My name is Adriana Matthews, I am 16 years old and have eyes in colors of the sunset. I have long black hair and I am nearly always annoyed of my family.
When my life started to get weird I haven´t even noticed it because it was nothing new for me that anything strange happened.
When I first met my real father I thought he would damn be kidding me!
Who the hell would call himself like a Greece god?
Sure it really was interesting meeting him but I have never believed him until my teacher started becoming strange.
She was always watching me with her creepy little eyes.
Her name? Mrs Most and she was my English teacher.
I am really sure she hated me!
Why I was this sure? There was no time she wasn´t using to make my life like the hell on earth.
Only my mother thought she was the nicest person on this planet.
Everytime she talked to my Mum she told her what a wonderful girl I am...
But she never treated me like such a girl.
Today was such a day where I hated that I have stood up.
When I woke up I knew that it would become a special day but I had no idea how special it would become.
I went into the kitchen where my Mum made breakfast and had a fight with my stepfather.
I never called him anything else but stepfather because he wasn´t worth a name in my opinion.
"By the deities! What are you two arguing about? Does it really is necessary?!", I asked them and shook my head in displeasure.
"Adriana! Why aren´t you on your way to school!" "Because you haven´t woke me up although you promised it!", I growled unhappy at my mother.
I took my bag and throw a hateful glance to my stepfather before leaving the house.
Every morning the same spectacle.
My mother should have searched a better guy after Dad.
Of course a man who was able to compete with a greece god wasn´t even born but hey, better than this would have been easy!
Even a damn pig would have been better than this guy!
Angry I went to school and hoped my teacher had an accident or something else.
I really would have loved it if she wasn´t in school today but of course she was and she was angry like she always was with me..
Why did the world hated me this much?!
I tried to become unseen but Mrs Most was in a very bad mood.
She tortured me with her questions.
"Mrs Most? I really don´t know... Why don´t you ask anybody else? Everybody else seems to know the answer!", I told her in desperation and hid my face in my hands.
"Matthews! After class you´ll stay!", she told me and I sighed sadly.
She really hated me...
"Sure...", I whispered in response and drew a sun on my exercise book.
Normally I would be listening but my senses weren´t concentrated on the lesson anymore.
A man on the window caught my attention because I knew him!
First I really haven´t recognized him but after looking in his eyes it was like being hit by a truck.
"Dad..."
My voice was silent from surprise and he grinned at me.
He pointed at the outside but I had to shook my head.
If I would leave I would be thrown from school without asking for a reason.
"Can´t." I silently performed with my lips and he rolled his eyes.
"Sure you can. You are my daughter, Hon´.", he said in my thoughts and I looked at him in real surprise.
"Can´t." I performed again and looked carefully at Mrs Most.
If she ever sees me talking to a man while her lessons I would be dying for sure...
"Come out.", he ordered and I threw a real bad glance at my Dad who couldn´t care less about this...
Again I shook my head and rolled my eyes myself now.
"Don´t make me come in." "You won´t!", I whispered angry but he only smiled pleased with himself.
"Why aren´t you telling the class what´s so interesting outside?" Mrs Most growled at me and I sighed silently.
Why me?!
"Outside? Well my father just stood there and made himself a fool.", I answered honestly and my class mates chuckled quietly.
"Your father? I thought your father is dead, Adriana.", Mrs Most asked me politely and I sighed again.
"He disappeared right after my birth. It doesn´t mean he is dead.", I explained annoyed.
When the school bell rang all of my class mates run out the room.
Only I had to stay where I was.
Patience wasn´t my strongest side but I really worked on it.
By Styx I swear!
"You know why you are here, don´t you?", she asked me and I looked at her skeptical.
"Why am I?", I asked with my most friendly voice.
Dad was gone again and I didn´t know what he wanted.
Maybe he would tell me later...
Or he would just be disappeared again like he was for 14 years at least...
"You are here because you are a damn child of this sunny boy. Your whole scent is like him.", my teacher said and I jumped on my feet.
Didn´t sound good...
As fast as I could I run to the door, but she was even faster than me.
"You won´t escape, Daughter of Apollo.", she growled and slowly I moved back.
