Hello again!
It's who know you, Britt!
I've been getting the writer's craze and can't stop writing to save my life!! I wrote this little addition last night at 1:40AM (I have a serious problem!). I also didn't want to leave you all on a clip hanger and I think I did with this one too.
I menation The Human Torch a couple of times in this because now that I think about it, Danny is like the human torch (powers wise you know). For those who don't know the Human Torch is, he's from The Fantastic Four and can control fire.
Yes, that's Captain America. I find it funny actually because when this movie first came out. The Human Torch was my favorite character and Captain America is one of my favorite superheroes!
Thank goodness for the epic Star Wars music I was listening to during this or it wouldn't be as good. I apologize for the mistakes I made in the pervious chapters, like in chapter 3, I didn't put Danny under it. He tells his point of view in chapter 3 & 4. I fixed it.
Check out my blog for this series:

Thanks for reading!
FEEDBACK IS GREATLY WELCOMED!!

p.s. Now after reading this, I really wanna watch Return of the Jedi!
I never grew tired of seeing the beautiful landscape of Ireland.
I wished I lived in Ireland, but I actually lived in Avalon so I could be close to my school.
But when we'd come here during Christmas or summer, I was at complete peace.
"The ocean is so beautiful!" Ariana exclaimed as the van we rented drove along the mountainside giving us a breath taking view of Ireland.
Rob smiled, "sure is."
"Grandpa Peter sailed on that ocean?" asked Ariana, referring to Rob's father.
"Yup, grandpa loved that ocean." Rob answered.
Ariana's eyes lit up just like her dad's did, which was kind of freaky how much she looked like Rob.
"Sweet," she said coolly and leaned forward to listen to Melissa and Carson.
Rob turned to the ocean and closed his eyes as if he could taste the salty air already.
When we arrived at the cabin, we all hurried to claim our rooms.
We've had our cabin since Faith and I were three.
Some of our earliest memories were here, like playing on the beach and making movies with an old video camera in the fields.
The cabin was large with three stories, a basement with a living room that included a flat screen TV, two bathrooms and four bedrooms.
The main floor had a kitchen and dining room; it had one bathroom and a large front room with a fireplace and a baloney going around the cabin.
The top floor had been dubbed as adult quarters.
It had five bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open sitting room with a large window overlooking the valley.
When we entered, in the living room was a large Christmas tree decorated with various ornaments and colorful ribbons and peacefully placed on the top was a star.
Patrick gasped, "presents! Are any for me?"
"Patrick, that's rude." Tyler's mom, Sherri told her small son.
Dad laughed, "it's fine, Sherri. Let's see…"
Dad walked over and picked up a package wrapped in blue.
"I don't know, but this present is addressed to one Patrick R. Youngblood."
Patrick's blue eyes went huge, "my name is Patrick R. Youngblood! R is for Robert, that's my daddy's name!"
Dad smiled, he had always loved kids.
"Can I have it PLEASE??" Patrick begged.
Dad glanced at Sherri and she gave him the OK.
He handed the present to Patrick.
"Thank you, uncle Dean!"
Dean wasn't really Rob's brother, but he was close enough that Rob's kids called him, uncle.
Anyways, Dad was Ariana and Patrick's godfather like Rob was to my siblings and I.
I felt a tug on my sleeve, "let's grab the best room before the girls did like last year." Tyler said.
"Carson," I said.
Carson looked up from talking to Melissa, "yeah?"
"You sharing a room with Tyler and I again?"
Carson shrugged, "Sure."
"Kay," I grabbed Carson's suitcase and headed downstairs with Tyler.
Than there was a sudden clatter of feet and female voices, I recognized Faith's.
"They've figured out our plan!" I screamed and bolted for the best room that was located right next to the living room.
It was the largest with a built in bathroom and a flat screen with all the movies and cable.
"Hurry! We can't let the boys get it!" Melissa hollered as the girls stampeded down the stairs.
My heart raced as I tried to run faster and pull two heavy suitcases at once.
"They're gaining!" Tyler yelled, half laughing.
"You won't win this time, Danny!" Faith's voice echoed through the hallway.
"No way!" I called out.
Feeling like we had been going down this hallway for a century, we spotted the door.
"Here," I handed Tyler the suitcases, "I'll defend the fortress."
"Yes captain Ellis!" Tyler laughed.
Melissa, Melanie (my older sister), Faith, Ariana and a very distracted Patrick came running around the corner.
"You are too late, ha-ha!" I exclaimed, swinging my arms in defense mode.
Faith and Melissa suddenly froze their eyes were huge.
"Daniel!!" Carson came around the corner, calling me by my real name. I hated it.
"What?" I questioned than looked down at my arms, they had flames encircling them causally.
I felt no pain, no burn.
I put my arms down and the flames disappeared.
"WHOA!! How did you do THAT?" Patrick exclaimed.
Tyler came out of the bedroom, "what's going on?"
"Danny's the human torch!!" Patrick nearly screamed.
I heard footsteps and enter my mother.
"Why are you guys yelling? We can hear you in the kitchen." She asked.
"Nothing…" I began.
"Danny's the human torch!! He went, WOOSH! His arms had fire around them!" Patrick went around in circles, making fire sound effects.
Mom gave me a questioning look.
"I…uh…" I started when Melissa's mom, Nikita yelled.
"Dinner's ready!"
I sighed in relief as the others raced upstairs and it was just mom and I.
Mom watched Patrick run upstairs, still pretending to be the human torch as Ariana pulled him upstairs than turned back to me. "Something you wanna tell me?"
