I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians!!
Beep… beep… beep... I reached over to my night stand, trying to turn off that wretched clock. I am not a morning person. I closed the blinds that were glowing brightly into my eyes. If you are wondering why I have the blinds open if I hate the morning, well I love the night, I love to see the constellations, especially the new one, the hunter, and I love to see the moon in the sky shine brightly. All of my friends call me Luna because of how much I love the moon. I don't know what my real name is; you see I am an orphan. Yeah I know how sad, I never even saw my mother. My father, well he was a hippie, you know save the Earth, and the animals, and he was investigating a group that was hunting endangered animals when he supposedly met my mom. They went to a bar, and pop that's when I came into their perfect equation. My dad told me that when I was born, well lets just say I wasn't supposed to be, anyway when I was born my mom, well she had to leave. My dad said even though she was at the "don't kill the animals" thingy where they met, she was an astronaut. She went to the moon he said, they landed and well they never came back. I was just 1 month old, so I didn't know or remember her in anyway, that's why he started to call me Luna, because of the deadly lunar landing. When I was 5 my dad got caner, he became a drug addict after mom died (A/N don't do drugs!!). He died three months after I found out. No one knew about my mother's side of the family, and all of my dad's family didn't want me, because I was cursed they said. They wanted to lock me up in a loony bin, especially when they found out that I had ADHD and Dyslexia.
They then dropped me off at the orphanage. There they took care of me; I would have rather been with my old dead drug addict father, or on the streets. But I think they knew about my mom, they wouldn't let me go anywhere without supervision.
Once when I was 6 I swore I saw a bear in the woods, and it was saying my lord, let me take you back with me to your mother, you look very much like her. I ran away, and told them crying. They said I was crazy; they gave me more pills after that.
Once when I was 7 it was my first time going to a school to learn, there was a stranger that kept following me, they kicked him out, but they didn't believe me when I told them that the stranger had horns, and a tail. They gave me more pills and another trip to the doctor for that one.
Well I have also been kicked out of that school, then on after that, and after that, oh you get the idea. Well when I was 13, going to my 6th school in 7 years, it was the last week at the horrid boarding school they call Yancy Academy. I have one friend his name is Grover, he understands, though I can tell that he was held back a ton. He was like oh I know that you are different, I once had a friend just like you last year, that was a week ago I turned 14 two days ago, so now I am fourteen and this is my last year in the orphanage, before they send me to a camp, where people like me that have nothing live and learn for the rest of there lives. Yeah, like I will willingly go into that mental institution they call "camp". Though, I don't want to get adopted either, I think I might just run away.
A week ago when I was leaving Grover said that I should go to this camp where people like me went to, and it was an actual summer camp, he wouldn't tell me what it was called unless I said yes, I said no because of that reason. The truth is, is that I really do want to go to a summer camp, I've heard of them, but never been to one. But when he didn't tell me what it was called I had to say no.
Well, Grover said I looked familiar to someone he admires. So I was like whom, my mother? And he was like I don't know your mother, but your hair and your eyes remind me of this woman. Now I was thinking why he would say that, I mean my eyes are an intimidating brown, the color of a deer's fur that reflects off of the moonlight beautifully, and my hair was a long wavy light auburn, that also shined in the moonlight. I am around 5'5'' and have pale skin, why would I remind him of someone that admires him??
The phone started to ring, and back to reality…
"Luna it's for you!!" a little girl, Sue said.
"Thanks Sue." I said back, I picked up the closest phone and said,
"Hello?"
"Luna, oh thank the gods your alive, it's Grover by the way." he said rather fast.
"Okay, yes I'm alive, are you okay?"
"Yes, I am coming to get you there before--" he was interrupted by a bang
"Hold on G-man I am going to see what caused it." I said.
"WAIT NOO IT IS HERE FOR YOU DON'T GO DOWN THE STAIRS, RUN LUNA RUN, I AM OUTSIDE!!" he screamed.
"Relax, it was nothing wait, your outside, I'm coming out," she said as she was about to hang up a huge guy with one eye came in. I screamed "Help!"
And then I was attacked by this grotesquely large man. He was a Cyclops; I saw pictures of that in my myth book 101 from last year. All of the color left my face, I grabbed for the nearest thing which was the knife that my dada gave me, and he said my mom used it to fight back off evil sprits. I threw it at his eye, and it was a direct hit, then I pulled it out and stabbed his chest. It turned into a yellow powder and blew away.
"Whoa," I said with a muffled breath.
that's chapter one, hoped you enjoyed it, reviews are highly appreciated!! bluediva
