When Stars Fall from the Sky

Falling Stars
Today is my fourteenth birthday.

My birthdays weren't really fancy. In fact, today is just a plain day for me, as if nobody's turning fourteen this very day.

First things first, though. I'm Charlie. Charlie Gray, daughter of Athena. My father was missing somewhere in San Francisco, but let's not talk about that. Instead, let's talk about what was in the mail today.

A gift. From Olympus.

I opened it. It was a pair of safety scissors with the handles painted green with stickers of Lil' Monsters.
