the first chapter is as follows.
Chapter 1
“This is absurd. This beyond any right foolish. To lock ourselves up and think that we will lull back our enemy to sleep is incongruous.” yelled a male voice. There were many people sitting on thrones of their own. “I agree with him father. It is foolish to think that we can win by sitting here. We need to help our children. By distancing ourselves we are reducing their chance to win. We can’t ignore our children.” “enough.” yelled powerful male voice. “My decision is final. We are closing Olympus. No one will try to contact your children. The consequences of disobeying will be severe, dismissed.”
Zoë woke up with a start. This was not the first time that she had this kind of dreams. She had seen many such dreams and she had always tried to forget them. On numerous occasions she had not been successful in doing so. The twelve year old got up from her bed. She looked out of the window and found that it was morning. For some reason she never understood she never needed a watch. She could always tell what time it was even when she was completely distracted and it was saying something as she got easily distracted after all she had ADHD. She was happy that unlike her friend Edward, she did not have dyslexia. She slowly got out of her bed and she looked at herself in the mirror. She saw a girl with long black hair with a few streaks of red in it. She saw green eyes with had some hint of silver in it. Most of the people failed to see the silver in her eyes. Only her momma, Edward and her other friend Stanly had ever seen it. She was holding her favorite hair pin in her right hand. Zoë remembered the day perfectly. It was a full moon day evening the moon had just rose and Zoë was taking a walk in the park near her home. She had seen an old lady getting teased by boys or better would be say gits. Zoë stood up to those fools and as a token of appreciation the old lady had given Zoë a hair pin saying “this pin was a wedding gift from my husband and I promised him that I would give this to a worthy girl I find. This is a special pin. When under severe distress twist it. You will find help.” From that day Zoë had kept this pin with her all the time. She had discovered the pin to magical. It turned to any color so as to suit the dress she was wearing. She even discovered the pin would go invisible if she did not want any in her hair.
“Zoë dear you are up.” said a soft female voice. Zoë turned to look at a beautiful woman probably in her late twenties. She had braided caramel hair and soft brown eyes. “Morning momma, I am getting ready for school.” The women smiled walking towards the small girl wrapped her arms around and gave a hug. “The last day of school, you must be excited. I will prepare breakfast then you run along to your friends. She gave a small peck on the little girl’s cheeks and left her to get ready. Soon breakfast arrived and Zoë was digging into her food. The woman smiled fondly at the girl “guess what, my dear?” Zoë looked up “I don’t know?” the woman’s smile got wider “we are going to Montauk for three days and nights.” Zoë jumped from her seat and gave her momma a bear hug “I love you momma, we will have lot of fun.” The woman laughed and hugged her back “yes we will have lot of fun.” “Did daddy love the place, momma?” Zoë asked. The woman nodded “Yes, he loves the place, once started he won’t stop talking about it.” There was a bit silence for a few seconds which was broken by Zoë “did he know me as a child? I mean when I was a baby?” “Yes my dear, your father knew you as a baby. He was present at your birth.” Zoë’s momma said. “Then why did he leave? Why did he not stay with us? Did he not love us? Did he find some other woman attractive?” Zoë had tears now in her eyes. “Zoë Sally Jackson, never say something like that about your father. He is the most loyal person in this world. He loved you and he always will. He even named you Sally after his mother.” “Then why did he leave?” Zoë asked. “Because he had no choice, he had to go on an important mission on Atlantic Ocean.” Zoë’s momma answered her. Zoë was a bit afraid to ask the next question “momma is he dead?” “No my dear, whatever makes you think so. He is just lost at the sea, not dead. Remember that, when he sees you he will be so proud of you.” Zoë wanted to hear more but the dammed phone ran which had to be answered. “Cally Jackson speaking, how can I help you?” Zoë knew that her momma was a floweriest. They had a small house at the outside the reigns of New York City. They had a green house in which both Zoë and Cally would spend hours growing different kinds of flowering plants. They both enjoyed working with plants. Zoë had many a times heard her momma say that the house and the green house were her father’s gift to them. Zoë had learnt the previous year that her father and her mother were not married yet they used Jackson as their maiden name.
