Chapter one:

I Find out my Dad is a God

Ouch! I thought as I woke up, bumping my small head on the top of my purple bunk bed. I got up slowly, thinking about the random dream I had last night.

"Honey!" My mom yelled from the bottom floor of our modern condo in New York, New York.

"Coming!" I yelled, pulling on some jean shorts and my favorite purple t-shirt. As I was running downstairs I grabbed a brush and started tugging out the tangles in my short brown hair, that has a purple streak down it. I grabbed a plate of eggs from the table and gobbled it up, chugging down the milk, I ran out the door just in time to hear the bus screeching to a stop on the corner of my street.

I sprinted down the Avenue just as the bus moved on, turning the corner and taking my last chance of getting to school on time with it. My mom had already left for work, so I started walking down the road thinking how long the walk would be to school. But I stopped when I heard a boy yelling from behind me,

"Run Vanna!" wait! I thought, that's my name! Who is he? IS HE A STALKER? Before I could ask him a huge bird, lady, thing, with glinting red eyes tore out from under a blue prius and tried to swipe at him, but he ducked and pulled out some sort of bronze sword. The bird…..well, lady leapt towards him and he moved quickly out of the way, swiping and ducking until he finally slashed her in the back, the creature turned into dust and disappeared with a poof!

To stop myself from exploding with curiosity, I yelled out "Who are you?"

He studied me carefully "I'm Malcolm, and your Vanna right?"

"Yah, but why are you hear? What was that thing? How do you know my name? And what is that sword made from?!" I was yelling now I was so confused and curious.

"Whoa!" He said laughing, "That creature was a Fury, and that sword is mine. It is made form celestial bronze, the only metal that kills those….things. I know your name because I have news for you. You are a demigod that means one of your parents is a mortal, and one of your parents is a god. Th..."

"WHAT?" I exploded with rage, "Okay this may be funny to you, but I am not kidding! Are you a stalker or something because I still don't know how you know my name! And whatever TV show you work for is retarded!!!" I stopped yelling because Malcolm was laughing so hard he was rolling on the ground.

"I'm sorry, it's just I am not joking or anything! You have to believe me; you can get hurt if you don't come to this…place with me." He was staring hard at me, and for some reason his face told me he was telling the truth.

"Okay, I believe you." I finally said.

"Good, because we need to get you back to camp so we can hopefully find out who your dad i..."

"Wait! Who is your dad?" I asked, interrupting him again.

"My mom, actually. Her name is Aphrodite." I stared in amazement. I followed him to the top of my condo building, and I got a good look at him. He was tall, unusually tall; he had wispy blonde hair and massive blue eyes. I smiled, but it faded when I saw a huge horse with wings landing next to Malcolm.

We rode in the sky for a few hours until the Pegasus, whose name was Porkpie, dropped us off in front of a huge house.

"This is called the Big House." Malcolm told me "Chiron and Mr.D live here." I was about to ask where they were when a man walked out of the "Big House". Well, he wasn't exactly a man he was a horse from his feet up to his neck, the rest of him was human man's head. I learned about them in class, a centaur, yes Chiron was a centaur. Then another man walked out next to him that looked oddly familiar to me, but I couldn't pinpoint why. I waved it off and turned to look behind me. There were rows of small cabins shaped in a semicircle.

"Hello, I'm Chiron. You must be Vanna." Chiron said, politely bringing me back to Earth.

"Yah, and who are you?" I asked, turning to the man standing next to Chiron.

"I am Dionysus, the god of wine, feasting, theatre, and revelry." Mr.D. said proudly.

"Well! I am going to show Vanna the camp." Mark said, interrupting the awkward stare that Mr.D. gave me. We walked past a stable, an arena, probably for fighting, and a "hellhound" as Malcolm called it. Malcolm showed me whose children stayed in each cabin, and he introduced me to a son of Poseidon with sea-green eyes and black messy hair.

"Well, its time for dinner. But afterwards you can meet some other campers. Go ahead and put your backpack in the Hermes cabin. That's where all the underdetermined campers stay." After throwing my stuff on an empty bunk, I sat at a table with other campers from the Hermes cabin. I met a girl named Emma Sanchez, she was three or four years younger than me, but her hair was bright red and she had mossy-green eyes just like me. Everyone was very welcoming, then Chiron stood up

"Welcome back to Camp Half-Blood everyone Tomorrow night we will have our annual capture the flag game! The blue team will be, Athena, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Dionysus, Apollo, Hecate, and Hades. The red team will be, Demeter, Zeus, Ares, The Hunters, and Hermes." Then Emma got up with her plate of food and walked over to the fire. She shoveled the most tender meat into the fire and whispered something. I watched curiosly as she motioned for me, and I walked over with my buttery mash potatoes, I scraped it into the crackling fire and whispered, "To whoever my dad is." When I got back to the table and sat down. Then Mr.D. stood up and cleared his throat, "I would like to announce that we have a new camper, Vanna Logan!"

Everyone started whispering and Emma said next to me "Whoa! He remembered your name!".

"And…." Mr.D. said again, gaining everyone's attention. "I would like to claim two daughters, Emma Sanchez and Vanna Logan." Everyone got up and clapped, but they were apparently amazed that he could have two girls.

"Well," Emma said happily, "Now we are official sisters and demi-gods!"
