Once Upon A Time

Short prologue to my second story. I couldn't help but write it down when I had the plot and characters all set in my head already. Enjoy the first chapter :-)

Chapter 1: Welcome to Annabeth's Life

Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after. Pah! Happily ever after? Couldn't the author make the ending more morbid, like Cinderella and the prince both got killed at their wedding, or maybe Cinderella and the prince lived not so happily ever after? At least it will make me feel better. I've been living under my step mother's brutal care for too long. I have a bunch of rules to follow, including coming home from school right after school ends, washing the dishes every day, cleaning the floor, doing the laundry, well I could go on forever. And my punishment for not doing those things? Well, my step mother slaps me. She hits me carefully though, choosing places that people won't notice. High school pretty much sucked for me too. I got bullied and teased for being the nerd and the only friends I have are Thalia and Katie. Silena and Piper had to move so I never saw them again. Yeah, as you can see, my life isn't anywhere like heaven.

I loved reading though. The stories suck me into their world, washing all my pain and worries away as I follow the characters on to their adventure, leading me to unknown places, where there are princes, thieves, dragons, fairies and the hero of the story. I wonder if a hero will ever come and save me from this horrible life. Even reading won't help me though. I'm born with dyslexia and ADHD, so whenever I'm angry, the words just seem to prance around the pages. ADHD makes me all fidgety and I can't stop moving. So I'm basically a living freak in other words. Oh when will a knight in shining armor come and save me from all my troubles? The answer: never.

It's going to be POV's for this story. If you want me to switch into someone else's POV just leave a comment about it. Happy Easter!
