Previously on Evianna's POV

Evianna’s POV

I lied back on the chair and filed my nails. I watch the army of minor gods, monsters, and demi gods come together. I smiled deviously as Hades and Zeus shook hands. All was going according to plan and if it continues like this my darling sister, Kathalina, shall die and I will be let back home since her death can open the portal.

I transported to Camp Half Blood and I hid behind the trees. I smiled watching Ares yell at his children and my smile grew even bigger. Brothers becoming allies, sons going against fathers, it’s only a matter of time before everything falls into perfect place…

Chapter 22

What is wrong with Evianna?

I watched my father pick up my sister and carried her in her room with my mother trailing behind them. I stood by the door and I watched them tickle her and listening to her laughter made my chest tighten. I turned away and walked to my room. I sat on my bed and pulled a book into my lap just as I heard the door open.

My mother came in but I stared intently at the book. My mother walked up to me and kissed my head as did my father afterwards and they said goodnight. I turned the page and I began reading the story, the ugly duckling. Tears began to drip down onto the book while I read how the ugly duckling was tormented and ignored by everyone, even it’s on family.

I got up and walked to my full length mirror. I stared at my long wavy blonde hair because I had taken my hair out of braids. I stared at my light tanned skin, and blue eyes. My eyes looked pained and broken so I practiced hiding it to the point where I could read no expression anymore. I got up and walked to my sister’s room and stared at her peacefully sleeping.

Her long black hair was as dark as night and she looked amazingly like father as I did to our mother but she was prettier.

‘Aren’t we twins? Why am I not that pretty?’ I whispered to no one. I left the room and I walked down stairs and left the house as quick as possible. I ran through the woods and my white nightgown trailed behind me. Tears streamed down my eyes as I stared at the pond which was actually a portal to a place called earth.

‘What do we have here?’ a voice said behind me and I stood up and turned around quickly. A man was standing in the shadows and I instantly felt scared. There was something off about this guy and it truly scared me.

‘No need to be scared sweetheart,’ he said.

‘I’m like you so there’s no need to be scared,’ he said in a calming tone.

‘What do you mean you’re like me?’ I asked and he smiled.

‘I know what it feels like to be unwanted, ignored and to be in someone else’s shadow.’ He said and I tried to fight the tears but they came down like rain. The man was dressed in all back so it was hard to see him.

Suddenly I saw my parents and Kathalina together and I saw me there and they started  slowly throw me aside. I was alone. I’ve always been alone. They love her more than me. I bent down and hid my face in my arms and cried. The man walked over to me and patted my back.

‘There, there, it’s okay, I know a way you can be loved by your parents and your sister will be out of the picture all you have to do is take my hand.’ He said holding out his long pale hand and I hesitated but then the image of my parents laughing with her and tossing me to the side came up again.

‘My sister won’t be hurt, right?’ I asked and he smiled. Even if I felt neglected and less pretty than my sister, she is still my younger sister and I love her.

‘Of course not, I promise.’ He said and I took his hand. I suddenly felt light headed and darkness then wrapped all around me. The next thing I knew I woke up in my bed and I could barely remember what happened. I went to the window and saw my sister playing with her friends. I played my viola and tried hard to let everyone hear my pain through my song and the door opened.

My mother came in and I looked at her wondering if she could actually hear my pain through the song.

‘Sweetie can you stop playing dreary sad songs, its making me depressed and can you tell your sister dinner is ready?’ she said and closed the door. I stood there mouth wide open and I felt a flair of anger and pain. How could she not hear my pain?

I walked downstairs and outside and I saw my father play with my sister.

‘Mother says dinner is ready,’ I said before turning around. We had dinner and my sister was scared of having her hair cut and after dinner ran to her room to hide while I cleaned up.

‘Evianna are you alright?’ he asked and I looked at him shocked. How could he know something was wrong than my own mother who knew me like the back of her hand.

‘Yes, what makes you say that?’ I asked lying through my teeth.

‘No, it’s just, it seems like the light has drained out of you.’ He said and I looked at him confused. We heard a door slam and my father sighed before running at super speed after my sister. I went to my mother’s study and I heard a scream and the door opened with my mother running to my sister. My mother came back sighing before noticing.

‘I have a question for you, mother,’ I said looking down as she sat down in her seat.

‘Right now?’ she asked and I felt my chest tighten again remembering that whenever Kathalina had a question she would always get an answer.

‘I need to ask you now mum.’ I whispered and she looked up at me and I felt my mask I worked so hard falter for a second and she saw it.

‘What is it sweetie?’ she asked and I took a deep breath.

‘Why do you treat Kathalina better, we’re twins shouldn’t you give us the same amount of attention?’ I asked and she sighed.

