nowhere I'd rather be

Today started off so well, I had done as I always did when my mom got pissed. I went to the beach, the one place I wasn't allowed to be at. I was careful though, I always had an eye out for her, because last time she found out I was at the beach she nearly ripped my eyes out. I even have the scars to prove it.

As I said today was going good, I was floating in the water when all of a sudden a shark swam right up next to me. Scared I tentatively started to swim away when I heard, well felt rather, words starting to creep into my head.

 "Hello there young prince I have a message from your father"

Before he could even finsh what he was saying, somebody yelled for me to be careful as lightning struck the shark in the side narrowly missing me! Turning around I saw two people, a short girl with spiky hair and a boy with sandy blonde hair looking at me with concern before turning his attention towards his companion, scolding her for recklessness. 

Walking over to talk to them I felt like what the shark was trying to tell me was important. I Mean a message from my dad wasn't he dead? While I was thinking I had wandered closer to the people who I guess saved me?  Looking up at the boy with the sandy hair I felt like I should thank them for helping or at least trying to help. So I mustered up the courage but before i could say anything the boy scrathced the back of his head and said.

"I guess we should introduce ourselves, my name is luke, and hers is thalia. what's yours?"

"Oh my name is daveon but you can call me day. If you want." I answered

"Ok then day what happened to your face how did you get those scars?", said luke

Unsure of what to say I looked away for a minute until Luke asked in a soft voice if I had a family or somebody that I lived with.

Thinking about it I decided that I would never go back to my mothers house again.

For a while we were doing fine. Luke taught me how to fight monsters, how to beat up people who tried to take me away from my family and it was all going good until it wasn't. Monster attacks were becoming more and more frequent, as well as a lot more aggressive. They had already destroyed two of the five safe houses. 

Though one night while it was my shift to make sure no monsters broke the doors down I had a sneaking suspicion someone was watching me. A suspicion that was confirmed by a punch in the gut and a kick in the face, which caused me to scream in pain and roll around trying to protect myself. Before I was able to land a hit, Luke came around the corner with a sword, in his pajamas only to stop running and to double over laughing confusing the little demon on top of me enough  to stop assaulting me. Also allowing me enough time to stand up and throw the tiny assailant at luke, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

While Luke and the little girl were talking, I barricaded the door and sat on the floor to heal a little bit before walking into the other room in time to hear her name, Annabeth. After a while of sitting Luke called me over to ask me something as i drew closer I asked 

"What is it you wanted to talk to me about Luke" 

Looking up from the paper he was holding he gestured me closer before asking me what I felt about Annabeth staying with us. Looking at him incredulously I was actually dumbfounded. 

"You want a little kid to be traveling with us really luke? You are going to let your big brother attitude interfere with your decision making ability?"

To which he responded quite angrily.

"Day that little girl kicked your ass all the way to hades and back. I think she can take care of herself don't you?"

To be honest that stung a lot more than it should have so I said with as much venom I could muster 

"Oh yeah if I was taking that fight seriously I would have gutted her,  maybe it still isn't too late for that option after all."

Luke looked at me in disgust while shaking his head, but that wasn't the worst thing because i heard a faint sound from behind me, when i turned to look I was able to see Annabeth as she ran into one of the rooms and slammed the door.

Feeling bad for my sudden outburst I looked to Thalia for help but she just ignored me until she left the room, the same thing happened with Luke nothing but disgust and silence. feeling depressed I stayed behind while they went to a warehouse for supplies.
