Zayden Miller- 18 years old
"But why Zayden? Why now?" My little sister, Mira and Liana ask me. "Why can't you just stay? Or why can't we go with you... wherever you're going?"
"It's complicated to explain guys. But... it's not safe here for me like it is for you. Its because of my dad, he's different than yours. Anyway, Mrs. Waterson is ecstatic to adopt you guys. She's always wanted children. You'll be very happy."
"What's ecstatic mean?"
"Oh, never mind." I hold back my tears as well as I can as I walk my little sisters, only 10 and 8, to their new mothers home. I don't want to do this, I've never wanted to do this. Of course, I should have done this ages ago and gone to camp half blood right after mother died. That's what she told me to so. I just couldn't bring myself to give up Mira and Liana. But I'm eighteen now, and life has gotten so dangerous that I just have to go. "Here we are. Isn't this a nice house?" I smile, trying to make then feel at ease. They look at the cozy home, a dog house out front with a dog and a kitten cuddled up sleeping together. Its red brick, looks very sweet. They grin.
"Look! A dog! And a cat!" Mira shouts excitedly. Her gaze turns melancholy, though, when she turns to me. "You're sure you won't stay here with us?"
"I can't Mira. Really, I must go. This will be a wonderful home, you guys will love it here." The door opens and their new mother, a widow in her late fifties, runs out smiling, her arms open, and picks them up, laughing happily.
"Welcome home girls!" They grin and laugh and seem to forget me for a moment. Just a moment. Now I must leave, before they decide to do anything silly, to come alone. I quietly Sprint away, Tears pouring down my face, knowing that whem they turn back I will be gone.
"I love you guys. So, so much." I say quietly, wishing the wind to bring my message to them. Who knows, maybe one of the Gods will bring my message to them. "Okay dad, I'm coming." I say up to the sky. My dad is Hephaestus, so he's less... I guess stuck up than the other god. Maybe he'll even hear me. I pull the hood of my scarlet and black hoody over my dark brown hair and wipe away the tears that had fallen onto my black Carlos with chains. Time to go. I open my backpack and make sure I have everything; my small knife, which, when a button on the handle is pushed, turns into a sword with three blades, the locket that was my mother's, and a book that I read occasionally. I guess that's all I need: my fire abilities are all in my fingers. I can set things on fire easily. Its a blessing... yet a curse. I begin to walk west, the direction of camp half blood. I look at the built in compass on my watch and begin my long journey. Somewhere far away I hear a growl and I pull out my knives, switching it into sword mode. I whistle loudly and the growl gets closer. Might as well just deal with it now. A hellhound jumps from the forest a few feet in front of me and I gasp, staring at the horrible creature. Think, Zayden, think! My battle reflexes kick in and I block myself with my triple blade sword as the hellhound charges at me. One, two, three... bam. I hurl the swords into its stomach and it disappears into dust. My sword clatters to the ground and turns back into a knife. I pick it up and look back one more time in the direction of Mira and Liana's New home. The front is covered, but I can just see the chimney peeking up above other buildings. Bye Mira, bye Liana. I love you. I turn and walk to the west.
