I do not own PJO. I am a girl, and clearly not Rick Riordan.
Chapter 1
Lottie's POV
I was at school when they told me.
My science teacher told me to go to the office. I thought it was really weird that she was crying. Maybe she had allergies.
So I got my messenger bag and went up to the front office. They told me that my mom had a heart attack, and died. I fainted in shock. She was all I had. My dad left before I was born. I was an orphan.
The principal took me home, and left me with the EMTs, the police, and my new caretaker, Ms. Jane.
I ran past them all up to my room. Grabbing my duffel bag, I began to pull clothes out of my closet, enough to last me a week. Then I took everything important to me, and put it in there too. Laptop, cell phone, wallet, driver's license, camera, iPod, all of it. I ran into my mom's old room and opened the top drawer to find the secret stash. Over a thousand dollars that my mom had saved up over the years. I took all of it.
Running downstairs, I went into the kitchen. Here, I took food, water, a flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, and my meds.
And I left.
