Meeting Him

"Becca-Rose you better be out of bed right now!" Mum calls up the stairs. Groaning I roll out of bed. It was my 16th birthday. I roll over to see a letter on my nightstand. I open it up and read it.

Dear Becca-Rose,

I know you don't know who I am, but you are in danger. I get it sounds like a prank, but you turn 16 today, the day you are claimed. Meet me at the park by your house and I will explain.

Percy Jackson

I reread the letter twice. This had to be a prank right? But I didn't want to take any chances. I guess I'm going to the park today. I throw on a cute bright blue crop top with some ripped jeans. Slipping on my converse and throwing my hair in a bun I head downstairs.

"Go away Dora." I say as soon as I make it out my door.

"Come on Bec, it's your birthday you're sweet 16 and you don't want a party?" Dora wines.

"No, I want to stay home and watch movies with Luns. You only want a party so Remus comes over." I tease.

"Shut up!" she says, pretending to act offendond. Then she pushes me down the stairs.

"Mom! Dora shoved me down the stairs!" I hollar.

"Girls behave!" Dad yells.

I give Dora a dirty look as I walk into the kitchen. I look at the stove. Mom made pancakes with bacon and eggs for breakfast.

"Mom, you didn't have to." I say hugging her.

"Of course I did. It's not everyday my little girl turns 16." Mom says kissing my forehead.

"You didn't do this for me when I turned 16." Dora says.

I stick my tongue out at her and laugh.

"Bec, there is something we need to tell you." Mom says when we are all sitting down.

"Becca, you are adopted. And because it's your 16th birthday, you are going to be claimed." Dad says.

"What does that mean?" I ask.

"Wait, Becca's adopted?" Dora says.

"I have to go." I say racing out of the house. I run to the park. My eyes water up. I can't believe it. I run into a boy. He catches me before I fall. He has brown hair and eyes bluer than the ocean.

"I'm Percy Jackson." He says.

"You're the one who sent the letter." I stated.

"Becca-Rose I assume." A blonde with grey eyes says grabbing Percy's hand.

"Annabeth, calm down. She's my sister." Percy says kissing her forehead.

"And it's Becca." I say.
