oakydoakey (ive been sitting by an oak tree all day so dont judge) story time!
On a stormy August day, the 20th to be exact, in California a new baby was delivered to the Collective Children's Foster home on 5th Avenue and Grand. All there was was a tiny baby in a sea foam green basket with a note. The note read: Her name is Leyna Smith, please take care of her. With that the new baby girl was added to the foster home. Leyna grew into a very feisty girl with a bad attitude. She had raven black hair, and deep sea green eyes that looked like the sea. When Leyna was about 5 years old that's when trouble started happening.
Chapter 1
Leyna
"WAAAAAA! SHE HIT ME!"
"I DIDN'T HIT YOU I SIMPLY HIGH FIVED YOUR UGLY MUG!"
That's how almost everyday went with me. I had a very short temper for a girl my age. But some little brat always came up to me for some Gods known reason and took away my Legos. I mean they were asking for it practically. I totally had the right to knock him upside the head. That's when the foster care taker usually came hollering at me to stop. But this time it was different. She started yelling at me like normal and but I heard the water rumbling in the small kitchen sink as I started getting more and more angry. After about a minute the pipes in the walls exploded and water was everywhere. All the kids were screaming and crying and soon the caretaker forgot all about me. My only instinct was to run, so I ran outside to be shocked by a cool breeze.
*Go east my daughter.* A masculine voice told me. . . in my head!
*Why?*
*Just go, meet with a few and then continue onward*
*I dunno who you are but I ain't goin' no where until I know why*
*Go Leyna, you will meet a robber, and a fighter on your journey. Bring them with, for they are important in your future. Now go my child.*
Then the voice disappeared, thankfully.
My first instinct was again to run. So naturally I did. I ran until I couldn't go anymore, or at least until all the shouts had died down. I was in some sort of forest, one carefully decorated with thick evergreens and leafy ferns. I kept running until I found a decent looking stream to stop by. My hair was a mess now stuck with twigs and such but all I wanted to do was get by the water. I had always felt stronger surrounded by the liquid so I just fell in. The current wasn't strong so I sat and slept for a good hour or so. Then the voice came back, much to my dismay.
*My daughter, you mustn't sleep. Go now. Find a shelter. Here, as a token to help you.*
In my hands was a gold faced watch with a leather strap.
*What am I supposed to do with dis? It's a freaking watch!*
This voice was starting to tick me off. SMall waves were forming in the stream as the sky's color started to darken.
*Spin the hand clockwise it is a sword, spin it counter clockwise it is a bow and arrow. Oh and it tells time.*
*Oh joy I can tell time while running for my life. Thanks voice.*
*No problem, now go.*
And off I ran.
I slept for a few minutes by a large evergreen, thankful for the shade of the branches, then went off running east. After a few hours of running and dozing I could hear my stomach grumbling and I knew it was time to eat. After leaving the foster care place in such a hurry I didn't have time to bring simple necessities with. I really wanted to get something to eat, but I realized I had no money. And there was no grocery store in sight. Gods, what I would give for some chocolate. After a few hours I decided to hunt. NAtures grocery store would have to do the trick. I was actually pretty good with a bow and arrow, I got a few squirrels only on my first try. It started getting dark so I decided it was time to make a fire. When the embers started glowing that's when rustles broke out all around me.
"Come here s-s-spawn of the sssea god." When I turned around I saw three snake ladies walking towards me. They were truly horrid creatures. Two carried swords while the other wore only a breast plate. They were hissing as they slid toward me, the scales of their tales glittering with goo. One of the armed snake ladies, obviously the braver of the three, charged me with her glittering sword but I easily shot them down. She fell to the ground, a sea foam colored arrow protruding her chest. As soon as she fell however her body turned to a golden dust. I stared in confusion as the two other snake ladies screamed. Well one tried to scream but it got slightly muffled I shot it in the throat. With the two gone it only left the last one with the breastplate, the ugliest of them all.
"Get ya ugly mug away from me." Then I said as I notched another arrow. The last remaining snake person pounced and damn was she fast. I turned my back and ran as quickly as I could away from the creature as she disappeared into a cloud of fog behind me. That's pretty much so how it went for about four years of my life. Hunting, getting attacked by monsters and then running. But one day though it all changed.
I was sitting in a tree cutting an apple up with my sword when something started hissing a few yards away. I dropped the apple core and leaped, gracefully landing in a crouch on the ground. I kept my eyes on the bushes until something hideous popped out. I nearly flinched as the monster charged towards me. It had six blue hydra heads with snakes for feet. It had dark ominous raven eyes and lion body. This monster just reeked of death. I turned and notched an arrow but the monster kept changing so I sidestepped out of the brush and that is when I stumbled upon a cliff. Waves were crashing below, about a thousand something feet below to be exact. The hydra's hissing was getting closer when the voice decided to show up again.
*Jump my daughter.*
*What drugs you doin? I will die!*
*No you won't, jump.*
*If I die I will come back and haunt ya.*
I stared once more at the waves below and as the hydra finally popped out of the underbrush I had made my decision. The wind was whistling past my ears as my raven hair billowed around me. As the water neared I could feel myself growing stronger, almost as if my energy was being charged by the waves, almost as if-
My thoughts were rudely interrupted by my body hitting the surface.
I must have blacked out by the impact because when I woke up I was on a sandy beach with a lady looking down at me. She looked 25ish and was very skinny, her small blouse clinging to her ribcage. She had a slim tan face with big blue eyes surrounded by dark eyelashes, and a tiny nose with some freckles. She had sandy blonde hair that was tumbling in waves onto her small shoulders.
"Are you alright?" The lady's voice sounded calm, and sweet.
"Where am I?" I said in confusion as I pulled my damp hair off of the wet sand.
"And um why am I here. All I remember is falling off a erm. Well falling."
The lady gave a perplexed look but then came back to her cheery smile.
"You are in New York, and I have no clue why you are here. My names Ashley by the way. Now where are your parents sweetie?" Ashley asked as she eyes looked up and down my body. I must have looked strange, a nine year old girl washed up on the other side of the country wearing ripped skinny jeans and a black torn v-neck. Not you average day scenario.
"I don't have 'ny parents. I was in a foster care home but it kinda of um," do I tell her? "flooded." Ashley looked me over once more, her eyebrows furrowing in thought.
"Do you have a place to stay?"
I just shook my head. She looked at me with some pity as her watery blue eyes crinkled in the corners slight.
"My names Leyna Smith. I don' have a last name, and no I um don' remember nothin'."
She gave me a sympathetic look, and then helped me up just as the tide began to come in. The sun was slowly descending in the sky and Ashley looked over at it warily.
"Since it is getting dark you can stay with me if you want. I have a small house and I wouldn't mind some company. If you didn't mind." This lady seemed nice enough. She obviously didn't seem like a Greek or Roman monster so no harm could be done by staying with her for a few nights.
"Thanks, but erm Ashley? You might wanna know I'm what they call "challenged." I'm dyslexic 'n' AD/HD 'n' I have some temper problems." I knew she probably wouldn't want me now but I had to tell her the simple facts about me.
"Well Leyna, my cars over there. How do you think about having your last name be Ripple?"
