The Thief and the Horse

Well if you want to read this story for sweet non troubled romance. Well then read Cinderella and don't read this little story, but if you want to read about a heroine's romance and troubles well you've come to the right place.

My best day of my life is when a monster attacked my class. I have had a normal day till math. It started out the same as every day. I woke up from the floor, a sleeping bag is my bed, and told Calla Lily (or Callie for short) it was time to wake up and get ready for school. My sister is completely different from me. She has short wavy light brown hair with cream highlights in it. While mine had long waist length black hair and it had teal highlights in it (not natural of course). She had dark brown eyes while I had teal eyes. My teal eyes were about the only thing I liked about appearance. I wasn't ugly but I wasn't breath takingly beautiful either. Normal appearance and not that normal girl and this were before I knew I was a demigod.

I made sure she was awake and wouldn't fall back asleep, then I got up and did my chores which was way too long for an average person to finish and it is way too long to list, so let's just say what I wasn't asked to do : Breathe, eat, and sleep.

After that it was 7:00 and I had to make breakfast for little miss princess and Callie. So I went to the kitchen and made some scrambled eggs. As I was mixing the eggs together, Callie came down and wanted to help. Despite our disgusting family, Callie and I were raised well. Our mom died giving birth to Callie and no matter how hard I try I can't remember her , I can only remember our nanny : Kelli she raised me and then she left when I was ten and Callie was five. Now my real father was ugh somewhere out there probably seducing other women. The thing is Callie, Bella and I aren't completely related we all had different dads but yet we still acted as family well at least Callie and I did. Bella was always out somewhere being the annoying older sister she is. Two years older than me and wow you are an adult.

Now a lot of you are wondering right now, how do I have a step mom when my mom died and we all had different dads? Well honestly I don't know she just raised us (or that's what she calls it; I call it abusement) after I reached Bella can remember mother. But whenever I try to ask her about her it doesn't go well. I think Bella secretly misses my mom. And when she died I think she blamed Callie but she didn't like me because I took Callie's side and said it wasn't her fault. When the princess finally came down and gobbled the last of my scrambled eggs and I grabbed an apple because Bella took my plate when I went wash my hands.

Callie and I had to run to the bus stop, while Bella had a car which she refused to let us ride on. Some sister huh? I didn't mind it meant I got Callie all to myself. Callie was the only one who loved me and I loved her back. Callie went to Oakland Elementary which meant we didn't go to the same school but I insisted to the bus driver: Jack (he lets us call him by his first name), that I would make sure Callie gets to school every day. After I threatened to take the case to court the school let Callie go on the High Schooler's bus and dropped her off and I could see she went in the school safe and sound.

Callie always held on to my hand and I always protected her. I think she is scared from the other high schoolers. I hate that I couldn't just keep them away from her. Callie has been asking me things that high schoolers have been saying and it's hard to avoid all of those new words she is learning.

The bus stopped at the elementary school. Callie hugged me good bye and kissed me on the cheek. I watched her leave from the window and saw that she had made it safely in the school. I was feeling much better now. I always felt that Callie needed me and I needed her. I couldn't take it if something bad happened to her.

The bus continued to Oakland High school, where the day started to go down.

"Hey" someone sat down next to me.

I looked up and saw it was Hunter Mills (Hottest guy in the school) so why was he sitting next to me? Was he here to make fun of me or something?

I had to admit he was cute. He had amber eyes the color of honey but a bit darker. And orangish hazel colored hair light on the bottom and dark on the top. He had a friendly look on his face but his eyes showed mischief lots and lots of mischief.

"Um hi?" (Ok not a great response but what would you say if a cute guy plopped next to you and you barely know him and he said hi?)

"So how was your weekend?" he asked as though we've been friends for years.

"It was boring?" I was still pretty confused, why was he acting civil with me. Everyone in the sophomore year does.

"Yeah mine too." He looked around. Then he turned serious. "Look we need to talk, I know you may find this hard to believe but you are a-"the bus jerked and Hunter went tumbling out of the seat and flat on the floor.

"Hey you ok?"

He replied "Yeah my face is on the floor no one's doing anything to help. I am fine."

"Oh ok then" I turned back and watched the trees and finally our school appeared on the sight I was glad to get out of that wretched bus. This is the last time, I am ever going to use that bus, but I didn't know it at the time… In fact it was going to be a long time until I ever saw a school bus again.
