[Author's Note] Introducing my first attempt at writing PJO fanfiction. It is going to be a Nico/OC story with appearances by many other characters. However, I haven't decided exactly when it is taking place just yet. Other than that it takes place after The Last Olympian. Hope you like it!

It's been one week since she left. Exactly seven days since my sister took off with her boyfriend and the broken dream of starting a new life. A life I've realized I am not to be a part of.

Deep down inside, I know I should be angry at her. Hell, I should be absolutely furious. The one person left in this world who I thought might actually care about what happens to me has disappeared without a second thought.

What hurts me the most is the fact that she was too much of a coward to properly say goodbye.

I knew something was wrong the minute I opened my eyes last Friday. Yet I chose to ignore those bad feelings and got ready for school like an obedient child. I told myself to ignore the fact that no lights were on in the house. I purposely pretended the house wasn't deathly quiet, save for my footsteps creaking along the floorboards.

My heart dropped when I realized wasn't making her lunch in the kitchen.

I was just about to search the rest of the house for her. I really was.

However, I found myself standing alone in the dark and silent dining room picking up the folded note on the table before I could even fully comprehend my own actions.

Dear Leila…

Tear stains.

I am so sorry.

More tearstains.

You need to understand my actions.

Scribbles.

It's the only way both of us have a chance

My hands began to tremble.

You are such a smart girl. I know you will figure out how to keep going without me.

The note falls from my hands and flutters to the ground

I love you so much.

Your sister, Melanie

I was officially on my own at fourteen years old

The worst part is I know I'M the reason she left. No one is safe when they're around me.

The strangest things happen. I catch creepy things watching me.

I get the feeling they're not human, yet no one ever believed my words.

"What a delightful imagination you have there." They always say, shaking their heads and smiling.

Sometimes these "things" follow me home.

This is the reason why Melanie left. She knows they're here for me, not her.

Without me by her side, she is safe.

Without me by her side, she normal.

Without me by her side, she is free.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Was it…

Good? Bad? Okay?

I'll try to have the first chapter up as soon as I can.

Please Review :)
