I'M GOING TO GET YOU!

I almost caught Conner twice. Well, okay maybe not that many times. But still I almost got him. Then I tripped and landed directly on my face. I could hear Conner laugh behind me."Shut up!" I say and get up. He just laughs harder. I smile and catch up to him. He still laughs, almost hyperventilating. I take a step back and look him up and down. "Are you okay?" I ask him.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine!" He manages to say. I kick his shin and he looks at me, smiling like crazy. He straightens up and wraps his arm around my waist and helps me back in. We didn't change and people were staring at us. We laugh with each other and went to get clean clothes from Chiron.

At the bonfire I was forced to sit with Apollo's cabin. Ugh, it was terrible. Conner sat at the edge of the Hermes cabin seats and I sat at the end of the Apollos cabin seats. We kept whispering to each other as Apollo kids sang around me. I started laughing at a comment Conner said and everyone looked at me. I suddenly stopped and felt insecure about my outfit, a orange tight camp shirt that said Camp Half-blood and skinny jeans with combat boots. My cheeks were turning red.

"I was never here!" I say and dash off. running out of the stands and straight for the big house. I hate being embarrassed! I hate being different! I didn't stop running until I got to my room. I sat down on my bed and thought about life. I hate being the oddball! I hate being the one who everyone hates! I hate, I hate, I hate! That's all I ever do. Hate.

Tears stung my eyes, not today! I thought smiling to myself. I give a short laugh, quick and hoarse. Like there was no laugh at all. Then black crowds my eyes. I'm going into a flash back again. Its a problem I have. I have lots of mental problems.

*Flash back*

I sat on my bed looking outside when the door creaked open. I turned around to see my stepbrother walk in. Oh no! Not him again. I quickly stand up and back away. My back hits the glass window. I'm trapped! He cornered me there. Then he reaches out and yanks my hair. I fall down with the pull. My knees buckle and I go down fully. He laughs and kicks my stomach. My body shudders and I try to get up. He pushes me down, pinning me down. I kick at him and scream for my mom. But she is in Detroit. He grins and laughs at my attempt to call for my mom. I continue to struggle under him. He knocks my head against the floor, darkness floods my vision, but I keep fighting. He pulls me up and bangs my head on the corner of my dresser. I try to stay awake but fade away with his laughing in the background.

*Back to story*

I shiver at this thought and then I get really scared. I want to hide under a desk or something and cry, I was shaking uncontrollably. Conner burst through the door and sees me shaking. His face falls and runs over, putting his arms around me, just to protect me.

I can't hold the tears back anymore, they fall from my eyes and drip down my cheeks. Conner just holds me tighter, I start ugly crying. "Shhhhhh... It's okay, everything is okay. You're safe...shhhhhh" Conner whispers into my hair as he holds me.

When I finally stop crying Conner grabs a box of tissues and hands me some. I wipe away snot and tears, trying to get it together. "Breathe." Conner orders me, I inhale and exhale. In, out, in, out, I tell myself so I can remember to breathe. "Were you crying because you were embarrassed?" Conner asks me.

"No. Memories." I say with a shudder. "Memories about what? Tell me it's not about your stepbrother! Savanah tell me! It can't be about your stepbrother!" He starts shaking me, he obviously hates my stepbrother as you can tell. I look away, which made him stand up and walk away.

I sit in my bed, shocked how Conner just got up and walked away from me. It sort of hurt to see him just walk away. Then Chiron comes in, "The phones for you." he says and walks away. I get up and follow him out the door and down the hallway. We go into a small room with a phone in it. I pick up the phone.

"Hello?" I say into the phone. "Savanah, is that you?" my mom ask from the other end. "Mom! It's me! Where are you and why am I here? I need to go home!" I say quickly. "I'm sorry hun, but you are going to have to stay there. And I thought you knew why. Um, well have you figured out who your dad is?" She asks me, anxious to know the answer. "Nope." I say. "Oh, well..." She is cut off by me, "Look mom I have to go." I say getting ready to hang up. "Okay hun, I love you." She says and hangs up.

"I love you, too" I whisper and hang up, then walk away.

In the morning I wake up breathless again. I'm to tired to get up so I fall back asleep. When I come to again Conner sits next to me on the bed. "Did you wait for me to wake up?" I ask sluggishly. "Maybe." He says with a mischievous smile. "What did you do?" I ask looking around.

Then I look around for my boots. "Give." I say holding out my hand. "Here you go princess." He grins at me holding out my combat boots. I reach out to grab them, but he holds them out of reach. "Don't call me princess!" I say glaring at him as he still holds them out of reach. Princess was my embarrassing child hood nickname. "Sure, princess." I lunge at him.

We wrestle for a minute until I finally get my boots out of his grip. I stand up in triumph. Then Conner tackles me down onto the ground. "Hey!" I shout and we go back to wrestling. I get my boots back again and stand up shouting, "Run away!" running down the hall. Conner has to sprint to catch up, but I'm already outside.
