" Dad please?" I whined.
"NO!" He yelled finally looking up at me from his desk, "I told you, I do not have the time to play games with you!" My dad is the CEO of a mega company, and we currently live in a highrise in Manhattan.
"You never have enough time to even look at me," I mutter as I walk away. When I pass by the nanny- Will, well he is more like my brother and its kinda weird to call him a nanny. Anyway when I pass by Will he looks scared. I just ignore it though I don't want to see his face, it will be the only thing that can keep me from leaving. I rushed to my room to pack some of my stuff, when I was finished I took one long look at my room and I realized I would miss it. All the times my father ignored me this was my safe haven, looking at my vanity I realized I was missing something. " My hair clip!" It was a shiny silver clip with three black stars and a moon, and it is also the last thing I have from my mom.
My mom left us after I was born, my dad didn't know much about her, but he loved her and i'm pretty sure he's not over her even though its 16 years later. I grabbed my clip and put it in my suitcase, zipped the suitcase, and put it on the floor. I took one more look around the room making sure I didn't forget anything, once satisfied that I had what I needed I walked out of my room and towards the front door but before I could get there Will blocked me.
" Where are you going?" He asked, I tried to walk around him but he blocked me again.
" To a friends house," I lied. He didn't look convinced though, so I tried to walk around him again and this time he let me through. I looked back when I reached the front door but he was gone...strange. Opening the door with more power than I needed I walked out of the home I grew up in.
The cab pulled over at my friend Jenna's town house. I gave the cab driver his money and watched as he pulled away. "Layla," I heard someone say from the alley across the street, assuming it was Jenna I crossed the street and said, "What?"
" Come over here," Jenna replied
"Ewww why? It's gross over there!" But before I could walk away a giant hand grabbed me. " Ahhhhhhhh! Let me go!" But it was no use, whatever it was wouldn't let go, so I tried everything I could: I scratched, punched, kicked, and almost bit him but then I decided that would be gross, and finally he let me go. Not thinking the plan through I fell and hit the ground- HARD. I saw stars in my eyes when I tried to get up, but soon they went away and when I saw the THING that was holding me I wanted the stars to appear again. It was a monster! A monster that was so tall I had to tilt my head back really far but when I saw his face I realized maybe it wasn't such a good idea to look up because he had ONE eye!
"Ahhhh," the cyclops sighed, " What a beautiful demigod, you are gonna be soooo yummy. Any last words my dear?" Then he started laughing a real evil laugh, one you would see in a scary movie when the villain just comes up with an amazing plan. I try to get up but fall and I hit my head AGAIN but before I became unconscious I saw a figure that somewhat looked like Will attack the cyclops.
