CHAPTER 3

The day came when she started middle school. Circe's parents had found a district of schools for mythical creatures hidden in Death Valley, California. So they had moved, she went through elementary, and she was now starting middle school. Samantha was starting high school.
Circe was swimming at the neighborhood pool with other mythical creatures when her mother came down again. Everyone stared in awe at her. "MOM!" Circe exclaimed cheerfully. "Am I ever glad to see you!"
"Yes, hello, Circe. I see you found a good healthy neighborhood for you, yes? Even better, it's HIDDEN." her mother grinned. "You're good on the Mortal Meter, only three..."
Circe's expression darkened. She knew her mom wasn't just visiting, she was here for a purpose. "What are you here for?"
"Derp..." her mother was distracted by all the staring mutants, although she was one herself. "Oh, um, sorry, dearest, I cannot visit?"
"Considering I've only seen you twice in my life for a small period of time, I think not! If you just wanted to visit, why didn't you start ten years ago, right after you lost me?!" Circe backtalked. Her mom winced.
"Fine." Her mother rocketed back to heaven angrily. Circe thought her mom was more of a FALLEN ANGEL, instead of one up from above.
Circe's friend swam the backstroke towards her. "Circe, that was your mom? Like, really?" she pondered as the short vampire she was treaded the water.
"Trust me, Amy, Mom is worse than you think. Last time I saw her I was five." Circe glared at the clear bluebonnet sky. Amy followed her gaze.
"Aw, come on, she must be busy up there." Amy reasoned.
