Hey there! I'm really new at this, first story! Constructive criticism means a lot to me but no flames please! I appreciate that you're taking the time to read the story! Enough rambling though, on with the story!
Disclaimer: Anything you recognize I don't own.
Samantha's PoV (OC)
I love the feeling of sand between my toes when I wade through the calm tides at the beach. I love the way the salty ocean air blows through my choppy, wind swept, blonde hair. I love the way the sea life meander harmlessly in the coral by the shore, taunting me to join them in the cool liquid. I love the way my mother looks at the ocean, as if it holds one last mystery. As if it will bring back my father and brother, lost at sea.
Mom says I got dad's eyes, like swirling vortexes of seaweed. Personally, I despise them. Sure the color's cool but I can't see anything without my glasses.
I look up from the starfish I was staring at, pushing the thick lenses further up my nose. I spot a glint of green in the sand a little ways down the beach. "That's odd," I thought. "nobody ever litters on our beach." I dash over to it as fast as humanly possible when running on sand.
The object I saw glinting was a green bottle, one that you might find holding champagne. Instead the glass treasure held a piece of paper. Picking up the fragile item I made my way back to the set up of umbrellas and tacky yellow lawn chairs.
As I sat down I came across the realization that the opening of the glass bottle was hardly big enough to slide the paper out. What else could I do to extract the note from the bottle? Glass... glass is fragile... I could break it open on a rock!
Glass shards were everywhere. Definitely NOT my best idea. Brushing aside the shards I gently pick up the bedraggled piece of paper and head back to my sanctuary of beach paraphernalia.
After I got comfortable in my Nemo beach chair (yes I am twelve, Disney is for all ages), I took a first glance at the writing. It was in a strange language... was that greek? Somehow I was able to read it. The first line read:
Hello, my name is Perseus (Percy) Archimedes Jackson.
My breath hitched in my throat. My long lost father. The man I never met. I need mom.
A/N: And there it is! Sorry it's kinda short... I promise the chapters will be longer in the future.
Just incase there was some confusion, Sam is the twelve year old daughter of Percy and Annabeth. She doesn't know about the demigod world, yet. I don't want to spoil the rest of the story, I hope you enjoy it!
Please feel free to review ;)