"It was an accident, I swear!"
"Danny, you're thirteen. You know better. You're just lucky that Tyler didn't see and Patrick makes up stories."
I nodded, "yeah…sorry mom."
Mom sighed, the worry in her eyes disappeared; we both have the same eyes. Gray. "Just be more careful, okay?"
I nodded again, "yes ma'am."
Mom walked over and kissed my head, "love you."
"Love you too, now let's eat. I'm starving."
Chapter 4
Danny
After dinner, we all went to play on the beach.
My little accident was soon forgotten and everything went back to normal.
When sunset came, it was about 9:30 PM and we headed inside to get ready for bed.
Tyler was sitting on his bed when I came in, all dressed in my pajamas.
My bed was on the left and his was on the right, across from each other. Carson's was right next to the window, giving a beautiful view of the ocean.
This bedroom was decorated in movie posters; it was themed as the movie room.
I always got the bed right above the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi poster and Tyler always had the bed under the Karate Kid movie.
The Karate Kid had been his favorite movie since he was eight and mine was Return of the Jedi.
"So, Tyler. What was it you had to tell me?" I asked.
Tyler looked over; I could sense his mind was in turmoil and confusion.
"Carson won't hear he's still in the shower." I told him and I could tell he calmed down a little.
He sat up and beckons me to come over.
I got off and came to sit across from on his bed, "seriously, Tyler. What is it?"
Tyler looked around, double-checking that no one was listening, "ok, I was at school and you know Mr. Rollins?"
"Yeah, that teacher who have?"
He nodded, "Well, I was listening in on Mr. Rollins who was talking to someone and he said, 'If he doesn't figure how he's a demigod by now, I don't think…' are you alright, Danny?"
"Huh?" I asked.
"Your eyes are as big as dinner plates."
"Oh, sorry." I rubbed my eyes, "go on."
"Ok, well, I guess Rollins figured out I was listening and so I ran until I ran into Justin Kidman. You remember Justin Kidman?"
"Of course, he's the idiot I've told you I'd beat up for you."
"Yeah, so has Rosaline."
"Why am I not surprised, we'll team up when I come to Oklahoma this summer and get him."
"Well, here's the thing. Justin Kidman isn't human, he was like a creature out of a movie and so was Mr. Rollins."
"What?" I questioned. "You had two monsters at your school? How is that possible?"
Tyler's eyes went big, "so you understand what I'm talking about!"
I nodded, "completely."
"It was like I was sucked into this book that my creative writing teacher, Mrs. Bramell gave me." Tyler grabbed his backpack and took out a purple covered book.
I recognized it immediately.
The Burning Rose series by Jamie Hawkins, it was written by a mortal friend of mom and dad.
"But this is just a story, witches, demigods, demons, fire shifters and vampire hunters, they don't exist." Tyler said, "when I asked Rob about it afterwards, he acted like nothing happened. I had hoped you'd know…you are, after all, my best friend."
I took a deep breath, mom and dad would probably kill if I told him but it seemed like Tyler was already figuring out.
"Tyler, the book you're reading, Burning Rose is not just a made up story. It's a history book told from the point of view of someone who was actually there."
Tyler looked at me, confused.
"Burning Rose is real, it's a school in Avalon…that Faith and I…go to…"
"What? But you're…"
"Normal? I'm not. Faith isn't either, nor Carson, Melanie, or Trinity…" I stopped short at the mention of my missing brother.
"Are you telling me that all of this real? Avalon exists and you're a supernatural?"
I nodded, "I'm a fire demon."
Tyler's eyes went huge, "you're the one he was talking about…what is a fire demon?"
"I can control fire, like the human torch as Patrick called me at dinner."
"How long as you've been one?"
"Since I was born but I discovered it when I was two years old and I have been going to Burning Rose to learn how to control it better ever since."
"You've known about these powers since you were two and you never told me?" Tyler asked, shocked.
I nodded, "I wanted to tell you but my dad forbid to, because you are special Tyler…"
"What do you mean?" he cocked an eyebrow at me.
"You said that you never knew your dad, right?" I asked.
Tyler's face darkened, "yes. What does this have to do with anything?"
"Do you remember David and Hayden in the story?" I asked.
Tyler nodded, "they were demigods."
"David is my father." I said.
Tyler looked at me, "What?"
"This series was written by Jamie Hawkins, she was friends with my parents and yours. She was a mortal and wrote down their adventures but changed their names. David is my dad's middle name."
"That means…your dad is the son of Apollo?" Tyler questioned.
I nodded, "that's how I got my power, it's a rare gift but some children or descendants of Apollo can control fire, my dad didn't get it but I did and Faith can control ice and magic."
"Magic?" Tyler questioned again, "Your mom is Eliana in the story…and a witch. Is that why her hair is silver?"
"Spell went wrong when she was sixteen and made her hair that way."
"Whoa..."
"Anyway, you are like David and Hayden in the story, your father is a god, you are half god and half human."
"Who's my dad?"
"Tyler, I only knows you're a demigod. Only my dad and Rob know."
"Wait, how does Rob know? Is he Hayden?"
"Yeah."
"So, how do we find out who my dad is?" questioned Tyler.
"We have to wait and see if he claims you, what happen at school?"
"There was a tornado but I think I caused it…"
"Well, good news is that it might not take long for you to figure it out but the bad news is…"
"What?"
"Once you realize who you truly are, some 'friends' are going to come looking for you."
