I'm A Demigod. Wait What?

Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

Bella's POV

My life stinks.

I live in town, which happens to be in California, where it is always rainy and cloudy.

My dad is never home.

When he is, he never notices me! And I happen to be his daughter!

I have a step mom and she absolutely hates me!

My "siblings", technically they are my step siblings, and they hate me as well!

I have never done anything wrong to them!

The school stinks as well.

I love to learn (and read) but I suffer from dyslexia and ADHD.

On top of all that, I am bullied for my love of learning! Not to mention my ADHD.

Oh yeah I'm Bella and I'm 12 years old.

Pretty sad life right?

Yeah well I'm going to change that.

I'm leaving tonight.

I don't know where I'm going, but I can't stand this place anymore!

I packed my few things; food, water, a change of clothes, money, and a pocket knife.

"Good night" I say to everyone one last time.

I eagerly wait for them to go to sleep.

Finally, I sneak out the front door.

I start sprinting until I'm far enough away from my "home".

I start walking.

I stop.

I can hear something rustling behind me.

I turn slowly.

A large creature thing is standing there.

And it's getting closer.

I tried to make out some of the details on it. But, I couldn't.

I just knew it was big, maybe 8 feet tall, and it wanted to kill me.

I start sprinting again.

It's following me!

And now, it's catching up!

I can't grab my pocket knife, it's in the bottom of my bag.

So I find a hammer near a construction work area, on the street. I grab it and keep running.

Why do hammers have to be so heavy?

I turn into an alley way and duck behind and trash can.

It worked! The monster can't see me!

He started to turn around and leave.

Then a mouse shows up next to me and starts to squeak.

The monster keeps going.

The mouse keeps squeaking.

"Be quiet!" I told the mouse in a whisper.

The monster didn't hear me. Thank god!

But, the mouse kept squeaking.

As I tried to reposition my self, I made a slight noise.

The creature turned around and started walking over to me.

It went right in front of me.

Go away! I silently pleaded.

It took a sniff and turned away.

At that moment I jumped out of my hiding place and on to him!

It veered around and tried to shake me off it's back!

I hold on and start hitting it with my hammer.

I kept hitting the monster in the head trying to knock him out.

But instead, he turned into dust.

So I fell to the ground, and landed in monster dust.

"Gross" I said as I started to wipe it off of me.

I stand up, still brushing my self off, and I start to back away from the alley.

Making sure the monster doesn't "come back to life".

I turn and walk out of the alley.

After walking for a while, I found a new alley away from the old one, and I made myself a makeshift bed out of garbage.

I cover myself in it so if anyone comes they won't know I'm there.

I wake up to the shining sun, it's beautiful.

I've never really thought about the sun.

Then I start to think about what happened last night.:

-I ran away

-I got attacked by a 8 foot monster

-I slept in garbage.

Yep, still a step up from my normal life!

I stand up and check myself for wounds.

Just a couple scrapes and scratches.I'll be fine.

I walk out of the alley way, and it opens up into a beautiful park.

I look around there is a playground, a few benches, a garden, and a man playing the guitar.

I have always loved music.

I walk up to him and listen closely.

He is amazing!

I find a dollar in my bag and I put it in his guitar case.

He gave me a tip of the hat and continues playing.

I start backing up from the man, trying not to disturb him.

Then I hit someone.

We both screamed.

Then we both turned around causing us to hit each other's heads.

The other person sank into unconscious.

Then I started to feel dizzy and then I collapsed as well.
