Chapter 2
A/N: Sorry that last chapter was shorter than expected.. However I am thinking of ideas so suggestions are welcome! This is going to be a long chapter soo.. yea.. Okay, enough with this. ENJOY!
As I was ushered into the car, Mom had told us what happened. Once we pulled up in the parking lot of the hospital Mom said in a firm tone," Wait here. Chris look after her." Her voice clearly commanded my brother and I.
After 30 agonizing minutes, I had enough.
"Bye Chris!" I whispered and sprinted off into the hospital. I didn't look back in case Chris was following me.
I burst through the doors sensing dread everywhere, but pulling me was my own fear. Fear of a loved one dying. Fear of sadness. Fear of destruction. I look everywhere, until two rooms caught my eye. Door one, I carefully open it, and almost scream out of terror. By now I am sure I am hallucinating because there was a monster. In a dark room and looked at me with red, blood-filled, eyes. It looks like it might attack but something is holding it back. But what? I discard that thought and I quickly shut the door and enter Door two.
BINGO!
I see them. The thought of the monster immediately is gone. Mom, who is crying, and Dad, who is asl- dead. I know it., but with a doctor who looked like a kid. I rush inside but picking up pieces of the conversation.
It will be fine... Let her go.. Come with us. .
"Mom?" Her head snaps up and looks at me with sadness, "Dad has passed right?"
The doctor looks shocked and eyes me slowly. " Yes, sadly he has. Hi, I am Dr. Solace, by the way."
"I am Delliro, age 3" I don't have a clue why I am telling the doctor this but I feel like I can trust him. My teal nail polish glows as if agreeing with me.
"Nice to meet you, Delliro. Now tell me, why are you so pale?" Dr. Solace asks.
Instantly, images of that monster in Door one had appeared. "In the room next door, Door one, there was a black monster with red eyes and something holding it back.." I say shaking. All he does is nod. I feel another soul rising and see my mom, now covered in blood. I scream and Dr. Solace turns, shocked.
He then saw a odd shaped bull charging toward us. Magically, a figure appears next to me and Dr. Solace lets an arrow fly. The bull had exploded into dust leaving me parentless and in a room with two strangers.
The other boy, the one who came out of the shadows, had seen me.
"W-W-Was t-that a M-minotaur?" I say stuttering. All eyes are now laid upon me.
(*_*)
The doctor's name is Will, and the other was Nico. Yes, it was a minotaur but with them I now feel safe with them so I told them my story. About the nail polish and my suspicions of a family.
As if testing me Nico had said "Parli italiano" ( meaning, do you speak Italian.. GOOGLE TRANSLATE)
"Si" ( Sorry I don't remember how to do the symbol on top..) I replied. Even though it felt forgein on my tougne I roughly remember how to speak. Then I realized I left Chris. I jumped out of the window with out any warning and landed with only a sprained ankle.
(*_*)
Moments after the greeting, she jumped. Delliro JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW. Did she have a death wish?
As I ran towards the window, to see if she is okay, I see her limping to... Grover? As I wave he takes notice and somehow gets Delliro back into the room.
(*_*)
Chris! I limp over to him while he picks me up and returns us to the place where I jumped. While I sit, I notice that Will and Nico both know Chris.
"Hey Chris?" I ask, "Do you know them?"
As he sighs he takes off his 'shoes' to reveal hooves. "My name is Grover and I was your 'brother' for a while" Like as in a Satyr! I gasp and Will comes over to look at my right ankle, I hum to myself "Fight Song" by Rachel Platen. There is a warm feeling in my ankle and now I could move it.
However the shock on Nico's face is quite concerning. It not like I haven't done it before.
"Let's get you to a.. summer camp, it's called Camp Half-Blood an-" I cut him off
"Half-Blood? As in the one in San Francisco?" It can't be. Dad had said it was fake, a strawberry field.
"Yes the one there. Let's get going." Will declares.
_A/N: Ok so that was long. I hope you enjoyed chapter two! Sorry, It was loong..
