When Megan was younger, she kept a diary. It kept all her thoughts and secrets. There was nothing traumatizing in her past, but she felt like it needed to be written down, so that one day, she could read it again and laugh at what happened to her. Truth be told, she really wanted to forget her past. She wished it had never happened. Although she could not forget thoroughly, she had it blocked in her mind for so long and so well, she never seems to remember a thing. Now she was peaceful and content with her present life.


Dear Diary,

Today, I talked to daddy, even if he seemed a bit busy. I asked for some money and went to buy a box from a store.

I found a big one and it only cost 50 cents, so I still had enough to buy a pretty wrapper. Daddy isn't so choosy with colors, so I chose "pink". My favorite.

In my room, just a small fraction of our actual house, I settled using Scotch tape and wrapped the box up the way I wanted to. When I gave it to daddy, he smiled and said he'll open it later. I was sad because he was too busy.

The end.


Dear Diary,

School acted weird today. The teacher kept asking me too much questions like "What am I to you?" and "Do you realize what it means to be one of the cursed?". I was too scared and cried in the whole class. Now I'm embarrassed and I don't want to go to that school ever again.

Daddy. Daddy said he'd transfer me to a more accommodating school. I don't know what that means, but it sounded good so I agreed.

The end.


Dear Diary,

Daddy transferred me to a private school. I had to wear a maroon uniform and I don't know anyone there. A blonde boy came up to me and said "Hi. I'm giving you a tour." I cheerfully accepted and he even gave me half of his peanut butter sandwich. I think his name was Jasper. He was such a nice guy.

The strange thing was, when we went to the courtyard, a tall lady clothed in an overcoat came and attacked us. Her skin looked green. Even though she was kind of scary, Jasper asked her "Are you sick? We have a clinic here." I couldn't help but laugh. It made her more angry and she bore her fangs at us. We had to run. She called out to us in Greek. How do I know? I didn't, but it sounded like it.

When we got to the clinic, the nurse diagnosed me and Jasper to have ADHD and dyslexia, whatever that was. Since we were in a private school, they gave us free medicine. It seemed to work, but daddy didn't want me to use it.

I cried at night and daddy was there, he said I was special. The monsters weren't real, and mom would try to get a chance to come back to us.

I love you, daddy.


I saw a picture of my mom. At least, I think it was her. She was with daddy, on a cruise ship, hand in hand. They looked like they really loved each other, so why did she leave?


Dear Diary,

Daddy said I was turning out to look like my mom. Beautiful. Will I ever get to see her?

Jasper and I explored the courtyard a bit more and found scales! What could it be about? He told me to be extra careful, and avoid any unnecessary conclusions. We had to keep safe. We weren't normal. Okay, I cried. I didn't know what he meant. He was there and he waited for me to stop. He asked his mom to buy us some candy. I ended up with a chocolate bar.


Asked dad about mom, he got angry. I ran away, and headed off in the big city on my own. I'm sorry. This is classified as confidential. Thugs and ruffians by the alley. Had to get away. Bad things happened. Dad, I'm so sorry.


Sleepless nights. Tomorrow is my eighth birthday. I went to the library and searched up Dracaena, the thing that chased us in the courtyard. They exist?


Dear Diary,

As I am writing this, I am already 14, and ready to see the world. Dad told me that I was a demigod, whatever that was. I am being sent to this Camp Half-Blood. Jasper will be with me. I'm glad he's my friend. I don't know if I could handle this being alone, so him as a steady shoulder to cry on is definitely a bonus. I will be locking this diary up, and I do not ever want to see it again. It's too painful a past.

For the first time, I saw tears in my dad's eyes. He never wanted me to go to camp, but as I was special, I needed to. He promised my mother. I gave him a hug. So Diary? I'm trusting you to keep whatever I wrote in here a secret. Fight long and hard. Thanks. Goodbye.


A/N: Okay, Megan Glendale's past is not that confusing, and not that traumatizing at all. But when she was younger, she got attacked by a monster when she was with Jasper. He's a childhood friend to her. Don't worry, he's a nice guy. You might be wondering why a Dracaena would attack an Aphrodite child and an Apollo child. Well, I thought it would be simple enough. Two demigods together would be an irresistible scent to monsters, right? Megan's dad worked at a cruise ship as a Crew Manager, but when Megan wrote about him in her diary, he was on vacation from work, though he was still busy. That's why Megan seemed to be an independent soul.

Well, Megan's diary is still locked up, and in the future, it won't be mentioned again because this is the only part of the story where we ever talk about it. t might not be so important right now, but it will have an effect in the later part of the story. Clue: she drank some medicines for ADHD. Will this have some effect to her battle senses? Yes, yes it does. Even Jasper will be affected, but not much. They both trained, anyway. They're both better fighters than Vivi, that's for sure.
