My Best Friend

“My Best Friend”
-Bernadette Carangan
I used to feel very alone
When no one talked to me or even walked with me home
They made me feel unloved
When even my family won’t give me a hug
I lived through the years being told
That I would grow alone, old
People were harsh, I’ll tell you that
But it’s okay, I’ll tell you what.
I didn’t care of what they say
I knew that pain could go away
I know that one person would never hate me
That someone is someone I couldn’t see
No, I am not going mad
He is real, He makes me glad
Because I know He is by my side
He’s always there with His arms open wide
That someone is God, who is my best friend
Who never lets me down or any of His friends
i love Him and He loves me back
I know He’ll never make me sad
So go ahead and tell me that I’m not perfect
I won’t care, insults have no effect
Because I always know I have someone to run to
His name is God and He’s my best friend.
Never Fear Death

“Never Fear Death”
-Bernadette Carangan
We should never fear death
It is simply another plan set
A plan that no one wishes
A plan that everyone disses
Death is just one more stage in life
Where some things go wrong but some things go right
It is hard to move on when someone dies
Just like when you’re in love and filled with lies
Death is one thing to never fear
Death is just one of the words I hear
I never fear death when I’m with you
I hope you know that, because it’s true
Family, friends, loved ones, all of you
If death takes you away, I’ll hold on to you
Because if you die, some part of me
Will die with you, I’ll just leave it be
I was never afraid of death
It was never a threat
Because i tend to live with what I have today
And I’ll just pray to God that none of you will go away.

“Bree Tanner”
-Bernadette Carangan
“How would it be to live another life?”
Before I was changed with a bite,
I wondered this
And this was my wish.
Now that I know
What it feels like to be so cold
And be so white.
Just so you know, this isn’t right.
What we do seems right to me.
But now I’ve died, now I see.
What we do is a crime.
But if we don’t do it, we all die.
Riley turned me into this
To be a vampire, is not my wish.
But I can’t deny that this is kind of cool
With all this blood, I feel so full.
In this new life,
We’ve been learning how to fight.
But it’s never come to this
To other newborns, this is just a feast.
Riley brought us to war
He led us to a place that’s not that far
He brought us to a small town called Forks
Where we fought other vampires and big dogs.
In the end, we lost a battle
I felt so shaken up like a rattle
The enemy didn’t kill me
But in the end I wasn’t free
Dark cloaked figures with dark souls
They walked so graceful and were very old
The dark ones argued and talked about me
They were deciding if I were to die or be set free
With my eyes closed, Death was easy
Life is hard as we all see
I wish everything would be better
With my death, the death of Bree Tanner.
Xyrina Wynes and the Stolen Trident-7:I Dig a Hole for Zoe Nightshade

a/n: I’m sorry for changing some parts of the original Percy Jackson, by Rick Riordan. I do not own any of the characters and I had no right to change them. I’m sorry.
“How does it feel like saving the world?” I asked Percy.
Percy and I were on his bed. I had just finished cleaning some of his things that was scattered on the floor. Trust me, I didn’t know where to start.
Percy noticed that I was sweating, so he opened up a window. The cold wind rushed in and out.
Percy has just told me his last adeventure. Which was fighting the titan Kronos. And I just recently found out that he had bathed in River Styx. I’ve heard stories of the River Styx when I was simply 10. It’s kind of scary. He’s also told me of his Achilles’ heel. It was a nice choice of a weakness point. Unless of course he had no armour. That would totally suck.
Now you’re probably asking why Percy hasn’t called “Light’s out” yet. Well, one I couldn’t sleep and two, he couldn’t sleep either. See how very alike we are? Other than that, his stories are very interesting. I mean, a 16year old saving the world and the Olympians.
“Well, I’m both happy and sad about it. Happy because, I saved the world. I mean, you never get to do that everyday. It’s never a daily basis. And I’d never thought I’d be able to be a part of that battle. Sad because many demigods and friends were lost during that war. Most of them died a hero. Actually, all of them died a hero.” he said, he was sitting with his legs crossed in an indian seat. I was lying down on my back an looking at the ceiling. “Wow, a 16 year old saving the world” I said “I wish I could’ve been there to help”. “Nah, I’d actually prefer it if you didn’t help” he said “I don’t want to risk losing you”. I smiled.
