Chapter one: WHAAAAT!?
I woke with a start. Whoa! I thought to myself. My forehead was sweating and I was shaking all over. There was a storm outside that must have waked me. But then I heard a rattling knock at my front door. I got up off my bed; I opened my bedroom door then ran downstairs still in my pajamas.
"Mom?" I called. "Dad?" of course they were asleep.
I looked out the window real quick to see who was at the door. I wasn't going to answer the door is it was some weird hobo selling torn up shoes. But why would a hobo be selling shoes at 3 in the morning. But it was Hannah, wait Hannah?
I blinked constantly, unlocked our front door and talked to Hannah through the screen. "Karissa" Hannah was soaking wet from the rain and all shaken up for some reason.
"HANNAH!?" I called and then opened the door letting her in.
I licked my lips slowly. Hannah walked in she was shivering and her knees were all muddy. She must of fell a lot on her way over here.
"I'm a half-blood" She said seriously.
I looked out her and chuckled, "yeah and I'm a vampire"
She grabbed my shoulders tightly, her blue eyes filled with concern, and freight. "I'm serious"
My breath let out, and then I took another one in again. The brown eyes she was staring into which were mine, probably showed how much of a joke I thought this was.
"No!" I cried out "THIS WAS MY DREAM! WHY DO YOU GET TO BE ONE WHEN IM NOT!" I screamed at her.
"Karissa, I'm sorry but I just learned this, really I did. All I know is that there are a bunch of monsters after me and I need you to get me to camp, you know the address and you have read the Percy Jackson books over and over her eyes widened and she swallowed hard.
She spoke "I-NEED-YOU-TO-GET-ME-TO-CAMP!" slowly she would do this sometimes for my slow and confusing brain to understand.
My fists clenched. Why I was going to go was beyond me. I nodded lightly and we then were out the door.
We started running through the woods, "Do we have a car anywhere?" I asked her.
She smiled at me, but that made me worried. We ran and ran then on the road across the field was her moms red car. We made it there and her mom was in the front.
"Get in!" she screamed at us.
I got in quickly and buckled my seat belt but Hannah's mom already had her foot strapped to the pedal. Hannah was in the front seat her head was turned back towards me.
"My mom got a phone call today" she said through the entire ruckus, "someone told her if I didn't get to camp, I would be dead and sure enough it was my father" she paused "my real father…" Her eyes blinked a lot more for a few seconds it looked like she was about to cry, "Were almost there Karissa, where do we turn from here?"
I shook my head, and started thinking hard. Harder than usual, and much harder than I ever had during school.
"Turn left right… NOW!" I said her mom took a sharp left.
I tried to focus this all in, "Are you saying Percy Jackson and the Olympians books are….REAL?"
Hannah nodded. I could tell she couldn't explain it to me. I pursed my lips and tried to explain it to myself.
"Right up here..." I spat out.
How did I know that? I wondered. And then I saw Thalias pine tree.
"Mom, stop right here!" Hannah staggered out. Her mom did, she smiled at her mom and gave her a hug and a kiss. I wish I could have done that.
"Girls go!" she uttered. Hannah got out of the car speedy quick, "Karissa?" Hannah's mom said while my hand was on the door handle "I'll talk to your parents, good luck" and then I got out.
Her mom then sped away, and then a thought occurred to me, how am I supposed to get to camp? I'm mortal!
My friend grabbed my wrist, "Come on! There' a hellhound coming for us!" she howled.
Her clutch hurt my wrist but I wouldn't complain. I had no idea what was going on, but then again I did. There were monsters coming for my best friend and I didn't know what to do!
She pulled me up the hill we were about 5 feet to the tree when a loud growl appeared behind me. My eyes widened.
"Oh my- I'm going to die!" I screeched out.
Hannah let go of my grasp and the hellhound growled at me. Its fur stood up on ends and the hair on neck did the same. I was standing 2 feet away from the hound of hell and I was about one minute not even a minute away from death or camp.
"CHIRON!" Hannah called. I heard horse hooves gallop along the ground.
My eyes scattered as an arrow pierced the hellhounds skin. That's when my life was about to be better. "Go across child!" the horse man yelled at me.
I ran across and watched as the dog howled in pain as some kids behind Chiron shot arrows at the hound.
The breaths I took in and out were shaking. I was in a camp that wasn't supposed to exist, it was a fiction story.
"Get on my back…" Chiron the horseman said.
My eyes were still freaked out from what had just happened, but Hannah pushed me onto his back and then she sat behind me. He galloped to a big house and then walked into the high door that led into a small room. He had us get off and then sit on a couch.
"Karissa, you already have read Percy Jackson" He said to me.
I nodded; "good, well Rick Riordan was a camper here" he chuckled out.
I looked at him like he was a freak, even though he kind of was being all part horse and what not. "How can you chuckled when I almost died!?" I cried out.
He smiled at me, "calm down child, I just have a question, do you know who you are? And Hannah do you?"
I had a shaky breath "I might is it about Athena an how I'm her child but I have brown eyes?"
Chiron nodded, "I know my dad called my mother and sent me here, that's all I know" Hannah alleged.
Chiron laughed "Well I'm glad you two know something, we try and make sure future campers have read the Percy Jackson series, just so they'll know to be ready for camp" he sighed "and mortals who wish to be a half-blood they end up dead"
My eyes shot open fast, "Don't worry" he encouraged "I'm just joking"
He picked up a leather jacket that was hung over a chair, I have to go to Olympus and to talk your mother Karissa, and also make sure Aphrodite and Zeus don't find out you're here" He thought for a moment "Have a seat, watch some television stay out Of Dionysus's way and you shall be fine"
"MY STORY ABOUT HOW I'M ENEIMIES WITH ZEUS AND APHRDOITE AND HOW THEY WANT TO KILL ME AND WHY I HAVE BROWN EYES IS TRUE!?" I shouted.
All Chiron did was nod and disappeared.
Then I heard a funny chuckle "can't wait to see how this will turn out, such fun"
I looked over to a table and saw Dionysus, or as us campers are suppose to call him Mr.D, "OH MY-GODS!" Hannah and I said at the same time, and it was not an your real oh my gods that's awesome, it was an I'm annoyed Oh my gods. We were stuck with probably the most annoying, hatred of children that arn't his own, god. Great!
