Charlie Allison was an alleged 'ghost hunter' and renown for solving mysteries of 'ghosts. One night, he was asked to investigate a haunting in a farm and he and his team of 'ghost hunters' went there immediately. There they saw a woman, who introduced herself as Forsythia Manson and Charlie almost instantly fell in love with her. Charlie asked "Forsythia" for her number and she gave it to him. A day later, Charlie called her and they talked and talked and Charlie asked for a date with her and Forsythia said yes. Charlie did the same routine for days and one night, they had an affair. Charlie never saw Forsythia again after that.
One night on May 16, 1996 there was a knock on Charlie's door and he opened it. It was Forsythia holding a baby, Forsythia explained to him everything. That she was a goddess, that the child is a demigod, and that Charlie needed to protect her. At first, Charlie couldn't believe it, but after a few thoughts he accepted it. She gave him a ring with a pearl on it and if the pearl was twisted it turned into a dagger. He named the child 'Serenity' after the serene feeling he got while he was with the goddess. When Serenity was three, Charlie met another woman, her name was Natasha Ruiz, a woman he met while on one of his "ghost hunts". Serenity didn't like her step-mother because she felt that she only wanted her dad's riches. In s chool, Serenity was always insulted. She was insulted because they thought her dad was crazy and that led her to being a loner. During her pre-teen Serenity only had a few select friends one was Reena but little did she know that Reena was a demigod. One day, a week after her 16th birthday as she was walking towards home with Reena, a hellhound attacked. Serenity was panicking and Reena slew the hellhound with a bow she conjured. She ran and Reena caught up with her and explained to her that she was a demigod. She ran home even faster and finally was there.
She asked her dad for the truth. She asked if what Reena said was true, and that she was really a demigod. Charlie explained everything. Who is her mother and how he met her, her true identity, and where she has to go. Serenity cried for a while until Reena got there. She told her it was the truth and that Serenity needed to accept it. Serenity stopped crying and toughened up, she asked Reena to get her to the Camp and fast. Charlie drove as fast as he could to Camp and on the way the trio were attacked by a small group of harpies. Reena managed to kill two of them and was knocked out by the third one, seeing this, Charlie shouted at her to twist the ring's pearl then she twisted her ring's pearl and watched it turn into a dagger and she threw it at the harpy. Reena managed to recover quickly and they drove even faster to make sure no monster attacks them. When they finally reached the near borders, Serenity quickly hugged her father then ran inside with Reena and was claimed by Melinoe moments after.
