Luke is about 9. Luke's POV.
I am finally doing it. I've been prepping for months, planing everything. I am finally running away. You probably think I'm crazy. I probably am. At least I'm not as bad as my Mom. She's a mess. She has these fits, and I never know what to do. My Dad never told me. Cause he's just as bad. I look at Mom, asleep on the couch.
"Good bye. See you never." I tell her sleeping form. No more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with Kool Aid. Or burnt to a crisp cookies.
"Luke." A voice says in my mind. I bite back a scream. The last thing I need is Mom waking up, fussing over me, and keeling over, going into one of her... things.
"Who are you? And why are you in my head?" I say, slightly panicked. Maybe I really am going crazy. Is it a genetic trait?
"I am Hermes, god of merchants, thieves and a whole bunch of other stuff." He says.
"Ok? I'm not a thief or a salesperson or anything so why are you in my head? Are you some kind of vision? Or a figment of my imagination?" I ask. I want Hermes to be gone, so I can continue my plan.
"No, I am your father." Hermes says, then pauses, almost awkwardly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make a Star Wars reference. But I am your father." A boiling anger begins in the pit of my stomach. I think I'm shaking.
"Get out of my head." I say barely above a whisper. Silence. Louder, again I say, "Get out of my head!"
"You have every right to be angry, just not at your mother. It's my fault, that's she's like this." Hermes says.
"Then make her normal! Everyone gets normal moms, who don't turn into freaks because their normal!" The rage is turning into something else.
"If only I could. If I do, Zeus will not only punish me, but also you and my other children." He says.
"Then why show up now? Go back to ignoring me, cause I'm so outta here." I tell him. Hatred. That what this feeling is.
"Luke..." He starts but I cut him off.
"Goodbye." I tell him. I turn, and march past all the weird bean bags in our yard. Past the tree that I fell out of last week. Past the drive way, where I ride my bike to school every day.
"Luke?" I hear a voice inside. I break into a sprint. "Luke! Where are you? Your lunch is ready!"
