Me and my best friend Kaia were running from an ENORMOUS dog. Kaias beautiful features, were now covered in cuts and dirt. Her hair tangled and filled with weeds and grass. Her clothes now filled with blood and dirt. We have been through so much, that I thought this was the end. I ran, forcing my legs to go faster. My lungs failing, but I keep on going. My long brown hair was flowing into the wind, as some of the dirt flows off, but not all of it. Cuts and bruises covered my skin. Still stinging from the dog and his claws.

"WE HAVE TO RUN FASTER!" I screamed over the roar of the dog. When did dogs ROAR?

"ARDEN! I CAN'T!" Kaia screams slowing down. The dog was a few feet away, I couldn't let my best friend get killed.

"COME ON KAIA!"

I grabbed her arm roughly and ran, dragging her along with me. I could hear her scream in pain.

"WHAT!?" I say slowing down.

"I broke my leg!" She says kneeling down, tears falling from her face.

I bit my lip, thinking of what to do. We would be dead any minute, the Dog was close.

"Just come on!" I grabbed her arm, and led her straight toward the Strawberry field that was close to us.

I could hear the cry of her pain still, but there was just no time for it.

Me and Kaia ran through the Strawberry field and collapsed on the ground. The Dog was not behind us anymore.

I could hear the soft cry of Kaia. She was curled up in a ball, holding her head between her legs. Like she was 12 years old all over again.

I sighed in relief and patted Kaia on the back. Me and Kaia have been friends since we were 8 years old. Now that we were 16, we could trust each other with everything. She looked up and said,

"Arden, your the best friend I have ever had." She gave a small smile, and went back to her sobbing.

I smiled back, and then glanced toward the Field. But there was no field, there was a place filled with mythical creatures, and teenagers our age.

12 Cabins were layed across the field.

"Kaia, look." I say pointing to the strange place in a middle of nowhere.

She looked up, her eyes red. Her frown turned to a smile.

"What are you waiting for! Lets go!"

I shrugged and helped her up on the ground. She slung her arm around me, and we both limped toward the unusual place, that seemed to be a camp.

When we arrived, there were so many creatures that we didn't know what they were. Centaurs, Satyrs, even Nymphs! A big Centaur came galloping toward me and Kaia.

"I'm scared." Kaia says with her eyes widen. The Centaur studied us and asked us, "Who are your parents?"

Why was he asking me this question? "Um..I only have my Mom. Her name is Kathy. My Dad left long time gone."

Kaia's eyes were still wide. I gave Kaia a nudge.

She awoke from her shock and said,

"Oh...Sorry, Um..I only have a Dad. His name is Will. My Mother left....like when I was born."

She gulped and murmured. "Please don't hurt me."

The Centaur smiled. "Welcome Young Demi-, I mean..Welcome. My name is Chiron. Cabin 11."

We both nodded and walked carefully to Cabin 11.

"Why are we staying at this strange camp?" Kaia whispers to me, as Satyrs glance at us.

"Well..Do you want to get chased by that dog, or stay at a nice safe cabin?"

Kaia hesitated.

"Well...Lets get going to Cabin 11!"
