Lucy West - A Percy Jackson Story

Reminder to never oversleep again

"Lucy.... Lucy, wake up,you over slept Miss Damson will be here in 5 minutes for inspection."
"Huh,"
"It's half 7 you idiot and there is no way I'm going near your stinky socks.Oh and before you tidy up maybe brush your teeth, I don't think I've ever met someone with worse morning breath."
"Wow Kitty your too kind"

Miss Damson's weekly parade happens in this order
1) She wakes up at 7 walks straight over to the PA system, set up in her room and screams at us children that she will be around in an hour for an inspection.
2) She very quickly eats her dry slice of toast,refuses to turn on the heating, gets dressed and begins to make her rounds 40 minutes earlier then originally said.
3) Luckily for us she starts off in the boys' room, which usually throws her in to such a frenzy it gives us girls at least an extra five minutes to clean our room.(Which is always needed seeing how much of a mess I am)

Unwilling I got up, brushed my teeth, much to my dismay,threw my socks and shirts under my bed and rushed to line up at the door.
"Hello girls"
"Good morning Miss Damson" the 4 of us say in that high-pitched sarcastic tone.
"Anna,go grab me my pen I seemed to have left it in the boy's room".
Anna stormed out leaving only me,Kitty,Ava and Miss Damson.
"Very good girls everything seems to be in order"as she paced around the room.
Just as she was about to leave she turned around swiftly,"Oops, I forgot to check under your beds".
Kitty and Ava's eyes darted to me, fuck, now I'm in for it.
"Oh Lucy this is very disappointing", well that was a tad uneventful.
"Please make your way to my office",
There it is.I don't know why but I always seem to end up in trouble even if it's not my fault.

As I was sitting outside the office waiting for Miss Damson to finish her rounds I realised that it was my mums birthday today,June 2nd, she would of been 37.She passed in a car crash 13 years ago.I was in the car too but by some God forsaking miracle I survived.Thankfully this moment of thought was cut short when Miss Damson called my name to follow her into the office.
"Look Lucy I'm going to be straight with you, you've been hear nearly two years now and you're still having serious problems with adjustment and with our rules here in sederwood, so because of this I've decided to begin the process of getting you into the foster care system.I know you've had experience with foster care in the past and it didn't go great but we just can't afford you anymore.Funding had been seriously decreased and myself along with the department have decided your the best candidate to leave."
"Best candidate?"
"Your 16, your bad at school, your impossible to work with, plus your adth and dyslexia."
"Its ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it's not my fault im hard to work with."
"Luck,Lucy your the best candidate because no one has every been interested in adopting you, all the others have had families come and meet them,they want to be adopted.The second anyone comes here looking for a child to bring into there home you scare them off.The younger kids are always complaining how they don't feel comfortable working with you that you have 'a dark aura' and to be honest I kind of agree with them you make us all feel uncomfortable."
"So to get this straight I'm been sent back to foster care,after you know dam well what they did top me because I have a 'dark aura'. You actually have to be fucking kidding me."
"Lucy I know this is hard but you didn't really expect to be ado.. "
At this point I had completely tuned her out I could feel my heart starting to pound dramatically,my legs began to shake uncontrollably, I could barely breathe I was so angry.
The silence was broken by a glass of water that had smashed on the floor.I haven't realised but the whole room began to shake.Miss Damson kept screaming at me."What's happening what's going on".She was clearly terrified.
The quakes were increasing in intensity and here was me thinking that they were supposed to ease over time.
The door suddenly flung open and there was Anna holding Miss Damson's pen, expect Anna no longer looked like Anna.She was paler than snow, had fangs for teeth was extremely slender and had multiple feet.
"Miss Damson was right Lucy there is a lot of dark aura off you" she said enunciating her Ss."Well it's too bad I'm going to have to kill you you would of made a lovely child of the underworld."
"A what?"
Before Anna was kind enough to answer she jumped forward towards me, fangs showing.In quick slelf defence I grabbed Miss Damson's clipboard and let her eat that instead of my arm.She spat it out.
"What do you not like the taste of getting absolutely humbled".
Maybe I shouldn't have said anything till after I killed her because she seemed to become really riled up after that last comment.
"You stupid little girl, you have no clue what your getting your self into."
Out of nowhere, Anna now had two wings and beagn levitating.
Oh shit
I bolted out of the office straight by the dorms and out onto West 103rd street New York.
I ran as fast as I could to the nearest ally and hid behind some bins.
All of a sudden my mums necklace began to glow a bronze gold colour.I carefully took the necklace off to see that on the back there was a Greek inscription, σκοτάδι , which I could somehow translate to darkness.Anna  must of been must faster than I was because I had already seen her circle the block 5 times in the last 2 minutes,this time to my dismay she noticed the ally and was making her way down whispering I smell you.
What a freak I know my breath is bad but that was unnecessary.In total confusion I read the translation out loud.
"Darkness"
Instantly the necklace began to shift into a sword made out of a pitch black metal.
This is actually mental,what in the world is going on.
Not questioning what was happening I pick up the sword and stood out behind the bins
"Now where did you get that, no matter if will still be easy enough to kill you".
With that Anna pounced torwards me, this time though instead of the clipboard should got a lovely taste of my sword in the back of her throat.She began to dissappear into a gold shimmer,thank God,I really didn't want to deal with the body,how would you explain the wings to the coronor.
I said the words darkness again and the sword returned to its normal form my necklace.
I grabbed my laptop some clothes and whatever little money I had got a subway ticket and made my way to my favourite coffee shop,the only one with free Internet.

Although I don't think I going to find many answers of whatevers going happening on Google.
