Charity's POV:
Charity: Ahhhhhhhhhh!
I screamed. I was watching my dad's life slowly slip away.
Charity: No daddy! Stay with me! Don't leave me with my little siblings to look after by myself!
I plead. He coughs and looks up at me.
Dad: Don't worry Charity
my dad croaks out
Dad: you'll manage
He is slowly dying. I couldn't do anything! Anything about it.
I held his hand and sobbed as he slowly went away.
Dad: I love you. All of you.
he said, and then he was gone for good.
I wiped away the tears from my eyes and out my brown hair behind my ear. I had two younger siblings that I was supposed to take care of all by myself. A baby boy that was only about a year old. And a little girl that was five.
We never knew our mother. Dad only had one picture of her, but he covered it with a cloth and put it in his room. If we tried to sneak in and take a peak, we'd be punished. I mean six months of grounding. We learned that the hard way.
Charity: Ella! we have to go
I call to my sister. I run into my brother's room to get him. He was sleeping. I picked him up carefully in one arm, and quickly rushed out to get Ella and took her arm with my free one. The only thing I took from my room before leaving. A special mirror that I remember I mom had given to me at birth.
Ella: Where are we going?
Ella asks, still rubbing her eyes from rest. It was only like three a clock in the morning. She was tired.
Charity: I don't know yet
I replied, worriedly. I'll find somewhere. I have to.
We walk out of the door, probably for the last time. And wander down the streets of Long Island.
By around four a clock. We were being chased. Which was very hard because I had two little ones. I don't think I could carry them and run. But the monster was gaining upon us. I saw an entrance of some sort so I was starting to speed there. But Ella tripped.
I pull her up and we almost get there but the monster gains up on us and stops us. We stand in shock and fear.
Charity: Ella
I say trying not to move and alert the monster. She carefully moves her head to look at me.
Charity: Take Dylan and go
I instruct.
Ella: No
She replies
Ella: I'm not leaving you
Charity: You have to
I start to argue.
Ella: no
she replies stubbornly. Crossing her arms.
Charity: if you don't I'll ground you. You can run through to that place for help. I'll distract this thing while you run and thn make a run foot when you and Dylan are safe.
Ella: you wouldn't ground me
I look at her.
Charity: Try me.
She carefully takes Dylan. Then waits for a bit. Then dashes to the gateway. The monster starts to chase after her.
Charity: Monster! Over here!
the monster changed it's position and started coming at me while my sister and brother escaped.
I couldn't think of anything to do. Except... Ooh idea!
I pull out my mirror and whacked the monster. The monster was taken aback, startled, and I ran for it. I made it across to the place, the monster kept coming but when it got to the border, the monster couldn't get in. As if there were a invisible force field.
I take a moment to catch my breath. I see my sister run up to me.
Ella: Charity! You made it!
I nod my head. Someone else comes over. It's a girl, and a half horse man.
Half- Horse man: And who might you be?
Wow that saying is so long time ago.
Charity: I might be Charity.
Ella: I'm Ella and this is our brother Dylan.
half horse man: I'm Chiron and this is Skylar.
He points to the girl. Ok. This day just keeps getting weirder. Invisible force field and a half horse dude? Aye Aye Aye!
Skylar: welcome to Camp-Half blood.
