Chapter Text
Maggie POV
New York. How can I describe it the best? How about busy, big but impressive. Already seen cities like that. Because of my mother, who is a model, I've been at many places.
Okay, now please don't judge me like: oh, she must be so arrogant and so on. I don't need something like that. Yes, I look good and I show it. I grew up like that. Today I am wearing my kneehigh heeled boots, grey tight jeans and a thin black pullover showing my right shoulder.
My bag was on my lap. And guess what, it's a black designer handbag. I once hung a fluffy pom-pom on the zipper. I just love this bag. It's my everytime companion, also in school. Luckily I didn't give it a name yet.
Right now I sit in my father's car after a long hour flight from Paris. Oh, yeah maybe I should explain a little bit.
My name is Maggie Smith, I am 17 years old. My mom is an international super model: Freya Smith. My dad, who I finally got to know today, is Hades. He married twice in his life. His first wife was Maria di Angelo. They had a daghter: Bianca. She should have been 20 now. And a 18 years old son: Nico. But circa a year after Nicos birth a car accident happend and Maria and Bianca died. Nico still seems to feel bad about it. Hades second marriage was with Marie Levesque. They also have a daughter: Hazel. She's 16 years old.
And who payed attention, knows now that I was born between the marriages of my father. My parents met in a club, when Hades just wanted to not feel the pain about the death of his daughter and wife. My mom helped him for one night, something went wrong and I was on the way. Because of me they still had contact, but decided to not start something what they don't feel. So they just contuinued with life. Everything is okay, also for me. It never bothered me, that I only know my dad over texts.
But now I sit on the passenger seat of his car on the way to his house and his family. To be true I was a bit anxious. I was the kid, that actually shouldn't exist.
"We're here", my father said. He had a weird tone, but I couldn't figure out what it was. We got out of the car and I grabed my suitcases.
Oh yeah, I nearly forgot: I moved to my father, because my mom is doing a worldtour. I would have just bothered and since I am going to have my graduation soon, I shouldn't miss school. A year long staying home alone would have also been a bit too long for me.
We stood in front of a big house painted in a beige colour. The front door opened and a middle aged woman with chocolate skin came out. She had beautiful light curls falling free over her shoulders and golden eyes. She wore a white blouse and jeans. That must be Marie.
behind her two teenager came out. The girl looked exactly like her mother, she was clearly Hazel. She also wore jeans and a purple t-shirt. The boy wore everything black, from t-shirt to shoes. He had short hair, that was as black as mine. Mine was very much longer, it went down to my ass. And he was even more pale than me. That must be Nico.
Marie shook my hand and said smiling widly: "Hello my dear. I'm Marie. That are Hazel and Nico." she pointed at them and Hazel waved to me while Nico just nodded. "I'm Maggie. Merci, that I can stay here. I hope I'm not a burden for you.", I said a bit worried. "No no, everything okay. We are very happy to finally get to know you", she ensured me, "Let's go inside now."
The house looked very confy from the inside. When you got in, on the right side was the kitchen and across from it on the left side was the living room with dining area. We went up the stairs. Marie told that there was her and Hades bedroom plus bathroom.
We went up another stairs. "Those are the rooms of Hazel and Nico.", she pointed at a amber coloured and a black door. Then she pointed at a white door next to them: "And this is your room. Right there is the bathroom which you will share with Nico and Hazel."
I nodded, then Hades carried my suitcases in my future room. "You can first unpack your things and get comfortable. Even thogh it's probably not what you're used to", said Hades. "It's great. Merci", I responded smiling. "No problem", Marie said before they went outof the room and down the stairs.
I turned to look at where I would live the next year. Across the door on the end of the room was a big window. And in front of that stood a desk with a black desk chair. On the right hand of the door stood a bed with white and black blanket and pillow. On the wall was a big closet. I also had a little bookshelf on the other wall.
Suddenly Hazel spoke: "Hey, our friends come over every moment. And we wanted to ask if you maybe want to join us?" She had a cute voice. "Okay, if it doesn't bother them." "No, they are already curious and want to meet you", Nico now said. Then the bell rang and Marie's voice came from downstairs: "Your freinds are here!"
"Come up!", Hazel yelled back. I heard a lot of steps and then eight teenagers in the ages 19-17 stood in front of me. "Okay, may I introduce to you", Hazel said and then pointed at me, "our half sister Maggie. That are Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Jason, Leo, Calypso, Frank and Will."
"Hi", I said and got some responses. I hoped I would remember their names, even though I'm not very good at that.
"Okay", a guy who I thought was Leo said, "Who wants to play Truth or Dare?" "Me!", the two I remembered as Piper and Jason yelled. We all agreed, but I was a bit suspicious. Hazel led us to her room, where we sat into a circle on the floor.
"I want to start!", Leo yelled.
