I do not own Percy Jackson
:-:-:-:
Thalia held a knife to her chest. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. She thought she had nothing. She ran, ran all the way from Los Angeles and found herself in a place called Liverpool. Reading the newspapers it was August 20th. Thalia has been running around for over a month and she has no idea where to go.
She always prayed to her father and got no answer.
So there she was. About to plunge a knife she found a little while back into her heart to end her life. She felt no one cared for her, and had a pretty good reason. Her mother, Jasmine Grace, was an alcoholic and she abused drugs. All she did was smoke, sleep with random guys (Thalia was surprised she didn't have a little brother or sister sooner) and beat her. She had the scars to prove it. She even prayed to her father to help her when her mother was throwing empty bottles at her. Nothing.
When she finally had happiness it was ripped away by her devil-of-a-mother when she gave her little brother Jason away to a baby-killing goddess.
The knife trembled in her hand. She took a deep breath and plunged the knife in her heart.
At least, that was the plan. Millimetres away from her chest a new hand gripped the handle. The hand pulled the knife away from her grasp. "Give it back!" She screamed at the person.
"No!" The figure said. Thalia looked up to see a blonde boy with piercing blue eyes staring down at her. She growled and jumped for the blade, but the boy was quick. He moved it out of the way and she fell on the ground. The boy looked at her with a look of pity.
"Calm down first." He said, smiling at her. "My name is Luke. Luke Castellan. You?"
Thalia looked up. Her tears stopped flowing. She looked at the ground. "Thalia Grace."
Luke offered her a hand and she took it. He pulled her to her feet and helped brush the dirt off Thalia's clothes. "Why are you in the middle of a forest?" She asked.
"Well I ran away from home years ago." He grimaced. "When I was nine to be exact. I travelled around a lot. Ended up here yesterday."
"How old are you now?"
"Twelve, going on thirteen soon."
Thalia nodded. "I'm ten."
Luke made a face. "You're trying to kill yourself at ten? Rough life?" Thalia wanted to laugh. A rough life was an understatement. Luke saw her face and sighed, but then flashed her a smile. "Wanna come along with me? I don't mind!"
The daughter of Zeus hesitated at first, but smiled back at him. "Sure."
