As I turn back around, " Used to that, but I doubt your company will like you abusing a newly adopted daughter."

I slammed the door to me room shut and screamed. Not caring if anyone heard me. I screamed and cried. Then I decided to pack. I finally changed out of my swimsuit, and shouldered my bag. I opened my window and jumped out. Somehow I didn't break or twist anything and I was on the run.

I ran away from the manor, filled with rage and grief. After I ran out of town I fell on my knees. I cried out in anguish and as my bones scraped against concrete.

I sobbed for a minute before a voice broke the silence around me, " Luke! We have to help her."

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I looked up to see a punk girl with a death to Barbie shirt on. She had spiky hair and electric blue eyes, " Hey, kid, what's wrong?"

" 'Cause that's exactly how you comfort a crying child on the streets." The boy had salt and pepper hair, with blue eyes.

" Well, you do it then!" The girl said exasperated.

" Hey, long way from home?" The boy asked.

" Yeah." I sniff.

The boy stands up and offers me his hand, " Come on, let's get you back."

I stand up and stumble away, " No! I'm not going back."

Then a leather bat hag dropped behind me, and trapped me in its arms. " Three demigods! What a treat!"

" Two big threes! What a good meal tonight!" She screeched as we pulled out her whip. She slashed the two kids backwards, but them showing kindness to me and then being hurt was not an option for me. I threw my head back and collided with her chin and she threw me forward. Then she cussed me out as she slashed her whip at me. Pain exploded as a sticky crimson soaked my back.

I saw the two people open their mouth but soon realize they don't know my name. So the girl flicked her bracelet and it turned into a ugly shield and pulled a spear for where it was strapped to her back. The boy pulled out a dagger and got into a stance.

Then I passed out from lack of blood.

When I woke up, my torso was wrapped tightly and I had a big blue plaid shirt on, with an pair of leggings. The room was dimly lit, and I was on a sleeping bag. " We have to take her back to her house." The boy said.

" Did you see the scars on her back? We can't take her back." Thalia said, " Plus, I like the idea of protecting a younger sibling, after..."

She didn't answer, and by the way Luke didn't answer for a while, made me think he didn't know either.

" Ok, we add a new sister to the family to the family."

I woke up from my dream in my lonely cabin three. It was after the war, and everyone is safe. A few more scars but everyone, even Leo, was home safe. I had just come home from my mom so I had a bag of blue cookies for a snack before breakfast. In all my glory, I staggered out of my cabin trying to lace my converses up while trying to make progress. Then a girl jumped in front of me from the sky. I slipped on my butt as I stumbled away in shock.
