Oh and by the way, I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or The Heroes of Olympus. If I did, I wouldn't have a math test tomorrow.

Prologue

Dear diary,

I'm Charlotte De Luca. You can call me Charlie. I'm 10 years old and live in Boston, Massachusetts. Today is my birthday. You were my favorite present, diary. My family gave you to me. In my family, I have my mommy, daddy, and my older brother named Tyler. I love them very much. Well diary, I have to go now. It's time for my birthday party!

Forever yours,

Charlie

"Charlie! Time to go to your birthday party!", my mother called. "Ok mommy", I answered back. Mommy, Daddy, Tyler and I climbed in our minivan and were off to the amusement park where my birthday party was being held. It was a long ride so I sunk back into my seat and dozed off.

An hour later I was awoken by the car fiercely swerving, horns beeping, and my mother screaming. Before I knew it, the car was thrown off the road and my family's screams died down. I felt something warm and wet trickle down my head and onto my face. Blood, I realized. Dots began to cloud my vision. The last thought that crossed my mind before I blacked out was, "Why? Why would God do this to us?"

The next time I opened my eyes, I was in a white room. So white, it hurt my eyes. I tried to sit up quick, but it made me dizzy. I shut my eyes and leaned my head back. When I came to my senses, I realized where I was. I was in a hospital. I was strapped down in a bed and my head was wrapped up in a large white bandage. Suddenly everything came rushing back to me. I remembered the accident and the screams of the ones that I loved were still fresh in my ears. I called out for my mommy. I called out for my daddy. I called out for Tyler. No answer.

Tears pricked my eyes. I screamed and thrashed. I just wanted to get out of this white prison. Suddenly, the door opened and unfamiliar faces came into the room. I didn't ask for their names, I just asked for the story. They told me what happened, and that my family didn't survive the crash. They told me ever so gently, but it felt like a slap in the face. I just sat there, unable to move a muscle and listened to the strangers talk in hushed voices using words like orphanage, adoption, and foster home.

So, that was my first chapter. Like it? (yay) Hate it? (plz don't) Tell me what you think and REVIEW! Just one request, please don't post nasty comments, but I'm open to all criticism!

Thanks a bunch,

Summer
