Chapter 1
"Aston your the big sister," my mother told me when I was about two, the day Lynn was born. Now nine years later I'm thinking about this when I should be work on my math . I hate math, I'm not gonna lie, it's not my teacher, it's the numbers and things, they spin off the page. Anyway back to math. I give up I thought as I walked to Mrs. Crammer's desk.
"Mrs, Crammer can you help me with this?" I whispered not wanting any one to hear
"Sure here make these into smaller steps : Add divide subtract,then your done." she said.
I walked back to my seat then the bell rang
YES! free a last!!
I scurried out of the room and to my locker, I had to kick it a few times to get it open. I threw my book in and took off down the hall.
I walked kinda fast out off the middle school. It is so mean to put little fifth graders in the same school with tall, big eighth graders who would get love to push me in a locker, and leave me there to die.
Anyway, I made my way to Lynn's school, my little sister, then we had to walk a block home. Lynn was waiting by the door, she walked up to me looking like she was gonna cry.
"whats a matter?" I asked when she came up to me
" I got- I got an D on my animal poster, it was Ms. Kauffuman, I hate HER!" she sobbed
" shh, its gonna be okay" I spoke too soon.
" Good day little herossssssssssssss" came a slurred voice from behind us.
Right in front of us was snake woman, not a lady with a little pet snake, but a green half woman half snake, and she looked a mad!
She held a sword and armor things toward us like she wanted to make Ashton and Lynn kabob's.
Well I did what any normal person would do, I ran right at her kick her in the leg, she swung at me and give me a look that meant something like "I gonna kill you and make Aston kabob for a little
snack." I grabbed her sword arm and hit her with herself, she cut at my jeans and spit at me in the face, she started to hiss but didn't finish because she exploded into yellow smoke.
"Run!" I yelled to my sister.
We ran all the way home as I unlocked the door to our apartment
"What was that thing back there?" I asked my sister
I don't know " Lynn said and then she began to cry
"Hush now," I begged. " Here eat something" I handed her a cheese stick and she opened and nibbled on it.
The I looked at my clothes. I was fine, but my jeans weren't so lucky. There were holes and rips, then there was that totally ruined leg that from the knee down got cut off and was left some were in the city. Lynn got off a little better, but she still had a ton of holes, you know like she got sprayed with acid or something.
"Change now " I told her.
Lynn just walked out, still in a fog, she must be really freaked out. I followed her
"You can't tell anyone, not even mom," I said sternly.
"Why not?" Lynn asked in a small voice.
"Cause I don't even know what we saw," I answered
I walk away, I had to hide my clothes too.
ONE DAY LATER_
I waited for the school bus to come, I hate morning. Anyway at my bus stop there are some people that really don't like me, so I kinda hid in the brush, in the entrance to the park. I heard voices, so I walked in farther.
"We need help with the river, the mortals think it is clean but old chemical waste from that power thing is killing us," one voice said.
"I don't know what to do, try to clean it or try to channel the power of the Wild...what's that smell?" said a slightly higher voice, trailing off before saying the last part.
Then I heard a noise coming closer, oh crap!
Standing in front of me was a boy with animals legs and horns!
"Who are you ?" animal leg boy asked.
"what are you?" I asked. I mean he had really hairy legs even for a guy! And Horns? Come on, is this a joke??
" I'm a satyr, so what your name?" he asked.
What the heck was a Satyr? "um...why do you have donkey legs?" I asked.
He rolled his eyes as if it was wrong to ask questions
"So whats your name?" he repeated.
"Aston..." I trailed.
He took a deep breath like he was smelling something really good, then his eyes popped.
"You're a half-blood!" he exclaimed, like he just realized something. "sit down this is going to be quite shocking," he continued.
He explained this whole big explanation, after a while I became distracted by all of this and only listened to what he explained.
From what I understood I was the child of some Greek God or Goddess from Mythology.
"So...um...what your name? Wait! I know! Harry right?" I asked, attempting to make a joke.
He rolled his eyes."Grover," he said. No way that not a real name is it? Why couldn't it have been Harry?
The worlds ugliest puppy winners came backing into us, they did not look happy.
Grover started to play some thingamabob recorder toy and vines grew a round the evil puppy things until they were stuck, all tangled up.
"Run go to your place!" Grover breathed .
"Come on!" I yelled
As we ran down the street people didn't really move they just yelled at as for pushing them. I mean evil dogs were try to kill us!
"Why are you running from a puppy?!" one women shouted, as we ran ahead of her.
"What were those things?" I asked out of breath after we reached my apartment.
" Hell hounds," Grover answered also out of breath. "Pack for a summer, I'm taking you to Camp Half-Blood,"
Camp Half-blood?! "Well my sister come too?"
"Lynn right? She has the same Dad, yeah, she better come too,"
I nodded
In twenty minutes I was all packed and ready to go, I had pack for Lynn, I hope camp had phones. I would need to call mom.
Wait! Would I live at this camp forever?
Grover was grabbing a cab, he said we would pick up Lynn at lunch.
"So what camp like?" I asked trying to be normal and not about to have a panic attack
" Well..to summarize...Nice, big forest, rock walk," Grover explained.
"Oh"
"We'll get off here" he said to the cabbie when we were at the side of the school.
We walked in the school and Grover just told them that he was her uncle and there was a family problem.
We got Lynn stuff and she freaked out when she saw Grover
"You have llama legs!" she cried.
"The Greek gods and myths are real And one of them is our Dad!" I explained to her, summarizing.
Right there in the bus station Lynn passed out!
Thank you for my awesome beta and her awesomeness for keeping my story alive !
