Hello everyone! My name is Alisson but you can call me Lee, and this is my first fanfiction! It's not an AU and the first chapter is set just after the Second Giant War. Percy and Annabeth are both 19 and already went to college in New Rome but don't worry, they are going to appear a lot in the fanfiction a little later. Please review, any criticism is accepted and flamers will be ignored. Good reading for all of you!

AMBER'S POV:

I was finishing packing my bags in my bed when I heard a familiar voice.

"Have you finished packing your stuff yet Abbie?" A short, brunette woman stood by the door of my little but cozy room. She had intense auburn eyes, almost red, that made you feel like you were staring at a bonfire. Eyes that made me feel safe and at home, even though I lived in a foster house and had no parents. The memory made me feel a little sad but I shrugged the feeling off my mind.

"Sure! I just finished, H!" Hestia wasn't related to me at all, at least not that I knew. She was a caretaker in the foster house I lived, Golden Heart Foster House for abandoned children, and although she wasn't a relative, she always took care of me since I was abandoned at the building's door when I was a baby, and I always considered her my adopted mother even though she never actually adopted me because she said she didn't have enough money to sustain the both of us in her house.

"I can't believe you are actually leaving!" H said, her eyes watering with tears she was uselessly trying to hold back. "I remember it like it was yesterday, 16 years ago when I started taking care of you after finding you in the front door. You were the cutest little thing and I never stopped loving you since then." When she finished the sentence, she couldn't hold back and tears were streaming down her face.

"Aww, Hestia! Don't be like that! You taught me well enough. I can take care of myself, I promise! And you even got one rich friend of yours to set me up with a free flat until I manage to get the money to buy one myself!" When she first told me 4 weeks ago that she managed to get me a flat, I found it really strange that she had a friend who could just handle a free flat to someone he or she didn't even knew, but I shrugged the thought. "It's not even too far away from here, so you can come and visit me anytime you want as long as I'm not in school!" I said, before getting up from my bed and hugging her.

"I know, Amber, but it won't be the same. I won't ever again be able to wake you up in the morning so you don't miss school, or make you coffee before you leave. I just love you so much Ambrosine! I will miss you so much! I love you Abbie" She hugged me harder, now sobbing on my left shoulder, making my shirt wet.

"I know H. I love you and I will miss you too." I now had tears streaming from my eyes too, knowing that I was leaving the place I called home ever since I was born, 16 years ago.

We were both on the front door and Hestia gave me some money to pay for the cab that had just parked in front of the foster house. She hugged me one last time, still sobbing.

"I will always love you Amber, don't ever forget me!"

"I promise I won't Hestia. You are always going to be the mother I never had." I kissed her cheek one last time, picked up my bags from the ground and entered the cab. The engine started and my heart jumped knowing I was going in the direction of a new life, a life without Hestia to take care of me 24/7. I looked back to the foster house one last time and saw Hestia entering the front door, and for a moment I could've sworn I saw a fiery glint escaping through the crevices of the closing door, but shrugged my shoulder. "Meh, it's probably just my imagination."

10 minutes later, the cab stopped in front of an old 4-story building in the middle of NY. I got out, carrying my bags out by myself (I don't have a lot of clothes, just the necessary) and looked at the driver, who seemed to be in his late years already, with no hair in the top of his head at all, probably because of stress, poor thing.

"It's going to be thirty dollars miss." He said, smiling at me. I gave him the fifty dollars Hestia gifted me earlier this afternoon.

"Keep the change sir!"

"Well, aren't you a good hearted lady! Thank you very much!" He said, before driving off.

I turned around, my bags still in my hands, and walked inside the building, climbing the stairs up to the third floor. I stared at the door with the number 302 written on. I picked the key with the same number written on it from my pocket and placed it the keyhole. I already missed the auburn eyes that watched over me for all my life until now.

"New life and new home, here I come."

Hello peeps, thank you for reading all the way to the bottom. This was a short story, just to present some key points of the plot I'm planning. Don't worry about asking about the Camp and all things related, as Amber is going to be there in the next chapter already, and it is going to be longer than this one too. It's pretty obvious who is Amber's godly parent, and before you ask about it being a virgin goddess, I'm already going to clear that out and say Amber wasn't born the normal way, just like Athena's children aren't too, and I will explain it further in the fanfiction. Thanks for reading and please review! Bye!
