Leo

"LEO! GET YOUR PATHETIC SELF IN THIS ROOM THIS INSTANT!"

I groan and put my hands over my ears tightly, begging the god of dreams to suck me back into an endless sleep, where I wouldn't have to get stuck in cold, harsh reality.

"LEO! LEO! LEO!"

I get up and hiss as my fresh wounds from yesterday scrape the floors.

"LEO! NOW, LEO!"

I sigh and walk slowly towards the door.

"LEO!"

My slow steps turn into a fast pace.

"LEO!"

I swear, she was like a yapping chihuahua that would not just SHUT UP.

"What do you want?!"

The middle aged woman sent me a mean glare.

My face heats up an ugly shade of red and I stutter, "... I...I mean..."

Teresa rolls her eyes at me as if she was thinking 'stupid child'.

She shoves some money in my face and pushed me out the door, "You will buy me some milk and some vegetables, "She paused and continued, her words like piercing knifes, "If you buy the wrong kind of vegetable, there will be punishment. If you are not here by 11 AM SHARP, there will be punishment. If you try to runaway again, I will find you EXACTLY like last time and I will make sure you recieve punishment. Understood?"

"Yes, ma'm."

"Good."

Then she shut the door with a smirk on her face.

Female dog.

I groaned and kicked an innocent pebble nearby my foot.

I started walking towards the grocery store with my back hunched down and my face facing my feet gloomily.

One step, two steps, three steps, four, five steps, six steps...

All of a sudden my body slammed into a girl's body. My money flew out of my hands and her handbag slid off her arm and onto the street.

"WATCH IT!"

"Sorry..." My head snapped up to apologize, but damn. She was a freaking goddess.

The girl's auburn hair was in a flowing, long braid to the right of her head that was tied in a red hairband, and she was wearing a red (by the way was Leo's favorite color ;)) simple dress with a matching pair of red sandals. She would be SMOKING if it wasn't for that nasty look on her face.

"Maybe you should watch where you're going next time," she snapped.

"I said I was sorry!"

She glared and walked to her handbag with a sneer on her face. She looked at the contents inside.

"You broke my keychain!" She thrusted a small plastic pink heart and a chain in my face.

"Oh no, not the keychain!" I said with a sarcasm rich in my tone.

She glares as I throw my hands up, "Do you know how sentimental this keychain is to me?"

"Tell me."

"What?"

"Tell me. If it's so valuable to you."

She sniffed in annoyance, "Fine. This is from my boyfriend, well, you know, my ex-boyfriend."

I don't know why, but she broke down into tears as she said the word ex-boyfriend.

I rolled my eyes. Yes, this girl was INDEED on fire, but really? She was crying over her ex while I was getting thrown on the floor daily.

"Don't roll your eyes! I was in love!"

"You'll forget about him and soon, you'll have another fling. Don't worry! You're freaking beautiful. I'm pretty sure you'll get another man to play around with."

She glared picking up the money I had dropped and shoving it to me, "That's the thing. My stupid uncle won't let me 'have another fling'. He keeps paying them to break up with me! He says I'm too young, and that guys were bad, but the only person who's bad is him."

"You're really upset because your uncle won't let you date? Seriously?"

"YES!"

I look at my watch. It's 10:49. Crap.

"Well sunshine, I've gotta run! Thanks for letting me hear your sob story!"

The girl looked at me in complete disbelief as I ran towards the grocery store.

I turn around and I start running backwards. I yell at her, "My name's Leo by the way!"

I turn back around and in a few seconds, I'm in the grocery store.

By the time I finish buying the exact vegetables Teresa wanted, I was in the end of the grocery line, tapping my foot impatiently.

Don't get me wrong, all I had to do was buy some cabbage for her freaking ten guinea pigs, but THE LINE. There was at least 6 PEOPLE IN FRONT.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BUY YOUR GROCERIES TODAY?!

I look at my watch. 10:52. Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap.

Honestly, I don't understand why people need the stuff that they were going to buy.

The lady in front of me had a 'Cat mind Controller', which sounded stupid, considering the fact that the product was only $10.99 and a ripoff.

By, 10:55, there was 2 people in front.

Yes, I've considered going on the other lines, except they all had at least 10 people on the line. Not considering the old man by himself with a thousand kid collectibles in his cart.

By 10:58, the cashier was checking me out and by 10:59, I was out the door.

By 11:04, I was knocking on the door.

"You're late, Leo."

Oh gods, help me please.

A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for reading the first chapter of The Omega Sign! Please review - CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ALLOWED. I would say that this is my first fanfiction, like every single first time fanfiction author, except I'm not a first time author. I just wanted a fresh new start. I used to be 'coolnerd18' and my fanfictions were HORRENDOUS, but now I aged and so has my fanfiction (that sounded SO WEIRD). Please review and follow :).

About the story: Basically, if you read the summary, you know what's going to happen. The ships in this fanfic will be all the CANON ships and Solangelo, because I love them all and I want to kiss all the PJO characters.

Leo's story: In the Blood of Olympus *spoiler* it says Leo was abused by a woman named Teresa. IS NO ONE CONCERNED?! THAT'S TERRIBLE! It's honestly so bad that people aren't concerned, because so far as I know, only ONE fanfic ever talked about it. Seriously?

Well, I guess I'll talk to you guys at the next page!