That was by far, the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. I mean, he only knew me for a day, but he was saying that he didn’t want me to die, that he didn’t want to lose me. Knowing this made me happy. Knowing that I had Percy to be there by my side, I don’t know what to feel about thar. I was about to tell Percy something…
And then there was a knock on the door “Wait a sec’.” Percy said as he stood up and walked to the door. I rolled over to my stomach. I heard Percy open the door, “Nico?”. “Percy, thank gods you’re awake… Zoe Nightshade. She wants to talk to your sister” The Nico-kid said. “What?” I heard Percy ask. I stood up from the bed and walked over to where Percy standing. “She’s been contacting me–” the kid started to say, but then he saw me. “You must be Xyrina” the kid said, he held out his hand “I’m Nico di Angelo”. I shook his hand and smiled. I’ve heard so much of this kid. “What’s going on?” I asked them both. “I’ll tell you later. Nico, can you help me contact her?” Percy said. “Yeah. Sure.” he simply said.
**
“A little help?” I asked the Nico-kid, who was just sitting down on the ground and watching me dig a hole with Percy. “Leave him be” Percy said “He needs his strength to contact the ghots of the Underworld”. I just rolled my eyes and kept digging.
Once we were done. Nico brought out a lot of junk food and dropped them into the hole. He started to murmur some things, but I lost interest. So I just sat there. It was cold, so I was hugging my legs tight. I wish I’d brought a jacket. Percy would glance at me sometimes with a worried look on his face. I knew how much he wanted to give me a hug right now. I would give him a reassuring smile. Because as much as I wanted him to keep me warm, We weren’t allowed to touch. Annabeth said when we did, everything gets crazy.
When Nico was done, a silver mist was hovering over the pit with food. I stood up and walked beside Nico. “What’s happening?” I asked. “Come on, Nico!” Percy said. “I’m sorry! I’ve never summoned someone like her” Nico was turning pale than usual, and he had beads of sweat on his forehead, but he kept trying. Soon, the silver mist started to take some shape.
“Percy” the voice of a woman came from the silver mist. The shape turned out to be a woman, but she still glowed silver. She called for Percy, but she was looking straight at me with her Silver eyes. She was pretty, honestly. Her long brown hair was braided, she had fair skin but with the silver glow it looked like it was white,and she was wearing a white dress. So she really radiated light. “Ah, Xyrina Wynes” she said, smiling at me. After that, Nico collapsed. “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.” she assured us. “You wanted to talk to my sister?” Percy asked Zoe. “Yes, for one reason. I wanted to give her this” In her hand was a hair pin. “It’s a hair pin” I said, now I’m really really confused. She tossed it to me, and I caught it. In the next instant, the hair pin turned to a sword. It felt really light in my hand. I felt as if I were only carrying a stick. But It’s a sword. Now that, is awesome. “That is my Anaklusmos” she smiled at me. “Percy, can you explain to her the rest for her?” she said “I really need to go. Both Hades and Artemis does not approve me of doing this. I don’t really know why”. Percy nodded. I looked at her, “Thank you. Zoe Nightshade”. “Oh and I noticed you aren’t saying ‘thee’ or ‘thou’ or ‘thy’” Percy added. Zoe smiled, “Goodbye Percy. Goodbye Xyrina. May the gods bless you.” with that last line, she disappeared. We heard Nico groan. “We better bring him back to his cabin” Percy said, carrying Nico. The sword returned to it’s original form and I followed him.
“What did she mean by ‘explain the rest’?” I asked Percy. “The basics. I’ll tell you tomorrow while we’re swordfighting.” he simply said. When we got to the Hades cabin, Percy opened the door and went inside. It took him a while, but when he got out of the Hades cabin, he started running towards our cabin. “Come on! We better go to sleep!” Percy said. I ran after him.
I didn’t know why we were doing this, but it felt good. The cold breeze was right at our faces. I couldn’t help but smile I was running.
He got to the cabin first, he was laughing. I rolled my eyes as I got to cabin too. We both immediately plopped down to our beds, face down. We were both breathing heavily. I was seriously dead tired, and I felt my eyes carefully closing.
“Percy?” I rolled to my side so that I was facing him. “Yeah?” he sounded tired too.
“I love you. Brother-Sister way of course.” I told him.
“I love you too.” he simply said.
And then we both went to sleep.
