Brandon stumbled on the rough ground,his backpack heavy and his cuts burning and the night air cold,the snake women behind him catching up;he knew if he were to survive he had to get some space between used his last bit of energy to sprint forward, gaining him some time to figure out what he was going to do;He saw a large pine tree up ahead and picked up his speed as much as he got close to the tree and saw something glittering in its branches,he would have gotten closer if he wasn't being chased and he didn't see its obvious guardian,some kind of...wait was that a dragon?"Thats not possible your hallucinating"Brandon said trying to convince himself,but somewhere deep inside he knew that it was as real as the monsters behind him.
BRANDONS POV
I ran passed the dragon guarding the tree without a second glance,something shimmered into existence and I froze on the spot,suddenly instead of a strawberry farm which I had seen before,it was now a summer camp but before I could take it all in my legs gave out and I fell to the ground in a heap, I dont know what happened next all I remember is thinking what about the snake women? I woke up in a bed sometime later, I wish I could tell you how long but I didn't know either, I tried to get up but someone pushed me back down"stay still you need rest" A female voice said softly yet firmly,I looked at her then lay back down against the girl grabbed a bottle of something"This is only going to hurt for a minute"She said before pouring some on a particularly bad cut on my shoulder,I gritted my teeth in pain but the burning sensation soon subsided to a tingle,I tried to look at my shoulder and from what I could see of the wound it was healing,but not normally "Wh-what did you put on me!?"I asked my eyes wide as I looked at her."Its fine just a bit of Nectar to heal it faster"She said,I frowned"Where a I?"I asked propping myself up against the girl giggled"You're in Camp Half Blood" I frowned again"Camp Half what!"I exclaimed looking around the room I was in.A man trotted in and when I looked past his upper half I almost fainted again"Your half horse"I choked out,the girl poured me a glass of water and I took it horse man chuckled "I'm a Centaur dear boy" I cocked my head racking my brain knowing that I heard that name before, I finally remembered hearing it in Greek Mythology class"Half human,half horse"I said feeling stupid"But aren't they just Greek myths?" The centaur shook his head"Nothings a myth b-"He started to say before I cut him off"Brandon, my names Brandon" The man smiled"Brandon, nothing is a myth here" I stared at him slack jawed "Chiron I think he's well enough to go see the camp now"The girl piped up "I think so to Rebecca you are excused" Rebecca nodded and walked out the door,Chiron turned to me"Can you stand?" He asked, I nodded and swung my legs over the side of the bed, I stood up on shaky legs. I took a step then realizing I wasnt going to fall on my face I walked over to Chiron"Lets go see the camp then"
