I ran. I ran faster than I thought possible. You see, I had been kicked out of camp. My brother came. He claimed he was the best. Mike was his name, and he was the definition of living Hell. He was short and fat. Or stubby and chubby as I like to say. Anyway, I had been looking for Annabeth, only to find her in MY cabin, kissing and moaning my brother's name. I'll admit, I shuddered. I was disgusted. Then I ran.
Crash. Ow. What the heck? I looked up, and glaring down at me was my uncle and aunt. Lady Hestia and Lord Hades. Great. Just great. Can my life get any worse?
" What are you doing here?" I blurted out before I could stop my big mouth.
Hades glared at me. "We're here to help you, boy. Now do you want it or not?"
"What he means to say, is that there is a remote location we can get you too, and it can help with a problem the Underworld is having. Am I correct brother?" Hestia said in a gentler tone.
"I suppose."
I was thoroughly shocked. I just ran away from camp. Away from safety. And when did any of my Uncles ask for help? But I'm an idiot. So I said yes. I didn't think it would make a difference right. I mean, all I wanted to do was get away from HER. I didn't really care where I went, so long as she wasn't there.
"Great. We are going to take you all the way across the country. In fact, you may even see some of your old friends there. Now, lets go." My aunt said enthusiastically.
"If you don't mind me asking, my lady, where are we going?" I asked, scared and hopeful at the same time. I might see some friends…does that mean Annabeth? No, it can't be. I just left her. And half was across the country? Is that supposed to be camp Jupiter? I do have friends there, after all.
"We, my dear boy, are going to Forks, Washington. And you are going to take care of a vampire problem for me." Uncle said, and then they both flashed us out.
