Chapter 2

I Finally Get Some Answers

I heard a bird's croak and realized it was Kix. My pet bird was a white-necked raven, he was a wild bird, but he came to me one day, and he stuck to me ever since. We always seemed to be able to understand how each other was feeling at the moment. I opened my eyes and realized I was still outside my school. Then the previous events started to fill my head, I looked for the older girl, hoping she had not left and noticed her a few feet away from me by the water fountain. I realized that she was a junior at my school; I had seen her a few times with the other upperclassmen in the hallways and at lunch. She had it on and was splashing the water and in the air where some of the water was flying appeared some figure that she was talking to. I heard her say,

"I've seen her before at my school Chiron, but I wasn't sure."

Then the figure in the mist said, "Well bring her here as soon as you can."

She replied, "I will as soon as she wakes up, she seems to just have passed out from the previous situation and will probably be up in a few minutes."

Then I decided to open my mouth as I sat up and said, "Take me where?"

She turned her head to me and the said to the figure in the mist behind her, "Chiron I have to go now, I will see you at camp soon."

The figure replied, "I will send some transportation to you now."

The image behind her faded as the water was no longer there. She looked at me as if in thought and sighed, "How do I start?"

"Start what?" I asked.

"Explaining."

"Explaining what?"

She let out an exasperated sigh and ran her fingers through her short light brown wavy hair that only reached her shoulders. I noticed that she had put blonde highlights in it. She sat down beside me and said, "Have you ever seen things you couldn't explain or creatures that you could see but no one else could?"

I looked at her and stuttered, "How, how …how did you know?"

"Because you and me are demigods."

"Demigods- what is that?"

"Demigods. You know the stories that the Greeks and Romans told about gods who controlled the world?"

I remembered it; I always found the stories pretty interesting. And when my school offered Greek as a foreign language, I took it because I enjoyed the stories of Greek mythology and it was pretty much the only class that I was getting a good grade in. I actually had a B in it. I responded, "Yes."

"Well those gods exist and sometimes they ugh…umm...they go and fall in love with mortals and have children that are half-bloods; half-god and half-human. Also known as demigods like you and me."

I stared at her shocked, but I guess this explained so much of my life and I wanted an explanation for all those moments in my life. I looked at her and said, "So then who is your godparent, umm…What your name?"

"My name is Haylee," she replied "Haylee Karson; my mother was a mortal named Katrina Karson and my dad is Hermes."

"Well, my name is Shiloh Dimitri, but you can call me by my nickname Shy. So then who's my god parent?" I asked.

"I don't know, you should have been claimed by your god parent when you were thirteen, but maybe since you seemed to have never been attacked before they agreed to leave you be, since you were actually fine, that is probably why you are unclaimed."

I wasn't sure what to say, so I looked at her and said, "Where are we going?"

"I'm gonna take you to Camp Half-Blood. There you will be taught how to defend yourself and fight against monsters and others in battle because now it seems that they can smell you. And hopefully you will be sent on quests."

I didn't bother to ask what 'they' was because I understood it was that dog thing and whatever other evil things there were. I figured I would learn what exactly quests were later.

The she said, "I need to take you to Camp now, Chiron will be sending us a ride …oh never mind here it comes."

I then noticed that up in the sky, there was a black horse with wings, (A/N: Sorry guys it's not Blackjack. :[) it landed beside us and looked at Haylee. She turned to me and said, "Chello is here to take us to camp."(A/N: She can't speak with horses like Percy, she has known the horse and that is how she knew his name.)

She then proceeded to get on his back. Then she waited for me to get on, but I stayed rooted firmly in my place. "Aren't you going to get on?"

I replied, "What about my mom, I mean I believe you and all, but my mother. She is going to freak when she doesn't see me at home and how do I explain 'Hey mom I have to go now because I found out my father is a god. I got attacked by an evil dog after school today and was saved by this junior with a sword. Then the girl said I have to go somewhere to get training. I don't know how long I will be gone, so see ya soon."

She looked at me coolly, "First of all, why do you think you were safe, it was because you had a reek of other animals, but its fading. Your mother obviously knew how to protect you by covering your scent. And all the mothers or fathers of demigods usually find out that their child's mother or father is a god. And I bet your mother told you that when you were little and experienced seemingly real dreams that they were nothing, but something created of your mind."

I looked at her shocked probably with a how-did-you-know look on my face. She then continued, "Besides you can stay for just the summers and live a in the 'mortal world' during the school year like I do, or you can live at the Camp all year long like a few of the other campers. If you come to camp you can Iris-message your mom when your there and let her know what has happened to you. So are you coming or not? I can assure you that if you stay you will probably be attacked soon enough."

I decided that I was not in the mood to die anytime soon so I got on the Pegasus's back. And before I could do anything it lifted off.

Hi everyone again! Thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate and I will try to keep any grammar errors to a minimum. I totally understand that no enjoys reading a story that is not neat and has many errors in punctuation. Since I updated so soon, I am hoping to get at least three reviews before the next chapter.

Avoir un jour de soeil,

P.S.- At first I wasn't sure what point of view to use, but you all seem to enjoy first person and I'm glad. Thanks so much for all your support!
