Real or Fake?
Born 1998, F, from Bronx,New York, United StatesReal or Fake?
“Ok so if you’re not a fan of mythology stuff or prophecies and stuff like that I don’t recommend reading this. But if you are then welcome! My name is Casey and i’m a 13 year-old girl with some very unusual problems. I have dark brown hair, light gray eyes, tattered clothes, and nothing else. But first of all you probably want to know what this has to do with everything and you must be asking “what kind of problems?” well I’ll tell you what problems I have but let’s start at the beginning. for starters I have no parents, i’m on my own you see, my mom died giving birth to me and my dad was in the military or something so he died fighting I guess. So I have been on my own for a while. And it all really started on my 13th birthday. “Jeez what will it take with these people I thought I had gotten faster guess not. (Grunts) well now I’m running through Central Park with cops on my tail guess it’s my own fault though but all this for a couple of apples? It’s not like they’re made of gold! Wow how long have I been running I’m at the empire state building! I guess I have gotten faster ha-ha. Shoot guess I spoke too soon. Hey come back here! Sorry guy know you’re just doing your job but I have to eat as well! Got you now come with me miss. Sorry guys but no can do. I’m so gonna regret punching a cop but I can’t worry about that now. Man I am good, I flipped jumped and dodged my way through like 5 cops. But when I get to my usual hiding spot I find someone else there.”
“Wow. When I look its two girls one that looks at least 6 and the other looks 9 or 10 years old. Wait I’m not gonna hurt you what’s your names? (Moves away) come on please? (Breathing shallowly) wait did she get hurt? Let me see. Oh no (pulls back) hey if you don’t let me take care of that cut it could get infected if it isn’t already and her arm might have to be cut off would you want that to happen? No she says. Good then let me see it. I sigh heavily thank goodness it’s not infected but I do need to clean it so grab her hand. She nods ok. Now I’m going to pour a little bit of this medicine on the cut, it will sting a bit but it will help to clean it so if it hurts just let her grip your hand ok? Nods. Ok here we go. (Grunts) ok that’s it now I will bandage it up ok? There we go she will be fine she just needs rest, so do you trust me enough now to tell me your names? Humph ok miss my name is Tara and my sister’s name is Martha. Ok Tara my name is Casey do you mind telling me what you’re doing here? We ran away from home our parents don’t like us so we left. Well did you guys do anything to make them upset? Well I didn’t do anything but a few days ago I asked my dad if I could drive the car and he told me yes and gave me the key so I thought that was strange. (Wait he gave her the key? Maybe she’s like me!) And what about your sister? She tells me that she see people. See’s people? Yea like my aunt. Your aunt? Yea my dead aunt. Oh I see. (So they are like me.)
“Ok well Tara here have an apple you look hungry and give this one to your sister when she wakes up. Why are you helping us Casey? Well I never got to meet my parents and I never had anyone to help me so I don’t want that to happen to you two. Well thank you then Casey. No problem you look tired why don’t you rest? I don’t like to sleep I have nightmares all the time. Yea? Well so do I but you know what I will be right here and I will make you and your sister a promise I promise to always stay by your side and to protect you both ok? Really you mean it Casey? Of course I do we are all family now. (Hugs me) thank you Casey. No problem Tara now get some sleep ok? Alright Casey good night. Good night. (I can’t tell them who they really are I only just found out about my father and I didn’t take it too well and they’re just kids I can’t put that on their shoulders but I will have to tell them eventually.) (Sun rises) she yawns well you look like you slept well. Yea and I didn’t have any nightmares! That’s good looks like your sister is waking up. Oh my arm hurts. Huh? (Gasps) sister! Hey it’s ok this is Casey if it wasn’t for her your arm would be hurting even more right now. Really sister? Yes now here she wanted me to give this to you. Wow I love apples thank you miss Casey. You can just call me Casey. Well we are going to have to move somewhere else are you guys ok to walk? Yes we will be fine. Ok well after you’re done eating Martha we can go. Alright Casey. Ok Casey I’m done let’s go. Alright just listen to me and we will be ok. Ok you’re the boss big sis. I managed a giggle so I think we would get along just fine. We all hold each other’s hands and we cross the street luckily the police aren’t looking for me because they have more important stuff to worry about. Anyways we get to central park and see a man with black curly hair, a deep black shirt, and a long black coat walking towards us and that’s when everything turns bad.
