This is kind of just a fic i wrote a few months ago. Definitely not my best work(heck it's not even good!). Anyway...
I winced as I felt another blow to my stomach.. whoa, that's no way for an introduction. I am Alexis Milo. Another case of those abused children you hear about.
I winced again as I felt hunter' whip against my bare back. My skin had stripes of red marks against them, but I had gotten used to this.
" Hey punk, I got a call from your teacher. Said you weren't attentive and couldn't read what was written on the board. She said to get you checked at a hospital. She doesn't know what an idiot you are right? Right?" He slurred bringing his mouth close to my ears. I could smell the beer in his breath and inwardly gagged. So that's the reason for today's punishment, I thought. "Well, I am dyslexic and ADHD, in case you forgot." I replied sarcastically. Oh shit. Why did I do that? "What did you say punk?" Hunter's voice was barely a whisper. "Nothing." I quickly replied gulping. But it was too late. Hunter turned me over. He grabbed the empty beer bottle beside him and threw it at me. The glass hit me and blood started oozing out. I felt nauseous. That was one of the reasons Hunter preferred glass bottles to aluminium cans. He continued doing this till at least 12 bottles were reduced to shards. I was ready to drop down by now. Then he took his knife and inscribed letters. I already knew what they were, always the same- HUNTER'S PROPERTY. I heard a blood curdling scream, probably my own. Then I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was still half naked, covered with blood. Luckily, my hands were freed. I shakily got up. I had to get ready for school. It must have been, what, 7:05?
--timeskip to school--
I got to school and suddenly felt someone engulfing me in a hug. It was Clara, my bestie. " Where have you been? You were absent for nearly a week!" It was true. Hunter had beat me very hard and I couldn't even move. "Here and there." I lied. She didn't look convinced at all, but didn't press for which I was grateful. The rest of the day was same; it sucked. I was ready to go home to face Hunter once again at the end of the day. I had steeled my nerves when Clara approached me." You know you don't have to live with that swine. You can always live somewhere else, where your parent has made a ... cabin, for you." She said with vemon in her words and bounded off. I stood still. How did she know? I was confused but honestly, I would follow anyone who saved me from Hunter. I ran after her. " Clara! Clara!" I shouted. She stopped. "Please, where should I go.", I begged. Normally, I would have thought this out. But now I was too miserable to even think rationally. She gave a sort of sad smile like she knew something that I didn't. "Camp half blood. Here is the address." She said pressing a card in my hand." Pack your bags and come with me. I will take you there." I nodded still not completely processing what the heck was going on. I was ready to just forget everything and go to this heaven.
--timeskip to 2 days--
I am a demigod. Hunter had tried to beat me again but I knocked him out with a lamp before that. I had quickly packed all my little belongings to get away from my stepfather. I never looked back. And now, I'm glad. I'm a child of Demeter. The best thing was that Clara can meet me too. She is a hunter of Artemis. I am still quite bewildered about me being half godly, but I sure as heck don't mind.