Xyrina Wynes and the Stolen Trident-6:I Burn Some Food for the gods
Posted by MaxRamBerna | Filed under Uncategorized
“Whoa. And yet my mom says, my bedroom is messy”. That was my reaction to seeing Percy’s cabin.
Okay, back up. So, Percy and Annabeth gave me a tour it didn’t really take long. Percy even introduced me to Rachel Elizabeth Dare, who was the new Oracle. They showed me the Big House and the inside of it. It was like a Mini-Museum actually. There were things in there that were trophies from quests and battles. They also showed me the scarf that they got from their first quest. It was Aphrodite’s. And it smelled like Aphrodite. they also told me that they(Percy and annbeth) are currently dating each other. Actually they didn’t admit it, they just told me they liked each other. But considering the way they act when they’re together, and the way they look at each other. They are SO in a relationship. Anyway, They took me to each cabin. Each were empty though. The other demigods were having a chariot race. I looked at them weirdly and they told me that it’s normal here. So is capture the flag. I felt like I didn’t want to join that. So, here we are now, in the Poseidon cabin.
Honestly, he’s alone here but it’s seriously looks like a dump.
“Yeah, I live here alone. But Dad says that as soon as the seekers find our other siblings, they’ll be here. We don’t have much siblings though, just so you know.” he told me. “Okay, since I don’t know when the others are coming here. I have no choice but to clean this dump” I said. “I’m depending on you to clean this” Annabeth said.
I smiled, normally people would laugh or giggle at that statement. But believe it or not, I’m not the kind of person who laughs. When it’s ultra hilarious, i may laugh, but when it’s just an okay joke, I’ll only smile. It’s pretty rare to see me laugh. I smile though. with no teeth.so yeah, some people say that’s not a smile. But it’s a smile, trust me.
“Okay, we have one last cabin, the Hades cabin. It’s almost dinner. So we better hurry.” Percy said, leaving the cabin with his hands in his pockets. Me and Annabeth followed him. He was far ahead, but I didn’t care. I like just walking.
“So, What do you think?” I didn’t know it, but Annabeth was now beside me. Her hands were also in her pocket. “What?” I asked her. “How are you handeling the whole, “I’m-a-demigod” thing?” she asked me with a smile. “I guess, I’m fine with it. Although, I’m pretty shocked. Knowing that my dad is the god of the sea is really shocking. And then I find out I have a brother. I’m happy to say I’m older than him though.” I said. Annabeth ginned, “Yeah. It’s weird though”. “So, how long have you two been… together?” I said, finding a word not too offensive. I don’t know, maybe telling them that they’re dating is offensive. “We’re going to have our first anniversary on August 18″ she said. “Oh, Congrats.” I said, I didn’t have much enthusiasm in my voice. I guess some of you can say that I’m dark and gloomy. I got to go ask Chiron if he’s sure that I am a daughter of Poseidon, not a daughter of Hades. “You seem kinda sad. What’s wrong?” Annabeth said. “Nothing, I’m just really like this. I actually prefer to be alone. Not that I don’t appreaciate the company from you guys.” I told her. She simply nodded. “Come on, we’re almost there!” Percy yelled at us, he was seriously ahead of us. “We better go catch up” Annabeth suggested. I nodded. And we both ran until we were with Percy, who had already stopped walking.
“Whoa” was all I could say when I saw the Hades cabin.
“Only one camper lives here. Nico di Angelo, he was born before the treaty too. Son of Hades. He’s pretty cool. And considering your attiude. You might get along with him” Annabeth said.
The cabin was painted black. A flag was on the roof. The flag had a skull on it. The door was blood red. The doorknob was a skull. The windows were tinted.
Now, this, is GOTH.
It seriously screamed “danger! don’t come near this cabin or else you’re dead”.
“This is awesome” I simply said. “Yeah. He never gets a five out of five on inspection though.” Percy said.
From far away, a conch horn blew. “Dinner time.” Annabeth said, turning around and heading to the tables. Percy looked at me. “What?” I asked. “Nothing. It’s just nice to know that I won’t be eating alone tonight or ever again.” he said, starting to walk to the direction where Annabeth has gone off to.