‘Your sister almost didn’t live when she was born but you came out healthy. She had given us quite a scare and was always so sick we thought she was going to die but god answered our prayers and she soon grew healthier. I guess even after all those years we are always afraid her illness will come back.’ She said and I felt truly thrown aside. When I was sick my mother hired a butler to help me. Now I know the reason I was more separated from Kathalina because they don’t want her to get sick.

‘Mum,’ I said and I looked at her in the eye.

‘Do you love me? I thought I was your favorite daughter before and now I’m not so sure,’ I asked and she looked taken a back.

‘Sweetie I love you so much, you look like me and you’re my daughter of course you’re my favorite oldest daughter.’ My mother said and I heard running. I looked down having my hair cover my face so it could hide my tears.

I ran out the room and followed my sister and found her looking at the pound.

-Now is your chance to create the family picture you’ve always wanted- the voice of the man filled my head.

I felt my feet move without my permission and painful images and being ignored filled my mind and I couldn’t say anything.

‘Kathalina it’s time for you to go. No one wants you here.’ My voice said filling the air but I hadn’t said those words. What’s going on? Why can’t I control my body?

I felt my hands push something and at the last second I realized what I had done. I collapsed on the ground and I realized I had pushed my own twin sister down the portal. I heard a gasp and saw Kathalina’s friends staring at me confused and with hatred. Justin stared at me with a heartbroken expression and I felt dead.

Lucy and Jake ran towards the house and Justin stayed frozen in shock.

‘How could you?’ he asked and I cried.

‘I didn’t know what I was doing, I didn’t mean it! Please, you have to believe me!’ I yelled reaching for him and he took a step back.

‘You monster! She was your own twin sister! We heard what you said, you can’t lie anymore I’m sure you loving me was a lie too.’ He said and my heart shattered.

‘I’m not lying!’ I cried and he looked torn.

‘Tell it to someone who cares,’ he said before following the others. Next thing I knew my parents were by the pound mourning my sister. I cried but no one looked at me.

‘You three down there and watch over her. Be her protectors but let her deal with life a little.’ They said after blessing to prevent memory loss. They went into the portal and cried for Kathalina more. My mother turned towards me with hatred. She slapped me curling her nails inwards and I felt blood dribble down my face. She punched, kicked, and scratched me and my father held her back but not without giving me a look of disgust.

My mother fell down and sobbed.

‘Why?’ he asked and I felt weak.

‘I don’t know, I didn’t mean it.’ I choked and he picked me up by my throat.

‘I’m done with your lies. You are no longer welcomed here.’ He said glaring at me with his yellow eyes and sharp teeth as I grabbed his hands trying to breathe. He held me over the pound and let go of me. I screamed and became a true fallen angel.

-It’s all Kathalina’s fault- a man’s voice said in my head before I drifted into the darkness

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I woke with a start and looked at sun with distain. What use to fill me with warmth and happiness, now comes to me as a painful reminder of my old life. I stood up and stretched out my wings. My wings use to be pure white when I first got them at 6 years old but now they were a tinted grey looking somewhat dirty.  I washed out the black hair dye and now it’s back to a dirty blonde color. I no longer have pure blonde hair anymore.

‘How is everything going?’ said a voice. I turned around and saw a shadowy figure come out.

‘Everything is going according to plan D.’ I said and you could barely make out his smile while he was standing in the shadows of the trees.

‘Can I ask you again what exactly are you?’ I asked him and he disappeared leaving his voice ringing through the woods.

‘I am a Demogorgon.’ He said.

(A/N: I was gonna stop it here but since I’m on a roll :D…)

I sighed and looked at the sun again. I don’t remember much from my old life but all I know is now I am a shallow, jealous girl out to get my twin sister. I feel trapped like I’m not myself but there’s nothing I can do.

I walked till I found a mall and I knew I looked horrible but I didn’t care. I walked into a store called Hot Topic and bought some skinny jeans and a novel tee. I changed in the dressing room and threw away my clothes in the trash since they were practically rags.

The world seemed to slow down as I saw the guy who broke my heart almost 12 years ago. Justin stood there holding a trey of Chinese food and I felt my stomach twist. Would he recognize me?

I walked away but not before someone grabbed my hand and dragged me to a stage in the middle of the food court.

‘You have been chosen to be the first person to sing karaoke to raise money for a special charity.’ The girl said dragging my and forget butterflies in my stomach, I had a murder of crows in there!

‘Uh I can’t really sing,’ I said hoping that would get me out of this.

‘That’s okay,’ she said setting up the microphone.

‘What song do you want to sing to?’ she asked and I turned towards her so Justin couldn’t see me.

‘Umm, do you have Just a little girl by Trading Yesterday?’ I asked feeling my palms sweat. She typed in a computer and nodded her head yes.

