Hi guys! thanks for clicking my story! I hope you all like it!
Fang: Alessa I think your forgetting something.
Me: ...
Angel: She wants me to tell you that she will not speak with an ignorant male and also what did she forget?
Fang: Hey! I'm not ignorant. Geez and the disclaimer.
Angel: She says all males are ignorant.
Max: What did you expect. She's a Hunter of Artemis nimrod.
Fang: Well sorry for being born with a d-
Max: Fang! Little ears in the room idiot!
Me: My point exactly. I do not own PJO and I'm not saying it again. Now excuse me while I break Fang's arm for putting it around my shoulders.
Alessa's POV/
When I got the call everything in me seemed to break. I was only 16. I shouldn't have to deal with this right? But no matter how much I tried to deny the truth it was still there. He was dead. Cameron was dead. The only boy I had ever loved had left me here alone to deal with it all. He had taken his gun and did the one thing he had talked me out of countless times. He had taken his life and he took my heart to Hades with him. I broke. This was the last straw.
I got the call in the middle of theatre practice and when my Mom told me I couldn't do anything. I completely froze. The phone slipped out of my hand and shattered on the floor and I stood there frozen in shock. I couldn't cry. I couldn't do anything. I didn't want to. I was done. That was it. What was the point anymore? I stood there trying to comprehend everything until my teacher approached me with a worried face. Her mouth moved and I knew she was speaking but I could barely hear her over the roaring in my ears.
"Alessa? Alessa are you alright?" She asked with worry plain on her face. I was shaking by now. I couldn't help it. Its like I had no control over my body anymore. My breathing was short and fast and my entire body shook. All I could do was stare blankly at the broken phone on the ground. Finally I snapped. I whirled around and pushed past my teacher and grabbed my bag. I rushed out the door meaning to run to my truck and go home and try and deal with this but I was stopped by a group of guys.
I nearly screamed in frustration. Why now? Why did this happen to me? I hadn't needed to deal with this since Cameron came along. But Cameron wasn't here to protect me anymore. He never would be again. And the four guys standing in front of me had been waiting for over a year to have their favorite punching bag back. Me. "Where's your little boyfriend Rodriguez? Not here to protect you today is he?" The biggest one asked before punching me in the face. I stumbled backwards and fell on the ground as they surrounded me. Before I could do anything to stop them I was being beaten and kicked and spit on.
But I couldn't bring myself to fight back anymore. I was alone. And it was His fault. Cameron's. He had left me. He knew this would happen. He knew and he left. And I was alone. Again. Just like before. First my father left. Then my mother. Then my brother. Now Cameron. Maybe I should leave. Just stop fighting back. It's not like the world needed me.
I hated him. I hated all of them but I was done fighting. I let the boys beat me. Felt bones breaking. I never screamed. Never cried. I just let it happen. I was sure they would finish me off. Beat me until I was nothing and then leave me here to rot. Its not like my foster mom would care. She only adopted me for the money. But before they could finish they were pulled back. I heard screaming.
"How dare you do such a thing to an innocent maiden? Foul males. What has this young woman done to deserve your wrath? You loathsome little creatures. I shall let my hunters deal with you. Thalia come here. Help me with this girl." A melodic voice said. Even angry it sounded beautiful. I tried to look as the figure of the woman who spoke but it was hard through my swollen eyes. I saw a small figure. A flash of auburn hair. And silver. Lots of silver. And then I saw a flash of black hair with a hint of silver. A girl that looked to be my age came into view.
"My lady. She is horribly wounded. What do you want me to do?" The girl asked. I felt her trying to wipe what I assumed was blood off of my face. I heard the screams of the four boys as who-knows-what was done to them. But I was beyond caring now.
"Thalia. Go ahead. Go to camp and alert them to our arrival. I will follow with the girl. Leave her here with me and go. I need to take care of this maiden. She has deep sorrow in her heart. I must have time alone. I will bring her to camp soon. Go." The voice spoke. I felt the other girl leave me.
"Hunters with me!" She shouted and soon everything was quiet other than the sound of my own labored breathing. My field of vision was covered in silver as the auburn haired girl sat in front of me. I felt her brush hair from my face. A motherly gesture. Something that hadn't ever been done to me.
"Young maiden. You have so much pain in your heart. So much anger and sorrow. What has happened to you?" She cooed softly. Her motherly tone caused the tears I had been holding back to spring foreword and leak from my swollen eyes. I wanted to tell her everything. To cry to her and pour my soul out to her. I felt like she might be as close as I would get to a real mother. I barely knew her but I felt like she would understand.
"He left me." I managed to croak.
"Oh my dear maiden. A man left you in this state? So broken that you were inviting death?" She asked sadly. I nodded and slowly told her of the man I loved leaving me. Knowing how much I needed him and then leaving me to the wolves. How he was my protector and swore he would stand by my side but now he was gone. He wouldn't even let me help him. He was gone and I was alone I told her how my Father had left me and my brother with our mentally unstable mother and then my brother taking off four years ago leaving me with that woman. And how she would beat me and then one night she died in a car accident on her way home from the bar. I had been alone most of my life and I didn't want to deal with it any longer.
When I finished she didn't speak. She calmly held me while I cried. My pains from my wounds were finally crashing down on me and I groaned. "Come young one. We must get you to camp. We will have you healed and then I will speak with you again. I would like to offer you a new family. My family." She said as she picked me up and somehow ran with me in her arms. I couldn't speak anymore. I was slowly losing consciousness as she ran. The last thing I saw was a huge pine tree and a sign written in what looked to be ancient greek and then everything went black.
So I hope you all like the first chappie! I dont have a beta so I'm sorry for gramatical errors. Please give me your honest opinions. I openly accept sonstructive critism and praise but I will call you out if you flame. Have a wonder filled day. :)
