Avalon Renee Russella was the average ADHD kid with dyslexia. She was always a little weirder than the other kids but didn't think much about it. She was also prettier. Way prettier. Her dad didn't talk much about her mom, but when he did, he had a dreamy look in his eyes. She was walking to school that day when a kind of tall kid with a goatee walked up to her. He looked about 5'10".
"Hey, Avalon." This threw her off guard. Normally, she would run but she was curious.
"Who are you? How do you know my name? Do I know you?" She asked. The kid laughed. It was a strange laugh, but she didn't think anything of it.
"Whoa, hold on a minute." Suddenly, they were attacked by a three-headed monster with the foreparts of a lion, the hind-parts of a goat, and a serpent's tail.
"WHAT IS THAT?" Avalon screamed. She backed up instinctively. The kid scowled.
"Stupid Chimera." He muttered. Then he yelled up at the so-called Chimera, "Didn't Bellerophon kill you already you beast?" Avalon couldn't help but be amazed at his bravery. What kid, who's about 5'4", would stand up and scream insults at a giant monster? The insults didn't stop there. She heard swearing, cursing, and more insults. Suddenly, a pegasus dropped down with a kid with dark hair and a wickedly cool sword.
He grinned at her. Behind him was a blonde girl. "Hop on!" The boy yelled. "Hey Grover!" Avalon didn't have to be told twice. She got on the pegasus while the boy was battling the Chimera, throwing insults like Grover. Surprisingly, he won and the Chimera burst into dust. Wonderstruck, Avalon was quiet and thinking the whole way. When they got to a camp, they got off the pegasus and a centaur walked out.
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, Avalon Russella."
