The wind was frigid against Iris' wings, but she didn't notice much. She hadn't been able to feel cold since she was three. The only way she could tell it was cold at all was that it was snowing. Quite hard in fact. This wasn't uncommon in New England. Iris had started to have enough of the snow getting her clothes wet, and decided to fly out of the storm. It had never been this bad back home. But then again, she was a long way from home now.

~Three months earlier~

Iris heard a large crash and scraping metal outside her house. It was two A.M. and Iris' mom still wasn't back from the observatory. Iris' mom was most likely looking for her dad, Boreas. Since she was his only demigod kid, and he wouldn't let her go to camp because he was too over-protective, her parents had this weird agreement on who got her when. Iris' mother, Henrietta Saboran, absolutely hated her, and Boreas loved her. So, she spent one week with her mother, one month with her dad. Iris' feelings where mutual to her mother's. She quite frankly thought she was quite the stuck up blitch minus the L.

Today was Iris' thirteenth birthday. She had a friend who was a satyr, who kept her up to date on news at camp half blood. She had kept her informed through-out the titan war and the battle with Gaia. Right now it was a time of peace. She also heard about the agreement Perseus Jackson had made with the gods about the claiming and before the age of thirteen. Iris was glad to have a nice demigod parent, and not one who denied her existence until she reached thirteen. But most demigods' mortal parents loved them. Or they were so high or drunk or possessed by spirits of oracles to even have the ability to care anymore. But Iris' mother just hated on her own. She regularly physically and emotionally abused Iris daily. But Iris just didn't care anymore, didn't show any reaction or sign of pain to appease her mother, so the beatings had dwindled down to maybe once a week.

Looking up from the drawing she was busy making, she saw her (as usual) piss-drunk step father's '68 Chevy Nova crashed into the fence again. Fan-fricking-tastic. More shit for me to fix later. Thought Iris. The door slammed open just as Iris had gotten Steve's beer out of the fridge. "WHERE IN THE FLYING FUCK IS MY-oh, there it is." He screamed out in his drunkenness, while grabbing the beer and going upstairs.

Iris saw snow starting to fall outside the window, and assumed that her dad was there to take her to the arctic. She grabbed her suitcase and walked the four blocks to the observatory. She knew it was her dad, because..well.. Snow isn't common in Florida.

When she got there, she saw something unexpected. Her dad, transformed to his human size, arguing with her mother. Iris stayed in the hallways and listened through a crack in the door.

"Why should I have her longer than a fuckin' week? Give me a good god-damn explanation now!"

"Because she's fucking dangerous! I had demigods just like her go busting through my fuckin' roof six months ago, and I had another case just like them a year ago!"

"I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT YOUR DAMN ROOF! TAKE HER AND GO BOREAS!"

"FINE! I'M TAKING HER JUST TO GET YOU TO SHUT YOUR DAMN TRAP!" Boreas used a gust of cold wind to push Iris into the room.

"LET'S GO IRIS!" Boreas screamed at Iris, grabbing her wrist and tugging her outside.

When they got outside, Iris saw her half-sibling Khione, and the Boreads. They summoned their wings and flew off. Khione kept giving her weird looks.

"What is it? Is something on my face?" asked Iris, rather confused. Khione just looked away, rolling her eyes.

Iris didn't understand. She hadn't done anything. They had always been friendly and kind to her, but they were acting so mean and, well, cold.

This got worse over the months. Yes months. Iris' mother and her mother's boyfriend were killed in a car accident. The cause: Unknown. She knew it was all their fault, though. Iris had an older sister. But, she couldn't legally take care of Iris even though she was already moved out. When Sapphire, Iris' older sister got the news, she left for summer camp immediately. Even though she wasn't supposed to go for another week.

Boreas had told her about the camps. He had told her about her and her sister. When they grew up, they would go to summer camps. Sapphire would go to camp Jupiter, for other people like her. But she and Iris were different. Iris would go to camp half-blood. She was supposed to leave for camp when she turned eleven years old. It would protect her. Now Boreas seemed to try as hard as he could to convince her she was safe and that she didn't need to go.

The cruel treatment of the Boreas, Khione, and the Boreads got worse. A LOT WORSE. Until Iris couldn't take it anymore. So she ran away.

She ran away to camp. Where she would be safe. Away from the true monsters.
