Voices. It's all he heard in his dreams.
'your different Seth.... This won't be your life for long. You were born strong. To help me take over...' the voice of ate spoke to him.
Ate would send him nightmares of him killing people and leading an army. He would wake up screaming but all ate would say was, 'it's only the future.'
By the time Seth turned 6, he knew he was different. He knew he was born for a reason. He had been kicked out of preschool a few times and even day care for injuring the other kids. The teachers would notice how his eyes would turn red if he was angry. His brown hair started becoming black.
"why do you do this stuff!?" his dad Timothy had asked him. Seth was 9 at the time. "tell me seth!" his father yelled.
Seth stared at him with hatred. "it's what I was born to do! I will follow moms commands!" Seth would yell.
By the time Seth was in middle school, he had to have a police man in every class with him incase he misbehaved. He had tried to cut a kids throat with a plastic knife at lunch once. After that he had to be watched at all times.
Highschool was a different story. His hair was completely black now and his eyes stayed red most of the time. Seth had met another demigod named sienna. Sienna was a daughter of a minor god and she had the same dream Seth did: to over throw the gods of Olympus. They had to try to get into camp halfblood but it wouldn't be easy to hide such a plan and how to not get betrayed by other demigods they teamed up with. "we have to choose carefully." Seth said to sienna one night when they were packing their things. Seth was an only child so sienna was the only "friend" he had ever known. His step mom walked into the room. "where do you think you are going! You are not going to this camp if that's what you want! Never! You will try to be a normal human and continue your life here!" she blabbed on.
Seth and sienna sat there waiting for ates instruction.
'kill her.' ate said in his head.
Seth looked over at sienna and nodded. She pulled out her bow and arrows and shot his step mom. She fell to the ground holding her throat where she had been shot. "I have a job to do and I will destroy anyone who gets in my way." Seth said to the step mom as she took her last few breaths. "let's go before my dad gets home." Seth and sienna climbed out the window and ran to the nearest bus stop. Seth knew if he had stayed before his dad got home his dad would have tried to stop him and Seth would have to kill him. He couldn't do that even though he hated his father. Some part of him told him not to. He had devoted his life to helping ate so it was to late to turn back.
They reached the bus and headed to camp. Along the way they ran into a chimera at a resturaunt. They fought hard until it came to a decision. The chimera had them both trapped in it's hands. Sienna knew Seth couldn't die and that he had to help ate. "I'm sorry Seth." she said before she jabbed the chimeras paw. It's viper tail bit into siennas back and she fell to the ground. Before the chimera poison could kill her, she jabbed it in the stomach and it collapsed into a heap of dust. Seth fell into the pile and ran over to sienna as she fell to the ground. "d-d-don't let me die h-h-here." she said. Seth picked her up and ran to the woods as fast as he could. He couldn't let her die in a resturaunt. He was trying not to cry. He honestly didn't know how to cry. He laid her down on a soft patch of grass as the cool night air blew through the trees.
"Seth," sienna said quietly as he sat there holding her hand.
"yeah." he said in a shaky tone.
"I always l-l-liked y-you. Please c-complete the j-j-job for me. P-p-prove that minor gods are powerful." she smiled and with her last bit of strength she pulled his head down and kissed him. "be s-strong for m-me." she stared up at the stars smiled slightly and her breath was cut off.
Seth didn't cry. He was still holding her hand. His hatred and desire to destroy Zeus and the others was even greater. He kissed siennas ice cold forehead and ran off and wouldn't stop running until he got to the camp. He walked In and his real fight began...
