History: Things in ittalics are told from Aerins POV

''I grew up modeling. My father had grew up in the business, so I had my first cover on a childrens magazine at age 1. I grew up with him by my side, as we sat on the balcony of our high-rise apartment and looked at the stars. He was the one who got me a tutor so that I could be homeschooled and focus more on my modeling, which was my passion until very recently. I never really knew why I had no mother, until the day I turned 14.''

''My dad woke me up early, saying that he wanted to tell me something very special. I walked lazily through our large apartment (if you somehow manage to stay in modeling for long enough, it pays off.) I went into his bedroom and saw a picture of a beautiful woman on the mantel. He told me that that was my mother, and that she was a very busy woman who lived overseas, in Europe. He told me there was a very slim chance that I would ever meet her, and that if I ever did, she probably would not spend a lot of time with me. This was what my dad thought she was, because that is what she told him. But that was a lie, as I found out the minute I walked out of my apartment.''

''My dad and I lived on an apartment that took up the entire top floor of our high-rise, which was 40 stories high. It was on Riverside Boulevard in NYC, overlooking the Hudson River. It was always amazing to go on our wraparound balcony and talk about things. But when I stepped out on the balcony on that day, plans for my birthday party in my head, I saw a frightening sight. A large dragon sat upon the front ledge snarling at me. I screamed, which made it lunge at me. I ran inside and slammed the door, running to the kitchen and grabbing a butcher knife. I raised high above my head and ran outside, the door slamming behind me. The dragon lunged again, more forcefully this time, and I felt like I was going to die. It was just plain luck when the blade connected with his head, a complete accident. He fell off the high rise and into the Hudson River below.''

''My dad came outside, and I whipped around, scared that there was another monster. He looked at the dragon blood on my body and told me to follow him. I was still shocked after my recent encounter, but I followed him back into his room and sat on his bed. The look on his face was one of pure terror. ''

"What did you just do?" My dad asked

"I dont know, I swear," I replied

''He looked at me suspiciously, then sent me to my room so I could think. I sat on my loft bed and looked out at the sky, which seemed so scary since the dragon had came out of it. I tried to exit the thought from my mind and went to sleep.''

''I woke up 2 hours later, to hear my dad screaming for help. I ran outside and saw a mutated sort of dog attacking my dad. I kicked the dog in the face and it released his hold on my dad and sniffed catiously, he turned to me for a second and then trotted out of the apartment. I smelled myself and realized that I still smelled like dragon blood. Somehow, my dad smelled more like demigod than I did, because of the time that we had spent together that day, causing the hellhound to attack him. I called the hospital and the rushed my dad away, because he was in pretty bad condition. I was alone in the high-rise, still wondering if I was safe.''

''My party that night was a sucess, and all of my friends (from modeling) were there and helped me celebrate. I forgot about the horrific parts of my day, and went to sleep peacefully.''

''My dad ended up dying from his injuries. In the will, I got the apartment and all of his money. A woman named Celene Seren adopted me and moved into the apartment, for it was bigger than hers. I took her last name and added it to my original one with a hyphen, becoming Aerin Clarity-Seren. I loved her as much as I loved my birth father. She got married to a man named Kenneth a week before my 15th birthday. Monsters did become a part of my everyday life, but I was getting better and better and fending them off. My new parents let me take archery lessons to help with my self-defense skills. They understood my circumstance much better than my dad did.''

''I did continue modeling, for it was how I honored my dad. Whenever I left a photo shoot, I thought of how happy he would have been. It made me sad to think of how he died, ripped apart by a hellhound. I often killed hellounds with extra vigor, if one happened to show up at my door. It made me more confident to know that I was now able to defend myself better.''

''On the day of my Sweet Sixteen, I woke up to a pile of gifts outside my door. My parents hugged me and watched me open my presents. My favorite was a silver bow and arrow, which my parents said could replace my wooden one. I had found a boyfriend, whoes name was Vincent, a couple months ago. He was nice and didnt just see me as a pretty face. He came at noon to help set up at the party space that I had picked out in Times Square. All of my friends came and we partied until midnight, when Vincent said he had something to show me. I followed him into a dark alley, and he whipped around to face me.''

"You cant hide anymore," He said.

"From what?" I replied

"Yourself," He said, starting to morph into a nine headed monster that snarled at me.

''My bow and arrow were with my parents, because I planned to show it off to my archery friends. But my parents heard my screaming and came. My mother was holding my bow and arrow, which I grabbed from her and shot Vincent with. He morphed back into a human and fell to the ground, dead. My parents told me to follow them to their car.''

''Inside the car, they told me all about their pasts. They were demigods, children of Athena, who grew up together at Camp Half-Blood. They told me that my birth mother was a god and that I needed to go to the camp to meet others of our kind. They led me inside the grounds and introduced me to the director, who led me inside. I have been inside the camp ever since.''
