Faith Pulsey and her Camp Half-Blood Experiences.

(Faith is telling her story.)

I go to Camp

Okay, what happened was really weird. I have a friend named Brianna. It turns out she's a- You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Don't worry I'll explain it all in my story. Anyway, back to business. Well a bunch of weird things happened and boom I'm at this camp. I'll tell you everything in my story, but for now bear with me. My story starts on a not so normal school day. I'm about to tell you my story…

I was walking to school when my friend Brianna, who has crutches by the way walks up to me. I turn around and look at her. It was picture day and I always messed my picture up. Well another picture is about to be ruined. That's not how today's picture day went.

Debby Dadello and her four maniac friends were in front of me. I was with my friends, Brianna and Madelynne. I was waiting impatiently as I always did. You see I have ADHD and Dislexia, so it's hard for me to sit down, understand and read things the right way. I can read in Ancient Greek though, which by the way is my favorite class. I heard Brianna and Madelynne talking, but I couldn't understand because they were talking so fast.

I was up for taking my picture. 'Finally, it's about time' I think to myself. I smiled my best smile. The photographer licked her lips and took my picture. She was looking at my neck. I watched Brianna and Madelynne get their picture taken. Right when the final bell rang, I opened my locker and put my things in my locker. It was Friday so I grabbed everything in my locker. I was in 7th Grade and according to my mother I was transferring school's tomorrow. I left the school with Madelynne and Brianna. They were my next door neighbors.

I walked to my house. There were eight houses in my neighborhood. Four on each side of the street, and unfortunately at the other five houses, lived Debby and the four members of her posse. I was about to go inside, when I noticed Brianna and Madelynne were still at the bottom of their sidewalks.' I turned around to see what they were doing. Debby and her friends were transforming into something. Once they transformed into a monster, I realized that the monster was a Greek Hydra. This was not good.

Suddenly something appeared in my hand it was a sword. I swung it a couple of times to get the feel of the sword. It was perfect in size. I took a swing at the Hydra. Then I stabbed the middle Hydra head in the eye. I saw Madelynne take a bow and arrows out of her back pack, and started shooting arrows at the Hydra. Once she defeated the Hydra Brianna said, "The Empousa is coming. We have to go. Get your bikes."

I grab my bike and start following Brianna and Madelynne. We go into a forest. I have to admit I was pretty confused. Why did a Hydra appear? Did Brianna say 'Empousa.' What's with the Greek Mythology? Don't get me wrong, I love Greek Mythology. I was really confused.

We got through this arch safely. That was exiting, not! I looked around and saw, sword fighting, archery, and rock climbing. I also saw a lake and at least twenty cabins. We went to a big house and Madelynne said, "Chiron will explain everything. Let's go introduce you. Come-on guys."

After we found Chiron, he explained about the Greek Mythology and gave a tour of the camp. I was in cabin 11. The Hermes cabin, I was there because I was unclaimed. I unpacked my back pack with only my gym clothes and everything else from seventh grade. Then I laid down and almost fell asleep immeadiately.