‘Alright everyone we’re about to start the Cancer Care Charity fund event! So give it up for…’ she trailed off for me to say my name.

‘Eva’ I said not wanting to give my full name.

‘Give it up for Eva starting it off! Now remember after the song you can put money in this box for how much money you think the song is worth, now remember there are boxes throughout the food court so no one has to rush to fill the front boxes here now let’s give Eva a round of applause!’ she yelled and everyone clapped.

‘Good luck,’ she whispered smiling to me and giving me the microphone. The music started and I turned around and faced the crowd of people looking at me while eating. I looked at Justin and he stared right at me making me decide to change the lyrics just a little. The screen in front of me filled with lyrics and I began to sing.

‘You never cared to hear the other side

So why would you care to keep this thing alive?

You paint me into the memory of all your pain

But I will not be drawn into the past again

Cause all of this is all that I can take

And you could never understand the demons that I face

So go ahead and don’t believe a word that I say

For with everything I was, I was just a little girl

I never meant for you to feel this way

The Decembers were never meant to be our graves

It's not a question of who is wrong and what is right

But time can not heal what you will never recognize

Cause all of this is all that I can take

And you could never understand the demons that I face

So go ahead and don’t believe a word that I say

For with everything I was, I was just a little girl

So go ahead and cry, go ahead believe that you are right

To keep away the dark

To help you sleep tonight

Go on and decide

Who is wrong, what is right

Cause you know inside

Cause all of this is all that I can take

And you could never understand the demons that I face

So go ahead and don’t believe a word that I say

For with everything I was,

Cause all of this is all that I can take

And you could never understand the demons that I face

So go ahead and don’t believe a word that I say

For with everything I was, I was just a little girl…’

I finished the song. Justin was looking at me expressionless and then the crowd exploded into cheers and clapping. The girl came up to me and I stood there stunned.

‘That was amazing! I thought you said you can’t sing, oh and I liked the version you sang.’ She said and I gave her the microphone.

‘Thanks,’ I said and she smiled.

‘Give it up for Eva ya’ll!’ she yelled and everyone got louder if that was even possible. I quickly took that distraction and left. I ran through the mall getting weird stares. I felt a hand pull my shoulder.

‘You stupid girl.’ D’s voice growled. I turned around and his features I couldn’t see.

‘Evianna!’ a voice yelled and we both turned to see Justin running towards us. I felt painful memories of rejection and hatred filled my head that was so painful I winced in pain until I felt nothing at all.

‘Evianna, what are you doing here?’ he asked and I felt someone else in my voice talk.

‘Leaving,’ I started walking away and I wasn’t in control of my actions.

‘Wait,’ he said touching my shoulder and I felt myself come back into control.

‘Don’t touch me! Haven’t I had enough damage?’ I asked but again it wasn’t me.

‘I don’t need you so leave me the hell alone.’ I seethed and began walking away. I felt myself crumble inside as I couldn’t control my actions but instead thoughts of him yelling at me and telling me I was a monster came to my mind. All I noticed was a tear roll down my eyes before I was in control of my actions and D grabbed me and threw me into a car where I soon blacked out.

Justin’s POV

I ran up to catch Evianna when she practically ran off the stage. Just thinking of her made my chest tighten but what can I do? She pushed her sister down the portal. I caught up to her and there was a man next to her and then he disappeared.

.

‘Evianna, what are you doing here?’ I asked and she looked blank

‘Leaving, ‘she said and started walking away.

‘Wait,’ I said touching her shoulder and she flinched but something felt off about her.

‘Don’t touch me! Haven’t I had enough damage?’ she asked but it didn’t sound like her.

‘I don’t need you so leave me the hell alone.’ she seethed and began walking away. She left me stunned but I noticed a tear go down her cheek. There is definitely something off about Evianna but what? She wouldn’t change the song for nothing. There is a meaning and I have to find it.

Even after all she’s done I still can’t help but love her.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I got it done and the winner is Fujigirl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fujigirl is the winner of the monster contest because I feel like her monster works very well with the story and it seems to fit really well. Thank you to all the other submitters of the monster contest and there are a few monsters I will use in the story but as a training monster for Leah. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and thank you all those that participated in the monster contest all the monsters were great and it really was a hard time choosing a winner. PLEASE VOTE!!!! I will not start working on the chapter until I have at least 15 considering I only got 5 votes the last chapter :(   COMMENT because I have to know what you’re thinking and if you don’t I’ll think you hate my story and then I won’t want to write anymore D:  OH! And just to let you know Justin is actually 1 year older than Leah and Evianna, don’t forget that they age very slowly but to be exact where they live (or lived) every human year is actually a 50 years or so, that’s why they can be close even though they are so young, so I hope that clears up any confusion. BYE!!!! XD
