This idea has come to me, so I decided to write it down! So uh yeah! :)


Prologue

Thalia Grace never strayed to far from camp when she hunted. She certainly never stayed gone this long. Thalia had went hunting by herself Wensday Afternoon. The three wolves she had taken with her had wandered back into the Hunters Of Artemis's camp early Thursday morning. That was two days ago. Artemis's Lieutenant disappearance had startled the sisterhood. Artemis became desperate, so much so that she called on her brother, Apollo for help. After explaining what happened, Apollo said he could handle it. He promised her he would have her Lieutenant back soon enough. Artemis hoped he was right.


Present Day

Wensday, October 13 2017 will forever be remembered as the day I officially lost my mind.

My name is Adelaide Phoebe Morrison. My life has always been on the strange side, but it really went down hill after my grandmother was murdered in front of my face.

I was eight years old, I had stayed home from school because of a stomach virus. My mother couldn't get out of work that day, so my Grandmother stayed with me. I laid on the couch and watched TV. Then the door burst open, anda huge snake women burst
/in. My grandmother shreiked and told me to run. But I was frozen in place.

" where Is ssssssshe" The creature hissed. She came after me, and cornered me. I stood beside our dining room table. The snake women hissed as she leapt at me, but my grandmother threw herself in between us. She and the creature tumbledaround, the
/creature won. I watched in horror as my grandmothers body became limp. The snake woman stood up, I instinctively reached for the nearest object that could do damage. That nearest object just so happened to be a empty candle holder thathada
pointy edge.

I was shaking, what was happening, what kind of hallucination was this. The monster did not give me time to think before it lept intobattle.

Adrenaline coursed through my veins, I managed to dodge the first few strikes of her spear. I had decided that the monster was infact a her. But I had no idea what I was doing, Her spear grazed my arm. Though the cut wasn'tdeep, pain throbbeddown
my arm and all throughout my body. I looked at my wound, the sight of blood startled me, I lost my focus and the monster took advantage of my stunned position and knocked me off my feet.

I struggled to get up, but the snake women had me pinned to the ground. Her putrid breath in my face. Her slimy claws grasping my arms. I tried to call out for help but my voice failed me.

" sssssso, little Demigod, are you prepared to meet your demise." She hissed.

I, however, was not prepared to meet my demise. Strength coursed through my veins as I managed to somehow kick the creature in the shin. She jumped back. Suddenly remembering the pointy candle holder in my hand. I jumped upand took my opportunity.
/ With every bit of force in my eight year old body, I stabbed the creature in the gut. She shreiked as she crumpled to the floor and exploded into yellow dust.

The room was silent except for raspy breathing coming from the corner of the room. There lying in a pool of her own blood, was my grandmother.

I rushed to her side. " Granny, please, you'll be okay, just let me call an ambulance." I felt tears stinging in my eyes. I knew she wouldn't be okay. I had read somewhere that the chances of you living after loosing twoor so liters
of blood werevery slim. The amount of blood surrounding my Granny looked a like a lot more than two liters.

" They'll come for you. They always come for our kind. I wished it wasn't true... I wish you weren't one of us" She said in a voice that was just above a whisper. I couldn't believe she was still conscious.

"What is 'our kind' " I asked.

Her breathing became labored, blood rimmed the edge of her lips. " Adalaide, there was a reason your middle name was Phoebe. I suggested it." She paused and started coughing. There was blood coming out of her mouthnow." Your father... Phoebe...

phrophecy... don't let them get you... there is a place... for our kind, you'll be safe." She rasped. She drew in a shaky breath and her eyes glazed over, and she exhaled, but she didn't inhale again.

Ever since then, I had continued to see strange things. More snake women, creature's with wings, creatures with multiple heads. My mom sent me to a Psychologist every week. I told my Psychologist about the monsters I sawand she
wrote down notes

on her clipboard.

Once, as I sat outside the Psychologist, Dr. Winters office afterone of our weekly visits, I heard her taking about how these "monsters" I was seeing was just my minds way of dealing with my Grandmothers death, my imagination alternatingrealityto
fit into a perspective that I could understand. But the thing was, I didn't understand.

Every time I saw a monster I convinced myself they weren't real, and that I was slowly becoming crazy. That's why when a half goat man cameand took me away to a camp for freaks, I "officially" became crazy.

I was walking from my house to my school, which was just across the street. I stopped in my tracks as I heard a canine growl behind me. I slowly turned around just as the biggest, blackest dog I'd ever seen tackled meto the ground.

I almost instantly found my strength, I managed to throw the dog off me with amazing strength. The monstrous dog skidded into the dirt. He got up, though, and shook his head as he prepared for another charge.

Unfortunately, my superhuman strength left me as soon as it found me.

But, as it turns out I didn't need it, somewhere across the street, someone started playing... reed pipes? I had never heard of them, but for some odd reason I knew exactly what they were.

Vines started growing from the ground and started wrapping around the huge dogs feet. It growled and tried to bite them, but the faster the music was played the thicker the vines grew, until they completely encased the dog.

" I got her, Nico, she's safe. Get ready toshadow travel!" A voice yelled from across the street.
