Chapter One:

The day wasn't that strange. Aww, what the heck is was as strange as being chased after school by a one eyed jock jerk with half a sheep man running with you yelling, "KEEP RUNNING CUPCAKE!"

In fact that's exactly how my day went, or at least that's how my day ended with a BANG! And only because I wouldn't go out with Jeremy yeah the huge guy that grew immensely in height and his eyes had now merged together into one huge eye. His baseball jersey was bulging under the new mass. He swung his baseball bat around our heads. Yeah the sheep man was still beside me yelling at me, "KEEP RUNNING CUPCAKE!"

It's not like I didn't have an idea what the guy was but right at that moment the correct term escaped me as I apparently was running for my LIFE! I looked back as Jeremy swung his bat in the air trying to knock us off our feet. I ducked as a swing came down too close to my head, I nearly tripped but the sheep guy grabbed my arm to balance me and he dragged behind him. He brought out a walkie talkie and yelled into it,

The voice replied on the walkie talkie replied, "Coach could you not call me Hydra Breath?"

"Stop complaining Cupcake! Where on earth are you?"

"At the front of the school." The voice replied.

"GROVER YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FOLLOWING US!"

"Give me a break Coach, I haven't been on the field in years! I don't know why they-"

"STOP WITH THE EXCUSES CUPCAKE! WE'RE BY THE BASEBALL FEILDS! COME PICK US UP!"

"I hear ya Coach!" the voice paused as I heard an engine roar in the walkie talkie, "Frank is closing in on your position!"

I asked. "Who's Frank?!"

Then out of nowhere I heard a trumpet of an elephant and thundering footsteps along with it. I turned my head and saw yeah an elephant charging not towards me and the goat man but at Jeremy. The elephant crashed into Jeremy.

I wanted to stop and stare but the goat sheep dog pulled my arm yelling at me to keep running. We kept running and a white van for a strawberry farm pulled up in front of us. The door slid open and a blonde stood in the doorway, "GET IN CUPCAKE!" He shouted and the goat sheep man pushed me into the van.
"I'm not getting kidnapped right?"

The blonde looked at me and replied, "No, we're here to help! We'll get you to safety!"

The sheep dog man came in and shouted at the driver, "DRIVE GROVER!"

The blonde looked at the sheep dog man and said that she was going to help Frank, or something and jumped out and the goat legged guy shut the van door, and the van quickly sped off, I fell because of it.
A few empty crates for strawberries fell on top of me. I quickly got rid of them and stood up again but because of the vans movements I never got good balance.

I looked at the goat legged man, and then it hit me, I snapped my fingers and stated, "You're a Faun like Mr. Tumnus!"

The faun grumbled. "It's satyr." he replied. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the back and looked out the windows as the elephant-

"WHAT?!" I shouted.

I saw the elephant change shape and then the blonde charged at Jeremy with a bone-like weapon, and the elephant changed into a lion!

I turned my head and yelled at the satyr, as he liked to be called, "Did that elephant turn into-?"

"Cupcake just sit down: It'll just get weirder for you yankees."

I disobeyed and looked out the window again as Jeremy tackled the lion and used his huge hand and knocked the blonde out of the way. One-eyed Jeremy roared and another jeremy with baseball jersey and baseball bat, and yes one eye came thundering toward the van, swinging his bat like a club.

I laughed nervously, "Hehehe, Hey batter batter batter SWING!" I said, and he did just that he swung his bat but the van wasn't going fast enough to evade the swing and the van was hit and began to flip in mid air several times with strawberry crates flying everywhere. I began to really freak out and I randomly shouted, "IT'S A SPRING FLING!"

The van stopped rolling and landed on it's side. My body ached terribly with crates on top of me. I blinked slowly, the satyr's voice muffled and echoing against my ears, "I hope this one isn't a Hermes or Apollo kid: we have enough of those trouble makers."

"Chrion said that this one was special." The driver replied.

I quickly picked myself, shoved away the crates, and dusted myself off.

"Alright Cupcakes we have to get out of here somehow."

Then the whole side of the van door was ripped off the van and the one eyed freak stared in. One look and I knew who it was, "Jack?" He smiled and reached for me. "MOVE CUPCAKE!" he shouted as he shoved me out of the way and the one eyed guy named Jack grabbed the satyr instead of me.

The driver walked up to me and pushed what was left of the back doors open and hurried me out. He took my arm and ran, "We have to get you to safety!"

I also noticed that this guy was also a satyr as he galloped with his furry goat legs. He pulled me into a distant alley and we leaned up against a wall as we caught our breath. "We have to call for backup!" He panted he pulled something out a coin or something and looked at a puddle and then chanted something under his breath and flipped the coin into the pool and rainbow shimmered out of the pool and the stayr yelled, "Chiron at Camp Half-Blood!"

The rainbow shimmered into many colors and a picture of a guy with a long brown curly beard and hair to match. He smiled as he put away some writing, "Hello Grover." Then his face changed as he saw our faces, "What's wrong?"

"Chiron we need backup, now!"

"Yes I'll send help right away!"

"Thanks! Hurry!"

The rainbow shimmered away and I just stared and asked, "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!"

Grover didn't reply as he looked out for the cyclops and slowly rose to his feet and motioned for me to do the same for me.

I got up quickly waited, and looked out myself and observed the fight happening. Then Grover turned his head and grabbed my arm again and led me though different alleys. We paused again and looked around to make sure we weren't followed. Then something was off, I heard flapping of bat wings, and sensed something was around the area.

My pupils shrunk and stopped breathing, "The air." I whispered. I only had one chance to look up and out came down a scaly dragon with huge talons and bat-like wings. It came down and the talons grabbed me by the shoulders and with one flap swooped me up the air, hoisting me higher and higher than carrying me away. I struggled against the dragon's talons and eventually the dragon lost it's grip momentarily but then picked me up again screeching as if to declare victory. I sulked then I heard something else a metallic screeching, my senses heightened and I looked to my left and saw a flying metal propelled object coming straight for us. The dragon noticed and tried to veer away but no matter what it did the missile hit us and

KABOOM!

The explosion caused my ears to pop and I expected my face to be completely blown off, but the I had no time to really think cause the dragon let go of my shoulders and I began to free fall. I watched the ground coming, closer, closer, and closer, and the thought of dying and felling the impact of the cold cement. I closed my eyes, and fear lept into my throat, and I blacked out.
