The Life of Elizabeth Kall, Book 1, Into the Dark.

Chapter One I faint, again.

The room was cold enough, and to add insult to injury they had me tied down to a metal chair. The room felt like a meat locker, I couldn't tell what was in the room besides me. All I could make out was some equipment, probly for mining. I could feel the boat moving back and forth. The room got even colder when one of the monsters from the ship walked in. It was one of those Snake Women.

"Well how is my guest?"

"Oh just fine, I'll put on the tea kettle." I sneered.

"Your moutttthhhhh will get you in trouble young lady." She hissed.

"Why the underworld are you keeping me here!" I steered into the snake women's eyes.

"One lesssss half-blood, on their sssside, one less to fight." She hissed again.

I twisted my ropes. She grabbed a dagger and lifted it to my neck. Calestreale bronzes or a regular blade, it didn't matter. The cold blade stung my skin, bronzes. Bronzes always had that stinging quality to it.

"But, one lesssssss alive is even better." She pressed harder with the blade.

I could feel the warmth of blood going down my neck. The next thing I knew all I saw was a yellow mist. I couldn't see straight, I kept feeling the blood run down my neck. The smell of rust ran thru my nose. I felt someone add pressure to it. I couldn't hear, only muffled sounds. I heard a voice, muffled but I could tell it was male. I tried to make a sound, to tell him I heard. Finally I blacked out.

When I woke I found myself in like a hospital, I lifted my head. The first sight I saw, no joke, a man covered with eye balls. At that point, I proceeded to faint, again. The next time I awoke, there was a girl sitting next to me. She had brown hair, and steely gray eyes.

"Hi, hear, eat this."

She handed me a square of something, she made it into bite size pieces. IT tasted like chicken dumpling soup, no joke, and my favorite food in the world! The next bite was brownies; all I needed now was milk. She handed me a cup.

"Drink this."

I was able to sit up at this point and time. I took the cup. I drank, Mt. Dew? What was going on here?

"I know it's none of my by business but what did it taste like?"

"Ah, Chicken dumping soup, and brownies. The drink was Mt. Dew. Why?"

She smiled. "Ambrosia tastes different to everyone."

Where have I heard that before? Ambrosia,

"You mean the food of the gods?" I gulped down.

"Yeah, I had to be sure not to give you too much though. Are bodies can't take too much of it. We will burn up."

She smiled as if it where some inside joke. I knew I was a demi-god but, I didn't know we could eat it.

"Where, am I?"

She laughed, "You're at camp half- blood, sweetie. It's a camp where you learn to use your powers and fight monster,"

"Wait, wait, wait, there's a camp for us?"

She smiled. "For course, may I ask how you learned of you being a demi-god?" She asked.

"Well, probably not the same way you did."

"Try me."

"By monster, well hissing one's more like it. They came to my school, dragging me off. I was screaming and crying but no one helped."

The memory flooded my brain. I was sitting in math class; they were talking about fractions, or something. That jerk Thomas was talking to me,

"So like there's going to be a party this Friday, and I talked the boys into letting you come, and if you look hot enough that is." He kept rattling on about his party.

That's when I saw her. Mrs. O' Leary answered the door.

"Hello?" She smiled at the creature.

Zeus only knows what she saw.

"I'm heerree for the," she had stopped herself. "Elizabeth."

"Elizabeth? Hun, are you okay?"

"Yeah, fine. How do you know my name?"

She lifted my back pack; my name was on basically everything in there.

"What's yours?" I asked.

She smiled. "I'm Alexa, daughter of Athena."

"How did I get out of there?"

"Well, Nico saved you. He is really quite brave."

The memory I had, was of a male, only I heard was his voice.

"Where is he? Can I meet him?" I asked.

"Hold your horses; I'll go later to see if I can find him. In the mean time you need some rest." She smiled. I didn't realize how tired I was.

I opened my eye to hear a familiar sound. His voice, Nico. There stood a boy around 13, so young. He had dark black hair, with all black clothes; with dark eyes almost black. He was wittily with a knife making something that looked like a girl. Well a block with two indents that I thought looked like hips.

"You're awake?" Nico asked.

"Now I am. I wanted to meet the person who saved me."

"It was no problem; it was the right thing to do."

I sat up in the bed. "So, when can I get out of this thing?" I asked.

"Well, with Alexa's permission, later on today."

"Thank Heavens! I've been dyeing to get out of this bed for days."

I heard footsteps. "Now who's dyeing to get out of bed?"

I raised my hand. I heard Nico and her laugh.

"Alright," She handed me a bright orange shirt. "Your other one is in the laundry; sorry it's not done yet. It was covered in blood and you know how the Apollo cabin is about blood."

I hadn't noticed I was in a bright white tank, and black shorts. When I had been in jeans and my favorite blue shirt, and an old hoddie from my school. She shooed Nico out of the room while I put on my shirt, I didn't know why until I saw it. A huge bandage, wrapping around my body.

"Sorry Hun, were going to have to have to change that first."

She lifted my shirt. I didn't want to look at it. But I ended up doing so. Beside the bandage on my neck, under that was a deep, long, blood red gash. It went from my belly bottom to my hip.

"How did that happen?" I asked.

She poured a smelly liquid onto a cotton ball. She scrapped it across my wound.

