I look around the Athena cabin. Its a little messy but it's not dirty clothes or weapons all over the place. No it has building models, white boards, work tables, and a lot of papers every where.

"Maddie, go find the others and tell them to high tail it over here, now," Annabeth says. I run out the door and start rounding up the other Athena campers. As I get close to the volleyball pit, I run right into a guy that looks my age. I try to get back on my feet but I can't. I look down at my right leg and see that the impact broke my leg brace, which helps me walk around.

"I'm so sorry. Are you OK?" the guy asks and I shove his hand away. It brushes the metal brace. He stops and rolls up my right pants leg up to reveal the destroyed brace.

"Get away from me," I shout at him. I try to stand but I fall again. I can feel tears start to roll down my cheeks. After all I had lived through, to be laughed at now, hurt.

The tears keep poring down my face until I see Emma Heap walking over here and she has a baby on her hip. My jaw drops.

"Tim, you might want to leave. Here take Mary ,too. I need my hands free," she says, handing the baby to the guy, Tim, and kneeing down next to me.

"Wait, what's going on? I know you're Emma Heap, but you don't have any kids last time I checked," I say as Emma looks at the busted leg brace.

"I got married last year, and I have twins," Emma says as she pops the main piece back into place.

"Just to let you know, You're my role model," I say in a rush. I'm about to say it again but she helps me up.

"I'm honored. Yeah I can understand people when they talk really fast. Trust me, never give Dick or Damian coffee, ever,"She says laughing. I have no clue what she's talking about. I head towards my cabin and walk inside. I walk over to a mirror and stare at my reflection.

My lips are bright red, my skin is very pale, and blonde hair that seems to always be in the way. I have a few small scars, mostly from running away from pretty much everything. I sit down and take a look at my leg brace and think about how I got it.

(Flashback)

"Daddy look I can fly," Me as a 5 year tells my dad.

I then jump off the roof and try to land on the mat that is spreed out. I miss and hit the ground hard. My dad runs over and picks me off the ground as tears run down my face.

Later that week, I over heard my dad talking to the doctor.

"You mean, she'll have to wear a brace for the rest of her life?" My dad asks.

"Sadly, yes, she will," The doctor says. I limp into the room. My dad picks me, calms me, and tells me everything will be OK.

My life became a nightmare at school. All the kids made fun of me and would beat me up. 

Then I lost the only family I had left, my dad. I was all alone.

(Flashback ends)

Fresh tears run down my checks, and I put my hand on the one thing I have left of my dad. Wait, its not around my neck. I start looking every where for it, but I can't find my necklace.

"Knock Knock," A voice says.

"Come in," I say back, still looking for my necklace.

"I believe this is your's," Tim from earlier says and puts my necklace back around my neck. I feel the cold metal circle ageist the skin of my throat. I smile at the comfort at its touch. 

"Thank you so much," I says as I throw my arms around his neck and our lips meet. Our lips brushed each others and made me want more.

'Hold on tiger, you just met this guy. You need to take it slow,' I think to myself as I pull away and my cheeks go red. Tim's are a pale pink that makes me laugh.
