Chapter 1
Hi, my name is Taurus Valdez. Some of you may be thinking hey that's Leo's last name. Others may be thinking whatever her last name is Valdez so what? Any way, ever since my family, well my mom, brother, and I (I never knew my dad ) had a picnic at a beach and they left me by accident I've been one the run from the orphanage, foster homes, etc.
One day I had managed to scrounge up about five dollars and went to a Little Ceasers. Out side was a girl. She looked like she was on the run too. Her magenta t-shirt and black leather jacket was speckled with dirt. Her purple jeans were ripped at the knees. Her black hair was frizzy and tangled. She had chocolate brown eyes, besides a few cuts and bruises she looked fine.
I walked over and asked, " Hey umm do you want some pizza? And just curious but where are your parents?"
" Ummm you swear not to tell?"
" Yeah."
" I got lost a while back and lost my dad. I never knew my mom."
" Well, on that cheery note, do you want some pizza?"
" Sure."
We went inside and ordered a pizza. When we were heading out the man at the counter said, "Young ladies, where are your parents ?"
"Ummm." I said thinking that I was done for. I was going back to a foster home.
" They're in the truck outside." The girl said.
" Ok." The man said. His eyes following us as we went out the door. As soon as we touched the street we ran. We stopped running about three blocks away in front of a Kholes. We sat down and ate some pizza.
" What's your name?" I asked.
" Midnight, what's yours?" she said.
"Taurus."
Two teenagers came out from the building. One was a boy the other was a girl.
The boy had messy black hair and sea green eyes. He had a decent tan too. The girl had blond hair tied back in a pony tail. She had gray eyes that had a bluish tint. They were laughing and talking.
"Percy Jackson stop messing with my hair!" The girl laughed.
" Sorry Annebeth." The Percy guy said. Then he stopped an turned to look at me and Midnight.
"Where are your parents?" He asked. I was really getting tired of answering that question.
"They're inside." I said.
"Ok." He said. The we turned around just to see a Little Ceasers truck coming our way.
" Ummm, we should go." I said. Midnight nodded. We started to run.
"HEY. COME BACK!" Percy shouted. I thought we were done when the Little Ceasers truck pulled in front of us and the driver got out.
"You girls are coming with me. Your parents weren't in a truck." He said. Just then Annebeth and Percy ran up.
" Girls there you are. We were so worried. Right honey." Annebeth said. Looking at Percy.
" Oh uh Yeah, don't run off again." Percy said obviously not happy about acting like he was my dad.