“Hello Casey you look well. Uncle. So you recognize me I’m touched. Of course I recognize you how could I not? Casey who is this man? Hello child. Uncle no please wait not now please. I’m sorry but your father has told me that now is the time. But that’s not fair; their just kids don’t do this uncle please! Sorry niece but I must carry out my brother’s wishes unfortunately. At least let me tell them. Tell us what Casey? Child it’s so good to see you again. See me again? Yes my name is Hades it’s a pleasure. Hades... kind of like that Greek god Hades? Yes my dear Martha. But how do you know who I am Mister Hades? Because child I’m your father. No you’re not my father’s name is… you have dreams correct? How do you know that? And you can see people that are dead correct? Yes but wait what are you telling me, that you are the actual Hades? Yes Child who else would I be. Oh my god, that’s not possible there are no gods they are just myths! Martha I’m so sorry I should have told you but you are both so young and I only just found out who I am as well. Wait what do you mean who you are? Do you know what a child born of god and mortal is called? No. Well they are called demigods, half human and half god. That is what you and I and Tara are, we are all demigods. Casey I refuse to believe that we are demigods they just don’t exist! I know I thought that too until I saw my dad. Wait says Martha you called him Uncle, Casey who is your dad? Martha my dad is the king of the gods, Lord Zeus himself.”
“Wait no this is too freaky he can’t be Hades and we can’t be his children. To your correction young child I said Martha was my child. Wait what? You mean Tara isn’t your child Uncle? No of course not. My children have a special aura around them this child is not mine. Ok so wait are you telling me that I have a different father? Yes or did you not hear me. Ok so who is he? Your father is human Tara isn’t he Hades? What do you think now that I have claimed you I must be going now the underworld has been quite hectic as of late. He evaporated in to what looked like flames and just like that gone. Casey are the gods really real? They are sister. What do you mean Martha? I have seen him before Tara in my dreams and I knew he was my real dad I could feel it. Ok let’s just say that they are real and that really was Hades and he just said that he wasn’t my dad and you just said that my dad is human does that mean that my mom is a god? Yes Tara but I don’t know which one please Tara, Martha I’m so sorry I should have told you both who you were but I was scared as to how you would react please forgive me. Casey its ok we forgive you. Really you do? Of course we just found out that we have awesome parents I mean seriously her dad is the lord of the underworld that’s so cool and I may not know who my mom is but I can’t wait to meet her! Huh you are a very surprising girl Tara when I found out I ran for the hills but ok so let’s go find your mom huh what do you two say. Yea! Ok then let’s go. So after our encounter with my dear uncle Hades we set out to find out who Tara’s godly parent is, I might have an idea but I won’t know for sure until we find her.”
