DISCLAIMER: I do not own Percy Jackson.

(This is using the characters chosen from my submit a demigod story)

My name is Isla Stevenson, and my life sucks. It has from the moment I was born. My mom disappeared right after she brought me into this world. My Dad said that no one knew where she had gone she had simply vanished. No goodbyes or anything. You'd think that my Dad would be upset over this but he never expressed any resentment or anger towards my mother. I guess that my Dad must still love my Mom because he has never dated anyone since she left.

However bad my parental issues may seem, that isn't the tip of the iceberg. You see strange things always seem to happen around me. When I was five years old a "robber" broke into mine and my Dad's house. I tried to tell the police officer that the so called robber had horns like a bull but he just gave a little laugh and told me to control my imagination.

Then again when I was seven I had another strange encounter. I was walking home from school when I noticed a man following me. He was wearing a long black over coat with a black fedora hat that covered his face. I started to walk a little faster; I didn't like the look of that guy. I looked behind me again to see that the man had also picked up his pace. I started to jog. This man was really starting to scare me. I looked behind me again to see that the man was also jogging. His hat flew off his head and for the first time I saw his face. He had one big eye in the center of his face. I shoved my hand in my mouth to stop myself from screaming. I took one last look at the man's face then I ran as fast as I could back home.

Strange things like this happened routinely to me. These creatures would show up at my school and watch me. Whenever I fought them I would always get expelled. The teachers never seemed to see the monsters. They always thought I was fighting other students or vandalizing property. I am currently attending my seventh school.

I am also ADHD and dyslexic, which is not a good thing to be when trying to fit in and make friends. Most people assume that I'm stupid when I tell them this. That isn't true though. I have been the smartest kid in my class in every school I have attended; my only problem is not being able to read the question. As long as someone reads the question to me I can answer in no seconds flat.

I have never had any friends in any of the schools I've been to. I was always branded as a freak: the stupid dyslexic girl who sees monsters. That's why I have been trying so hard not to get expelled from the school I attend now.

I finally met another girl like me. Her name is Ismene Laport but everyone who knows her calls her Izzy. She is a mischievous fun loving girl. She can be shy around some people but she is always crazy and eccentric around me.

There are so many similarities between Izzy's life and my life. It's almost scary. Like mine her family life sucks. Izzy's mother died when she was born. Her father married another woman when she was four. Her stepmother can't stand Izzy she thinks that Izzy should be placed in an insane asylum because she's a little different.

Izzy's step brother, Jack Laport and her step sister, Kelsey Laport both agree with their mother on that particular point. They have made it there life's work to torment Izzy. Izzy however is extremely mischievous and a bad person to fight with. You are in for way more than you bargained for if you start a fight with Izzy. She is strong willed and determined. She also can't stand a bully.

Izzy is also ADHD and dyslexic. That's just another thing that we have in common. After knowing Izzy for about a month Izzy confessed to me that she sees monsters. I suppose she expected me to run away screaming or maybe try to put her in an asylum. Instead I started jumping for joy. I was so happy that I wasn't the only one. Izzy's revelation sealed our friendship. We became inseparable. Meeting Izzy was the best thing that ever happened to my stupid life.

That's enough mushy, gushy friendship stuff. Now it's time to get on with the real story. As crazy as my life was at that point I didn't realize just how much more insane it could get. My whole perspective on life changed the day I met Izzy. Little did I know my perspective was about to shift again.

Ok so this was just a short chapter to start off this story. This story will be using the characters from my submit a demigod thing. This chapter really is just so you get to know the main characters. Just so you know "flipntwist" created the character Izzy Laport and Isla Stevenson (pronounced eye-la) was all my creation. I hope you enjoyed this chapter there will certainly be more to come.

Please if you liked it tell me. Heck tell me if you didn't like it just please review.
