Race For Your Life to Camp Half Blood

I run as fast as I can trying to escape this fury that's following me. I wasn't sure why it was chasing me all I knew was that it was trying to kill me. I threw a rock at it hitting one of its big leathery wings and knocking it out of flight. Ha! Take that I say. I keep running sure that it would be on me again any second and then I come across a sign that strangely I can read I had been dyslexic all my life and was surprised that I could read it. Camp Half Blood I read aloud I ran inside the gate hoping I could find some shelter.

I'm looking around when a force runs into me. I land on the ground with a thud "Ow," I say, rubbing my leg. "Are you okay?" I ask the stranger.

I'm sorry, yes I'm okay I say gasping for air. A big bat lady was just chasing after me. One second she looked like a normal person and then the next she grew leathery wings and started chasing me. I tell her. I hoped she would help me.

"You ran into a Fur- a Kindly One?" I gasp.

A what? I ask. What's a kindly one? Whatever that thing was it was anything but kind. I ask because I had never heard of that phrase before

I sigh, newcomer. "Okay, you know all those myths about Greek gods? Well, they're not myths."

"They come down to Earth and.......Fall in love with mortals, the proper name for their offspring is a demigod, that's what almost everyone here is."

So wait, are you saying that the gods like Zeus Poseidon and Hades are real? That's impossible. I say. How could this girl be right, however strange things did seem to happen to me a lot before that kindly one thing happened one time I saw a dead animal open its eye and then close it again. I was totally grossed out by that.

"No it's quiet possible," I say, this girl was keeping ny mind busy so I wouldn't be thinking about Alex.

So does that mean that I'm a demigoddess. But my mom isn't a goddess and my dad, well, I don't know who my dad is. I don't remember ever seeing him before. I tell her. I feel that I can trust her.

"Your dad is a god, want proof? 1) You couldn't've passed through that archway if you weren't.
2) You have dylexia, the words float off the page, that's because your brain is haywired for ancient
greek, not english and 3) You have ADHD right? That's your battle reflex skills, it'll keep you alive in battle. You've also been kicked out of a lot of schools right?"

Yeah no matter how hard I try to stay in a school something always comes up that they kick me out for. It's quite annoying really. And you're right about the ADHD and dyslexia thing. I also think I've been going crazy because I keep hearing this guy's voice in my head at certain times but I don't know who he is. I tell her.

"That would be you're father," I say.

So I'm not completely crazy? I've been worried about that ever since I was 5 by the way I'm 10 now. So that would be 5 years. These monsters are somehow able to find me. Also I had this dream last night before I went to school that I was in this fiery area and it was really dark. Then I guess my father or someone said that it was my home and that I would one day help to bring a noble person out of there and back to life but that's not normal in the least is it? I ask.

I nod, "Kinda only if your dad is......Hades." I say, not being able to belive it. The only time any child of Hades was here was with Nico and Bionca Di Angelo.

Hades? You mean the god of the underworld? That would explain why I once saw a dead animal wink at me. I tell her surprised.

"Great, and nobody will stare." I mutter, "C'mon, let's go find Chirion."

Wait you mean the Chiron who was a child of Kronos? Is he nice? I ask knowing full well that Kronos was a really bad titan that you didn't want to mess with unless you had a death wish.

"Yep," I say, sighing.

What's wrong? I ask sensing that something was wrong by the way she sighed. It wasn't a good sigh it sounded like I'd touched upon something sad.

"Nothing you need to worry about," I say, forcing a very unconvincing smile.

C'mon maybe I can help I say, hoping she would tell me what was bothering her so I could see if I could help.

"My boyfriend, Alex, was recently killed by Kronos," I say fast, hoping that that would make it less uncomfertable.......It didn't.

I'm so sorry. I say covering my mouth with my hand. I couldn't believe I had just forced that out of her. However, if everything you say is true about me being a daughter of Hades maybe I can help with that. I tell her hopefully.

I shrug, "Maybe, but you need to train first."
