"How to explain my family" luke said "the first word that pops into my head is dysfunctional. My dad was hermes the messenger of the gods he left us when i was a baby. I met him once and once was enough for me. My mom...i was never sure what happened but she was completely insane. She would get surrounded by green mist, her eyes would start glowing and she would start shaking me saying crazy things about my fate. I would hide in closets so she wouldn't find me. On good days her connection to reality was frayed. She would talk to her toys and potter around the garden talking to herself. I ran away when i was seven i ran away i didn't know what else to do. I met thalia and annabeth, they were the family that i never had. We would curse the gods and our families. we built safe houses life wasn't good but it was better than i had ever seen it Thalia broke her leg and i had to treat it i snuck into my house to get medical supplies, hermes was there, with my mom. I was shaking with rage. I was so mad at him for abandoning me. Thalia and annabeth came in they had heard me yelling at hermes. I was chewing him out for leaving me with my mother. Then thalia stumbled and i remembered why i was there. I grabbed bandages out of the cupboard and set her leg. Annabeth was hiding behind me scared of my parents. 'Well' hermes said 'i see you found your family.' 'yeah, i did' i muttered. We left. That was the last time i ever saw them.
