Disclaimer: Hi! This is my first Fan Fic so please be gentle with the comments I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS! That belongs to ! I do own Xia but she will never be as awesome as the original characters . I also own Sruti, Nathan, Lauren, Ada, Abby, Alecia, Lily, and Maddie. They are all based off of people I Know P.S XIA IS NOT BASED OFF OF ME! I LOOK NOTHING LIKE HER AND IT HAS ALWAYS REALLY ANNOYED ME WHEN PEOPLE BASE THEIR MAIN CHARACTERS OF OFF THEMSELVES!
I stood there in silence…..looking over the body of a young man. His eyes were teary and bloodshot with and glassy as he limply stared ahead. His chest rose one last time, just to show the world how blood filled his lungs where with a shaky, raspy breath. Finally a faint exhale left his lips while adding more blood to the steady stream flowing down the corner of his mouth, while the faint life in his eyes vanished forever. I fell to my knees and backed away from the bloody corpse as fast as I could but I could not escape from the warm pool of blood which incased the carcass.
My breathing increased as I noticed a bloody dagger in my hands. I dropped the dagger with a gasp. 'My hands…' I thought as stared at my hands, they were caked with dried blood, from me or the young man I don't know; I hadn't yet took the time to check myself.
I clawed at the stone walls desperate to be on be my feet once again. With each desperate grab at the wall blood smears ran down like rain. With one last mighty tug my legs were once again reunited with the ground. I seethed as pain shot through my leg, and warm liquid trickled down in a steady flow. As I ran away from the body (or well limped maybe) I gasped as I felt a jerking rip through my torso. There was a sharp, rough pain but it eased immediately. With another quick jerk the object left my body and I crumbled to the floor. I clutched the gapping hole in my stomach only to feel hot, thick, and sticky liquid make its way threw my fingers.
I brought my hand up to my face to find it coated in a golden liquid." Well that probably isn't too normal" I thought as I fought the erg to let my eyes close. A dark hooded figure walked in front of my kneeling form I could not see his but I knew that what ever he was, he was not human. He raised a scythe above his head while glaring at me.
His voice sounded like finger nails being dragged across a chalk bored. "You have ruined my plans for the last time, young goddess" and with that he swung the scythe towards my neck.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The alarm screeched in my ear. I awoke with a gasp and my hands immediately raced for my neck. I swallowed hard as I tried to ease my breathing. "That's it, no more fruit punch before bed" I told myself between breaths. I swung my feet off the bed and shakily walked to the bath room.
I grasped the counter as I Looked into the mirror, staring back at me was a young girl who looked like she had just been to hell and back. My skin was paler than usual, and my long wavy/curly black hair was messy and a few small strands stuck to my damp skin. My stormy gray eyes were blood shot and looked almost tormented. I thought back to my nightmare.
The lifeless look in his eyes, and the dagger I was holding, 'I didn't do that… did I?' A loud knock on the door brought me back to reality. "Xia?" asked my sister "Can I come in?" Before I could answer, the door sung open. "Hey Xia, I need your opinion on this outfit, what would look better, the earrings or the—what the heck happened to you?" she asked, making a face at me. Maddie was my half sister. She was 11.
I had been adopted into her family when I was not even a year old. My adoptive parents Kelly and Jack Smith found me out side of their house one night. I had just one thing with me, a gold coin which had engraved into it the name Xia Stathikis. "Thanks for the compliment!" I laughed. Maddie returned the laugh, "Sorry, you just look sick, do you feel ok?" I nodded quickly hoping she wouldn't become suspicious due to my jitteriness "oh, um ya im fine, just a little tired I was just exited for the last day of school and couldn't sleep." She narrowed her eyes, 'why do these things always happen to me?' I thought to myself.
"Why do I feel like your lying to me?" I started backing up towards the door "oh wow Maddie look at the time I got to get ready for school." I said and walked out the door before she could protest. I walked into my room and threw on a black tee shirt and jeans and ran down the stairs.
My mom was already down stairs getting ready to leave for work. She had her own hair salon.
