Okay, this story takes place a little bit after Percy got back from the Sea of Monsters. So yeah, they're all trying to find peace and KABOOM! More drama xD Enjoy xD

My day sucked from the moment my pegasus woke me up at six a.m.

I'd been running for three days from cyclopes. I hadn't slept since we started running, and I was dead tired. I finally crashed on a park bench at midnight, hoping to get a good eight hours of sleep.

I was wrong.

Oh, yeah, I'm Savannah. I'm 13 and I'm a demigod. That means that half of me is mortal, human, like your everyday human being. The other half is god. Like, Greek god. You know, like Zeus, and Poseidon and stuff? Poseidon's my dad. Now some of you may be thinking "Wow! Being a half-blood must be so fun!"

It's not.

Being a demigod is scary. You're on the run from monsters 24/7. You normally die in painful ways. Most of us are ADHD and dyslexic. Since I was six, I've been in 12 different foster homes, and kicked out of five schools. I never stay for much longer than month before they kick me out or I run away again. When I was nine, I ran off, and they haven't caught me since.

Anyway, back to the pegasus. I had crashed on the bench and had sleep for the first time in three days. I was too tired to even dream, which is hard for demigods. We normally have lots of nightmares. I was having a peaceful sleep, when I hear a banging on the pavement. My eyes flew open, and looking down at me was Argos, my pegasus, his different colored eyes staring down at me.

"Argos!" I groaned. "What in the name of Poseidon do you want?"

The paint pegasus whinnied. They're coming! You'd better hurry! He said.

Oh, yeah, I can speak horse. It's a Poseidon thing.

I sighed and climbed up on his back. He spread his brown and white wings, his one ice-blue eye glinting in the morning light and shot off into the sky.

Argos got his name for being the fastest pegasus I've ever met. And I've met several pegasi. Argos means swift in Greek, so that's where his name came from.

Anyhow, he shot off into the air at the speed of a jet plane. I clutched his mane. This is the time and place I'm glad I grew up on a ranch. He flew so fast my ears popped. In the blur of motion, I saw mortals pointing and smiling.

They think we're a comet, Argos muttered. Let's show these mortals how fast a horse can really go.

"Let's not…AHHHH!" I screamed as Argos barreled forward even faster. A huge explosion sounded from behind us and I realized it was a sonic boom. I clutched onto his mane as we made a hard landing. "Ow," I muttered and slid off.

Argos held his head high, the white patches glowing in the morning light, making the brown patches on his paint body look like dirt. How was that for fast mortals?

"Argos you are very conceited." I told him.

Shut up, the horse said.

"I love you too," I muttered and walked forward.

I glanced around. "Argos, where are we?" I asked him.

Near the Long Island Sound. He responded.

"Where's that?"

New York.

Great, I thought. New York is crawling with monsters.

Argos seemed to read my thoughts. This place is crawling with monsters.

"I know. We need to find someplace safe."

Why did you lead us here exactly?

I'd been following my instinct since the cyclopes found us. My gut told me we were going the correct direction, but my mind told me to hop back on Argos and fly all the way to the middle of the US.

Being an impulsive demigod, I trusted my instinct.

"Argos," I said tentatively. "Go on, and eat some grass or something."

Donuts? Argos asked hopefully.

"Sure," I said. "Get some donuts. I'm calling Checkers. He knows the way."

Checkers? Are you sure?

"Go on, I'll be fine."
Argos nodded and flew off. I'll be nearby, just whistle!

I pulled out a dog whistle from my pocket, and running from nowhere came my huge hellhound Checkers. Yeah, I have a hellhound. That's a long story that I'll save for later.

Checkers bounded up to me and shoved his nose in my face. He was a young hellhound, about the size of a rhino.

"Hey buddy," I patted his nose and he licked my face.

Okay Hades, I silently told the god. You said I'd need Checkers to find home, this had better be the time.

I climbed up on Checkers and rubbed his ear. "Okay Checkers, this is it. Take me home, boy."

Checkers barked knowingly, and ran off, right towards a tree.

"Checkers, um…buddy, WRONG WAY!" I screamed.

He bounded to the tree and when it seemed we were going to get much more personal with the tree than I wished to be, the shadows rippled and swallowed us.

I had no idea that my dog could travel through shadows. The good thing, it was a lot faster, the bad thing, it brought out my worst fears.

The dark

Creepy noises

Enclosed spaces.

It was awful, but before I knew it, we popped out at the top of a hill. There, in front of us, was a pine tree, with a huge dragon curled around it, and a shimmering sheepskin.

The Golden Fleece? I thought.

But before I could inspect it, the dragon stood up and breathed fire. I would've been torched, but luckily (I'm hardly ever lucky) Checkers dove out of the way and continued down the hill. I barely heard the cries of the kids around me, wondering what the heck this kid and hellhound were doing. I saw blurred images of archers, kids climbing a rock wall with lava, and others playing basketball. My dog halted in the middle of something that looked like a sword arena, which was filled with startled swordsmen, and deposited me on the ground my shaking me off. I struggled to stay standing as a kid with dark black hair and sea green eyes walked up to me.

"Who are you?" he asked.

I didn't even get to respond before I blacked out.

I hope you enjoyed it xD Um...rate and stuff, you know, and I take requests! Thanks!
