The onyx colored hellhound barreled over Nico de Angelo, raking its claws against his shoulder and adding another tear to his ratty black t-shirt. Nico cried out in pain, letting his stygian iron sword fall to the ground, where it lay, useless. The hellhound shook the red metal billboard plate that was around his neck and howled in frustration.
Maybe I should explain a little.
Five second crash course on my life: Nico was a son of Hades and the sister of Bianca de Angelo, who had died a few years ago. He was also the half-brother of Hazel Levesque, who summoned precious metals from the earth. While Nico and I were running from the hellhound, my girlfriend Annabeth was traveling with Thalia Grace, a daughter of Zeus, to the Canada Space Needle, and Thalia's brother, Jason, was with another girl named Piper McLean, who was trying to reach the roman catacombs. Meanwhile, Hazel, and two other guys named Frank and Leo were searching for some kind of magical superglue.
Confused?

Don't worry, future chapters will be longer. I just wanted this one to end there for emphasis.
Please review, even though so far this is only 174 words, and is written during NaNoWriMo, so I'm not at my best.