I’ll admit. That was kinda nice. He told me that demigods of different godly parents are not supposed to sit down together during meals. So he always sat alone. But now that I’m here, he’s pretty happy. We sat at the Poseidon table. Annabeth gave Percy one last look before she went to her own table. Wood nymphs suddenly came out with platter of food. My stomach grumbled. I wanted something to drink, but my glass was empty. “Speak to it. It’ll give you whatever you want. As long as it’s non-alcoholic” Percy said as he took some food for me and him . That was weird, but I did it anyway. I held my cup with both hands and said, “Freeze”. I was thinking they didn’t have it since it was only found in Middle East (My mom was there once she got me some Freeze and it was awesome). But then my cup suddenly filled up with the fizzy drink. It was Peach flavored. I was sure of that. I took a drink. That is SO freeze.
I was about to take a bite out of my food when suddenly Percy and all the other demigods started standing up. I was confused but I stood up too. Percy came forward to the fire that was in the center of the pavillion, he said “Thanks Dad, Thank you Poseidon”. Then he cut off almost half of his food and then dropped it into the fire. He walked backwards until he was beside me. “It’s an offering to the gods. Other than that, they like the smell of the burnt food” Percy explained “Go on”. He pushed me. Not really pushed that I would fall, more like the encouraging push. I felt nervous as I watched a kid who wore all black, burn his offering and leave. Everyone watched me. Which I didn’t feel comortable about. I didn’t know what I would say but I did say this, “Thank you Poseidon for bringing me here”. I cut off the best part of my steak and burnt it. But instead of the smell of burning food, it smelled like chocolate. Which was weird.
“Come on. Let’s go back to our table.” Percy said, walking me back to the table. We ate in silence. Although at times Percy would look at me while he was chewing. I would look back and he would just smile. I would smile back. And just continue eating.

“Anna! Wake up!”
I shot up from my bed, clutching my chest. I was breathing heavily and I felt the streams of cold tears that went down to my chin. My throat felt dry, which showed that I had been screaming.
My brother, Jeremiah, pulled me into a hug. “Shh. Shh. It’ll be be alright.” he said.
“Jer. Please make it stop.” I told him, as I buried my face into his chest. He didn’t reply. He just hugged me tighter. He and I both knew it won’t go away. We always knew.
“You better go get ready for school.” he whispered in my ear. He gave me one last squeeze on the shoulder and left.
I buried my face in my hands and I ran my hand through my hair. I wiped the streams of tears of my face. I was still early. The sun wasn’t up yet. But Jer and I knew that I couldn’t go back to sleep once I woke up.
I got up from my bed and took my towel. And of course, did what I normally would. Take a good hot shower.
**
“Jer?” I stepped into the kitchen. “Yeah?” he was sitting around the table and typing on his laptop. “Can you drop me off to school?” I asked him. “Yeah. Why?” he replied, not looking away from the screen. “I just, wanted to get there early today” I said, as I grabbed the plate of pop tarts that was beside him. I bit one and chewed carefully. “Oh and I’m going to be in Alyson’s house later, we need to finish out project.” I told him. “Yeah. Sure. What time will you be going hom?” he tore his eyes away from the screen. “I don’t know. I’m just gonna take a taxi home.” I told him, dropping my pop tart on the plate. “Ok.” he said.
Yes, this is how our morning always goes. We never talk about anything crazy or family issues or dad. We never really open up to each other. We got that from our dad.
Xyrina Wynes and the Stolen Trident-5:I Make Water Come Out of Walls
Posted by MaxRamBerna | Filed under Uncategorized
Water shot out of the walls and the earth shook terribly. “What’s happening?” I said as I pulled away from the hug and clutched Percy’s fore arm. I could hear people (or demigods) screaming at the top of their lungs outside of the Arena.
Suddenly a blond girl, came bursting through the doors of the Arena. Her gray eyes came upon mine and my hand that clutched Percy’s Arm. “Let go of his arm!” she told me. I did as she said, she had this voice that can probably order anyone to do something for her. And somehow, when i let go of his ar, everything was silent. the earth shook no more. “Oh gods” the blonde said, dropping to her knees. I guess she was trying to steady herself. I mean who wouldn’t steady theirselves after what just happened?
“Annabeth? What the Hades just happened?” Percy asked the blond.
“You and sister makes quite a lot of chaos. For future reference, i recommend that you two don’t touch, hug, or even high five.” she said, getting up to her feet.
“Why?” I asked her.
“Mainly because Percy is powerful and you’re powerful and that both of you are the child of Poseidon. Who is one of the Big Three.” she explained, approaching both me and Percy.
