Daughter of Ares

Part 1

Im Abira Lawrence. Abira means heroic and brave in Greek. I look pretty normal. I have fawn hair, rosy cheeks and am 5'3. The only thing that shows WHAT I really am is my eyes. I have heterochromia; one of my eyes is stormy grey while the other is a forest green. I was abandoned by my parents at 5 when they found out I was different, that I could never have a normal life. Until I found Elva when I was 13, I was constantly getting into fights and was always winning. Elva showed me what...who...I really was.

Elva taught me about how when my parents abandoned me at the age of five it was also because of the fact that I was not related to my father, I was a demi-god. And my father was Ares- God of War.

Elva, it turns out, is actually the nymph who helps Chiron find demi-gods in danger.

Most gods and goddesses have many children but not my father. When I arrived at Camp Half-Blood I found that I was the only one to inhabit cabin 5.My weapon is a charm bracelet, I know what you're thinking, how could a charm bracelet help you in battle? On my bracelet is charm versions of all the gods weapons, all I have to do is grab one and pull and that weapon will materialise in my hand, handy for hiding my weapons on quests.

People all used to stare at me like I was some kind of freak, then they realised what I could do, what abilities I had. The things I have done would leave you haunted by the thought.

Flashback

This was a memory from a week before I met Elva. "Please just leave me alone." The beasts started to edge towards me the biggest one grabbed my wrist.

"I'm warning you. You have no idea what I am capable of." They laughed at me, it was the last straw. I reached into my hoodie pocket and pulled out my Swiss Army Knife. 5 seconds later they were in a pool of blood at my feet. I didn't know whether to be impressed or horrified at what I had done so I ran, ran until I met Elva.

"Abira!" Percy's voice pulled me from my thoughts.

"What?" I snapped, I didn't mean to snap but it was second nature to me.

"Chiron wants to see you. I think it's because you landed that kid from Apollo's cabin in Medical. That's the third kid this week! I'm impressed!" Most people wouldn't expect me and Percy to be friends considering he's going out with Annabeth Chase and she hates me because, truthfully, she knows that her mother is just a cheap female replica of my father. I've actually said that to her before.

"Abira, we've got to go." I begrudgingly stood up. Percy kept talking about 'how perfect Annabeth is'. I swear to the Gods of Olympus that I will one day show him her true colours. We've arrived at the Big House....
