Chapter 1
"I expect better from you Jeannette," says my father throwing down my horrible report card. "You of all people should be good with school".
"May I ask you why?"I ask/scream. "I mean seriously Dad I'm dyslexic, ADHD and I'm a freak and this is the one thing I should be good at".
"Jeanie soon this will all make sense," he responds to my outburst. "The sign will soon come". And with that he walks away.
After this very normal conversation with my Dad I retreat to my bedroom. There I stop and face my self in the mirror. When I did ( as always) my reflection startled me I saw a girl with luscious auburn hair, startling gray eyes and a spray of freckles across my face. Whenever I saw myself in the mirror I always expected to see a freak, but what I see is a beautiful girl staring back at me. This sight makes my eyes tear up.
I sit on the ground and let the a tear trail down my face to keep any more from coming I pull a box from under my bed.
This box was my moms jewelry box, it was given too her by my father when they got married. The box was made of mahogany wood with owls engraved on the sides. In it were a few things I had left of my mother. My dad never talked about her, I don't even know her name.
In the box was a couple of pictures of my mom, three to be exact. The first one was one of my mom and dad outside our apartment. Smiling and laughing. My mom had dark hair that cascaded in curls down her face. My dad looked very handsome with his auburn hair and deep brown eyes. I had her eyes gray and stormy and my dad's hair color auburn. The second on was of my mom reading a book in a comfy chair. The last on, and my personal favorite was a picture of my mom and my dad holding me together, standing near my crib.
Other than the picture there were two bracelets, both cuffs. One was like a pair of wings wrapping around. The other one had grape branches decorating a obsidian band. And below the pictures and bracelets, there were several throwing daggers.
I grab a dagger from the box and threw it at my wall, like I have done a thousand times before. The knife sticks perfectly in one of my already made grooves in the wall. I grab the rest of my daggers and kept throwing them at the wall. When I run out of daggers I threw myself onto my bed and screamed as loud as I could.
All of a sudden I heard a huge crash in the living room and the alarm sounding off . I grab a dagger from the wall and ran out to see two things. The first thing was the giant gaping whole in my apartment wall. The second was the three people standing in the middle of my house. This was incredibly shady too me considering the fact that this was a third-story apartment."You guys better have a legit reason for why your in my apartment or I'll skewer you straight through," I ask with the edge in my voice. The one in the middle with sea green eyes and jet black hair responded, "My name is Percy Jackson, and you and everyone in this building is in grave danger".
