Claiming:Camp/Reese Davis

Name : Reese Davis

Age : 15

Gender : Male

Species : Demigod

Godly Parent : Aphrodite

Mortal Parent : Beau Davis

Personality : Reese, when first met, is a rather quiet and reserved boy. Once a person gets to know him he opens up and becomes very sociable and out going. He is kind and protective of his friends and family as well as generous and forgiving. He can be very energetic as well, bouncing from one project to another and back as he sees fit, especially when it comes to different fashion projects. He loves clothing and just fashion in general and hopes to one day become a famous fashion designer.

History : Beau Davis was, to put it simply, a natural born charmer. He had the perfect look, an amazing personality, and a smile to die for. He would have females falling at his feet wherever he walked (figuratively of course). He was of a different breed, a man with no equal. That is until a certain party on New Years Eve. There he met the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her hair was like golden silk, her skin pale perfection and her eyes, which Beau was most enchanted by, were the color of pale glaciers. He approached her and they talked for most of the party, neither danced they just sat together on the couch talking. Beau hung on her every word as she told him her life's story, to this day he couldn't remember all that she had said as the memory seemed a bit foggy to him but he could remember not wanting to miss any bit of it. When the party was coming to a close he found that Anneliese, that was her name and it was utter perfection on the tongue, was the hostess of the party and this was her home. As the guest dwindled and he prepared to leave Anneliese asked him to stay the night and he did....

Beau woke up the next morning in his home with little memory of what happened after the party ended and no idea how he wound up in his own bed. He searched around for weeks looking for Anneliese in all of his social circles, but no one knew who she was and lack of a last name didn't help. After one whole month he gave up the search of the beauty he had met at the party that night, though he still held onto the hopes that one day he might see her again. About eight months later his wish was granted one early Sunday morning when a someone knocked on his door. When he opened it he was surprised to find a very real and very pregnant Anneliese. He stood there flabbergasted until she asked for permission to enter, which he gladly permitted. He made sure she was comfortable, got her a few pillows for her back whilst she sat on the couch, made sure the room wasn't too hot and even got her a cup of herbal tea and an apple. She smiled at the fruit in her hand as if it held some long hidden secret then placed it on his living room table. She asked Beau to sit and he complied, then came the explanation. He sat there for a good ten minutes as his dream girl told him a fanciful tale, one where the Gods and Goddesses of Greek lore were real and walked the Earth. One were beasts you heard about in fairy tales were real and some could even walk among humans with ease. A tale where Gods would mate with mortals every once and a while and that union would create a Demigod. One where Anneliese was a goddess and the child, his child, she bore was one such demigod. He laughed and said it was a good joke, but it was time to stop. She sighed and smiled a sad smile. His window opened suddenly and a bevy of doves flew in through the window. They fluttered above Anneliese's head as she was bathed is a golden light. Her appearance also started to shift, she appeared as different women, each one more beautiful than the last. Beau sat there awestruck as this all occurred and held that look as it ceased. Anneliese was Anneliese again and the doves and the light were gone. It was like none of it had ever happened. Right then and there he believed her and she stayed. But Beau thought it was forever, and she knew it was not.

A few weeks later Reese was born and they were both happy. He had his mother's eyes (well, the eyes she had around Beau) and a strange, teal hair color. Neither of them could figure out why so Anneliese, well her true name was Aphrodite, made his hair look blonde so the doctors wouldn't ask questions. They moved out of the big city to a more rural area, an old but well kept house Beau's grandparents left him, and made themselves comfortable. The first three months of his life were heaven for his father, but one day Beau awoke to Reese crying in his crib. He could've sworn Anneliese had gone to check not too long ago. He got up and walked to his son's room to find him alone in his room and the door to the small terrace off of it wide open, the curtains blowing in the night breeze. He walked to the crib to find his son laying there next to a note, two necklaces and a sheathed sword, it's hilt wrought in the shape of a dove with a ruby in the shape of an apple decorating the pommel. Upon his son's forehead was a red lipstick mark, as if he had been kissed there, but it soon faded away in a sparkle of pink. He picked up his child along with the note. He sat in a nearby rocking chair to soothe his child and read the note. When he opened it the smell of apples and roses wafted from it, somehow she always smelled like that exact combination. He closed his eyes for a moment then opened them to read:

My dearest Beau,

''I am sorry I must leave on such short notice, my dear. If I had a choice I would stay with you and Reese but this is out of my hand. So with this note I leave you a few keepsakes and instructions. The first necklace has a small little clockwork dove, have Reese wear it. It is very special, made of a metal called Celestial Bronze. It is enchanted to be nearly invulnerable and to defend him against monsters who wish to do him harm. This little dove may not be able to save his life, but it will be able to hold a danger off until you are able to save him. The second necklace is a crystal, it's properties and abilities are a secret and shall be known only to him. There is another note next to it that only Reese will be able to open and only when the time is right. The last thing is a sword. This is for you, it is made from the same material as the dove and will also be able to slay monsters. Use this to defend our son. Whenever you hold it in his defense your resolve will never falter. It will not give you the strength of a demigod or the power of a god, but courage whilst you defend something you love is just as good. Beau, I want you to love our son as much, no more than you loved me. He will need that love as all children do. Protect him. And know that I will always watch over both of you with all the love in the world.''

With love everlasting -A

When Beau finished reading the note he had tears in his eyes. She was really gone. But he would abide by her request and love his son more than her loved her. He would defend him with his life. He kissed his son's forehead where his mother had before walking him back to his crib. He picked up the dove necklace and placed it about Reese's neck before grabbing the other items. He found a small little box decorated with doves and placed the second necklace and note for his son within. He played with the sword before putting it up in a closet, right next to the box. He then returned to his son's room and slept in the rocking chair, like a vigilant guardian.

For the next ten years Beau raised Reese with as much love and kindness as he could muster. His boy grew up a happy, bouncing child, though school was a bit challenging because of his Dyslexia and ADHD, though the former was much milder than the latter. Reese went to school and picked up on most subjects rather easily, though his favorite classes were art and French. Those two came so easy to him. One day after school Reese was in his bedroom drawing random sketches of what he thought his mother, the mysterious woman who disappeared one night, might look like. He both loved and hated doing this because every time a sketch started looking just right, his mental image of her changed and everything was wrong. It was very confusing but he kept doing it because he hoped one of these days, a picture would stick. As he was drawing he heard a tapping at his window. He looked up and saw three doves sitting on his window sill. He walked over and opened the window sitting down and smiling at the little creatures "How are you all today?" He said to the white birds. What he had not expected, was an answer from them. A chorus of "Very well, Thank you." came as an answer to Reese's question and he was shocked to say the least. He then had a whole conversation with the birds on how they could only talk to him and no one else. He decided to keep it to himself because his father would no doubt think he was crazy. So it became his little secret, kept between him and the doves.

Two months later, Beau needed to hire a nanny for Reese so that his son wasn't alone between the time he got off of and the time he got home. He had lined up about ten candidates for the position but only one showed up, her name was Beatrice. She had all the proper qualifications and experience so Beau saw nothing wrong in hiring her for the job.
