Gezeiten:The Tide Nymph

Gezeiten:The Tide Nymph
Gezeiten:The Tide Nymph is a story about a sea nymph who goes in with the tide. She meets Luke one time and this story is about that time. It is still a Work In Progress (WIP) however as I have to get off soon. This is the first fanfic I have done in a few months, so sorry for the problems in it.

Chapter 1
My name is Gezeiten. It's German for tide. It's funny that way. For a tide nymph like me to be called tide. Of course, I wasnt always a tide nymph......

My mother was a royal in Germany. She grew up sheltered and with potential husbands coming at her from left to right. By the time she was ten, she was already engaged to a man named Oswald, another royal. They got married at fifteen if I remember correctly. She disliked him at first, hated him for making her get married so young. But eventually she fell in love with him. His brown eyes, blond hair and charming smile won her over, I recall her telling me when I was young. I asked her once if he was my father. For once, I think I saw my mother sad as she replied with a quiet no. But back to the story, by the time she was 17, she had twin sons, my siblings, Reiner and Falco. They were her pride and joy. Both looking like their father and her together. So the family was happy, a father, a mother and two little bloys. Now your probably wondering where I get into this. Well simply, my mother fell out of love with Oswald and into love with Poseidon.

She met him on the shore, as Oswald was looking for a boat, taking the twins with him. Poseidon stood there proud. His black hair wet and his sea-green eyes shining. He said his name was Poseidon, and my mother not knowing the myths, thought nothing of it. They talked and found lots in common. By the time my mother had to go, I think she was already in love with him. They met up from then. Secretley so Oswald wouldnt know. A few weeks later, she was pregnant and Poseidon was gone.

I was born on December last day of December. It was a freezing night, and it was a hard birth for my mother, and she died.....Oswald knew I wasnt his daughter at first sight. I looked so different. My black hair, sea-green eyes. He was angered and my earliest memory was him yelling at me in anger.

He treated me harshly, like I was a servant despite the fact I was the daughter of a god, not that he knew that of course.I was forced to cook, to clean and other un-royal tasks. By the age of ten, my hands were scarred and my feet were permantley burned. My father beat me, my brothers teased me and I was alone....

I never did make it to Camp Half-Blood. I died at fifteen, on the shore, my favorite place. I thinkI was lucky I had survived that long. As a child of Poseidon, monsters should have flocked to me, but like I said, I guess I was lucky. I had been on the shore, peaceful for once. My toes touched the water as the tide started rising. Then the Minotaur attacked.

He came without warning, appearing from the land. I didnt have any notice, and I was still injured from my last beating and couldnt protect myself. He killed me then.....I remember a red flash before black...And then there was light.

I remember waking in the water, my father smiling beside me. He told me in perfect German that I was now a sea-nymph....He left me then and I swam comfused in a random direction. I swam for years and years, never stopping. I believe I swam for over a hundred years...Until I found the shore of Long Island, Camp Half-Blood.
