My name is Alexa Casidy Smith. My adoptive parents didn't change my last name. I was 7 when the monsters started finding and attacking me. At first my instincts kept me alive, but it didn't take long before I left home to protect my family. If I hadn't left they would have all been killed. My adoptive parents, older brother and sister Tom and Katrina (the twins), and little three year old Lilly. Lilly and I were the only ones who weren't biologically related.
After I ran away I was on my own for about a month-and-a-half when I bumped into a group of demigods and a satyr. The demigods, especially a blonde male (the only male demigod, for the other two were girls) named Luke Castellan, wanted to take me with them. But the satyr, named Grover, Kept arguing that they were in too much danger already. As they were arguing a hellhound tried to sneak up on them. The hellhound was 3 to 4 times my size, and no one else noticed it! I didn't think I just acted. I quickly took the dagger from Luke's belt, leapt over the blonde girl, who was younger than the rest, Annabeth was her name, and sliced the beast's throat. It instantly turned to golden dust. I flipped the dagger over a couple of times in my hand; it felt good. Definitely better than the sword I had found about a week after I ran away, it as easier to carry too. "Okay she can come, on one condition." Grover said. "What's the condition?" a black haired girl dressed in a punk-rock outfit, I believe her name was Thalia asked. "Luke lets her keep the dagger." Grover joked. "Deal" All three demigods said at once. In return for the dagger I gave Luke my sword. " Thanks, but you don't have to, I'll manage." He said. " I don't like it, so please, keep it." I replied. With that he took the sword and tied its sheath to his belt. "Are you two coming?" Thalia called. Realizing that we'd fallen behind, Luke grabbed my hand and tugged me to the rest of the group.
A/N Happy Chapie ending. Next Chapter skips ahead a bit.