She held out her hand, “I’m Annabeth Chase. Daughter of Athena.” I shook her hand, “I’m Xyrina Wynes. And I guess I’m a daughter of Poseidon”. I tried my best to be friendly, but friendly is kind of not my thing. “I know. Chiron told me as soon as he found out that there was another child of the Big Three. I was the one who told him of my theory that you were in the Lotus hotel for a very long time, like Nico di Angelo. You’ll be meeting him soon” she told me. Okay, so Percy said that most of us had dyslexia… but how is she so smart. I mean, yeah, she’s a daughter of Athena, but WOW. “You knew? and you didn’t tell me?” Percy said, he kinda sounded as if he were growling.
“Yes, I knew, But Chiron told me not to tell you unless she was finally here” she said, starting to walk outside. “Come with me” Percy told me as he followed after Annabeth. “Why?” he asked her as soon he caught up with her. “Mainly because he knew that you would automatically go look for her. And you know what happens when you do things unsupervised.” she said in a DUH tone. “No more questions. We need to give her the tour and if we finish just in time, we could go get dinner as soon as the horn blows and go to sleep.” she said. Percy slid his arm to Annabeth’s waist. I personally thought that Annabeth would go and break his arm, instead they both stopped walking and Annabeth gave him a peck on the lips.
Honestly, that kinda shocked me. I mean from the way they were both acting, it looked as if they were mortal enemies. And then that happens. I stood there Wide-eyed.
Annabeth gave a loud laugh, “Percy you might wanna explain to her before lights-out”. “Yeah, you might wanna do that” I replied. Percy chuckled, “Okay. Where should we start?”.
Xyrina Wynes and the Stolen Trident-4:I Go To Camp
Posted by MaxRamBerna | Filed under Uncategorized
(A/N: If I get some things wrong about Percy Jackson characters or about camp half blood I am sorry.)(Oh and guys, I wrote this Chapter before I read the Last book of percy Jackson. Chapter 6 is written right after I read it.)
I didn’t really pack much. I was in the car now, riding shotgun. I hugged my bagpack tighter, looking out in the window. I just packed two pairs of jeans(including the one I was wearinog now), seven shirts(also including what I was wearing), and a pair of sneakers(the ones I’m wearing now). Which were all the things I had in my closet. We’re not poor, if that’s what you’re thinking. I’m just not that kind of person who asks for things.
“Mom? Where is this camp you’re telling me about?” I asked my mom. We’ve only been in the car for 5 minutes, but because of my ADHD, I seriously want to run outside. “Long Island. We’re almost there so just be patient.” she told me. “Mom, you’re telling a ADHD kid to be patient. Aren’t you thinking that’s kind of impossible?” I asked my mom. “Okay, okay. I’m sorry.” she simply said.
**
When we got there, my mom dropped me off to somewhere in the middle of the forest. “Uh, mom? What are we doing in the middle of a forest?” i said as i got out. She pointed behind me. I turned around, and my eyes widened. And there it was. There was an Archway as an entrance on it were some greek words that i didn’t understand, but part of me said that it said “CAMP HALF BLOOD”.”What’s Camp Half Blood?” I asked. But she just simply walked until she was infront of the archway. “Chiron!” she shouted at the top of her lungs. Just right then a half horse, half man showed up infront of us. a centaur, my mind told me. My eyes widened and the man smiled at me. “Brenda. You’re looking as lovely as ever.” he told my mom. “M-mom? w-what is going on?” i asked her, stammering. “I need to leave you now Xyrina. Promise me you’ll take care of yourself. Follow whatever they ask you to do. And don’t go chasing after danger.” she kissed my forehead. “Chiron. Take care of Xyrina, I know she’ll be safe with you. And I just hope i’m not wrong” she told the centaur. “Mom? what is going on?” I asked again. “I’m not going to be the one to explain this to you. I have to leave you, ok?” my mom said. she sounded really close to crying, but trust me when i say she is the emotionally the strongest woman i know. I trusted my mom so i just nodded and hugged her goodbye. She smiled at me as she got back in the car and drove away, and THAT was the last I saw of her.
