If you think you have experienced a dangerous or adventurous life, think again. Mortals have it easy. I wish I could be a mortal. I want a regular life, but I don't have a regular life. I am a demigod, a child born from a Greek god or goddess. If you are reading this and you want to be a demigod, then that is one of the worst thoughts. Me and four of my friends adventure alone, facing challenges that needs to be faced, battling monsters, and even more treacherous things that need to be left unknown. I am Adam Lancaster, and I live the life of a Greek demigod.

"Well, this is it guys. I guess we have to live here for the rest of our lives." I said, not very enthusiastically. I have to live in the forest with my four friends, Tammie Levine, daughter of Hades, Britney Tanner, daughter of Athena, Doug Charleston, son of Hephaestus, and Schyler Greene, son of Ares. I am a son of Apollo. I have no clue why. I don't even resemble a sunny look. Everyone else, they match their godly parent's personality. I'm different, I guess.
"At least we have something. Look on the bright side of things." said Britney, failing to be optimistic. "Plus, it's only temporary until we find a good place to live."
"I guess that's true." said Schyler.
"We better settle in." said Doug.
"Yeah, lets start setting into our dangerous and dark new temporary home." said Tammie.
We started to empty our backpacks. We had everything that was surplus to surviving out here. I had my favorite weapon, my bow and arrow. I have never gotten a chance to use it. My mom gave it to me from my twelfth birthday. She said it was an authentic bow and arrow given to me by my real dad. I had no idea I was a Greek demigod at the time, so she used the term, real dad.
I emptied out everything else, and set it up. Sleeping bag, about one hundred dollars cash, a pillow, water, a kerosene lantern, food, and some clothes.
"Well, I guess this is home now." I said. I was devastated when I had to go. I had to leave my only parents and my only brother. It was very heart wrenching, but I will be able to visit sometimes when it's safe.
"I have an idea! Let's split up and scour the forest for stuff like sticks and leaves, and we can build a good sized fort for us to live in." said Britney.
"Yeah!" Tammie agreed.
So everybody split up, and scoured the forest. We found a lot of big sticks, quite a bit of leaves, and to our advantage, a large blue tarp. We picked up the tarp and took it with us. We all met back at our sleeping bags. Britney said, "I learned about the forts they built in school. I need Doug to help me do this too, since your dad is the god of engineering and building stuff."
"On it!" said Doug enthusiastically.
"Tammie, Doug, and I will watch your backs while you build the fort." I said.
"Okay." said Britney
We spread out in a circle and protected Britney and Doug while they built the fort. I had my bow and arrows ready, Tammie had her dagger ready, and Schyler had his spear up. Suddenly, we heard something. We had no idea what it was. Then, it came out to show itself. It was the ugliest thing I have ever seen. It had flaming hair, one leg was Celestial Bronze, the other was a donkey leg. It hissed in a horrid voice," I am and empousa, one of the daughters of the goddess of magic, Hecate. Son of Apollo, approach me."
I clutched my bow as tight as I could. My palms were sweating of fear. My knuckles were turning white. I walked toward the empousa. When I was face to face with her, she started to pucker up. "ADAM, SAVE YOURSELF!" yelled Britney at the top of her lungs. I ran away as fast as I could. She started to chase after me. I dropped my bow because of the fear. Schyler started to chase after the empousa with his spear. He chucked it at the empousa, and it barely stabbed her. The spear fell to the ground. Britney grabbed her dagger, and tried to climb on top of the empousa. She successfully got on her. She took her dagger, and stabbed the empousa in the back of the neck. The empousa fell to the ground. She started to turn to dust, and then the dust disintegrated.
Britney stood up in amazement. The first kill of our adventures. We were all so surprised, we all high fived Britney and gave her hugs."Britney, that was so amazing!" Schyler said.
"Thanks." I am pretty surprised I did that too. Night was approaching.
"Guys, it's almost night. We better get to sleep." I said
"I will take guard." said Britney.
"Me too." said Schyler.
"Okay then." I said.
So, Doug, Tammie, and I went into the fort and we slept the night away.
