In Perfect Harmony- The Wind Situation By: OceanWater

A/N- So…what's this? This is the tale of Megera Collins. This is the result of many rough drafts and edits. It will be told in Megera's POV. Flames and CC will be gladly accepted. It will be appreciated if you point out any spelling or grammar mistakes. My rant is over. Let's continue this little story.

Chapter 1- In Which the Truth I Learn

My bedroom has a nice view. If you open the window you can faintly smell the scent of roses and cinnamon. The room seems to give off an aura of harmony. My story begins when all stories begin- Monday Morning.

"Megera, wake up!" my father, Damian Collins shouted. His voice echoed around our small, quaint house. I groaned and slowly got out of my soft, comfy bed. I really hate Mondays. Just as much as I hate sparkling vampires and clumsy girls named Bella. Anyways as I was saying I woke up and slowly started to dress. I threw on a white blouse and blue jeans. Then I walked into the dining room and poured myself a bowl of cereal and I began to eat. My dad walked into the dining room and sat across from me.

"Megera, today you're going to learn about algebra."

"Dad! I'm only 11." Did I mention I'm homeschooled?

My dad works for some computer company that lets him work from home. I have ADHD and Dyslexia so my dad says it's better for me to be homeschooled because 'I can work at my own pace'. I mean I like to be homeschooled- no evil teachers or homework- but I really don't have a 'social life'. In fact I think no one else other than my dad knows I exist…

I sometimes wish I have a mom. Dad says that my mom left to who knows where after I was born. At times I wish my mother was still here. But then again, she must not be a very good mother if she left after I was born…right? Of course that's before the "accident".

Back to the story. After having devour a bowl of cereal and having a lengthy conversation with my dad about how I am not going to learn algebra and how that cheese and shrimp will not taste 'yummy' together my dad sent me upstairs to get started with some math problems he assigned to me. Anyways after hours of multiplication and complications with my division I told my dad I was going for a walk around the block.

We live in a small town and in a safe neighborhood in the middle of Texas so it wasn't dangerous for an 11 year old to take a walk. This was when my life started to take a turn. A good or bad one I still don't know. The first sign of trouble was when I saw a flash of gold and silver in the sky. I thought it was just my imagination…

The next sign of trouble was when a female voice shouted "MOVE!" The next thing I knew I was flying through the crisp spring air and my back slammed on a hard tree trunk. Did I mention it was hard? Now being the insane person I am the first thought I had was 'I hate sparkling vampires' followed by 'Do vampires get sunburn?'. The first sane thought was 'What in the world hit me'. I weakly turned my head and I notice a few things- 1. I was not dead-good 2.I was on the pavement and I was pretty sure I broken a few bones-bad 3. A silver chariot and a few horses with wings…wait…flying horses and chariots? My day was just getting weirder and weirder. I slowly closed my eyes to the sound of feet running across pavement…

My dreams of course were weird and unusual...as usual.

I was running. I was running fast. I was running faster than my wildest dreams...forgive the pun. I couldn't stop running. It seemed like I had no control of my body. I suddenly tripped. Why, I did not know. I turned around and saw…a…BEAR! And he was eating…a…taco! Weird, what's next Edward Cullen declaring that he wanted a divorce with Bella? This was certainly the most vivid dream I ever dreamt. Slowly the bear advanced on me and…

I woke with a jump. And of course I fell out of bed. Wait…wait…where am I? I looked around at my surroundings. I saw bare, white walls.

Was I in a hospital?

Suddenly the wooden door creaked open and an averaged sized girl walked in. She had brown hair and eyes. She was wearing an orange shirt that said 'Camp Half-Blood'

"Sorry 'bout that" said the Girl "My name is Mira. Mira Sandings."

"Where am I?"

"It will be explained…in due time" said Mira she held her hand up and said "Come on, Chiron will want to talk to you."

The girl who called herself Mira helped me to my feet and gently guided me past several hallways and into a room.

It appears to be a normal living room. The walls were painted a Sky Blue colored. A wooden cherry table and several chairs surrounding it sat in the middle of the room. A light brown sofa was pushed against a wall and directly across from it was a desk and a swivel chair. A man in a wheelchair wearing a tweed jacket, a girl with auburn hair wearing the same orange shirt as Mira, a boy with a solid green cap with…yes, you guessed it, the orange shirt, and finally a man with hair so black it had tinge of purple and he was wearing a leopard skin jacket, they were seated around the table and they seemed to be playing some sort of card game.

The man in the wheelchair turned around and smiled softly at me.

"Please sit." as he gestured to the sofa on the side.

I sat down hesitantly…who were these people and where the heck am I?

"Do you mind if you answer a few questions?" said the man called in the wheelchair.

"Um…sure." Now call me crazy for saying yes to a complete stranger but I am gullible.

"Your Name Please."

"Megera Collins"

"Mortal Parent or Guardian?"

"You say that like one of my parents isn't mortal!"

"That will be explained in time"

"Damian Collins"

"Address and Contact Method?"

"Sun Stream Drive, Corpus Christi, TX and 214-874-8991 is my home phone number."

"Okay, well I think we should get acquainted now." said the man in the wheelchair. "You can call me Chiron"

"Arbor Acre" said the boy with the green cap.

"Lillian Quelp" said the girl in Auburn hair.

"That's Mr.D" said Chiron as he pointed to the man in the leopard skin jacket.

"Hello Megan, I hope you have a horrible time here." Said the one called Mr.D.

"Okay…so…why am I here?" I replied.

"Megera…how to put this gently…the Greek Gods are real" said Mira.

"WHAT! You're all INSANE!" I yelled.

"Megera, please allow me to explain" said Chiron in a calm voice. He sounded like he dealt with this before. "The gods in Greek Mythology are alive. They are all very real. What was the most famous thing Lord Zeus was famous for?"

"Um…pissing off Hera? Being lord of the universe?"

"True, but how did he 'piss off' Hera" said Chiron.

"By…hooking up with humans and having a lot of children that weren't Hera's?"

"Yes, correct. Do you remember the term for Heroes that were half human and half god?"

"Half-Blood or Demigod"

"Hence the name of this camp. And Megera…you are a Demigod."

A/N- This certainly isn't one of my better chapters. I feel like this is too fast paced…and short. The ending was rather weak. Nevertheless behold the first chapter! Please tell me if Chiron was OOC. Thanks!
