I woke up from my first alarm at 5:30 AM and rolled over and shut it off. I tried to go back to sleep for an extra few minutes but my body was not having it. So I grudgingly got up and started to move towards my bathroom. I get in and turn on my shower while I started brushing my teeth. Once I was done with brushing my teeth and hopped into the shower and well showered. I got out and dried my body with a towel and headed back to my room to get dressed. Once I got in I picked up some plaid boxers, athletic pants with two green stripes going down it, a pair of white socks, and put on a blue shirt that read "Hollis" it in white faded letters. I went back into my bathroom brushed my hair and cleaned my glasses. I headed downstairs to the main floor and said "good morning" to my grandmother and sister.

My grandmother replied back "good morning". After that, I went into the bathroom on that level and took my antidepressant, my multi-vitamin, my inhaler, and put on my medifdentilate patch. I then started packing my bag and got everything ready for school that day. I picked up my bag, my lunch, my cell phone, and my tablet. I went down to the car and got in my grandmother's car and she drove my sister and me off to school.

Once we got there I headed to my first-period class, which was Spanish. Once I got to my seat, I said "Hola, Como estas?" to my teacher when she walked into the classroom.

She Replied "Hola Sterling. Bien, y tú?"

"Asi-asi."That was the end of our conversation as more students came into the classroom and class started. We didn't do much that class or the rest of my classes that day due to it being Friday and a week till the end of the 8th-grade year. All I really did that day was move my body from class to class and nothing interesting happened. Until the seventh period when I was in my Latin class. We were just watching a movie/documentary about Pompeii when suddenly everything was shaking and everyone started freaking out.

An announcement came on the intercom. "Will everyone please exit the building calmly to the lower baseball field?" and then the alarms went off, signaling the emergencies. We started walking out when someone grabbed me by the shoulder and dragged me out of the main foot traffic and into an alcove outside the doors. I tried getting away out of instinct but couldn't get out of their iron grip. They turned me to face them and I was meant with the face of a beautiful girl with dark hazel eyes, red plump lips, and long black hair.

I harshly told her, "Let go of me, and who are you?"

"It doesn't matter right now. You need to come with me right now or you will die". I was trembling with fear and my mind started to shut down with fear as I went into the starts of an anxiety attack. My breathing started to falter and I started breaking down.

Her face took on a worried expression and asked "Hey are you okay? Come on, get it together". She then slapped me hard across the face.

That knocked me out of my attack for now and I said "No, I was just told to go with a stranger who says that if I don't, I'll die"

"Oh, not by me you idiotic coward! Something is here to kill you, so now we have to go!" She then takes me again by the shoulder and basically drags me out into the woods along the cross country trail. We pass by the tall and thick pine and oak trees as we pass and trip over many roots on our dirt and weed stamped path.

I finally grunted out "where the hell are you taking me?"

"A place for people like us. A safe place... or at least as safe as you can get".

"What the heck! Is this like freakin' Hogwarts or something?".

"Not quite you idiot now shut up we don't need to give it any more clues to where we are." With a stern look and the tightening of her grip on my shoulder, I shut up. We kept on running down the path for ten minutes or so until we went off the path heading to what I guessed to be west. We again ran for another ten-ish minutes that way before I was completely out of breath and coughing. She looked down at me with disgust and disdain, most likely directed towards my poor athletic skill.

I managed to cough out "I have *cough* asthma."

She sighed as she started to slow her speed. "Ugh, of course, you do. Okay, we can walk for the next hour or so". After she said that our pace slowed to one of a fast walk and that's exactly what we did for the next hour we traveled. As we traveled I started getting really worried about how my family would react and if they would ever find me. I also wondered who may want to kill me or if there even is anything besides the scary girl with the iron grip. After the hour of our fast walk, she makes us run for another 20 minutes constantly changing course and then go back to our of fast pace walking.

This went on until the moon had gone and all that left was stars in the sky and she stopped and turned around and said: "we will camp for the night here gather some wood and don't even think of running away."

I gulp and said, "Of course not." I couldn't even if I wanted to my feet were very sore from the constant motion and movement. She starts setting up the campsite while I gather twigs some fallen broken branches and some leaves for the fire and come back with a good amount in about 30 minutes. When I come back there is a lean-to made an area set aside for the fire to be made. I drop the materials near the place for the fire and start putting the leaves and twigs on the bottom then start adding the bigger pieces of wood.

She looks at me genuinely surprised and said: "you know how to build a fire?"

I replied "well yeah. I have a fireplace at home and have had other fires outside." She just shrugs and lights the fire with a lighter that she apparently had on her.

As the fire started to roar she decided to tell me "go get some sleep I will keep watch." I didn't have the energy left to respond so I just collapsed beneath the lean-to and only heard her say as I fell asleep "his life as a demigod is going to suck." Then I was just out and into a dark dreamless sleep.

Yeah right, I just found out that I was a demigod, of course, I had a wacky dream. I found myself in what looks like a cave. I looked around and oddly the cave was lit up well and had lots of flashy decorations from the 80's all in bright vibrant colors. I was really confused why I would be here. Then I saw a freaking lion coming towards me and I was scared stock still. It stalked to me slowly and then just nuzzled against me and started purring. I must have had the funniest face when this happened because someone started laughing hysterically. Then a women With long brown hair in pink leg warmers and green leotard came into view and she was laughing hard almost doubling over.

She said "Few. I haven't laughed like that in a few centuries. Thank you for that" She wiped a few tears from her face.

I stuttered out "Ummm who are you and how and why am I here?"

She looked a little insulted but soon had her smile back on and replied: "well dear boy I am Cybele goddess of mountains, wild music, lions, drinking and on occasion disorder."

I stood there with my mouth agape and finally coughed out "so why am I here?"

"I am here to tell you that you have been given a gift by the fates and that it isn't a sign of you losing your mind. It is all real. Also before you ask no I am not lying and yes I am real too" I quickly shut my mouth after she said that last part. She continued with a chuckle from my reaction "furthermore you should use this to your fullest extent there are a lot of troubles headed your way and this will help you survive and probably even make your life better. That is all I can say goodbye Sterling and love you".

I was suddenly back in the woods where I hear a 'ping' and see a big semi-translucent green rectangle that said.

You have slept on some comfortable dirt your MP and HP have restored by 25%. All status ailments have been cured.

My headed jerked back at the sight of it and then I slowly but my hand to it and when my hand goes through it, it disappears. I started thinking that this couldn't be real and then I remembered my dream and what Cybele told me and knew that this is what she meant. I looked around me and saw that the girl who took me here was silently sleeping five to seven feet away from me. Then another 'ping' and a box popped up.
