Chapter 1

Shaine Mosby.

10 years old and very much alive. But I prefer people calling me Shaine. Not little Mosby or nerdy Shaine. Just Shaine.

Now I'm going to tell you my story.


Last summer was the weirdest and creepiest day of my life.

My school, Millburn Middle school(New Jersey), held a field trip. Only a few of us joined because since it's summer, all of my classmates has been thinking 'I wanna go to the beach!' and stuffs. But since I, a very logical student, not that I'm boasting myself since it's true, decided to come along and learn more. Our field trip is all about learning nature and our principal decided to camp in the woods. We set up our tents, made fire(it was already dark when we arrived), and the teachers want us to 'explore' before eating.

We splitted into groups when I saw an apple tree and left the group behind.

Now all of you people might be wondering why would a logical 10 year old girl leave her group in the dark spooky woods just to get an apple. It's simple.

I was hungry.

I took an apple and was about to bite when I heard a twik! from the other trees. I stared at the trees and waited something ferocious to come out but none ever did. "Must be a little critter." I mumbled.

And boy how wrong I was.

Just as those words escaped from my mouth a giant came out from the trees. I stared at it for a moment when I noticed something.

The giant has one eye.

...

And that is also the time I discovered that I could scream so loud like I was being murdered.

I broke into a run and the giant started chasing me. I ran and ran that I didn't even cared about the scratches that I was receiving from the twigs. As long as I was safe from that giant. I was getting far from the giant when it gave out a load roar and the ground rumbled and I stumbled on a log. I stood up and kept running back to camp but stopped when I realized something.

I can't go back to camp. I can't let anyone be harmed by the monster. So I thought of a very stupid idea that it may got me killed. I sacrificed myself.

I started to cry but was unseen because of the huge glasses I was wearing. The giant stopped and grabbed me. "Hahaha! So you puny demi-god give up huh? No one can run away from Polyphemus!" the giant sa—

Wait...D-did the giant just talked?!

That's it. I'm losing it. The gia-Polyphemus kept talking something like 'Wifey' 'dinner' and more but I stopped listening and started thinking of a plan to escape.

By the appearance of the giant made me think he's and idiot. So maybe if I smart talked him...no. That wouldn't work. No matter how stupid he may be he can kill me if I said something that offended him. What am I going to do? Smart talk is the only thing that I can do. It's not like I can fight! I'm the weakest in my physical education!

"Polyphemus back Wifey!" the giant roared again that it broke me from my thoughts. When I looked around, I found out we weren't in the woods anymore. We were in a cave. Polyphemus grabbed a rope from nowhere and tied my hands to the ceiling. When I looked below me I saw a very huge cauldron.

I'm already tired of telling all what happen so I'll summarize the story.

While being tied, I met a guy with goat legs wearing a bridal gown and a girl older than me with big mouth. Their names were Grover and Clarisse. Polyphemus found out that his soon-to-be wife was a half goat not to mention a boy. He got so angry that he locked us all and decided making Clarisse his wife.

Ater that we were saved by Percy, Annabeth, Aimee, Regina and another giant or cyclops named Tyson. Long story short, we survived and went to another camp(great...) and to found out I was a half-blood or demi-god. A man who is half horse, Chiron, who is also very kind ask me who I am and if I want to stay here. At first I had doubts but he said that it was free since I'm special and they would pay for my school. Finally I agreed.

Chiron ordered Percy and Annabeth to give me clothes to change while he talks with Regina and Aimee. The two then led me to the boys bathroom telling me to get change when I stopped them. "Whats wrong?" asked Percy. "If your worried about bullies don't worry about it." I shook my head. "Thats not it." I said. "Then what?" said Annabeth irritably. "You see, you brought me here to the mens room."

"And?"

"I'm a girl."

"..."

"..."

"WHAT?!" They both gaped at me.

I really couldn't blame them. Peope often mistake me as a boy too since my chocolate mousse hair is boy-cutt. But my eyes are a give away. So I took off my glasses revealing my sepia eyes to them and they gaped even more(if thats even possible).

"Y-your a girl.."said Annabeth. "And pretty."said Percy but he was smacked at the head by Annabeth.

"Yeah...so can I change now?"


And now many months have passed and I still stayed at Camp Half-Blood. I really don't mind it here. It kinda feels nice being in another city besides New Jersey. It's not that I don't wanna go back home. It's because I was on the news and said that I was missing or probably died. If I go back people will swarm at me asking too many questions. That and I don't want to stay with my step-father and step-sisters any longer.

Something change in me too. I learned how to fight even if I don't want to but it was for my own safety. I don't want to be kidnapped by monsters again. Another thing is my eye sight was cured because of the Apollo cabin that I don't need to wear glasses anymore. My hair also grew a little so it made me look more girly but I really don't care.

Camp here is really fun and deadly at the same time. I still haven't been claimed so I stayed at the Hermes cabin no matter how I hate it.

I also made new friends like Percy and Aimee, and frienemies like Annabeth and Regina. I have never felt this happy when I am still in New Jersey even if I have to fight to live here. I just can't explain it...

So right now I'm walking back to camp from school passing other trees. As I walk, I saw the pine tree up ahead which is the camp's boundary line so no monsters can come in. I was about to get in when I saw something from the sky. It looked like a falling star but at day. It shined so bright that I covered my eyes. And the next thing I knew There was CRASH!

The thing crashed on the river and I ran towards it.
