My eyes fluttered open as the car rumbled down the road, and as I sat up my messy blonde hair tickled my nose and made me sneeze. My dad looked over his shoulder and smiled at me "Callie, good you're awake. We're almost there." I sat all the way up and put my hair back in a ponytail and straightened my shirt so it was positioned correctly to fit the curve of my body. I tried to get my head on straight; figure out where we were going, and why I felt like a car had hit me. My mind reversed trying to go through what happened before I had fallen asleep, I suddenly remembered. I was going to some camp, Camp Half Blood I think, and I HAD gotten hit by a car. Not the whole stupid biker goes in front of car, car hits biker thing, but a car had been thrown at me by some ugly, bladeless, winged bat like thing! My dad called it a Fury, but I think it should be called a "butt-wade" after what it did to me.

I looked down at my legs, as tattered and scared as they were my eyes calmly and slowly made their way down my right leg tell they hit a deep gash. The gash was about a foot long running from my knee to the bottom of my calf. I sighed in disbelief now knowing that everything that I remembered was true, and that I was really going to have to go to this camp with out my daddy, the only person on earth that I loved.

I soon started to stare out of the window looking at the landscape roll past as the car drove by. Hay, hay, and more hay. I felt like we were in stinkin' Iowa or something. We came upon a group of cows eating, and as I looked at them, one in the middle seemed to be acting strange. It was bigger, and had long horns, unlike the others. It seemed to be huffing and puffing about something, but I let it escape my mind, thinking it was probably some hormonal cow getting tired of lugging around some fat baby cow or something like that. My eyes focused on the glass after a while and I was soon staring at my reflection, my dirty blonde hair bounced and tossed over my shoulder as the car rolled along. My grayish green eyes looked soft and tired, and the millions of freckles on my cheeks looked as if they had been sprinkled HEAVILY on my face. My eyes refocused on the landscape outside the car and a hill with a single pine tree on the top of it came into view. As we pulled up to it, the car jolted to a stop. "Okay buddy we're here, lets get you up that hill and into your cabin."

"Daddy I'm not leaving you, what will you do with out me?"

"Ah Callie I'll be fine all that I worry about is your safety, so lets hurry up and get you into that camp!"

"Fine." I said puffing and angrily getting out of the car, I grabbed my bags from my dad and hugged him tightly and kissed him on the cheek, "I'm gunna miss you daddy" I said as a tear came to my eye.

"I'll miss you too squirt I just want you to-"

"Dad watch out!" I screamed, he turned just as the impact of the thrown object struck us both, I tried to get up but the weight was to much, I started to drift off, I heard distant voices getting closer and closer, then it all went black…