“so on the way we talk about what I know about their parents and well just about everything else, about my parent, my human parent, where I was born and all that stuff but I have to say it was nice having them here I didn’t feel alone any more I mean I already knew that there were kids like me but I didn’t seek them out because well a daughter of Zeus is not a good thing because just like how the gods are real all the monster they fought are real too I mean just 1 month ago I fought what is known as a gorgon they are kind of like the uglier sisters of medusa if you don’t know who she is well then you need to read more Greek mythology but I will tell you anyway, Medusa was the first gorgon she was once a beautiful lady but she was caught with her boyfriend in Athena’s temple (Athena is the goddess of wisdom, crafting and battle strategy just so you know.) So Athena was upset by this (of course she would be but that’s not the point.) and Athena turned Medusa into an ugly creature that with a look she can turn you to stone so yeah medusa is not someone you want to tangle with. But anyways all the monsters are real as well so we have to be careful because as Hades said about Martha having a special aura monster’s can sense it as well and three demigod (two of the most powerful gods on Olympus I might add.) might draw some attention. Luckily I have learned a few tricks since then I put together some items (you really don’t wanna know I just finally stopped barfing.) And I made little pouches the may not shield us from the gods but they will shield us from monsters. Ok Tara and Martha now don’t lose these ok? They will help shield us. From what big sister? Monster’s, Martha they will shield us from monsters. Oh, ok big sister I trust you. Thank you but do you trust me Tara? Of course I do Casey you are our family now big sister. I give a smile that makes them giggle like they are sharing an inside joke I let it slide though. Ok well now we have to find some food so I want you to do exactly as I tell you ok? Yes ma’am. Mister me and my sister are all alone out here can we please have some fruit to eat please? At first I thought the plan wasn’t working but then the man said. Of course you can little girl here’s a bag full of banana’s, apples and oranges please enjoy them. Thank you kind mister good-bye. Nice job you little actress you I love you so much Tara, I gave her a big hug because she did great and I’m proud of her she hugs me back and then giggles. So let’s chow down somewhere a little farther away before he changes his mind.”
“So we all start eating right away and I have to say that was the best meal I ever had because I was sharing it with my new family. But then out of the corner of my eye I see a shimmer and a table appears and there is a lady sitting at it. Welcome little ones, she sounded so pretty that I felt like going to sleep but I managed to keep myself awake. And when I looked at her I was in shock she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and I live in New York so I have seen a lot of them she had a long white dress with a matching hat on, she wore earrings that look like hearts and she had ruby red lipstick on and she was just beautiful. Oh thank you dear, she said as if reading my mind. You’re such a nice girl and so young yet so pretty, all of you are! It was then that I realized who she was. I bow in respect, Lady Aphrodite, what are you doing here my lady? I came to give you something more to eat then just that how about some tea and cookies instead dear? We all sit down uncomfortably. Lady Aphrodite I’m guessing you know who we all are? Oh course I do my dear I would never forget someone like you, you have a very good story that I made for you. Um I’m not sure what you mean. Oh yes but you will find out, eventually but for starters i’m here for Tara. For me My Lady? Yes you Tara such a lovely name for you my dear it is so nice to see you all of you Zeus had told me not to interfere but love works in mysterious ways so I just had to see you. Well I don’t know what to say to that my lady, but what was it did you want to tell me something? Oh right yes of course my dear I wanted to say hello my child! Wait a sec you’re my? Yes dear I am your mother and I have done a fine job with you my dear not many of my children have your power. What power my Lady? You mean you don’t know? Let’s see have you ever asked someone for something and they just give it to you? Yes but wait you mean that’s my power? Yes my dear it is call Charmspeak and it can be very powerful and very useful please use it well my dear. Thunder rumbles in the sky. Alright ok i’m going I’m going ok my dear I have to go I hope you like what I got you I will talk to you again soon. What do you mean what you got? After that everything went black when we woke up Aphrodite was gone so was the table but there were three backpacks filled with new clothes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and sleeping bags and we all woke up wearing new clothes as well. I was wearing a pink and white shirt with navy blue pants and a necklace, Martha had on a floral print dress with matching boot and Tara was wearing a pair of cowgirl boots with a light blue shirt and a vest with a pair of skinny jeans. Well that was fun. I can’t believe this. Tara what is it? My mom totally knows what I like! I love these clothes! And I can’t believe my mom is the Goddess Aphrodite! Ok whoa do you want the whole world to know? No but I’m just so happy! I know you are Tara so now are you guys ready to go on an adventure let go see if we can find Mount Olympus. Really Casey we are going to find Mount Olympus?! Sure why not besides I would really like to have a word with my dad so let’s go and see. Yay! And so we all head out on another adventure and this time none of us look back.
