Prolouge
By the Way, almost this entire story is in Jake's POV
"Come on, man! It'll be fun!" Said my best friend Matt Rosebrough, as we walked out of school . You see, he's been trying to get me to go to this camp he likes, Camp Half Blood. Sounds like a torture camp, to me. "Dude, for the 80 millionth time, I'm NOT GOING!" I yelled, but maybe a bit too loud, getting weird looks from people. "You have to go, they told me-" He stopped in mid sentence.
"Matt. Who told to do what?" I asked, keeping myself from not grinning. I know it sounds mean, but I think it's HILARIOUS when Matt says something he shouldn't have. I mean, come on! "Uhhhh…your mom. Your mom told me to make you come. She…uh…she thinks it'd be good for you." What? Why would my mom want to make me go to Summer Camp? Huh. Weird. But then I thought of an opportunity I couldn't pass up. "Fine, I'll go to you're stupid camp on ONE condition." I knew he would agree to whatever I had in mind. He just wanted me to come. "Anything you want, dude." "I get to call you Rosey the WHOLE time we're there." I said, laughing.
He immediately blushed. "I can't help my last name! And no, you can't call me that. Think of a different condition!" Sorry buddy. If I'm gonna go, I'm going to bring down your social life there too! "You can't help your last name, AND you blush at anything embarrassing! And if you want me to come to the camp this badly, you have to agree with my condition." "Ugh, gods sometimes I hate you! But fine, I agree. Just don't do it in public that much, ok?" "Nope, I'm doing it all the time. But at least I'll be there, right?" "Yeah, I guess…"
Matt told me that my mom already agreed and we could walk straight there, he apparently knew the way. Good thing I'm a pretty athletic twelve year old, or I couldn't have walked the 5-10 mile way there. "Hey Matt. Since this camp is so close, why have I never seen it before? I mean, I go over here a lot." I asked Matt. I mean, I know for a FACT that I've been here a lot before. " Um. They just built it. Last Month." "Then how do you know you li-" "OW! Jake I need to rest my side hurts from all the walking!"
God, he was acting weird today. Wait, that reminds me, did he say 'gods' earlier today? Hmmm. Something weird is happening here. Eh, I guess I'll find out once we get to the camp. "Are you ready yet, Matt?" "Yeah. Let's go." It took about 20 more minutes of walking,(silently) until we got to the camp. "Oh my God! Dude this place is huge!" It was! There were 12 cabins, all differently decorated, all beautiful. I myself liked the blue one, I thought it was the coolest. I bet that one is full from so many campers wanting it.
But anyway, I walk through the camp and see, well, how do I put it…The hottest group of girls ever! I mean, I'm not as into girls as most guys are, but really. They ranged from age 11-17 and all of them were pretty. Probably the snobby, rich girls. But then the weirdest thing ever happened in two parts simultaneously. One: I look behind me and see the upper body of a man and lower body of a horse. 2:Right when I look at me he asks me how my day has been. I black out.
"JAKE!" Matt yells. I open my eyes, and it looks like I'm in some sort of mansion. "Matt! What happened,and what is this place?" I exclaimed. It was a wonderful room and all, but I really don't care, I want to know what happened and where the heck I am. "Oh…well. You're in the Big House, and you just met Chiron." "Isn't he the Hercules guy?" I asked, "Yes Jake, he is the 'Hercules Guy'" Am I dreaming? "No Jake, you aren't dreaming" the Chiron guy says while walking in. "Ok, what is happening here? Is this some kind of prank? AM I BEING PUNK'D?" I was mad. I mean, what the heck? First my friend makes me go to this stupid camp, then horsey can read my mind?
"No Jake, you aren't being 'Punkd'. This may be some unbelievable news, and you probably won't believe us at first but I must tell you now. You are a demigod."
Was that good? Well it was just a prolouge, and I tried to make it as long as I could so you aren't mad at me! I'm using my friend's computer today, and mine is getting fixed till moday! Sorry, but hope you liked, but go easy, first fiction story I've ever written.
