I don't know why I even try to live anymore, I'm supposed to be dead. Everything that happened to me today is impossible, "Nothing is impossible" my mother used to say. What does she know? She never had anything like this happen! She's dead for crying out loud! I took a deep breath and tried to focus. Ok so I'm alive, barely, but alive. My best friend is half goat...Ok nothing weird about that... my foster parents are monsters.. Ok I'm defiantly crazy. My goat friend Sam turned towards me, "are you alright?" He asked me with much concern. I tried to ignore the fact that we were hundreds of feet in the air, in a chariot being flyed by a bunch of horses with wings. I also tried to ignore the fact that I'm afraid of heights.

"I'm alright" I said trying to believe my self. Sam nodded and looked at the sun "we should be there before the sun sets" he said giving me a reassuring smile. I looked off into the distance and drifted off to sleep.


"Amanda" Someone was shaking me, I woke to Sam staring down at me. "Were at Camp Half Blood, you were asleep when we arrived so I carried you to the infirmary to have them treat that wound" I glanced at my bandaged leg were my mom threw a knife at me. "Chiron wants to talk to you" he said. A moment later Chiron walked in he was half horse, which didn't surprise me anymore than finding out my best friend was half goat. Sorry a "saytr".

"What do you remember?" Chiron asked "tell me everything"

I started of with my life story "My name is Amanda Nightfall, I am 16 years old. My father left when I was a baby and my mother died from going insane when I was 7. My foster parents took care of me until now and I lived in an apartment complex next to my high school." Chiron nodded, "What happened, do you remember why you're here?" I sighed not want in to talk about it, but I did anyways. " It was after school and I was walking to my parents car, I can't drive yet so they take me places. My "mother" took one looked at me and hissed, I staggered backwards as she stepped out of the car. Her warm brown eyes turned to a shadow of green, they were cold and angry. "Well well well Amanda dear, I see you're "mommy" put up a good fight but not strong enough, her soul is mine now" she hissed. I started to run, run as far as possible but she thew a knife at my leg and I collapsed! Sam protected me from her and..." my voice shook "that's all I remember"

Chiron looked at me like this was no surprise, he put his hand on my shoulder and started to explain everything. That I am a demigod and this is my home now and my foster parents are dead..

Sam told me that I will be claimed at the campfire by my godly parent which I looked forward too, I really need a parent right now..