**
“So let me get this straight. I’m a daughter of Poseidon, I’m a demigod hero whatever person who has to train alongside with other demigods here in this camp, and monsters are after me?” I asked Chiron. He had brought me to the arena, he said it was probably the most private place to talk right now. He had already shown me the presentation. I just found out that greek mythology is ALL real, I don’t really believe in Greek Mythology but when Chiron said it, he made it all sound VERY real. “
Wait, you told me earlier that the Big Three are not suppose to EVEr have kids since the World War II. How am I here then?” I said. I’m sorry, being stubborn is kind of my thing. I CAN’t be a daughter of a god. Can i? I mean, I’m just a kid with ADHD and dyslexia, I can’t possibly be a demigod, can i?
“Yes. I have thought of that too. and I found out how. Were you in a hotel in Vegas?” he asked me. “YEah, it was called the lotus hotel. me and my mom went there for a vacation. my mom just suddenly said we needed to go and maybe it was just me, but since then, everything changed in new york city” i said, shrugging. “Never go to that hotel ever again. it’s a trap. it makes time go faster. you were there longer than you thought you were.” he said. Well, it did kind if feel like it.
“Chiron, the race’s about to–” a guy said. he had dark messy haid and green eyes. his green eyes widened as he saw me. “Chiron, who–?” he said, he seemed confused. “Ah, Percy. This is Xyrina Wynes. You half-sister” he said. I looked at chiron, “What?”. “He too is a child of Poseidon. but he was born after the treaty.” chiron explained. i stood up and walked to my so-called half-brother, he too did the same. we looked so much alike, it was so weird. it was like looking at a guy version of me. “Hi” he said. “I am Percy Jackson.” he said. “I’m Xyrina Wynes.” This was all too weird for me. “So, I really am a demigod?” I asked him. “You’re here aren’t you?” he said, smiling. “I-i can’t be a demigod. I have adhd and dyslexia, and i’m pretty sure that is not demigod material” i said. “You’re adhd is for your battle skills, it helps you to have strong reflexes. your dyslexia makes you see more than you need to see.” he explained. this can’t be happening. “Well, I have always wanted a brother.” i shrugged. he smiled. “Welcome to camp half blood” and then he did something that I was not expecting, he hugged me. but that was when all hell broke loose.
Xyrina Wynes and the Stolen Trident-3:I Tried To Think
Posted by MaxRamBerna | Filed under Uncategorized
“What is going on?” I asked my mom. “You are better off not knowing, Xyrina. Just trust me.” she assured me. “Mom. I trust you. but maybe i can help. If you could just tell me–” I started to say. “No. I can handle this. You don’t need to help. There’s not really much trouble.” She cut me off. But she was lying. I can tell she was.
**
When we got home, she got out of the car and into out apratment faster than anyone can say ‘car’. Whatever was going on, I can tell it isn’t good. As soon as I got out of the car, I went up to our apartment. The door was wide open when I entered. The basket was on the carpet floor, I can tell it fell from the couch. I picked up the basket from the floor and brought it to the kitchen. My mom’s bedroom was near the kitchen, so when I was on my way to the kitchen, I heard voices. Mom was probably talking to someone on the phone. I continued to the kitchen and placed the basket on the counter. I could hear my mom’s muffled shouts from her room. I sighed and went to my bedroom. I really wanted to know WHAT THE HECK is going on? My mom looked very nervous the whole time when we went to the beach. She’s rarely nervous. She’s more of the calm and Collected person. I plopped on my bed face first. I sighed. I hate not being involved in something major. I sat up and crossed my legs. I’m not giving up, I’m going to find an answer. But because of my ADHD, I kept on shifting positions. And at last, I gave up, when I was already fully stretched out on my bed and I was staring at my ceiling. I couldn’t think of an answer.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, “Yeah?” I said, sitting up. “Xyrina, honey? Can you come out here just for a while? I just need to talk to you.” My mom said from the other side of the door. “Uh yeah. Sure” I replied, getting off my bed. When I opened my door and entered the living room, my mom was sitting on our blue couch, we rarely use that couch. Just because it didn’t face the TV. I sat beside her. She took me under her arms and I leaned on her. Just like the way we did when I was 8. She played with my hair. “I know that you really want to know what I’m worried about. And be part of it. But I fell that I am not the right person to tell you these things.” She said. I simply nodded. My mom has her reason’s she always has. and I respect her for that. “Xyrina, I need you to do something for me.” She said. I sat up away from her arm, “Sure anything mom”. She smiled at me, but even that smile couldn’t get rid of that feverish look she had on her face. “I want you to take your summer vacation early and go to a camp that I’ve signed you up for.” she said. I felt my eyes widen, “Sure. But mom, are you sure? you’ve always said that education–”. “yes, Xyrina. I’m Sure. Go Pack. We’ll be leaving in an hour. ” My mom cut me off, standing up. “Now? We’re leaving now?” I asked her, also standing up. “Yes. Go Pack.” she said again, right before she disappeared into the kitchen. And for a moment, I couldn’t walk.
