Halloween

Halloween
Amanda had never been trick or treating, it wasn't because she wasn't allowed it was because she never got past the door. There was something strange about Amanda, on Halloween she had a feeling someone was watching her. Each year Amanda hoped would be different but each year it was always the same, her birthday was on Halloween but she was far from the birthday princess she had long blonde hair covering her tan face and grey eyes but there was another strange thing about Amanda she had earrings that were imprinted in her ear they had a picture of an owl. This year was Amanda's  13th birthday,she was sulking around her house with a permanent grey storm cloud above her head. “ Another birthday another year wasted being me ,every year it is no different if you are out there help me.” Amanda was losing it she was wearing her old stain covered pj’s and her sisters  bunny slippers she screamed in fury her blood curdling in her body she rose twisting in pain and floated back down her feet touching softly on the marble floor. When Amanda opened her eyes she was no longer in her living room she was in a huge temple. In front of her stood a woman with the same honey blonde hair and storm cloud eyes, she look powerful and fierce but when she saw Amanda her expression softened “Amanda you have come. I am Athena god of wisdom but I am also someone you would have never dreamt because Amanda I am your mother, you are destined to be a god one day.” Athena looked at her daughter as if thinking how she would react to her next sentence. “ You are different to other 13 year olds you attract monsters and monsters love to kill they are under order of Hades the god who turned. Your mission is to make it to camp Chiron.” Amanda stopped and thought for a moment then Athena delivered the knockout blow like a prize wrestler . "Alive!"
