In The End Your Always Alone
It was dark outside the stars were shining high in the sky. I was staring at a constellation of a hunter in the sky. I loved the night, I mean I guess it comes natural for me since I and a daughter of Hades. Lately I have been wondering the streets, barely escaping monsters and trying to get away from the house were I had been sold to a year ago. I had finally gotten away and here I find myself not knowing what to do or where to go. So I decided to go to a place I've been wanting to go for years, and of course that place is New York City. I didn't know how I was going to get there but, that's where I would end up I was sure of it. I was drawn to the city, like I needed to go there for some reason. I felt as if, when I got there everything would change, maybe not for the good but for the better, something was going to give me a chance.
I found myself at the train yard, a few hours later. I found a train destined for New York and decided to hop on. That was easier said than done. Men were coming around checking all of the trains with big Saint Bernard. After they were done checking the train I quickly unhitched one of the cars doors and went inside. The rail car was metal with slits so you could see outside. Inside there were rows of brand new cars from what it looked like, I couldn't really tell.
I grabbed the bag that I had packed earlier when nobody was at that terrible house. It was filled with wads of hundred dollar bills, jewels, two changes of clothes, a pair of heels, food, toilettes, all taken from the house. He wouldn't even notice all the things I stole, he has enough. I unzipped the bag and grabbed a bag of chips and started eating them.
Suddenly I saw a bright flash of light and a bag appeared a few feet away from me. I got up and walked cautiously over to the bag. I knelt down and unzipped the bag. Inside was everything anyone could need or want, along with a note in a black envelope. I grabbed the note and opened the envelope and started to read.
Katerina,
Anything you want will appear in the bag. Please use it gratefully.
Love,
Dad
As I finished reading the note I fell into complete shock. I had never met my dad. I didn't think that I would ever meet him. Truth is I resented my dad for never being there for me for letting all these bad things happen to me. Most of the stuff I have not told anyone, and I don't plan on doing so. If I did I would probably be in big trouble. The things that had happened are not taken lightly in the U.S, they are serious and could get me and a lot of people into trouble, making me a disappearing target on my back. The thing is when your young, you think that when you grow up your life will be perfect and for a lot of people they get a pretty good life. But for me its been rough. Getting that letter mad my day but it also broke my day. Why now, I asked myself. Why now, couldn't he had sent just a little help a few years ago and saved me from all of the pain. I am fourteen and I have nobody, no future and a past not worth remembering.
I folded the letter and stuck it in the bag from my dad. I slowly started taking things out of my bag and transferring them to the new bag. On the outside I could hear the wind howling as the train sped past. I could see town lights melted into the backdrop of the earth. I fresh air smell of trees and grass which I had not seen in a long while. In fact I hadn't been outside in a few months. I couldn't come to grasp with the idea that I was finally free for once. Then the sky rumbled as if trying to talk and rain escaped from the clouds above. I started to get cold and a bit wet.
I thought about what the note said and reached into the bag. After a few seconds of feeling nothing I pulled out a rain coat followed by a blanket. I put my bag to the side and pulled the coat and blanket over me. It took me awhile but I slowly fell asleep and found my self dreaming of a the Empire State Building.
Comeā¦come to the Empire State Building and you will find change. A voice whispered in my head. It sounded so sweet and innocent and female. I didn't know what to make of the voice.
You will find family and friends here. And a new life. We have been watching you Katerina, you are a powerful demigod. You will be a valuable asset in the future for all twelve Olympians. You must come to Olympus. The voice whispered in my head again.
"Who are you?" I asked.
I am Hera, goddess of marriage and queen of the Olympians. I am here to help you.
"How do you know me? And why are you watching me?" I asked.
You are a daughter of Hades. Just because none of the other Olympians don't know about you doesn't mean we can't find out. At this time I am the only Olympian that knows about you. I've known about you for some time now. I've been watching over you for your father, to make sure you were safe and well. You are very powerful you have to understand this. And you will play a great role in the future of Olympus.
"Your telling me that my father knew what was happening to me and he didn't do anything!" I started to scream at her.
You have to understand immortals can not interfere with the lives of their offspring . As much as he wanted to help you, he couldn't under law. He feels sorry, unbelievably sorry for what has happened. Then I saw a figure appear, it started to come closer and the person who must have been Hera finished talking. She looked aggravated and distressed, yet concerned at the same time.
I knew that he couldn't interfere but, how could he let that happen to me. I was mad, all I wanted was someone who cared for me. I mean she said he cared for me but I was still mad at him. I knew why he hasn't done anything, I just couldn't understand why I was so mad, I just was. All I could do was try and calm down.
"What do you need me to do?" I asked Hera in a determined voice.
You must come to Olympus, in New York. You have to go to the Empire State Building and ask the concierge for the 600th floor. He will know what you are talking about. Then you must go up to Olympus into the throne room, and we will finally meet. At that point you will meet the other twelve Olympians and your father, and I will give you a quest.
"So I have to go to Olympus, meet the Olympians, meet my father, and get a quest." After I said that my dream came to a halt and I woke up.
I wiped the sleep out of my eyes and stretched my legs. Light was streaming in from the slits in the car and I could see New York City in the distance. It was almost time for me to get off the train. I didn't know how long I was asleep but at least I didn't have to wait long for the train.
About a half an hour later the train reached a halt and I quickly unlatched the rail door and slid out of the car trying not to be seen by anyone. With my backpack in tow, I started running and jumping over train tracks to try and get to the fence of the train yard. Nobody was around so I really didn't have a problem till I got to the fence, it had a curved top and barbed wire on the top. There was no way I was getting over that fence. I had an idea, I pulled my backpack around to my chest. I reached into my bag trying to find a wire cutter. A few seconds later I pulled out wire cutters and started cutting through the fence.
As I finished cutting through the wires I put the wire cutters back in the bag and slung the bag back over my shoulder and headed for the Empire State Building.
About two hours later I found myself standing in front of the Empire State Building, just standing there. I wasn't ready to confront my father, let alone meet him. But I knew that I had to do something. So I started to the front desk of the lobby.
"600th floor please?" I asked him.
He gave me a weary, look then pointed to an open elevator. I walked over to the elevator and stepped inside shaking. I was nervous and scared of all that would change after this day. Would it get worse? Better? I had no idea what was going to happen. Then suddenly the elevator lurched toward the sky and I had to grasp the sides to remain on my feet. My eyes were closed at this point.
As soon as the elevator stopped, I opened my eyes as the doors slid open. I was standing face to face with the most beautiful city in the sky I had ever seen. I stepped out into the city looking it straight in the face. My future was going to change because of this day, I just didn't know what was going to happen.
So that's is for this chapter. Love it? Hate it? Reviews please!
What's going to happen next?
