-A PJO FanFiction-

One day in California, a new baby was delivered to the Collective Children's Foster home. All there was was a tiny baby with a note. The note read- Her name is Leyna Smith, please take care of her. And with that a new baby was added to the foster home. Leyna grew into a very fiesty girl. She had raven black hair, and very green eyes. When Leyna was about 5 years old that's when trouble came.

{Leyna}

"WAAAAAA! SHE HIT ME!"

"I DIDN'T HIT YOU, I SIMPLY HIGH FIVED YOUR UGLY MUG!"

That's how almost everyday went with me. I had a very short temper. But some little brat always came up to me for some Gods known reason and took away my Legos. I totally had the right to knock him upside the head. That's when the foster care taker came. She started yelling at me and I heard the water rumbling as I started getting angry. And boom! The pipes in the walls exploded and water was everywhere. My only instinct was to run, so I ran outside to be shocked by a cool breeze.

*go east my daughter* A voice told me. . . In my head!

*why?*

*just go, meet with a few and then continue onward*

*I dunno who you are but I ain't goin' no where until I know why*

*Go Leyna, you will meet a robber, and a fighter on your journey. Bring them with, for they are important in your future. Now go my child.*

Then the voice disappeared.

My first instinct was run. So naturally I did. I ran until I couldn't go anymore. I fell by a stream and sat and slept. Then the voice came back.

*my daughter, you mustn't sleep. Go now. Find a shelter. Here as a token to help you.*

In my hands was a watch.

*what am I supposed to do with dis?! It's a freaking watch!*

This voice was ticking me off.

*spin the hand clockwise it is a sword, spin it counter clockwise it is a bow and arrow. And it tells time.*

*oh joy. Thanks voice.*

*no problem, now go.*

And off I ran.

I slept for a few minutes, then went off running east. I decided to get something to eat, but I realized I had no money. Gods, what I would give for some chocolate. After a few hours I decided to hunt. I was pretty good with a bow and arrow, so I got a few squirrels. When I started a fire, that's when rustles broke out all around me.

"Come here s-s-spawn of the sssea god." When I turned around I saw three snake ladies walking towards me. I shot one down then notched another arrow.

"Get ya ugly mugs away from me." Then I shot another and the last one pounced. I ran as quickly as I could away. And that's how it went for about 4 years of my life. Hunting, getting attacked by monsters and then running. One day though it all changed.

This monster came charging at me. It had hydra heads, but snakes for feet, with raven eyes and lion body. This monster just smelled of death. I turned and notched an arrow, but I stumbled upon a cliff.

*jump my daughter.*

*what drugs you doin? I will die!*

*no you won't, jump.*

*if I die I will come back and haunt ya.*

And with that I jumped off the cliff. While falling I could feel myself growing stronger, but then I hit the surface of the water.

I must have blacked out because when I woke up I was on a beach, with a lady looking down at me. She looked 25ish and was very skinny. She had a slim tan face, with big blue eyes, and a tiny nose.

"Are you alright?" The lady's voice sounded calm, and sweet.

"Where am I? Um why am I here. All I remember is falling off a erm. Cliff."

The lady gave a perplexed look but then came back.

"You are in New York, and I have no clue why you are here. My names Ashely by the way. Do you have a place to stay?"

I just shook my head.

"My names Leyna Smith. I don't have a last name, and no I um don't remember nothin."

She gave a sympathetic look.

"You can stay with me if you want, I have a small house and I would love to have a child. If you didn't mind." This lady seemed nice enough.

"Thanks, but erm Ashley? You might want to know I'm what they call "challenged" I'm dyslexic and ADHD, also I have some temper problems." I knew she probably wouldn't want me but I had to tell her about me.

"Well Leyna, my cars over there. How do you think about having your last name be Ripple?"
