Hey guys, if you have read my story wisdom and water I'm sorry it's taken me over a year to update. As soon as I find my notebook I'll post the next chapter. Enough about me please enjoy-Anchor.

No, I don't own PJO.

I looked down at the wild sloshing water. My feet are on the edge. I have thought about this for a long time. Should I do it?

I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't hear someone say "you don't want to do that."

I turned around startled to find four teenagers around my age. There were two guys and two girls. The one that spoke was a boy with raven black hair and green eyes. The other boy was tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. One of the girls nudged the other girl. The one that elbowed the other one also had raven black hair but had startling bright blue eyes. The girl that got knocked in the ribs had choppy brown hair and kind kaleidoscope eyes; you couldn't exactly say what color they were.

"Its okay just stay calm, you don't really want to do that?" the girl with the choppy hair said.

It sounded more like a question, but my mind was somewhere else. I started actually believing what she said like I was in a trance or something. But I shook myself out of it.

"Get away from me. All of you." I said.

"No you really don't want this" the other boy with blue eyes said.

But before anyone could do or say anything else I jumped.

The adrenaline rush was great until I realized the two boys jumped right behind me. What did they think they could do to save me?

They caught up to me and one grabbed me from behind while the other one was in front of me. One started gliding or floating towards me. When he grabbed me we just went slower. I tried kicking at them and calling them crazy. We were a few feet from the water and I relaxed.

I barely felt the impact; I was just laying on the water floating. The two boys were off to the side under the water. They came up and started fighting. It was a perfect chance to get away. I got to the waters edge but ran into someone while I was still watching the boys.

"Are you going somewhere?" The black haired beauty asked.

"Just going for a swim," I retorted.

"Your swim is over, come on."

"Excuse me?"

"Your swim is ove-."

"I heard what you said; I'm not coming with you! You guys are strangers, actually your strange strangers so I'm not doing anything or going anywhere with you."

And that's when everything got as dark as her hair.

I woke up and sat up thus banging my already pounding head on the bunk above me.

I startled the girl sitting in the chair next to me. "Are you ok?" she asked quietly.

"Ugh, I'll be fine." A much used phrase of mine.

"Ok, but still take some of this. It will help with your headache that I'm sure you have."

I took the glass she handed to me. "What is it?" I asked.

"Oh, it's nectar."

Right, ok it's just nectar like in the myths of heroes serving their gods.

I looked at it, help with the pain? Umm, I don't even have to think about it. I gulped it down really fast thinking that it was going to taste like the nasty "fruit" flavored medicine. I was surprised to find it taste like cookies, but they were the best cookies I had ever eaten.

I remember being really young and it was a couple of days before I was being rescheduled to a second foster home. A young woman came in carrying a Ziploc bag of cookies she handed them to me and whispered "enjoy them." A couple minutes later the cranky lady that was helping me get replaced told me to hurry up and get in the new foster parent's car. I put the remaining cookies in my bag and hurried up. They were the best cookies I had ever had.

I sighed, thinking of a small moment where I was actually happy.

"What did it taste like?"

I jumped forgetting that the girl was still there.

"Umm, Cookies I guess. What flavor is it supposed to taste like?"

"The best thing you've ever had, well that's what people tell me anyway. I've never had it, but ambrosia for me tastes like black bean soup."

I was so confused my head hurt both physically and mentally.

"Thanks for taking care of me. I should be heading back to the house now; I got school Monday."

"No, you can't."

"What do you mean I can't?"

"Come see Chiron, and he will explain it to you."

I was about to protest, but the word explain stuck out. I don't think anybody has ever explained to me the truth.

"The truth?" I asked.

"The truth" she confirmed.

So I walked to the 'Big House' as she called it.

"Wait I don't know your name?" She asked.

"Kari. What's yours?"

"Piper, it's nice to meet you Kari."

I nodded in return, but just kept walking till I could see through the dark what she meant by Big House.

I rubbed my temples while sitting on the couch waiting for Piper to get Chiron. Who according to Piper is there 'camp director.'

What if they're kidnapping me? Oh gosh my foster parents are going to kill me.

A guy in a wheel chair came around the corner with Piper walking next to him.

"Hello your finally awake, I'm sorry about that Thalia shouldn't have knocked you out and brought you here against your own will."

No matter how much I wanted to be mad or angry I couldn't. This guy had something about him that made it impossible to look him in the eyes and be mad at him.

"Its fine, but I need answers" I stated.

"Kari, you are a demi-god. All the myths of the Greek gods are true."

My head was probably cracking open by now, because I was somewhere in between shock and passing out…again.

"What? No, that can't be possible, there is no such thing as the Greek gods." Even saying that to them deep down I felt something like he was telling the truth.

"Yes there is. Normally demi-gods come being chased by monsters, but I will prove it to you in a different way."

I guess I didn't have much of a choice…but to follow.

IMPORTANT: I will soon go into her past and thoughts about suicide. If you have thoughts about suicide please get some help, because believe me your life is worth living!
