2 the adoption manager try's to kill me
I see the Ohio in front of me a beautiful river. I have been runner for ever and I need a break. I jump in and feel all the sweat melt away with the water. I love the feeling. I never had water in Kansas but I don't care. I swm for a little bit. Finally I dip under to get the grim out of but dark hair and I hear words. Atlanta, follow the river, follow it too the place you look for.
The voice scares me so I get out fast rushing for breath. It feels good. I take in deep breaths not because I held my breath but because I had a crazy moment. I had just started to convince my self that Kelli broke her arm.
Why was this happening to me. My ADHD just got ADHD and that ADHD just got more ADHD. I couldn't understand why this was happening to me. I decided to take the rivers advice and go with my craziness.
Following the river isn't fun there isn't much to see but I am following it. I have been following it for three days until I see a building. Why there is a building randomly by the river I don't know but I don't care either. I walk up to it. It is gray with some windows. There is a sign on the sign it says, national... Hipdotion...pagncy. I can't read it very well due to my Dyslexia
"National adoption agency." Says a voice behind. I turn around quick my pocket knife in my "Who are you?" "I just work here calm down I saw you from inside," I look at him he has blond hair and looks pretty incident I decide to trust this man. He leads me inside.
It is a building with air conditioning, which feels great when you have been running for months. I breath in the coolness. I walk in to the line of nobody by the have borders to show the line. The man went behind the desk it ends at. I follow the line to the "So what do you need?" "To find out who my real mother is,""Ok..." He says typing things in his computer, "name?" "Atlanta Samers" I know I know. Stranger danger but I wasn't in the mood for smoky the bear's lessons.
He looks and is typing. "So who is it?" I ask so excited to find out. The man doesn't answer so I ask again but this time he just looks up at me staring into my eyes. br"I am sorry but I have to kill you."
Let me say that trying to kill someone doesn't leave a very good first impression. He stood up. I started running for the door but it slammed closed. I tried the other doors but they closed to. The man started walking to me.
I looked really close at him and noticed something odd. He had one eye. Also he was caring a club. It was hard to focus on his eye. It gave me a head ache. He swung his heavy club at me but I ducked. He started getting closer to me. I was nervous I started looking everywhere for something.
I grabbed the line border and started throwing those at him. It just delayed him. Luckily I was fast and he was slow so when he tried to hit me I could roll away. I forgot that my pocket knife was in my hand I quickly rolled under the monsters massive feet and stabbed him in the back.
He cried out in pain. I watched him fall down then disappear into the wind. There was dust there just like Kelli. If she was real if any of this was real. I had no idea. I went to open the door until I forgot to check who my mom was. I went behind the counter and found her name and address. I took some money so I could get a taxi to her house.
Getting a taxi was the hardest thing about this whole adventure. It was even harder to get one that could go to New York City. I found one though after at least four hours. The drive took about five hours I slept most of they way, as you can say I had a long morning.
We finally got there to the address. It was a apartment building. I started to open the door to it when some one stopped me. Some guy that looked like twenty and he had a goatee. I wasn't in the mood to deal with this "You can't go in there, sorry," he says."Listen I have been through more then you can imagine and my mom lives here can I please go in." The guy just looked at me as if I hadn't been through what I just said "Listen," he came forward but had a little limp, "just hold on ok."
"No. My mom that I just found out is my mom because I just found out I am adopted is in there. I also have been through things that only I see and everyone just calls me crazy for seeing my best friend turn into a monster and attack me!" The man just looked at me as if the wheels were turning in his head "Follow me." He said very seriously
"No." I said I didn't want to follow this stranger. "Listen I believe you and I know it's real your different I am taking you some place that is for people like you." He "Oh. So a mental Islam?" "No no not that listen do you have dyslexia and ADHD?"
How did he know? Stalker? Who was this guy? "Who are you?" "Grover, and I want to take you to camp half blood." Camp what? "Fine I will follow but don't try anything!" He smiled "ok but I need to wait for my friend Percy he is talking to his mom." I realized then I had forgotten about finding my mom. "Can I go talk to my mom?"
He look like he was thinking, "yay sure but let me come with you." We walked inside the Lobby. It looked normal I started walking to the elevator when I looked behind me to see Grover taking his pants
"What are you doing!" I watch him take of his pants to see a pair of shaggy brown legs and hoofs. I flipped I has sick of monsters and weird things. I started pressing the elevator button quicker to get going sooner.
Grover noticed I was "Hey it's ok, I am not a monster. Seriously I am not going to hurt you," he was lying I knew it, "it's ok calm down." Finally the elevator opened I ran in side, Grover started coming to but I closed it before he could.
Phew! I hope my mom is normal. I rode the elevator nervous Grover would follow me. I remembered the address by heart and followed to the apartment after I got out of the elevator. I came to the door I heard some people talking but I didn't care about manners right know.
I opened the door to find a boy with messy black hair and green eyes. Also there standing in front of me looking confused was my mom I think. Brown hair blue eyes, a caring face "Is your name Sally Jackson?" I said realizing I was panting "Yes?" She said, the boy was looking confused too. All I managed to say was "Mom?"
