I have no idea what happened to me, or how I had even gotten out of my house; all I knew is that as I opened my eyes I was on a beach that I've never seen before and I was surrounded by countless people and... animals?! The sight of hooves among all the legs startled me and caused me to try and push off the sand and crawl away rather suddenly which I regretted instantly because pain flooded my body. I screamed out in pain and rolled onto my back, clutching at my stomach and side, two of the areas that radiated the most pain. But my legs had an unimaginable burning sensation, as did my arms, and all I could do was shut my eyes and whimper in pain. Not long after I had rolled over and shut my eyes, a panicked murmur started amungst the crowd, some people started shouting for others, but then these two voices rose above the others and caused the people to stop shouting. The sound of hooves hastily approaching me caught my attention, as did a voice that sounded distant due to the ringing in my ears from the pain.
"Percy, Percy get over quickly!" A deep voice boomed from above me. Just hearing that name being said brought back memories and caused me to shudder and whimper in pain from moving. It was the first time that I had heard that name in years from the few things that I could remember. Pulling me out of my thoughts was a voice that haunted me.
"Chiron I'm coming! Gods, people! Get out of my way!" The voice was getting closer to me and seemed to be pushing through the crowd. "What's going on so early this morning Chiron? Why are there so many campers-" His voice stopped suddenly and I could hear him gasp before I heard him run over to me.
"Pick her up and get on my back so we can get her to the big house. There's enough to worry about with this much of the camp seeing this, we don't need anything else to worry about right now." The deep voice said to the younger male.
I felt him pick me up as carefully as he could, but I couldn't stop the cry of pain from escaping my lips. I held onto him tightly and opened my eyes, only to look up and see none other than Percy Jackson himself. "I'm so sorry Ana..." He whispered to me and kissed the top of my head as he got onto what I thought was a horse. I opened my mouth to protest his apology, but he placed a finger over my lips. "Please don't stop me... You deserve the apology and you are by no means in any shape to argue." He whispered to me, keeping my body close to his.
"Everyone back to your cabins, there's nothing to see here!" The deep voice boomed, causing the crowd to start to leave. It was only then that I saw the voice came from the creature that Percy and I were now on top of. Half man, half horse; there's no way that the Greek myths were real... But here I am, being held on top of an actual Centaur. Before I could ask anything about it to Percy, my vision started to blur and the last thing I heard was Percy shouting frantically and Chiron galloping away in a rush while shouting some commands to others.
