Chapter 1

My Sisters

It was busy and manic at the mall. Little children were getting pushed and were bumping into their parents, and the parents were glaring at the little children. Teenaged girls were cruising about the shoes and bra sections, and old people were getting in the way of mad shoppers.

Suddenly, I got pushed by my sister Cheryl. I stared at her in irritation, but she wasn’t paying attention to me. She was watching a man who looked like he was in his mid-forties but had really bad frown lines.

‘Hey! Don’t push. It hurts!’ Cheryl snapped at the man. He turned around and swore at her and tried to stare her down, which was a really bad move because Cheryl doesn’t appreciate it at all. He lost of course; he stomped away whilst Cheryl smirked.

‘You okay?’ she asked me, still smiling. I smiled as well.

‘Fine. Let’s get out of here before another fight brakes loose,’ I joked and tugged her by her arm.

‘Okay,’ Cheryl let herself be pulled away. In fact, I would have broken her wrist. But our kind is stronger than humans and more powerful. Cheryl probably hadn’t felt a thing. I thought back about all the people Cheryl had yelled at for the last hour, when she was in the mall. I loved my big sister to bits, but she can be really embarrassing! I have many other sisters. In total there are twelve of us. We all live together, and I am the youngest. This is good and bad for a lot of reasons:

1.  I will most likely be the last person to leave Olympi out of all my sisters.

2.  I would have to witness my sisters’ funerals if they fail their quest.

3.  They underestimate me.

4.  As I am the youngest, they can help prepare me for the future.

5.  There is always something to borrow from one of the eleven wardrobes.

Anyway, I’m Alexis-Mae Jordan-Lespia Rose-Love. (All double barrels.)

And these are my sisters:

Lita—22

Sabrina—20

Freya—19

Megan—17

Patricia, Leona, and Alexandra—16 (triplets)

Rosie—15

Summer and Avril—14 (twins)

Cheryl—14 (two months later)

Alexis-Mae—13

You may think it’s weird having sisters near the same age as you, but it works differently for goddesses. Let us set my mum as an example. My mum is Aphrodite, so she sends her messenger to bring her an angel. As soon as she is given the angel baby, a symbolic necklace is given to the angel, with emblems of the mother’s strength (in this case love), and then it becomes hers. Aphrodite wanted to have only girls. You may want to know where the messenger gets the angels from. Basically, when a baby dies before it turns one, it goes straight to heaven. They stay at the same age they died until they get a mother. The messenger collects a baby who he or she thinks will suit the mother (the father will have no say in what he wants the baby to be like), and if it’s twins, it’s twins. If it’s triplets, it’s triplets. The mother cannot return the angel to heaven. If the mother or father somehow harms or even allows the angel to die, then they get sent to hell. The angel will become a god or goddess once it completes its
