The Alpha - Prestory

Okay, it’s time to meet Alex Chadwick. This guy is incredibly cute and has a very sad background. Here’s his story told by, who knew, Alex Chadwick.

As Indy already mentioned, I’m Alex. My mother was Maria Chadwick and my father is Heaptus. My story starts before I was born. My mum, lived with her family, in the family house, in Spain. Because she thought that Spain didn’t have enough opportunities for a young women, she moved to the US. She changed her name from some spanish name to Chadwick shen she migrated here. She went to university and got a degree in mechanics. Then along came Hepathus. Yep, the god of fire and the forge is my dad. Not the most… interactive dad. So mum and I were driving home from my first day at my new school (I had already been kicked out of three and I was only 5) when something hit us. At the time I thought it was just a tree. The “tree” had fallen across the front of the car, killing my mother. I had no living family in America and my mum’s family back in Spain had disowned her and didn’t want me. The last thing I remember my mum telling me before she died she said if she was ever to die, I was to run. Keep away from foster homes, schools and cops. Someday, she said, I would find a place where there were people just like me and I would find my family. So for 11 years I did just that. THen I met Indiana Wood. I was running from cops (yet again) in Long Island when I stumbled upon three girls fighting monsters. One had pure blond hair, another had brunette with blond highlights and a third had a pink and a blue streak running down her left side. They seemed to be fighting a half bull half human dude. In their hands were either bows or in the girl with the blue and pink streaks’ case, a sword. There was a lot of yelling in another language. After the thing had turned into dust, the girls turned around and spotted me, gaping at them.
“Did I just see what I thought I saw. You were fighting with arrows and a sword?” I asked
“Either he’s a clear sighted mortal or he’s a demigod,” THe girl with blond hair and the colour streaks said.
“Hey boy you want to join us for dinner? we’re having bread butter and jam,” THe girl with natural blond hair asked “You look like you could use a good meal,”
“I can build you a fire for toasting the bread, you know for a change,” I reply, sitting down next to the girl with Blond hair and the colour streaks. I concentrate. Soon my hand has a small ball of fire in it. I set it in the already prepared fire base.
“I’m Indy, these are my cousins. Alyssa is the one with blond and brown hair her younger sister, Emma is the purer blond,” She says “And you’ve just confirmed it for me, you’re definitely a demigod, or a monster, why don’t you come with us, we’re trying to find a place for people like us, maybe you might have some half brothers and sisters there,”
“What do you mean?” I ask
“Did you grow without one of your parents?” Emma asked “Like one was never around, and the other parent wouldn’t say why or did one parent leave the other without saying where they were going?”
“My mum said, when she was dying, that someday I would find people like me and find a family. I never knew my dad,” I tell them
“We know how you feel, expect Indy, it was her mum that she grew up without, our mum had… an affair with Apollo, Greek god of the sun, music, medicine, poetry, archery,” Alyssa said “We haven’t personally meet him but our older half siblings have. Oh and I’m a year older than Emma, just to get that straight,”
“I’m not going to confuse you with my story, cuz it’s a long one,” Indy said “But basically, a greek god has an affair with a mortal he or she fancies. A child is born, or in Athena’s kids cases, sprung from the mind, and the god leaves, leaving the mortal to care for a child by their own. If the god told the mortal their true identity, the mortal must be prepared for the child to die, to fight, to leave and to grow. If not, the best thing for the mortal is to keep it a secret for as long as you can,”
“So you think I’m some sort of god child?” I asked
“Yeah, we think you’re a demigod, half blood whatever but yeah,” Emma said “Toast is ready!”

“You up?” Alyssa asked “We’re heading off now, Indy thinks we’ve stayed in the spot for too long, she gets particular antsy when that happens,”
“She does?” I ask “I know the feeling,”“Who, who are you?” A voice stammered “what are you doing here?” We all turned around. There was a guy with red hair and matching goatee. His lower half was covered in hair and his feet were hooves.
“Yes!!!!! Finally a Satyr!” Indy yelled, raising her hand triumphly.
“You know what I am?” The guy asked
“Yeah, I’m Alyssa Wood, daughter of Apollo, my younger sister Emma Wood and our cousin Indy Wood, daughter of Athena…” Indy nods “and Poseidon, plus this guy we met last night, he can create fire,”
“I’m Alex Chadwick,” I say “I don’t know my parent, but we’re pretty sure its my dad,”
“Grover Underwood, at least you’re in the border lines. I’ll show you to the big house,” The guy said, leading us off. That’s my story
