I AM CLAIMED
CHAPTER 1
How bad can my live get? Luckily I know the answer to that. I didn't want to be a half-blood but I am. I am guessing that you are wondering who I am, let me tell you. I am Kevin Mcgrain and I am 13 years old. Until a few months ago I lived in Manhattan with my mum but now I'm at a camp called Camp Half-Blood.
I am going to tell you my story from the start. It begins on the first day of the summer holidays when I am packing for a holiday that my mum had gone and surprised me with. Just as I was getting in the car I heard my mum scream so I turned and standing there was a Cyclops. I only knew it was a Cyclops because I learnt about them in school. Anyway it was gaining on my mum and I knew I had to help her and fast. Just then a sword appeared in my hand and without thinking I charged at the Cyclops. I raised my sword and I hit the Cyclops right on its eye with the blade of the sword. I was surprised that the monster disintegrated there and then. My mum was so shocked that she never said anything. When she did speak she said "Holy Zeus we need to get moving and fast!" I didn't have enough time to ask her why she said that because she told me to get in the car ASAP.
She told me that she was taking me to a camp that will explain everything about that Cyclops and who my father really is. I was always told that my father died when I was little. My mum always told me that he died in a plane crash. Now I feel like that is some sort of clue to tell me who my dad is. The car stopped at the bottom of a hill. I saw a sign that was written in Greek but I knew what it said. The sign read Camp Half-Blood. I saw a boy and a girl standing at the top of the hill and the boy yelled "Hey Kid, watch out for that fury behind you!" I turned and I saw a winged typed person flying straight for me so I raised my new sword and slashed at the monster which dissertated just like the Cyclops. My mum was shocked but unhurt and the two kids came running down towards me. The girl was blonde with grey eyes while the boy had black hair and green eyes. They asked me all sorts of questions which I answered the best I could and my mum helped me out a bit.
The girl Annabeth Chase (daughter of Athena) told me that I was a demi-god or a half blood. My mum told me that she was told by my dad that she had to tell people that he died in a plane crash and that she never knew who he really was. Annabeth and the boy Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon) took me and my mum up to the big house where we met Chiron the Centaur and we told him everything that happened. He did seem a bit surprised when we had finished our story but he said "hopefully you will get claimed tonight but I have a feeling we are all going to be in for a shock." Percy and Annabeth took me on a tour of the camp while my mum went home for the day.
At campfire I was tense because I hoped I would get claimed. "Kevin stand up." Annabeth told me, so I did. I looked up and I saw a hologram of a lightning bolt hovering over my head. All the campers knelt while Chiron spoke "Hail Kevin Mcgrain, son of Zeus, Lord of the sky and King of Olympus."
