Claiming:Broken Covenant/Melanie Rosemary Frentress - Accepted

Name:Melanie Frentress

Age:15

God Parent:Mnemosyne

Faction and Why: Opus because Melanie feels that it is her mother's fault that she has gone through so much pain and misfortune. She feels cursed and blames all the gods for this. Also, she feels that they are all irresponsible having children with whom ever they pleas; not even caring about their child's well being afterwards. She wants to be able to control who is worthy to have children with the gods because she doesn't want anyone to have to go through what she went through. History:Lester met Melanie's mom at a bar. He was wasted and kept going on and on about how his wife was going to divorce him. Melanie's mom seem interested at all, but they both ended up drinking too much. The bartender called a taxi for the two of them, but they ended up going only to lester's place. When they went into his house his wife was gone, and so Melanie was made.

The next day lester was woken up by his wife who kicked him out in anger. Although melanie's mom wasn't there it was obvious another woman had been in the house. Lester loved his wife and he begged her not to leave him, she responded with an "I'll think about it". For that week he left staying at a motel and continued to work. He was CEO at a major company, so he made plenty of money. After a few week of "thinking about it" Lester's wife forgave him somewhat and let him come back.

Things were going smoothly and life was good to lester, but some months later a baby arrived. She sat in a pretty basket with a necklace with a cross on it and a note. It said :

Lester.

''Although I only heard your name a few times,I was unable to forget it. Not for romantic reasons but because of who I am. I am a greek goddess and our daughter named Melanie is a demigod. She will face many obstacles, please care for her and when she is ready help will come''

-Mnemosyne

Sadly Lester's wife found Melanie first and was furious. She immediately packed her bags and left melanie on the front steps. Not too much time later lester found a hungry baby and a note on his porch. He was pissed as well, but decided he made enough money to just have a nanny raise her.Which worked out for seven years until her dad got arrested for a bar fight which caused him to get demoted to a very low office job.

From then on out she began being raised by her father. She was a good kid with an amazing memory and great grades. But, this didn't lessen Lester's hatred towards her. He began to blame all his problems and misfortunes on her, making him begin to abuse her. In school she began to keep to herself and not talk to much of anyone. If someone became suspicious of her well being, she'd pretend to be an upbeat kid.

It wasn't until sixth grade that she made a friend named Nicholas. He was a neighbor and was playing baseball when his ball flew through her window.Her dad barged into her room and beat her when he saw the broken window. When he finally calmed down she explained what had happen. He left her to deal with it, even though she was bruised. When she opened the door she quickly returned Nick his ball, he had been waiting patiently by the door, and heard her dad hitting her.He tried to ask if she was okay but her dad interrupted and told him to go home.

The next day they both had school and realized they were in the same class. Nick kept pursuing her as a friend wanting to protect her. When ever someone bullied her he was there to defend her. Slowly Melanie began to warm up to him. By the end of sixth grade they were best friends and her dad hated him.

In seventh grade they began to date, and her father didn't know. Towards the end of the school year  Melanie began to look more womanly. Her father began to notice this and one night while he was drunk he acted upon it. He molested her and told her that if she told someone she'd be taken away. Thus, she'd never see Nicholas again. Nicholas was her only friend and she was beginning to fall in love with him so she told no one about what her father was doing to her.

In eight grade she and Nicholas went through there first monster attack. It was a large hellhound and Nicholas was doing a good job of out running it and making sure Melanie did too. That's when a mutual acquaintance who turned out to be a satyr came and saved them. He found a way to distract the monster long enough to show Nick how to use his .

Nick defeated the hellhound saving both himself and Melanie. He had a few broken ribs, but the satyr gave him some ambrosia which fixed it up. They then went to Nick's house where the satyr explained everything to his parents. Nick was surprised but not surprised at the same time. His parents wanting him to be safe said their goodbyes (his brothers also said their goodbyes).

They then went to Melanie's house and her father wasn't nearly as caring. He kicked nick and the satyr out, saying his daughter wasn't going anywhere and if she died then she had insurance. Nick explained to the satyr Melanie's situation and the satyr asked why he never reported it. Nick responded with "When I told her that I'd report him she sobbed in my arms and begged me not to send her away."

So Nick decided to stay, because he loved Melanie too much to leave her in that hell hole alone. The satyr said he'd stay close by for when they were ready. Her father continued to rape and beat Melanie throughout the beginning of 9th grade. Nick kept trying to convince her to run away but she was too scared of her dad.

In the middle of 9th grade when Nick had just made 15 there was a baseball game. Nick of course was playing and melanie was on the sidelines cheering. Suddenly they were interrupted by the attacking of a cyclops. In the middle of the game nick and melanie jetted, but the cyclops of course followed. Their satyr friend came in the middle of their fighting. Melanie was working as the distraction as Nick attacked, but it was doing them much of any good. Their satyr friend quickly jumped in and melanie a knife, telling her to aim and throw it at the cyclops' eye.

Doing as she was told she got the cyclops dead center in the eye. Nick took that opportunity to run. The cyclops continued to follow, so nick hijacked a car (cause he's bad like that) and they quickly sped off towards new york. When the car ran out of gas they ditched it and began on foot to Camp. The encountered a few monsters like a hellhound and a fire breathing horse, but nothing Nick couldn't handle. Sometime during their travel the satyr remembered he had a bag of drachmas, and he summoned the Grey Sister's Taxi.

The ride was hectic but melanie had fun, although Nick ended up getting Nauseous. When they made it outside the gates of camp they met their old friend "the blind cyclops." somehow he was able to follow them even after they got on the car. The satyr paid the sisters and they quickly sped off. The cyclops blindly swung, depending on scent and hit melanie throwing her into a tree. This angered Nick and he began to attack, but he couldn't defeat it on his own.

Meanwhile Melanie was searching for her necklace which flew off when she was thrown. When she found it and picked it up she ran her fingers across each four points of the cross subconsciously, turning it into a fully loaded (with cb arrows of course) double headed crossbow. She was surprised but wasted no time and shot the cyclops in the heart. Where he turned to dust. Happily and safely they went into camp, Melanie had a few bruises but nothing she wasn't used to.

Immediately they were both claimed. Soon after though Melanie heard about the BC and was tempted to go but she knew nick wouldn't so she decided to stay at camp for him.But, after living at camp for a few months she began to resent the gods too much. This was because her uncontrollable ability to travel through time made her relive her child hood, it also brought her to the future where she saw her beloved nick cheat on her. She was unaware that the "cheating" happened because of her breaking up with him.

Her heart broken and filled with anger she decided to leave camp and transfer to bc. She felt that it was her mother's fault that she had to undergo all of the pain, misery, and anger that filled her insides. She wanted revenge and without he help of nemesis, seeing that all the gods are alike.