Xyrina Wynes and the Stolen Trident-2:We Get a Visit From a Guy in a Suit

“Mom, I’m home!” i said as i entered our house. but before i could close the door, my mom gave me a lung crushing hug. “Thank god you’re okay!” she said, pulling away. “Why shouldn’t i be?” i said, as i closed the door. “Nothing. Mr. Brunner called me, he told me about the incident” she said going into the kitchen, i followed her. “I’m sorry mom. i’m not even sure if it was my fault–” i started to say. “it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re safe” she cut me off. she was paler than usual and she was sweating. “mom, is there something wrong?” i asked her. she gave me some water. “Nothing. I’m just a bit stressed” she said. a bit stressed? she looked feverish. but i didn’t want to push it, i know she’ll tell me when she’s ready.
i left the kitchen and went to my bedroom. i wish my dad was here. i never knew my dad. my mom said he left when i was just in her womb. my mom always said that i was so much like him. she also said he also had green eyes and black hair.
it was already friday, by the way. i loved friday’s. why? my mom would always take me to the beach where she and my dad met. she loved the oceans. surprisingly, so did i. i always felt at peace whenever we go there. so i packed an extra shirt and shorts, just for the trip. i went outside to find my mom, already on the couch waiting for me. she had a picnic basket beside her. “all ready?” she asked me. i nodded and smiled.

the ride to the beach was really silent. we didn’t talk and my mom kept glancing around nervously. i was getting nervous. my mom didn’t normally act like this.
when we got to the beach, even the waves were acting strange. the waves were strong and huge. and the wind was blowing like crazy. the waves roared as they crashed and when they crashed they almost reached the cottages.
we went to our favorite cabin. you would always remember which one it is because it’s kind of wrecked. but every week we would try our best to fix it up a bit.
my mom layed the picnic blanket on the damp floor. i made a fire to keep us warm because of the cold wind outside as my mom prepared the food. she brought us some pie. blueberry pie to be exact. what is with all the blueberries? i don’t really know. but i don’t mind, i never get tired of my mom’s cooking.
“Mom?” she gave me a peice of pie. “Yeah?” she asked as she took one for herself. “Tell me again what’s dad like” i requested. although i’ve heard say things about my dad a thousand times, i would never get tired of it. “Well. He loved the oceans. Just like you and me. We met here in this very cabin. I would go here every Friday, like i do now. And one day he was just here. and we connected. He said i was as pretty as the oceans.” my mom smiled as she remembered. “You remind me so much of him, Xyrina.” she said, taking a bite out of her pie. “Did he have ADHD and dyslexia like i do?” i asked her. “No. He wasperfect, i’m not saying you perfect, xyrina.” she added quickly. “It’s okay, mom, i know my flaws.” i said “Why did he have to leave?”. “He had to leave because…” she drifted off, i have never asked her this question, she was reall thinking abotu it. “I don’t really know. He just had to” my mom said” she played with the last bite of her pie. we didn’t talk after that. we just stayed silent and slowly finished the pie.
“We’d better go, it’s getting late” my mom said, as i took the last bite to my last pie. I nodded and started helping my mom. Then suddenly there was a knock on the cabin door. it was a strong loud knock and the door looked as if it were about to break. The person behind the door knocked again. my mom stood up and cautiously opened the door. Behind the door was a man. he wore a suit, as if he was going to a meeting. my mom backed away from the door, “Why are you here?”. “I am here to bring you news” the man said with a sly smile. “AH, Brenda. How long has it been?” the man said. “Hermes. You have no business being here. I have heard the news. Leave” my mom said, feircly. “Who told you?” the man said. My mom didn’t answer. The man looked at me. “Ah, i see. Well, i should be leaving now” the man left. “Mom, who was he?” i asked her. “WE should go now” she said, not answering my question.
What is going on?
