Ran-away Stories

Nine-year-old Thalia ran away from home with her two-year-old brother Jason. Years later they find themselves back in New York where they met Persephone Jackson. She joins their group to make three. Soon, their group expands to six. They have run-ins with Greeks and Romans, kill monsters and fight Titans. The life of a demigod is never easy, especially when you have six extremely powerful children of the big three in the mortal world. *** Thalia's face darkened slightly "Us?" she said "Well I'm Thalia Grace. I'm eleven years old and I'm the daughter of Zeus. That little boy, there? He's my brother Jason Grace. He's four years old and he's the son of Jupiter. And that little girl over there? She's my cousin Percy Jackson. She five years old and she's the daughter of Poseidon. And us? We are the start of something." If Thalia had only ever been right about one thing in her life, it would be the fact that they were the start of something. Something big.

The things I cherished and loved and those I am unable to forget. __________________________________________________________ This is a one page submission to a short-story contest.

(And I am still VERY unhappy with it :( )
