"Sigh." I whispered at the church, another wedding. My mom, getting married again. See my dad left my mom when he found out she was pregnent (?) with me. For the 11 years I've been alive she's been jumping from husband to husband and sending me to boarding schools. I don't even come home for winter break anymore... or summer break, I go and rent a hotel room with my moms credit card. But of course I have to be at all the weddings, so I'm here. I got up and walked out of the building, down the stairs, and towards the beach. I looked at the water and wondered how long I would have to be under water for me to drown. Did I mention I have suicdial thoughts? Well I do.
Did I mention I also have ADHD and dyslexia? Well I do. Let me introduce myself. I'm Emma Simms, I'm 11 years old but I'll be 12 in two days. I'm tall for my age, I have black hair and sea green eyes. I LOVE to swim. I have been kidded out of 17 schools in the past eight years, or since I started school.
Everything was normal, well my normal, until exactly one month before I turned twelve. Like one night I looked out my window and lighting struck the tree that grows six inches away from my bedroom window. One night I was brushing my teeth and a snake somehow got in and bit me, I started splashing water on my face to keep myself from passing out, and the cut sealed and I was perfectly fine. But last night was the worst (We are still at the wedding). I was already in my over sized hockey jersey and shorts, I lay down in bed and was almost asleep when I heard voices. One sounded like a man, but not my new stepdad, and the other was some boy, I could just tell by his voice.
"Hello?" I said sitting up and they were standing there arguing in my room. They both looked like me, they turned to me then, "Nico! Now!" The boy said and then they were both gone before I could even scream.
"Hey little brat we need you in the chapel now!" My soon to be stepdad shouted at me. I got up and my pants caught a nail and snaged holding me back. He walked out and grabbed my arm then pulled me inside.
My mother looked the same as she always does, terrible. See my mother is an active drinker, she is most likely still hungover from the night before. I pulled out my MP3 and turned Vanilla Twilight by Owl City on. Because I can't stand another one of these stupid weddings, so I just drown them out.
When it was finally over and I got to the airport to leave for my new school in NYC I saw the boy from the night before following me. "Leave me alone you freak!" I shouted at him and ran into the girls room. "He's not a freak. He's trying to help." A girl with blonde hair said to me. "Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to offend your boyfriend!" I said sarcastilcly. "I need to get on my plane." I said and ran out she followed me and shouted "Percy now!" and he grabbed me... then I blacked out...
I woke up later being carried by the boy. "Put me down you freak! HELP! I've been kiddnaped!" He just laughed but didn't put me down. "Tyson can you carry her?" He asked this really big kid. The kid named Tyson nodded and picked me up. "Annabeth she's awake." He said. I think she called him Percy. "Fine if you wouln't let me go at least tell me who you are!" I shouted stubbornly. "I'm Percy Jackson. The girl you met is Annabeth Chase, and this is big guy who's carrying you is Tyson. Your Emma Simms." the Percy kid said. "Until we know you wouln't run away we have to carry you." Annabeth said. "Do I have to trust you?" I asked. They both laughed and said it would help. "You were in my room with some guy who looked just like you. And why did you both and well now you to, why do you look like me?" I said in one breathe. He sighed and didn't awnser me.
"Well?" he loked at me then walked off. "Percy?" Tyson said, worrying about his friend. I looked up and saw he only had one eye, right smack dab in the middle of his face, "DUDE! Your a cyclops! Like from Greek mythology!" I said amused, "Your a real living breathing cylops! So cool!" I said, he seemed happy he had made a friend. "Wait your 11 how do you know about Greek mythology and stuff?" Percy asked me. "Because Percy, I love to read and anything about a dude getting his girlfriend turned into a snake lady is going to be read. That dude Posidion gets on my nerves though. Hades is so much cooler and... well just leave it at that. Zeus is awesome to. My fave goddess is Athena. She's so smart and everything! And I also like Ares. God of war? Awesome right! But 'ol barnicle beard isn't cool at all!" I heard Percy almost growl and Annabeth kinda took a liking to me after that and I got to walk for myself.
At one point I heard Percy saw something like, I'm so sorry father.
Three days later we were at some camp. "Where are we?" I asked. "New York." Annabeth said. "Oh wow! A centaur!" I said. "She doesn't need the introduction." The centuar guy said walking up to us. "This is so cool!" I said jumping up and down. "Wait a second... where am I? And don't say New York." I said/asked. "This is camp half-blood." Said the centaur. "And my name is Chiron." My eyes got big. "No way! The Chiron?" He nodded. "This just gets better and better!" I said. "So why am I here?" I asked. "Because your dad, is a god." I looked at Percy. "Who is it?" I asked.
"For once we know before they get here." Chiron said. "Your father is Posidon; God of the seas, earthshaker." I just stared at him. "NO! It can't be! Posidon? No!" I said shaking my head. "Is she alright?" Chiron asked Annabeth and Percy. "She HATES Posidion." Annabeth said. "This makes it worse!" I said. "What worse?" Percy asked me.
"My life!" I shouted then started crying.
