Chapter 1

REBECCA

Have you ever had that little voice in the back of your head warning you to not do something or not go somewhere? Yeah,I have a piece of advice for all of you that experience that: listen to that voice. Your life would be a whole lot more safe if you did. Trust me. Because that's what happened to me,except I didn't listen to that voice and I paid for it. Dearly.

I'm Rebecca,by the way. Rebecca Smith and I'm a tenth grader at the Wilderness School for Troubled Children. Why am I going to a school for "troubled" teens,you ask? Simple,I'm what people would call a freak. I never fit in at my other schools. All nine of them. I was the outcast of the school. I never fit into any group or clique. I always seemed to get into trouble no matter where I was. When I got kicked out of the first school,it was because I put sheets of tape in the doorway of my math teacher Mrs. Hudson's room. And as she stepped into the doorway,she ran into the tape and it wrapped around her. Everyone laughed. Everyone but Mrs. Hudson. She shook her fists at me and sent me to the principal's office. At the second school,it was because I put tacks on the history teacher Mr. Robertson's seat. Every school day for three months. Yeah,not the wisest idea. He grabbed me by the ear and dragged me to the principal's office. The other schools were because I failed nearly every reading exam. I know what you're thinking: What school would have a reading exam? Well,those schools were private schools and were strict on how they wanted their students to be taught. You see,I'm dyslexic and have ADHD. My attention span is minimal,at best. But anyway,enough about me and my "troubled" past. Let's get down to how this all happened. How I arrived at Camp Half-Blood.

You will never succeed,young demigod. My children and minions will stop you before you reach your full potential. You will perish before you discover your parentage.

I looked up and saw a mountain in front of me in the distance. A face of a sleeping woman appeared in the hillside. A wicked and sleepy smiled crawled across her face,sending chill up and down my spine.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "Who are you?"

Who I am is of no importance. The important thing is that you understand now that you have two choices. If you value your life and wish to keep living it,I would recommend you choose the latter.

"And...what are those choices?"

Either continue on your current path and suffer unbearable suffering to you and those you love. Or become my pawn and receive endless life and power. Help me destroy all those who oppose me.

"Uh,how about I do the first and forget I ever heard this." I said.

I was creeped out. Who was this sleeping hill woman and what was she talking about?

So be it,young demigod. Just know,you will be responsible for the suffering that lies ahead.

I jolted awake in the seat of the bus. My mind was a blur with thoughts all rushing for answers at the same time. I was freaked out. That creepy mountain woman was threatening me. Who was she? Why did she call me a demigod?

"Hey,Rebecca,you alright?"

I looked up to the seat in front of me. My friend Hannah peaked over the seat at me. I realized I was trembling and I cleared my throat and straightened up. "Y-yes,Hannah,I'm a dream."

"Ah,yes," Hannah said. "I hate those. Always with creepy stuff lurking about. What did you dream about?"

"Uh," I said, " Some sleeping mountain woman."

Hannah laughed. "I think you've been reading too many fantasy books. Wait,you hate reading."

I sighed and slumped in my seat.

Coach Hammer - (yeah,I said Hammer. Don't ask.) - stood up as the bus slowed to a stop.

"Alright,everybody, listen up! We are, as you know, quite a ways away from the Wilderness School,so I don't want any issues or injuries. It'll save both you and me a lot of explanations;especially saving me from a lot of paperwork. We are at Yellowstone National Park."

He gestured outside to a forested area that seemed to stretch for miles.

"And I want all of you to stick together,get it? Use the buddy system and stay close to the guide assigned to you. Get it? Got it? Good. Now,everyone, off the bus."

Everyone filed out the bus and were soon organized into eight groups,each carrying a different color flag. Hannah and I were in the red group and were the first to leave the area. We hiked down the trail and into the woods. The guide occasionally stopped the group and explained the significance of different stuff. Hannah and I looked at each other and groaned in boredom. We simply looked around,ignoring the senseless dribble.

After what seemed like hours,we arrived at a geyser. Old Faithful,the sign read.

The guide started talking. I leaned over to Hannah. "Hannah,let's sneak away so we don't have to listen to this anymore. I'm bored."

"I'm with you there,sister." she said.

We silently stepped back until we were hidden in the woods again. It was then,I heard a voice in my head say, "Big mistake,young one. A very big mistake."

I froze. Hannah stopped and looked at me questioningly. "You alright,Rebecca? Why'd you stop?"

I shook myself of the numb feeling that overtook me for a moment. "Nothing. I'm good. C'mon,before they notice we're gone."

We walked for a few more minutes before we heard rustling in the trees above us. We stopped and looked up. Three black forms hovered above us,perched in the tree branches surrounding us.

"Who's there? Amy? Rory? Jamie? Why're you guys up there? Come on down. We know it's you." I called up.

The forms disappeared momentarily then reappeared around us on the ground. Both mine and Hannah's eyes widened. These things had a humanoid black leathery body with bat wings and freakishly long fangs and claws. I froze.

"What are you?" I asked shakily.

"We are the Furies," said one.

"And we're here to have a feast," said another.

"You have food? Oh,I'm starving,I haven't eaten in three hours!" Hannah said. I smacked her on the shoulder.

"Our feast of choice is demigods," said the third. "And we found them. You."

Their fangs grew slightly and they snarled,stepping threateningly closer.

As they stepped closer,I mentally slapped myself. Idiot. Lesson learned,always listen to the little voice.