The last day went eventless for Zoë and her friends at Goode High School. Zoë was happy to be there because her grandpa Paul was now the principal at that school. Maria Blofis was also one of Zoë’s friends she was actually her only female friend rest of Zoë’s were boys. But you cannot accuse her she had only three friends. Maria was one grade above Zoë. Both liked to tease each other, they always found it hilarious that Maria was Zoë’s aunt. Zoë liked her grandma Sally a lot. Who wouldn’t? Sally’s blue food was a legend. The last period at school was physical training. “Sitting out yet another fun hour are we Stanly? I wonder why? Is it because you are a cripple?” Mark, one of the meanest boys in Zoë’s class mocked at Stanly. The whole bunch of marks friends always tried to get on Stanly. Stanly had brown hair which he always kept long, he walked a bit differently than other which he attributed to a muscular disease he had as a baby. Zoë and Edward we beyond the definition of mad. They would have jumped at Mark and killed him if a male voice which they recognized to be belonging to their coach said “what is happening here? I don’t want any needless action here. This is the last day of the term. Try to enjoy than ruin it.” “Yes sir.” Was every bodies reply. Their coach was a guy in his mid twenties, it was rare to have such young coach. He had black hair and black eyes. Which gave you the impression that he either was a genius or a mad man? His skin was pale. Many wondered how a coach has pale skin but Zoë and her friends did not care. If you ask them they would simply say “Coach Di Angelo is awesome.” He always was nice to the trio and he made physical training a lot more fun.
It was decided to have a simple basket ball game. Coach divided the students into teams and asked them to play. He himself got to a corner, as always Stanly followed him and they were having some conversation. Stanly and coach always talked to each other during the hour so the other did not bother them. “Edward, ready to have some fun?” Zoë asked the boy with blue eyes and blonde hair. He smiled a dazzling smile which could affect many girls but Zoë. Edward and she were good friends and they considered each other brother and sister. The game was going well for Zoë and co when suddenly Zoë observed that there were more people in the opposition than there were a while ago. When she looked closely she found that there were people she had never seen in her life. There where at least six of them. They were hug and muscular. They looked as ugly as possible. As Zoë was wondering who these new people were a ball came flying at Edward and hit him square on the chest. Edward was pushed onto his butt. “Hey! You could kill someone.” Zoë yelled. The one who threw the ball replied “I hope so, Zoë Sally Jackson I hope so.” Zoë panicked for a moment but dogged the very second when a ball came soaring towards her. She had to thank Edward who had yelled her name which alerted her. The six intruders were somehow becoming larger and uglier. They ignored the others and launched attacks at Zoë and Edward. Soon both were hurt. “Now time for our revenge, die Jackson.” The one which appeared as their leader said but the very next moment looked surprised and then as Zoë watched he disappeared into thin air with Coach Di Angelo standing behind. “Monsters, leave them alone.” “Son of Hades, we will kill you and then we will deal with that spawn of the tide.” The giants attacked at the coach when some turned to attack Zoë and Edward. Stanly ran to his friends “coach can handle them. We need to go right now.” Zoë glared at her friend “we are not going anywhere. We are helping coach.” With that she charged at the monsters and started to throw the basket balls at the monsters. This did not affect them even remotely. Edward joined his friend and threw balls himself. The only think it did was to distract their coach and a giant attacker was able to knock him out. “Jackson, years ago your father and uncle killed us. Now we will have our revenge.” the monster who had said this charged at Zoë. She did not know what she had to do. Zoë ran in a random pattern changing her direction as many times she could manage. From the corner of her eyes she could see Stanly trying to wake up their coach and then she saw Edward getting knocked out. Zoë did not know what she had to do, that was when she remembered the old lady “this pin was a wedding gift from my husband and I promised him that I would give this to a worthy girl I find. This is a special pin. When under severe distress twist it. You will find help.” Zoë pulled out the pin from her hair and then twisted it. The pin glowed with a silver and green light, it started to change and as she looked at the pin in its place there was a sword. Zoë noted that the sword was made up of some bronze like material. The sword felt right in her hands. She was so amazed that for a moment she forgot her surroundings but was quickly brought back to reality as the monster yelled “die tide spawn.” Zoë turned and swung the sword and the next thing she saw was that the monster turned into yellow powder. Zoë quickly attacked the remaining monsters and turned them all into yellow power. “Well, that was easy.” Zoë said but heard a reply. “Tell me about it.”
