I would just like to say I own nothing. Everyone you don't recognize is mine.

Dani POV

My name is Dani Mader. I was sitting in my room 'studying' when I heard voices outside. It was later in the evening and my family was asleep.

"Be quiet, you guys, you'll wake her up!'' A guy's voice said

I was scared, I ran to my closet and picked a katana of of my weapons rack on the back wall, behind my clothes. You see, my mom always wanted me to be ready for anything and everything. So, I took martial arts class starting at age six. The weird thing was, every weapon I had was made of this shimmering bronze metal.

Again I heard voices.

''Then, Leo if we are going to wake her up, then why is the light on?'' This time a girl's voice

I waited a few moments before padding over and turning off the light. I then went to my bed and sat down. I took the sheath of the katana and placed it on the left side of my crisscrossed legs. Right in front of me I placed the katana. Then I just sat there staring at the window.

Only moments later I heard the shrill whistle of rope flying threw the air. Thunk. I heard metal hitting metal. There was a grappling hook on the sill of my open window. I closed my eyes.

Thud Thud Thud. The sounds were only moments apart. Great three intruders, I wondered if I could hold them off.

''It's so dark''

''Just a second, Piper.''

Huh, so the girls name is Piper. I thought

I opened my eyes. There just feet from me a tiny flame flickered, my eyes narrowed.

Who uses candles anymore?

'' Uh, Leo. I don't think the girl is asleep.'' Another guy said

''Jason, if it weren't for you I would have never noticed.'' Leo said sarcastically

''Who are you and what do you want?'' I asked

''Could we get some light?'' Jason asked I got up, grabbed my katana, and flicked on the light.

I studied their faces, two boys and a girl. The first boy was kinda cute. Tall, blonde hair, striking blue eyes, and a scar on his upper lip.

The girl, Piper, was pretty. She looked Indian, with choppy cinnamon coloured hair, and kaleidoscope eyes.

The other guy looked like a Latino Santa's elf. Scrawny, Dark brown curly hair, warm chocolate eyes. He's kinda hot I thought. Then I looked at his hand, the one that was on fire.

''Um... Your hand is on fire.''

''Hi, I'm Leo. Bad Boy supreme'' The Latino boy said '' I'm a son of Hephestus and can control fire.''

''I'm Piper.'' said Piper ''daughter of Aphrodite.''

''I'm Jason'' Said the blonde dude ''Son of Jupiter.''

'' I am Dani, and I want to ask you one more time, what do you want? You told me who you are, but what do you want?'' I asked. Leo, Jason, and Piper exchanged looks.

''Dani, have you ever studied Greek mythology?'' asked Piper

'' Yeah, in Latin at school.'' I said

''Well, uh, the Greek Gods are real, so are their Roman aspects.''

''Why are you telling me this? What does it have to do with why you are here?''

''Wait, you aren't freaked out?''

''Why should I be, I have always suspected that not every thing on earth earth is human.''

''Ok. Then you know how the gods were always having kids with mortals, right?''

''Yes.''

'' Ok,well we think that you are a demigod like us.''

''Then who is my dad?''

''We don't know. That is why you are coming with us to a special camp that trains demigods to fight monsters.''

''Ok, I'll go. I just need to tell my mom that I am leaving.''

''There is no time, Dani.''

Outside there was a mighty roar and the sound of leaves being trampled. I grabbed a sheet of paper off of the night stand and scribbled a note for my mom. Then I grabbed a back pack from my closet and started stuffing clothes in it. Piper came over to me.

''Here take this and fill it with weapons, I'll get your clothes.'' she said handing me a shoulder bag. We switched bags and got to work.

''Leo!'' I tossed him a sword

''Thanks.'' he said

Piper and I whirled around my huge closet grabbing clothes and weapons. Another roar sounded, this time way closer. I had successfully completed the task and ran over to get my katana. Piper finished and unsheathed a dagger, standing beside me on my right was Leo, and to my left Piper. Jason stood beside Leo. One at a time we climbed through my window and shimmied down the rope.

I gasped, standing not a hundred yards in front of us was a chimera.
