tw: child abuse

"It's not Poseidon anymore, Mom, it's just Sei," I told her, but she didn't care. Neither did Dad. After River died, I was their only child that still lived in the house. Hades died before I was born and Kronos moved out a few years ago. River volunteered for the 84th Games and was killed. As the only one left in the house, I was the sole target of their abuse, now. They'd always been abusive people. They hit us, screamed at us, kicked us and locked us in our rooms. Sometimes they wouldn't give us our dinner.

One day, when my parents were out, I finally decided to rat them out. I'd been so scared to do so for so long, but that day, I approached a Peacekeeper. I showed him my bruises and scars. I told him everything that they did to me on a regular basis, and they decided to investigate. A few days later, I was taken out of my parents' custody and given the option of living with my brother or going to an orphanage. I decided to live with my brother.

Kronos respects me more than my parents ever did. More than River did. He got out of the situation when he could, and River always said Kronos abandoned us. He was just saving himself, in my opinion. Once I spoke up, I saved myself, too.
