It was late at night that day but the little boy couldn't sleep. He could hear his parents talking downstairs so the three year old started going down the steps. He could now see his momma and his dadda, so he waited for them to notice him.
They were fighting, that the toddler could see. Why? He couldn't understand what they were saying, the words spilling from their mouths too fast for the boy to process them. He knew his parents had not been happy for a while but he had never seen them fight this much.
Soon he turned away from them, sad that they were screaming t each other. He thought that parents were supposed to love each other, not be mad at each other.
His mommy screamed one last time before noticing the boy. She excused herself from the room, telling her husband she was going to bed. As she was walking up the steps, she picked up her son and put him down in his crib.
"Momma, do you still love dadda?" he asked. "Of course I do, Zander. But I think your dadda just doesn't love me anymore. I'm so sorry you had to see that Z-man, but you have to go to sleep now." she answered sadly. She kissed the top of the baby's head as he closed his eyes and left to go to bed.
That night, Chris didn't go to bed with Clarisse. He slept on the couch, passed out from all the alcohol he had drunk. Which is why he never noticed what happened while he slept. The mother started packing all of the necessities for herself and her son, tears streaming down he face as she did so. Then, she wrote a letter to her husband telling him they were leaving and never coming back and not to search for them. She put the piece of paper on the living room coffee table before going to get the sleeping toddler and leaving the house.
They drove to a friends house and spent the night there before taking a flight to Greece. They got all the way to Santorini before Chris tried to contact them. She blocked his number as she registered to rent a home there and sadness washed over her. This all felt way too surreal. Forty eight hours ago she would never have guessed that she would be here but she knew that it was safer for Zander to grow up far from his father, even if there were a lot of monsters here.
2027:
The eight year old boy was skipping in front of his mother, waiting for her to catch up to him. Life had been different since they'd moved, but a good kind of different. They got to be outside all of the time, without all the smoke and cars honking there was back home.
But there was still some inconveniences. Since they lived in Greece, they were more likely to encounter monsters which as Clarisse said were "happy coincidences, they give you some more opportunities to practice your sword fighting."
And there, as Zander skipped to the grocery store, was an fight opportunity. He had heard the hissing before he saw her, a snake headed lady. It wasn't Medusa because he knew Percy Jackson had killed her but it was a Gorgon, and he then stopped in his tracks. Clarisse noticed the look on his face but pushed forward, thinking it was another "good opportunity". The Gorgon lady spotted them in the crowd and pushed through everyone.
Both took their swords out as one of the snakes lunges at them, Zander lashing at it and cutting it off. It bursts into dust but another one replaced it. He starts lashing at the monster, not aiming for anything in particular. He knew now that any snake head cut off would grow back so he was trying to get the general chest area. Clarisse looked from afar, proud that her son could handle himself.
The Gorgon fought back with her clawed fingers, managing to scratch the boy once. Then, as Zander slashed at her another time, she managed to knock the blade out of his hands. He reached down to his leg so the woman tried to hurt him with her claws. Luckily, the boy always had a dagger in his shoe for emergency situations. He stabbed her right in the chest and just as he claws reached his chest, she burst into dust, leaving Zander coughing in a cloud of dust.
Clarsse walked over to him and helped him up, scanning him with her calculating eyes, trying to figure out if he was hurt. During the fight, the crowd had back away, leaving the pair in the middle of the street. They walked back to the house and cleaned up, only to go back to the grocery store, as they hadn't been able to shop earlier.
