When the Rain Goes Too Far

A little drizzle fell in the small town. it said it would be snow on the radio, so alot of people were happy about it. but, Nico wasn't and niether was a girl on the other side of town. this story isn't about Nico, so we'll go to the girl on the other side of town, waiting for more monsters to kill.

The rain had gotten my hair plastered to my neck and back. it was different colors, as if I'd died it. I turned around slowly, as if afraid of what I would find. but, I found nothing, no monster about to kill me, no other demigods trying to break my neck, nothing. it was odd.I sat down. I was soaked already but i new it would get colder as the night wore on. I wore a black jacket with tons of pockets, all where full. I had a black mini skirt on with tights underneath, and black ballet flats on my feet. black was better for me so i could blend into the shadows. Sighing, i closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

in my dreams i was on the other side of town. a boy stood infront of me wearing an aviator jacket and jeans. he was staring into water talking to someone. i only heard a few words. stuff like 'the quest', 'someone', 'coming', and then i heard something unexpected. i heard them say "girl-behind you'. the boy whipped around and i saw his face. he had gray eyes and was glaring at someone- at me! "What?!Who?!When?!How?!" it was all one word though. "i'm a dream, i'm in a dream, i'm in a dream, i'm in a dream" i kept repeating myself, shaking my head. i couldn't believe he could see me. all of a sudden he said, "In a minte you will awake. meet me here. this will happen, but i won't say this..." he trailed off as i woke up.

As soon as i was awake, i ate a small bite of food and stood up. it was still night, but barely. i slipped through the shadows carefully, going across town at a run. i had never run on my journey before. i ran away from home two months ago, but never once had i actually run.

I soon found myself in the small circled park i had been at in my dream. in front of me was the boy, talking to the water. i walked up silently, trying to see who he was talking to, but he whipped around just before i could see. i got down on one knee and said, "You Summoned?" i knew he wasn't a god, but i felt it nessicary. "Yes, I did." his voice sounded hollow and dead, but soon picked up emotions.
he smiled and said, "Who are you?"

"I'm Janni. You will not take me back!" i whispered, unlike him. i was afraid someone would hear me and try to take me home.
"I don't wish to, but you must come with me. you aren't going home, i promise." he spoke as if he had been expecting me, just as i had felt i was expecting someone. i nodded and we left the square, headed for the woods. "Do you believe in the Gods?? Like the Greek Gods and Goddess?" he asked.
"Yes. It explains the things that have been chasing me and why i felt i was being watched." i answered quickly.
"Good. hold around my shoulders tight and whatever happens, do NOT let go. ok?" he gave orders and then added, "This may make you tired."
I nodded and gripped around his shoulders from behind him. He pulled my legs around his waist so i was getting a piggy-back-ride. Then, he ran towards the shadows.

One second we were in Central Park, New York, the next we were at a camp. A sign near the biggest house/cabin said 'Camp Half-Blood'. He set me down and I noticed everyone was staring at us and a bunch of girls were giggling. i grabbed my backpack and put it over my shoulder, "Take me back!" i demanded but he didn't listen.
"Go back to talking to water and your stupid quest. Take me back to Central Park!" i demanded again, this time he shook his head. i reached for my sword that was usually strapped around my waist on my belt. i looked at my belt- THERE WAS NO SWORD!! "YOU LITTLE!!" I screamed.
"Give me my sword!" I yelled.
"What this??" he pulled out my sorry-excuse-for-a-sword.
"Give it." he shook his head. just then, a sword fell out of the sky. i caught it just before it hit my. it had a small tag attached that said:
Little girl on her way,
Needs a sword to save the day,
Her dad will help her.
Signed,
Daddy Apollo

i finished reading it and a light began shining above my head. i looked up, there was a small sun above my head!! i had just been claimed by Apollo, God of The Sun. Lots of whispering began and i felt tears coming, i took my sword and bag and ran to the beach. i laid down in the sand, crying. i was amazed, happy, and scared at the same time. And i fell asleep laying in the sun.
