This fanfic is based on the Solangelo pairing but I like creating and inventing my own characters so some things are the same but others are not. I'm writing this to help me get over a pretty bad breakup so I'm sorry if some scenes feel weirdly emotional. I do not own any of Rick Riordan's work or any of the characters mentioned in his books. Hope you enjoy it! -Ignats23
Chapter 1: Emily
I've been going to Camp Half-Blood since I was 13. I ran away from home 5 times before being placed in a school for troubled children. There I met a satyr protector who saved me. My mom had slowly become an alcoholic throughout my childhood and tended to be with guys who were not just abusive to her, but often abusive to me also. My mother never stopped the abuse and sometimes joined in on it. She always said that I reminded her too much of my dad, that I was too filled with light and was taking all the spotlight from her. I ran away the first time when I was 10 and when the authorities returned me to my mom and her boyfriend (they were completely civilized and said the few bruises I had were just from me being rough and tumble) they beat me black and blue and locked me at home till the bruises faded. When they finally removed me from my mom's care I was put at a school with other kids who had been abused or had been labeled as 'troublemakers'. Finally a satyr named Freddie found me and took me to camp. He found me one of the foster families that worked with the camp and took in kids and they became my family. My mom gave up her parental rights and the family adopted me on my 15th birthday. Oh I forgot to say that my dad is Apollo.
At camp I figured out I helped other people best by becoming a therapist and counselor to other kids. I was good at medicine but because of my experiences I made a great therapist and people opened up to me. I even started working with my friend Alyssa, daughter of Aphrodite, and we became relationship counselors. I found where I belonged. I was really happy. All of the injuries from my past had healed and all my injuries now were from training.
I know this first chapter probably wasn't that great. I'll try and post a new chapter soon! I'd love your comments, reviews, and suggestions!
