(AN: I wrote this when I was twelve, apologies for how bad it Is. I haven't edited anything, just read it through. It's based loosely off of Greek mythology, but it's not a pjo fanfic. I do have a terrible pjo fanfic from when I was 12, but this is not it. I'm so terribly sorry that you have made the unfortunate decision to read this, but now I'll let you get on with the story so that you see what I mean.)
"Hey, sweet. Why don't we ditch this joint and go someplace private." Some drunken creepy guy slurred. I'm at the counter in a restaurant wearing a black crop top with a leather jacket and a short black skirt with fishnets and combat boots, and my naturally fiery red hair was in a braided bun. "Do I look like I care about you? Go back to watching football cause it's not happening." I said sassily. I walked away from him and and met my friend Liam at the the door of the restaurant. "Can we leave now? Some guy was just hitting on me and it was gross." I shuddered. "You sure he was hitting on you, shortie?" Liam asked. "I am not short!" I exclaimed. "you're 16 and you're only five foot. You're short." Liam proclaimed. " we weren't even talking about my height originally! Can we please just leave now?" "Sure, shortie. Anything for my shortest friend."
"I will murder you in your sleep!"
"I'd like to see you try, shortie"
"Why did I even say anything?"
"Because you were desperate to leave, shortie." Liam said as we finally walked out of the bar. " How about we head to your house now, kay?" I asked Liam. He didn't respond. I turned around and he wasn't there. "Liam?" I yelled. I spun around slowly and I couldn't see him. "Liam!" I called out. No response.
"Liam, where are you?" I yelled again. Still, no response. "You looking for someone, sweetheart?" A tall man said. He had black hair and brown eyes. I'd say he's a foot taller than me, and maybe six years older than me.He was wearing all black, down to his shoes.
"Yes, my friend Liam. He was here a second ago. I'm not sure where he is. " I said. The guy kind of scared me, but I didn't say anything. " Couldn't you just call him?" The man asked. "I don't have a phone." I said. But then, twelve years of inside jokes came back to me. If I yelled one, he would usually respond. One of our inside jokes was from our favorite musical, Hamilton. The inside joke was just a song lyric. But if I yelled part of it out, Liam would yell out the other part. " YOUR WIFE NEEDS YOU ALIVE, SON I NEED YOU ALIVE!" I yelled. The tall guy looked at me weirdly. So I just said, "Wait for it..."
"CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME!"
I heard Liam yell. "Found him." I said. "Thank you for your help, I should be going now though."
"What a peculiar way of finding each other." The tall man said. "Yes, I suppose it is. Now I really must be going." I said. I went in the general direction of Liam's voice until he finally came into view. "Hey, Adira. Where were you?" Liam asked. "Where was I? You're the one who disappeared." I said. In order to get to Liam's car, we had to walk through a dark alleyway. I didn't like it, but it was the fastest way, as far as we were concerned. " Another guy was hitting on me when you were gone." I joked. Liam didn't say anything. "Again Liam? This isn't funny!" I turned around, but he was gone again. "Seriously, Liam. Get your ass back out here or I'm leaving without you!" I yelled. Something didn't feel right. Then I turned around. I was looking dead into someone's eyes when I turned around. And they weren't Liam's. They were Hendrick's. He rushed towards me and I ducked. He clamped a cloth over my mouth. Chloroforme. I held my breath, then shoved my head up straight into his chin. His grip loosened on my mouth, so I elbowed his rib cage then shoved his hand away. I took a quick breath then turned around so he couldn't catch me by surprise. He grabbed my shoulders, turned me around and then put me in a choke hold. I elbowed him again, jumped as high as I could so i would hit his head again. I turned around, and roundhouse kicked him in the face, and he swept my feet out from under me with his foot. He held the chloroforme over my mouth. Since I was pinned down on the ground, I wasn't able to fight back any other way. The chloroforme was starting to take effect. I looked up one more time, then everything went black.