"Well, when Nico killed the monster. He kind of fell and he just felt so bad about it. This will make the pain stop, and make sure infection won't get to ya. A few more with ambrosia meals, and boom! You will be all healed." She finished wrapping. "There, now can you put your shirt on? Or would you like some help?" I thought about it. "Why would I need help?" I lifted my arm. I pain shot down the side and to the gash. I yelled in pain. I could have cursed. But I didn't.

"Help needed?"

I could have cried. I nodded my head. It took a few minutes but I had my shirt on. "Why didn't it hurt when I was in bed?"

"Wrong arm, you lifted your left hand in bed. Your right was when you were putting on shirt."

I could walk fine just my arm hurt to raise my arm. I walked out onto the deck of the farm house. I had to lean on one of the support beams.

"You okay?"

I managed to say "No."

I felt two sets of hands lifted me to a chair.

"Charion!" I heard Alexa yell.

I woke up in the infirmary again. Alexa was crying.

"Alexa, what's wrong?" I asked.

"I am so sorry! This is my entire fault! Please, go back to sleep. It's the only way for you to get better!" She was still sobbing.

"No, I just rushed myself. Could you pass me some water?"

"Are you sure you don't want nectar? It would help."

My bandage was unwrapped, she passed me the water. I brushed the water onto the gash. It was healing it very nicely, I looked over at Alexa. She was steering at my cut. It was almost heeled.

"How, wow did you do that?" She was gasping.

"Umm, I don't really know. I've always been able to do that." I told her sitting up in my chair.

"You know what this means?"

"No,"

At that moment a blue flash was over my head, I couldn't tell if it was a trident, or a three timed fork. But there wasn't really a difference.

"What is that?" I yelled.

"You're being claimed, meaning your Dad is claiming you as there's."

"Is this normal?"

"Lately, but your only the second kid of Poseidon. So not that normal."

"Can I get out of bed now?" I asked. She looked at the scar. "Any pain? Like at all?"

"No, nothing, not at all."

"Well, I don't see why no, if you feel dizzy at all, tell me!" One of the other campers came in, she was holding my clothes.

"My stuff."

"Yeah Apollo's cabin finally did there chores."

She gave them to me; I put them into my backpack.

"So, if you're up o it, a tour?" She asked.

"Yeah totally!" I said.

I walked down the stairs. I could walk this time.

"Hey Conner, what are you doing down here?" She asked boy around 17. He had dark brown hair, and deep brown eyes that seemed to go on forever.

"Alexa, little miss candy stripper. What are you doing out of the infirmary, and who is this pretty girl?"

"You know I can leave any time I want, and this is Elizabeth, daughter of Poseidon. Elizabeth, this is Conner son of Hermes."

"It's very nice to meet you Conner."

"Hey you too, Alexa you giving her the tour? If so totally want to tag along."

"Come on Con, you know this place better than I do."

We walked down the river. Several Naiads were flirting with Conner, for some reason they called him Travis.

"Come by my Tree sometime Travis!" One yelled as we walked passed two girls trying to get a canoe out of the water.

We walked to a cabin with limestone walls.

"Well Elizabeth this is your new home." Alexa smiled. "I think your brother is in."

"My brother? I have a brother?"

"Didn't I mention that?" Alexa smiled.

I thought back, I was the second child, meaning she did say I had a sibling.

"Well, I've never had siblings before. Half or otherwise."

Alexa laughed. "I felt the same way as you, but my brothers and sisters and so amazing."

Conner smiled. "Tell Percy I said hi for me."

"I will. Thanks for showing me around."

Alexa laughed, "Were not done yet, I thought you could drop off your bag. And get Percy."

A boy around 16 walked out of his cabin.

Conner smiled. "Hey Percy, this is Elizabeth your sister."

He looked just as surprised as I was.

"My, My, My what?" Percy's eyes were huge.

"Hi Percy." I smiled.

"Ah, umm, Tyson! Get out here please!"

A huge boy with one eye came out, he was seven feet tall, no way he could be another brother of mine.

"Percy, who is she?" The boy said, I'm pretty sure his name was Tyson.

"Ahh, Elizabeth, right? She's are sister."

"Yes, you must be Tyson." I said.

"Elizabeth, her name just like Annabeth." He clapped his hands.

"Someone say my name?" A girl came out of the cabin. She wrapped her arms around him, her boyfriend obviously.

"This is Elizabeth, are sister."

"Sister, I'm Annabeth. Percy's girlfriend and Alexa sister. I heard about your condition, how are you feeling today?"

My brothers girlfriend, my friends sister, does everyone at this camp know everyone?

"I'm healed, thanks to Alexa."

"Well, were just here to drop off a few things and then continue," Alexa smiled.

I held on to my bag.

"Oh, well. Yeah, come on inside." Percy hadn't smiled. I guess he has never shared a room.

"Her backpack magic." Tyson said. How did he know?

"Yes, it is. It's a gift, form my Dad. Are Dad, Along with this." I opened it. My blade was in the bag, but nothing else whatever I needed ended up in the bag.

My sward was long and thick, at the end it had a teal stone. It was engraved with the name 'coalbolt". Percy's eyes where green with envy.

"When did Poseidon give you that?" He asked.

"Last year, for my birthday, I didn't meet him or anything; it was on my desk, with a note. Something about use it well. Whatever I need ends up in my backpack. It's quite convenient."

"That is so epic!" Alexa looked into the bag. "It's empty."

"It only works for me." I explained.

"Or she's a skitos?" Conner laughed.

"I'll show you around inside." Percy lead the way into the cabin.

I fallowed everyone inside.
