Windows, they give a view of the free outside world. A place for a little girl to look up at the sky and dream of a better place other than the run down orphanage that kept her prisoner. Another abandoned baby at the door step with only a note and a name. This baby lived in in that orphanage for 12years and no one ever came for her. No one ever wanted her. Not that she was freakish in appearance far from it actually. She was beautiful, with silk soft copper waves, sun kissed skin, and bright jade eyes. It was her silence and kept-to-myself attitude. In all that time only a free spirited girl named Vanessa brought her out of her shell. Her attitude changed and she became more easygoing, but soon her dear friend left, Vanessa got adopted and left a scared little girl behind. This little girl's name was Minory, a girl that was always odd and never able to sit still. And tonight she would be pushed or the edge and on the path of no return. The heating bill wasn't paid for so it was a very cold night. She was already shivering slightly but Minory hear the chattering of teeth and turned to see her roommate a new girl, Abby, was coming down with a cold and the freezing wouldn't help her condition. Minory sighed and got out of bed with her covers and rapped them around Abby.
Her shivering stopped and she seemed to relax in her sleep. Minory gave a small smile and looked around the room. The night sky showed it was about 2am. Nice time for a late night stroll she thought. She grabbed her coat, pulled on some wool socks and boots, and headed out the door. This wasn't an out of the ordinary thing for her to do. She hardly ever slept soundly. She hugged herself and walked by the park by the orphanage. The fall leaves rustled when she walked over them. She didn't know if it was just her imagination but she could have sworn she heard a second pair of feet rustling along with hers. Fear made her pace quicken and so did the other pair. She broke into a run she didn't dare look back in fear of what she would see. A soft tune filled the air and Minory found herself slowing down. "Turn around my darling; I want to see your lovely face before I make you a midnight snack, daughter of Apollo." An alluring voice said. Minory had no choice but to turn around. She was now face to face with a winged woman. "Who are you?" she stuttered. The woman took a step forward and Minory took one back. She had read about these types of creatures, she is a siren.
Minory covered her ears turned and ran. The siren and screeched and flew after her. Minory kept running but she was plucked up from the earth and quickly rising. She screamed and tears fell from her eyes. The sharp talons of the Siren pierced her skin. Minory thought her life was over, when arrows started whizzing past her ears. The beast screamed in pain and released her. The wind was hitting her face and she was falling in incredible speed. At least it will be quick she thought. There was a voice in the distance "Percy, catch her!" A female voice yelled. Minory fell into the arms of Percy Jackson. She was still shaking and a few tears fell from her face. "Hey, it's alright you're safe now" Percy told her softly. She opened her eyes and looked into his. They were so blue she felt as if she was staring into the ocean.
Annabeth came running to Percy and Minory her blond hair falling away from her ski cap. "Is she okay?" She asked Percy. He didn't get a chance to answer because at that moment the hunters arrived. One of them had dark hair and she ran up to Percy and Annabeth and engulfed them into a group hug. It was Thalia and she had missed her friends so much since she had joined the hunt 2years ago. Percy placed Minory on the ground and all eyes were on her. It made her feel uncomfortable and she stared at the ground. It was the feet that appeared in front of her that made her look up. She looked into the golden yellow eyes of the goddess Artemis. Artemis gaze was kind and she shook her head while chuckling. "You have you father's eyes" She said smiling. Minory was confused she knew nothing of her parents and here comes this woman saying that she had her father's eyes. "Umm who are you? And how do you know my father?" She asked quietly. "My name is Artemis goddess of the hunt and I know your father because he is my twin brother" The goddess responded.
