Hey, so this is my first Fan Fiction for PJO, but I have written eight other stories for House of Anubis and Witch and Wizard. Please Read and Review.

Alyssa's POV

They looked, gawked, stared, letting their mouths catch flies as they watched me do my deed to Kerrigan. She deserved it, and she is always wearing sparkles, so I am sure she won't mind the shiner I gave her eye. As I stomped and trudged back down the hallway of my school, Hailey limped over to me.

"You already know I am not in the mood now Hailey!" I spoke through clenched teeth.

"Lyss, listen to me! We need to go back to your house. This isn't where you belong right now!" Was Hailey, my best friend, really asking me twice to ditch?

"Kay…" I smirked deviously.

We both ran down the rest of the stretched hallway, and found ourselves at the two doors. I took a step forward and pushed them open with a great force, letting the wind blow in my face. I stepped down and waited for Hailey as she slowly side-stepped down the marble steps.

So much for this "delightful" private school.

I grunted and we walked to the apartment complex down the street, and dodging a car as we galloped across the road. When we reached the other side, I felt a thick lodge in my shoulder and automatically went down.

Hailey screamed. Suddenly, Karen, Hailey's older sister, came out of nowhere in her car and Hailey threw me in. I was still in pain.

As I stopped my eyes from rolling into the back of head, I turned around and saw what had happened.

Who the heck slings an arrow at a fourteen year old girl's shoulder? WTF?

I yanked the gold and sliver arrow out of my shoulder and was splattered with blood. Hailey got blood on her hand, and she looked like she might start convulsing.

"Oh, calm down Peppermint, it is just a little blood. Geez, seriously…" I smiled at her as she glared back for calling her by her nickname I gave her. She knew she loved the name, but Karen has held it against her for years!

I looked back down at the now red arrow in my hands and once again noticed my tattoos. Two years ago, when I turned twelve, I decided to run away from the stupid orphanage and live in school. It didn't work out. The first night, Karen spotted me after getting water from the fountain and noticed me not leaving. She invited me home with her and I met Hailey. They were… different. It was just the two of them living in a really messed up apartment, but it was better than a linoleum tile pillow.

A year later, after Karen turned eighteen, she decided to get a tattoo with both of us girl's names. I snuck to the artist after and got my own tattoo. The word love marked my right wrist in cursive. Hate stood on my left wrist in a crumbling font. I thought it completely described my life.

Hailey said nothing, She just stared at the blood that dried between her fingers, longing for some hand sanitizer.

I felt a sudden urge to blow the lid off this car.

"Wait, what the? What just happened back there!" I screamed

Karen answered, "You'll see soon."

I slumped back in my chair and grunted, feeling the pain in my shoulder grow worse. I ignored it.

I slightly rolled down my squeaky window, and immediately felt the wind on the old dirt road blow my blonde hair back, including it's dyed black streaks. I felt the wind hit my pale, thin body. I was letting the wind be my first normal breath for this entire car ride.

Karen soon stopped the car in front a large wooded lawn. I could see strawberry fields in the distance.

In a split second, Hailey and Karen were both out of the car and rushing to get to me. They opened my door.

"I can walk you know…" My voice was dripping with sarcasm, but they took it as it was, and I hopped down with my hand on my wound. They closed the door and we began walking to a sealed arch.

"Wait!", I ran back to the car and grabbed the arrow, wincing when I slammed the door shut with my wrong arm, "Always need a souvenir!" I yelled and we began towards the gate.

I suddenly heard a click, and soon turned to be face to face with an arrow headed straight for my shoulder once again.

Let's just say, I didn't dodge it too well.

And everything went black.

So I hope you enjoyed this.

Review!
