Marjorie Wilks was born to a wealthy British soldier and his wife on 23 July 1941, Marjorie never got to seem much of her father due to the ongoing war but when she did she enjoyed his company besides her close relationship to her mother. Soon after the war ended it became clear that Marjorie's father had died in the war, saddened by this her mother, Victoria, left to live away in the country, on a small farm with her uncle. Victoria's uncle was a strict man, never once allowing Majorie to touch the animals in the barn or touch the chickens in the chicken shed but Marjorie never once complained about this and just followed her great uncle's rules. When Marjorie or sixteen Victoria decided to move to Columbus, Ohio all the way in American. Nothing went wrong on the journey and for around seven years everything was normal until Marjorie met the love of her life.
It was the 16th May 1964 and while most of her friends were getting married and planning their children Marjorie had never once dated a man in her entire life, it was then she noticed a lovely man who went by the name Carl, the two of them it off and she actually allowed him to have a child with her but as soon as the child was born Carl left without a trace, except for a small note explaining why. Marjorie automatically believed him.
Jason Bell was born to Marjorie Bell and Apollo on the 18th June 1965, he was always a quiet boy, all Marjorie's friends would ask her why he was so quiet and she would just shrug and smile. Soon after Jason was born however Marjorie met another man named James Bell and they hit off a relationship, moving away from her home in columbus and moving to Cincinnati with her beloved James. There on the 17th October 1971 she gave birth to her second child Jessica. Marjorie loved her children so much but was very strict like her great uncle. This is where we change the main character in this story, this is where Jessica comes in. Jessica was walking home from school one day with her brother when suddenly a hellhound attacked him, however Jason used his powers to protect himself as he was around sixteen at the time and had gone to camp every summer. After the hellhound gave up its futile attempts at killing Jason, he ran home grabbing his sisters hand before the reached the front door of their house and Jason asked Jessica to swear not to tell their mother. She agreed.
Being only ten when this happened Jessica thought that she had the same power as her brother and tried her hardest to use it, but it never worked, after she turned twelve she asked her mother why she couldn't use magic like her brother. Marjorie sighed and decided to tell her all, however Jessica refused to believe it as the school they went to taught the pupils about Christianity and so Jessica refused to believe anything else. After this Jessica refused to talk to her family, not wanting to hear any more lies about how Jason was a child of those fake Greek gods, however there was a certain god that had an eye on her from there on out. After Jessica's twenty third birthday she went out for a little party with all her friends only to meet this nice man. He introduced himself as Harry and kissed Jessica's hand politely. She smiled and introduced herself as well. Soon the two of them met each other more often before the two of them decided to enter a relationship with one another. The thing is however that Harry was indeed Hades, king of the underworld in Greek myths, however due to Jessica's beliefs he couldn't very well tell her so he decided to just tell her that he was a mortician. This scared her slightly but she loved him nevertheless, soon the had a child on the 19th January 1996, which they named Carolyn, but Harry/Hades left soon after that saying her had gotten a job overseas and couldn't stay much longer, Jessica was in pieces. However Hades decided to talk to Marjorie first explaining that he was actually Hades and gave Marjorie a lovely locket to give to Carolyn on her thirteenth birthday, hoping that Marjorie will remember to give it to her at it was a weapon needed to protect his dear daughter and even left a note for it so that she would remember however Marjorie left the note and locket in completely different places and soon forgot about them.
Carolyn was a lovely child, never once saying anything bad about anyone or anything. She loved her family dearly although her mother had inherited her mother's and great-great uncle's strictness. Jessica made Carolyn go to a very strict catholic school when she was young but never payed attention in classes. Soon she got kicked out and had to find another school. Walking to the new school one day when she was eleven she saw a hellhound come out of the alley. It attacked. Suddenly an arrow zoomed past and hit the hellhound, and soon came more. Carolyn turned around to see her uncle Jason standing there, bow arched at the terrifying creature. Jason looked at Carolyn and Carolyn looked at him, but saying nothing Jason took Carolyn's hand and took her home to Jessica. He tried to explain to Jessica but she wouldn't take it. She'd call him a liar for believing in the Greek gods who were just children's stories instead of the one true god. Jason glared at her. They never spoke again.
Jessica was angry at her family and quickly cut off contact with them, meaning Marjorie never got to give her gift to Carolyn, but soon she forgot that it was meant to be a gift for Carolyn and began wearing it herself until she died....on Carolyn's sixteenth birthday. Carolyn had had a lot of monster attacks but learnt how to defend herself by sneaking out every night to her uncle Jason's house for him to teach her, she discovered her powers when she was thirteen and Jason, while not the best instructor, taught her how to use them. However her mother found out a day before her fifteenth birthday and forbid her from meeting him. When Marjorie died however she was still wearing Carolyn's locket.
Life after Marjorie died was a quiet affair for the Bell family, none of them talked, or even mentioned each other in conversation. It was only until one day Carolyn saw her ghost. Carolyn had seen many ghosts in her lifetime being a child of Hades but seeing her grandmother's ghost really creeped her out. Soon the ghost talked to her one night when she was on Facebook stalking one of her crushes, Marjorie soon explained to Carolyn about the locket and so Carolyn, automatically believing her dead grandmother went to the graveyard, which was near her home and began digging up her grandmother's grave. However due to CCTV the cops soon saw her do this terrible act and quickly came and arrested her. Her mum was pissed, Jason was shocked and James swore at her, but the only thing that really mattered was, she had the locket. Soon after this she was taken to a small Juvenile Detention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, where no one visited her, except this one little ghost named Macy, she was about twelve and was very cute and adorable. They made good friends with each other, until one summer Carolyn was taken out of the center and put into a group home.
Bit by bit, the teens staying in the group home began arriving, starting with Noah and Nathan, after them Drew, Rickon and Dylan then not long after them, Carolyn, Amy and Julie with the last two being Tatia and Humberto. At first, most of them avoided each other but, after a while, the group home parents decided to group activities so that they would bond. It didn't take long for most of the teens to befriend each other, while others still kept their distance with each other. About half-way through the summer the group home parents decided to take the teens on a road trip, the wife taking the girls and the husband taking the boys. On the road trips, the teens got into plenty of trouble but, they became closer friends. In the fall, they all went to a local highschool and bit by bit, they were attacked by monsters.
The first monster attack was on Nathan, Noah, Tatia and Humberto while they were going to the movies one night. The four teens were attacked by a flock of harpies in which they lost after running through several allies, roads and backyards. Once they lost the harpies, Nathan hotwired a car and had everyone get in, quickly driving to the group home and the four packed their stuff and got back into the car. Once they were back in the car, Nathan explained everything to them about the Greek gods and stuff which didn't surprise Humberto as he already knew he was a demigod and drove them to camp.
Not long after, Carolyn, Amy, and Julie were out having a girls day out when they were attacked by a hellhound in a park. They didn't know what was going on but, right before the hellhound attacked them, the tree nymphs in the park began chunking pinecones, rocks, sticks, anything they could get their hands on until the hellhound ran off. Once the hellhound was gone, one of the nymphs gave Amy the information about camp and told them to go their. After swinging by the group home to get their stuff, Amy bought some bus tickets and they were off to camp.
About a week later, Drew, Rickon and Dylan were hanging out after school when two Empousa attacked them. They fended them off for a little while but they began to grow tired. Suddenly, a satyr came out of the school and attacked them with its sword until they both turned to dust. Once finished with the monsters, the satyr explained everything to the three boys. After that, they swung by the group home to grab their stuff and the satyr took them to camp.
