My name is Isabel faun and this is my story. Things seemed well, "normal" until I saw things differently. I saw scary things. Sea monsters, deadly pigeons, big dogs with red eyes, fire breathing dragons, you name it. I saw it. I lived in key west all my life until some guy told me to go to a place called camp halfblood. I was told to bring my little brother jet with me. My story starts at the pier....
Chapter one: jet learns to fly
I was walking around at the pier at sunset. That's the best time to go because bands come out and play and lots of entertainers come. I went there every night to escape my step mom and my dad. They treated me and jet like freaks. They would probably even be happier if we left and let them be happy with their other daughter, my step sister Joni. I walked into a little bakery where I always bought me and jet a cookie. Jet was my 7 year old brother. He had blonde hair and blue green eyes like me. I did everything with him. I never let him stay at home with just dad, step mom and Joni.
"iz? Can we go eat our cookies on the big tree?" jet asked me.
"sure!" I smiled. I held his little hand and we walked over to our favorite tree. We were both great tree climbers and could hold our breath for a long time underwater. Our swim team coach was amazed. We sat at the very top branches and ate our cookies. Jet ate his slower than usual. "are you ok jet?" I asked him.
He looked at me with sad eyes. "I failed my spelling test again. I couldn't read the words." jet was dyslexic and ADHD like me.
"its ok buddy! You will ace that test next time! I just didn't help you study as well. I'll make sure you get a hundred next time!" I ruffled his hair.
He looked at me hopefully. "I really wanna get atleast one good grade!"
"me and you both." I sighed.
Once we finished our cookies I started to climb down the tree. Jet slipped and fell towards the ground. "jet!" I screeched.
Suddenly, jet froze in mid air. He floated to the ground. He opened his eyes. "whoa! Did you see that!" he said excitedly. "I like flew!"
I couldn't believe my eyes. My little brother could fly?

Chapter two: Joni the jerk and other family members
Me and jet walked home after his flying experience. I knew we were different but flying? That's just wierd. When we got home I went inside to grab our dinners. My dad made them for us but my step mom refused to. "hey dad we are home!" I yelled. I grabbed mine and jets plates to take to our tree house. We lived in the tree house to keep away from Joni and step mom.
"hes not home Lizzie." Joni smirked.
"it's izzy." I muttered.
"whatever dizzy! Wheres little jet? That twerp needs to clean up my guinea pigs cage." Joni said.
"it's your pet you do it!" I scowled.
"so me and mom let you guys stay here so you gotta pay for your stay." she smirked.
"we live in a tree house and half the time, I buy my own food! You and your mom are useless pigs." I said as I stormed outside.
"that's not a nice way to treat family!" she smirked.
"YOUR NOT FAMILY!" I shouted slamming the door behind me. I climbed up the stairs in the tree house and put the food on our little table. "dinner jet." i said as I started to eat my sandwich.
"yes!" he put his book down and ran over. He was determined to learn how to read. "did Joni the jerk give you trouble?" he asked with his mouth full.
"when does she not?" I smirked.
"true." he said.
We ate the rest of our dinner in silence. I threw our paper plates away. "Dad and step mom weren't home. That's probably a good thing." I sighed.
"probably. I wanna meet our real mom." he sighed.
"I met her once. She found out she was pregnant with you and told dad. After you were born she left you on our front steps. Step mom wasn't to happy. But I was." I smiled.
"why didn't she take us? Why did she leave us with dad?" he was so confused.
"those are questions I just can't answer." I sighed.

Chapter three: just doin my job
The next morning it was a Saturday. I brought jet to his friend Jonahs house to let him play while I went to work. I worked at a little ice-cream shop called frozen Florida. The shop was on the peer so I could watch boats go by. I got to work and put on the little flamingo hat. I was waiting for a customer but a customer I didn't want to serve walked in.
"hey Isabel!" Peter smiled.
"hey Pete. So what do you want?" I asked. Peter wasn't mean. He just gets on my nerves. He always has to seem perfect. Good grades, and incredibly hot. He was also nice but out of all the girls that flirt with him, he's never had a girlfriend.
"chocolate with cookie dough." he sat down on the stool while I made his ice-cream. "here ya go." I handed it to him.
"thanks." he handed me five bucks. "keep the change." he winked.
I rolled my eyes. "you gotta hit on every girl?"
He smirked. "I wasnt hitting on you. And how come every girl thinks I flirt with them! I'm not looking for a girlfriend. I'm waiting for the right girl to come along." he licked his ice-cream.
I smirked. "ok well good! I don't like you anyways!"
"umm ok but I thought we were friends?" he said.
I smacked my forehead. "please forget I said any of that."
"ok well I'll catch ya later." he walked out.
Sometimes I thought Peter was a demigod. He seemed different like me and jet. Could he be a demigod? This question lingered in my brain.

Chapter four: jet finds out
Yes it's true. Ive known all along we were demigods. I just didn't know how to tell jet. Nesoi would speak to me in dreams and tell me things about some camp I needed to go to. To go, I would need to tell jet about it. I walked along the docks in the town.
"hey iz." Peter ran up to me.
"hey." he smiled slightly. "can I ask you a question?"
"sure." he shrugged.
She took a deep breath. "are you a... Uh... I don't know... Demigod?" she asked.
"depends... Are you one?" he asked.
"yes." I muttered.
"son of Apollo." he smirked.
"daughter of nesoi. I knew it!" she laughed.
"was it my looks and musical talent?" he laughed.
"no." she blushed. "you just seem different."
"get that a lot..." he smirked. "does jet know?"
"nope. Nesoi says it's time to go to camp." she sighed.
"my dad is saying the same thing!" peter said.
I smiled slightly. "all I need to do is tell jet, pack and find a quick way to new York."
"I'll provide the ride." he smiled. "you and jet meet me here in two days." he said.
"why two days?" I asked.
"so you can get ready and I have to get ready and spend time with my mom and all the girls I'm leaving behind." he laughed.
I rolled my eyes. "player."
"dude I'm kidding." he laughed
"I know I'm not an idiot!" I lightly punched him.
"well I should go." he smiled and walked off.
I walked home and found jet in the tree house. "jet, we need to talk..." I told him who our mom was and about the Greeks and camp halfblood and everything.
"oh..." was all he said...