That was so bad...
I really needed a little help...
I never have been a fighter...
"I haven´t done anything to piss you off!", I shouted scared like hell and looked at the windows.
Just a few more steps and I maybe would be fast enough to jump.
Hopefully Dad would have an eye on me...
I really didn´t want to die...
"You are existing. That´s enough.", she said and turned to something I really didn´t want to describe...
She looked like a very big and very ugly bat...
A Fury?! Seriously?!
Are you damn kidding me?!
As fast as possible I turned around and jumped out the window.
I run like hell was after me and well, at least a part of Hades people was...
Why did his Fury follow me?!
I haven´t done anything to piss one of those Gods off!
Couldn´t she track down any other demigod?
Please?
She hit my shoulder and I fall on the ground.
My blood scared me more than I would ever say out loud...
"Dad...", I whimpered scared and closed my eyes knowing I would be dying seconds after...
"Asking for help but don´t listen to what I said... Yes, you are my daughter.", Dad said with a warm voice and I relaxed a little bit.
He stood right in front of me and looked at the Fury with a really dangerous look in his eyes.
"Don´t touch my girl. Go back to Hades and leave her alone!", he said with sharp voice and I looked at the fury who really was moving back.
She looked at me with pure hatred in her eyes before she vanished.
"Dad... I am sorry...", I tried to excuse, but he shook his head.
"Don´t be. Show me your shoulder.", he told me and I did.
It hurt when Dad touched it.
I made a little sound and he sighed.
"if she wouldn´t belong to Hades...", he growled and a golden shine came from him.
When this faded there wasn´t pain anymore.
Surprised I looked at my father who just smiled at me.
"You really need to be a little bit more careful, Hon´.", he said shaking his head and patted my head.
"How could I know that my English teacher is a fury? Dad, why should she come after me?! I am not a child of the Big 3! I am your daughter! So why did she hunt me?!", I wanted to know and Dad looked around.
What was he searching for?
"Don´t forget you are the only daughter I have. You are the first girl since 500 years, Adriana. You are special.", he told me but I war skeptical.
Something was wrong about all this...
"Dad... Why are you so careful about telling me about all this? What´s wrong?" "Don´t worry, Hon´. I´ll take you to the Camp. There you´ll be safe.", he promised and I sighed.
"But Mum..." "Won´t search after you, Dria. You know that your Mum only has eyes for this strange man by her side.", he interrupted me and I looked away.
It hurt more than I expected...
"Why haven´t you been there before? Why now? 2 years ago you suddenly appeared and told me about you! Why?! Why did you leave us? Me?", I asked him sadly.
Tears started flowing down my cheeks.
I hated crying but what else could I do when my whole world broke apart?
"I didn´t want to leave you, Dria, but your Mum told me to. She said you would need a normal childhood. Without deities, monsters and demigods. She has thrown me out of your life but when you turned 14 years old I felt your presence as strong as I felt the presence of the older boys in the camp.", he explained carefully.
Should I really believe him?
"Mum has told me other things..." "Sure she did. She never wanted you to become yourself. Damn, Dria! You are one of the strongest children I ever had! You are nearly as powerful as I am.", he told me seriously and I was now really surprised.
He had to be kidding me.
I never would be as powerful as my Dad was... would I?
"Stop teasing me, Dad. I never will be.", I abruptly said and stepped back.
"I don´t want to scare you, Adriana, but you will be. Maybe you will find out more about yourself than you ever dreamed of."
That all had to be a very bad joke!
I couldn´t!
That really sounded creepy!
He held out his hand, waiting for me grabbing it.
He would not force me to go to the Camp...
"I am scared, Dad...", I admitted honestly and his eyes softened.
"I know, Dria. But you don´t need to be. Come on, I´ll take you to your brothers.", he said with calm voice but he didn´t moved towards me.
It was me taking those steps to close the distance between us.
"Close your eyes.", he asked me to do and I did.
When I opened my eyes again I wasn´t at the school anymore.
"Where are we?", I asked curious and he chuckled.
"Welcome at Camp Half Blood, Adriana. Your new home.", he explained and I looked around with those curious eyes.
