Lights And Sound
A/N: My first GenRex FF! And it’s a cross with Percy J too! It’s also got various songs from musicals and albums. Thanks to you all for R/R-ing after reading this story. (Oo! I got you with an imperative! You have to R/R now!...Please?) I own only my OCs.
Vamos el capitulo numero uno!
Chapter 1
'Sup? The names Taisie Hemlock. I'm just an ordinary girl... except my Dad's Thanatos, Greek god of death and the night. I know the names ironic. Yes, hemlock is a poison. Shall I tell you more? Nah, I don't feel like it. Okay! Okay! Quit begging! I can see into your future. That's right. I can see how your gonna die. For instance... see that guy over there? He's gonna die in a car crash. Yep. And that girl? Gonna get murdered by her own boyfriend. Yeah, she has a boyfriend. Or at least will have. I can also talk to the dead and travel through darkness. Quit looking at me like that! I'm not a freak! All the Olympian kids are! My closest relatives are children of Erebus, Nyx or Hypnus. Stop laughing! I said stop laughing! I. SAID. STOP. LAUGHING!
I'm sorry about the face... it just changes when I'm angry or if I really want something. Why the skull? Weren't you listening? My dad is death personified! I know my eyes were glowing blue. Yes, my eyes are dark grey. So? Okay, okay! Don't shout! People are staring! Gods know you'd make a terrible spy or agent! Anyway, I'm kinda without a mother right now. She died giving birth to me. Dad said it was to end the pain; I suspect she hated me or something along those lines.
Where do I live? New York City, baby! Well, now anyway. I used to live at this camp. Camp Half-blood. It's sorta like a training place for demigods. I go there every summer now. I inherited my apartment from Mom but I wasn't allowed to even go there until last year. It was covered by the Mist. Mist? It's a thing that gods and monsters can do to cover things like our weapons and their appearance. Sometimes our own. No, I can't show you. Why? You can see through it. You’re special. You've got the Sight. Most demigods don't have the Sight. Sure we can see the weapons and certain other things but we can't see through disguises. I heard that the current Oracle of Delphi saw the pathway out of the labyrinth to find Deadalus, the great inventor. I don't know; I'm not the Oracle.
No. Demigods, for some reason don't have nanites in their bodies. I think its because we're half god. I was ten when it happened. The Event, of coarse. Don't play dumb. You know what I mean. When the nanites infected everything or so you thought. We don't know. Do you?
Yes, I have something to tell. It's a secret. I'm not telling! Fine, but I want a McChicken burger with fries. Okay, it's a story. About myself and someone else. Let me take you back a few weeks...
"Little shop! Lil shoppa horror! Lil shop! Lil shoppa terror!," I sang as I walked into the my cousins flower shop. She's sorta my cousin, anyway; she's a daughter of Demeter. "Call the cops! Lil shoppa horror! No oh oh no!"
She grinned and joined in. We sang as we pranced around her shop, "Lil shop! Lil shoppa horror! Bop she bop! Lil shoppa terror! Watch 'em drop! Lil shoppa horror! No oh oh no!"
I broke off, "Shing a ling, what a creepy thing to be happening!"
"Look out! Look out! Look out!" my cousin, Rose is her name, sang dancing about with her namesake.
"Shang a lang, feel the sturm and drang in the air!"
"Yea-yea-yeah!" Rose sang.
"Sha la la, stop right where you are! Don't move a thing!" I sang. Rose joined back in with peonies in a bunch. "You better, telling you better, tell you mama something’s gonna get her! She better- everyone better beware! Comma comma comma! Lil shop! Lil shop of horror! Bop she bop! You'll never stop the terror! Little shop! Little shop of horror! No oh oh no oh oh no oh oh oo ooooh!" We collapsed laughing on a small couch customers were supposed to sit on whilst waiting to be served. The place was over grown with flowers and Rose had grown every last bud. She's a twenty one year old florist and she's already tops! She's like my guardian, I suppose.
"How are you, Tais?" she asked me when she got control of her giggles.
"Fine, just checking in," I smiled. "How's Audrey II?"
"It's already eaten a lot of flies, Taisie," she laughs at my little joke. She has the city's largest Venus fly trap in the back room. "How was summer at camp?"
"Good. Dad sent me a pair of stygian twin blades for a late birthday present," I confess. "I'm already really good with them. They feel better than a sword. I think its the metal."
"You sound like a Hephaestus child now, Tais," she rolled her eyes. She checked the clock. "I'm off to do a delivery soon, Taisie. I-" The a loud set of screams launched themselves at us. I had to cover my ears briefly before running outside.
"Woah," I spotted the giant plant thing. "An EVO." I tapped my choker necklace. Two dark shapes appeared in the air in front of me. No one but me could see them. I snatched them from the air and to all that had the sight or were demigods they were visible. I ran at the thing, determined to see what I could do against it. It was a big, huge, massive fly trap man!
I jumped and felt my body turn sideways as I leapt from a near-by wall. As my body was pulled down by gravity (Yeah, it sucks.) I leaned my head forward and reached my blades out at the eye of the plant man.
"Hey, Audrey II!" I shouted as I stabbed its eye. "πηγαίνετε στην κόλαση*!" I couldn't believe I made an actual injury. Green ooze ran down its...er, face?... Anyway, I stabbed down and took off my gloves. I placed my finger tips on the plant man and felt the dark going through them and into the life force of the thing. I heard helicopters but closed my eyes so I coudn't be distracted. I pushed the darkness harder. I must do this! I thought desperatly...
What? Yes, I can kill by just a touch. It's a thing to do with being Thanatos' daughter. Now let me carry on. When's my burger getting here? Whatever, anyway...
