to.  I wanted to see if I could jump seven and a half feet.

I backed up to the side of the house behind me.  Before I could chicken out, I ran and jumped.

I shouldn't have made it that far.  I should've made it two or three feet.

Not seven and a half.

Somewhere along the two or three feet, I felt the wind pick up and push me toward the tree.

Oh, no, I'm going way too fast.  This is going to hurt.  I'll never be allowed on the roof again.

I hit the branch, and upon the impact, I fell off the branch, fell about a hundred or so feet and landed on my back.

I looked up to the branches of the trees and groaned.  That did hurt.  I somehow knew I wasn't injured.  But why wasn't I injured?

And how did the wind seem to catch me when I jumped?

And why did it?

Those questions bounced around in my head   But I only had a few answers.

I was cursed. By someone powerful enough to do it.

But why?
