After many revisions of Chapter 1 I've written Chapter 2! Please, enjoy:
I woke up in an oh so comfortable bed. I opened my eyes to see whitewashed walls surrounding the bed. A small side table was next to me. On top of the table was a glass of caramel liquid. After realizing how dry my mouth was I grabbed the drink, and gulped it furiously. The taste warmed my whole body. Florida Orange Juice. My favorite. I was almost done the whole glass when I realized what had previously happened. The musical, A.J., and that hideous snake.
I panicked.
I jumped out of the bed and ran straight for the door. I opened it to see A.J. I was so relieved to see his familiar face, but as soon as a looked down I freaked. Where his baggy cargo pants should be, were two hairy goat legs. Cloven hooves and all.
"Now Cory, before you freak out let me explain", A.J. told me.
"You better have a good explanation, or I'm gonna flip", I said.
He took a deep breath, then begun. "Remember in English, when we read the Odyssey?"
I nodded.
"Remember Circe, the Sirens, and all those other Greek Myths?"
I nodded again.
"Well…. They're real"
I stared at him. "There is no way your telling the truth."
"Then explain why my bottom half is of an animal", he said. "I'm part goat. A satyr!"
I totally forgot that major detail. I thought to myself. Could he be telling the truth? Could the world of gods, heroes, and monsters really be real?
"Well, if this, what your telling me is real, were do I come in? I'm just a human."
"You're more than a human", he told me. "You're a demi-god."
I took it better than you would think. Sure I was a little confused, but I always knew I was special...or something like that.
"Well I know my mom is really my mother, so who's my godly dad?", I asked.
I excitedly waited for an answer. "Well… I don't know yet", he said. "You're undetermined so you'll go in the Hermes Cabin for now."
I absorbed everything as best as I could.
"How are you feeling", he asked.
"One hundred percent better", I said, "but it'll take some time to fully get used to this. So what do we do now."?
"It's time to meet Chiron."
X~O~X~O~X~O~X
"Ah, Cory Michaels. Nice to finally meet you."
I remembered Chiron from my English class so I prepared myself before meeting him. If you don't know, Chiron is a centaur. He was sitting on the porch playing cards with a plump, short, dark haired man. A.J. leaned toward me.
"That's Mr.D", he told me, "try not to get on his bad side."
I made a mental note.
"I assume A.J. has told you the basics?", Chiron asked.
"Yep", I said.
"Good, well I've sent Daphne to visit the camp store to get you some clothing and toiletries. Oh good, here she come now."
A girl about my age with strawberry-blonde hair came walking down the hill. She was goregeous, and as she dropped of the orange nylon bag I couldn't help to blush. She smiled, and walked away from the table. A.J. could tell I was staring and nudged me. We shared a secret chuckle.
"Look, Charlie", Mr. D said, "I don't wantany trouble making."
"It C-o-r-e-y", I said annoyed, "And yeah, I'll be good."
Right when I answered Mr. D a loud shock in the ground came from the opposite side of the hill.
Yay, another cliffie. Sorry for Chapt. 1 being so short, ill make it up. And do I smell love in the air? 3 I'd also like to thank Sheva Das for editing advice.
