LET THE RIVER RUN.
(  percy jackson and the olympians s1  )

I am my mother's child, I'll love you
'til my breathing stops, I'll love you 'til you
call the cops on me. . .

    KAIA FRANCIS was a forbidden child.

Poseidon's only daughter, only claimed child, the single occupant of Cabin Three. It was a lonely existence, living in a cabin alone and having no-one to relate to. The only forbidden child Kaia knew of was Thalia Grace, a child of Zeus, but she had never quite made to camp. Sure, there were the other cabins filled with demigods, especially Cabin Eleven, but that didn't stop the loneliness from creeping up on her. Nothing ever did.

Kaia Francis had always felt that her existence was lonely, and strange. She would see things other people wouldn't, feel things so intricately. At one point, she thought she was going insane, something else to add to the list of the that Kaia felt she was. She felt as though she had no true purpose, always zoning out and always getting into trouble for things she swore she did not do and couldn't control.

Her mother was the only one who helped her keep her head on straight. Just let the river run, Kaia, her mother always said, don't worry about what others may think of you, life is too short for such a thing. Kaia would find that she'd eventually learn that the hard way.

Her mother gave her life so Kaia could get to Camp Half-blood, safe and sound. That made Kaia felt as though her existence was a crime in itself. She had indirectly taken her mother's life. Her mother had sacrificed herself for her daughter. A life for a life, they said. You want your daughter to live? You'll have to pay the price. And, of course, she did. Her mother left behind her fiancé and two daughters; one biological and one not, but her daughter all the same.

So, in Kaia's carefully chosen words, life kinda sucked.

That is, until a boy by the name of Perseus Jackson stumbles onto Camp Half-blood's grounds and turns Kaia's world on its axis.

Maybe this was a sign, that her life wouldn't be so lonely. Maybe her existence has a purpose after all. But only time could tell. Kaia just has to let the river run.

best, but it is not the exact way that i may
describe them or how i see them. so please,
