Kristen's P.O.V
"What do you want?" I asked him coldly, turning back to slaughter the dummy a bit more.
"Just wanted to say hello. Not everyday we get a British demigod around here, is it?"
Even his voice sounded like Poseidon's. I wanted to shut him up. I wanted to kill Percy right then and there... but I knew I shouldn't. He hasn't done anything wrong has he?
Sometimes, I wished that he would so something wrong just so I would have an excuse to yell at him, kill him, whichever came first. But no, he had to be all heroic and perfectly loyal to his friends.
Sighing, I turned back around to face him and slumped onto the floor. "Did Sally ever mention another child being born?"
His eyebrows lifted a fraction and I stared at him wondering what he was going to say.
"No I don't think so, Mom would've told me if I had a sister, right? I mean she's not like that. She's kind and caring and wait, how did you know my Moms name?" Percy looked at me carefully and eyed me suspiciously. "If you're new and from Britain how could you possibly know her?"
I looked down at my hands and thought about how I was going to tackle my little problems. "Well... let's just say you're not the first descendant of poseidon because that's me"
He tried to interrupt but I hurried on quickly, " I was born in London and I lived a happy like with Poseidon and Sally until my fourteenth birthday when they left me alone. They took off without explaining, and I was left to pay all the bills, taxes and find food. I wasn't ready for that Percy. I wasn't ready to become an adult yet."
I sighed, rubbing my forehead. "Anyway, the most of my teenage years have been spent working in a bar with Alfie, the bartender who was about 40, I think, and he gave me money in return for a few shifts but all that changed one night. I can never forget that no matter how hard I try."
I didn't want his sympathy and I didn't want to see his reaction so I took off running to the lake. Somehow, the scenery made me feel better, all the green pine trees, and the way the tiny waves lapped agains the sand.
Sitting down in a secluded spot, I began to think that coming here was a mistake. A very big mistake.
I was being irrational and acting on impulse but I had had enough of the late nights and struggling to provide food and clothes and keeping social services away from me and my past.
I had had enough of being the adult and I wanted someone else to care for me, even if it was just for a little while. A little cough made me jump out of my thoughts and I realised I was crying. Wiping my tears away harshly, I turned my head to look at who had rudely burst my own little bubble.
A girl with blonde, curly hair was standing behind me, staring at me with analysing grey eyes.
"Hey, my name's Annabeth, and I'm Percy's girlfriend. I heard what you guys were saying and I saw you run off so I followed you. Are you okay?"
To me that was a stupid question in the entire world. Am I okay? Am I alright? No, I'm broken and slowly rebuilding myself bit by bit.
I must've been looking at her weirdly because she laughed and sat down beside me.
"I'm not going to judge you for what you said you know, I can actually relate to the feeling." Annabeth had her head back and the sun seemed to make her entire body glow a nice tan colour.
Raising my eyebrow, I urged her to continue. "You see, me and my dad weren't on the best of terms. When my Mom left, he remarried to another woman called Helen and she had to kids already, Bobby and Matthew. She couldn't accept that I was a demigod and wanted me out because I attracted too many monsters. To cut a long story short, I ran away from home and I met Thalia, who's a Hunter now, and... Luke." She choked on his name ,like he has caused her a great deal of pain, before she shook her head and smiled. "Everything got better in the end and I'm now really good friends with them both. My point is, everything gets better eventually. It might not seem like it but it does. Trust me."
The conch horn blew which I assumed it meant that tea was ready. I stood up and offered my hand out to Annabeth and pulled her up. Together we walked to the mess hall and I sent a smile her way before heading over to the Poseidon table.
Okay guys so there is chapter two! I'm sorry if its not that great but I'm trying to make the story better and more developed and less basic I guess. But yeah, see you guys next time!
