Holly's prov

"bye mom, I love you... I really do." As I got out of my mom's grey Honda pilot I looked her straight into her eyes, hoping and preying that she would believe me. You see today I was putting my plan into action..... I was running away.

"Promise me that if you have any.....issues....with you know what, that you will call your father or me. promise!" I nodded my head which was all I could do without bursting into tears, they cared about me so much and I really did love them and that was the reason I was going away....to protect my family. Lately there had been way to many well I guess I would just call them monsters that showed up and tries to hurt me but it always ended in them hurting my family.

I quickly shut the car door and pretended to head for Sara's front door with my over sized duffel that held all of my most important and valuable belongings. My mom thought I was going to my friend's house for a sleepover..... boy was she wrong. Once my mom's car was out of sight I starting running toward the local gas station that was only a mile or two away.... not to far. Okay just for a bit about me, My name is Holly and I am 13. I live in New York City with my Mom, Dad, younger brother and sister. I am quite short, I have electric blue eyes and jet black hair that went to my waist not to mention that I am extremely pale..... like white pale.

Breathing heavily I slowed into a walk as I thought about which way to head to. Option one.... just let the monsters have me or option two... try to find the guy that owned the name that was scribbled onto the thin slip of paper between my pale fingers Grover Underwood was all it said which wasn't much help to me. but maybe the address would be some help..... you'd think that i would of looked at that first.

Luckily for me it was dark out so taxes were out for the NORMAL people who loved to go party at night and have fun with NO worries at all about dying in the next second....the lucky ones. I raised my hand in the simple hailing gesture but instead of getting a taxi I got a frantic ringing in my bag.

"Sh**" (A/N I don't like cussing so don't expect me too) I quickly started digging through my duffel looking for my cell until my hand bumped cool metal.

"Hello?" I rushed into the phone even though I knew it was my mom... Hello...I do have a thing called caller ID you know....

"Hey sweetie, How is everything going?" I rolled my eyes could she ever leave me alone for like 3 minutes??

"Fine Mom, listen I love you I really do...but we are kinda doing makeovers so I gotta go." Before she could reply I hung up and stuck the phone into my back pocket. I Hailing gesture again and got a cab YAY!!! I climbed into the back seat and handed the driver the address on the card, he looked at me with an annoyed facial expression.

"You can afford this?" I quickly dug through my bag and pulled out the wad of cash that I had 'borrowed' from my dad's secret stash. i smacked an 100 dollar bill into the drivers hand.

"yup, if you get me there fast then you can have the tips." maybe I shouldn't of said that for the next thing he did was slam of the gas petal, this was going to be a long ride....

Once he pulled up by the (believe it or not) a giant hill I got out and muttered my thanks. Before I could take like 2 steps i heard a deep growl. I slowly turned around to see a huge man bull that looked a lot like the minotaur that I had learned about in class. I dropped my bag and started running but was stopped by his huge hand grabbing my wrist and pulled me up. I started kicking and screaming as hard and loud as I could but it didn't help. Suddenly I was airborne and suddenly a sharp pain shot through my head as I hit the big tree, suddenly there were stars. reaching up i touched the back of my head and when i pulled it away there was blood covering my hand. looking up and into the Bull's murderous eyes and screamed as he started charging toward me before i could blink he punched me in the gut and all the wind was knocked out of me. Everything was getting dizzy and fuzzy and I knew that this was the end. Just as he lifted his ax there was a whistling sound followed by an arrow hitting bull square in the chest. With a Angry roar he vanished into air, there were shouts of cheer soon followed by strong arms lifting my up.

"What's your name?" said a sweet whisper in my ear. I pulled what was left of my strength to answer the lovely perfect voice... DID I REALLY JUST THINK THAT!?!?!?

"Holly" I whispered back as everything started to go black. The thing I hear was what I have wanted to hear since the day I was born.

"Well Holly, Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. Trust me you are safe here." Then I blacked out.
