uleHey guys, this is my first fanfic so just let me know if you want me to keep going. =)
Emma was having a bad day before the monster came.
It started when she left the only cash she had on a table in a restaurant, of course when she went back to get it was gone, stolen by a passing pedestrian. Then it started raining, soaking her clothes and bag, she couldn't go home for shelter, considering that she didn't have one since she was about 9, forcing her to hide under a dinners awning for about an hour, normally Emma loved the water, but losing her money put her in a mood, plus this rain was freezing, when she was finally able to come out, her legs were stiff and she was cold to the bone as she pulled herself up a long road that seemed to never end, feeling relived when she finally came to the woods.
Emma had never liked open spaces lately, it made it easier for the monsters to find her... she just hoped she wouldn't encounter any of those today. she thought as she walked, thinking about stuff normal teenagers of 16 would never have to even think about, things like were she would stay tonight, were her next meal would come from, if the monsters would return.
Emma's head snapped around at a rustling in the bushes. She quickly pulled out a longish pocket knife from her pocket that was slightly bent at the end. Flipping out the blade she held it ready in her hand, everything was very quiet for a moment, like in the movies right befog a monster jumps out and all you do it give a small jump, only this time it was real, Emma didn't think she had seen one this big before, the thing had the head of a woman but the body of a chicken like bird, it jump out with a yappy squawk and began scratching at her with long claws. Emma began slashing at the thing with her knife with instinctive motions that come from were, Emma never really knew.
Killing the thing was harder than it usually was since the monster was much larger than they usually were, Emma leaped backward to avoid getting her eyes scratched out, and lunged to get rid of the chicken lady, when Emma had encounter her first monster, she had attempted to run away from the beast, but she had quickly learned that you couldn't escape the monsters. With some more ducking, rolling and dogging. Emma was finally able to give the chicken lady a deadly stab in the back of the neck, it denigrated into ashes.
Panting with effort after the battle, she gathered up her things that had tumbled out of her backpack, and heaved the strap over her shoulder. Emma's leather jacket was torn to shreds, her dark jeans had several holes from falling on the asphalt, and her hair, witch was in a ponytail on top of her head, was now tumbling in long dirty blond locks around her shoulders. She sighed and continued her walk up the road.
She was just considering hitching a ride on the back of a car that would nerve pass on the deserted road, when suddenly a boy jumped out of the woods, at least she thought it was a boy, he had curly hair with what Emma assumed were horns on top of his head. He was wearing and orange t-shirt with a Pegasus running across it, looking down, what she had thought were a pair of fluffy jeans, were actually long and very fury goat legs. Witch didn't really bother her, she had seen to many weird things.
The boy/goat whipped around and a toothy grin spread across his face, "Well, we finally found you." he seemed relived and exited.
"What do you mean found me?" Emma ask, living alone for 7 years she really didn't expect anyone to be looking for her.
Instead of answering her, they both turned at the sound of a car coming down the road, instead of speeding past them like Emma expected it to, the car come to a screeching halt in front of them.
He gave me another grin, "Looks like our rides here." Emma was still confused about all this and took a few steps back, "Look," she began, " I'm pretty sure you've got the wrong person, I'm just," she cut her self of as someone stepped, or wheeled out, of the passenger side of the car, a man in a wheelchair rolled himself over to Emma, giving her a quick glance before looking at the goat boy, "How long?" he asked him, like it was a question that had been asked many times before,
"About 2 minutes." he replied, "Looks like she just took down a harpy with a pocket knife."
"Good work Grover," the man gave Emma another glance and was about to speak again when she interrupted, "Who exactly are you people?" she questioned, casting looks at both of them, Grover and the man looked at each other, "It would be better to explain on the way there." they agreed, "if you would Ms. Emmaline please enter the car if you would like an explanation."
With some convention, Emma did eventually enter to car, and to her surprise, she found out the driver of the car was in fact a beast covered entirely in hundreds of eyes, after a moment of shock she quickly excepted this and allowed Grover and the wheelchair guy to explain.
"Lets start with introductions," sais the man, "I am Chiron, I will be your trainer, activities director, and your Centaur while you stay with us," he pointed at the creature with hundreds of eyes, "this is Argus, he is our security guard, the satyr is Grover underwood, he's the one who's been keeping an eye on you for the past month or so." he looks at me like this is supposed to make since.
"I don't understand," she tell them, "what's a centaur? What's a satyr? Were are we going, and who are you people!" Emma's short outburst gets there attention and all eyes turn to her. Chiron sighs, "Emma, have you ever herd of the Greek gods and goddesses?" She nods her head, "Well, there real, very real in fact, and sometimes, those gods and goddesses have children with mortals called demigods, what I am saying Emmaline, is that you are one of these children."
