The New Demigods in Town
CHAPTER 2
The ride in Mr. Overwood's car seemed to take forever and the girls questions went on forever.
"What's Camp Half-Blood and why are you taking us there?" Bianca asked.
"Camp Half-Blood is obviously where half-bloods or demigods like you go," Mr. Overwood answered like he had heard these questions a million times before.
"What do you mean like us, Overwood," Penny questioned.
"Please call me…"
"I don't care. Just answer my question."
"Fine. Like you I mean half-blood. You know like half god, half mortal ergo… Half-blood."
"Wait, you think that we're half-bloods. That's got to be a mistake. There has to be a logical explanation for all of this," Penny pointed at Bianca and her eyes.
"Well that's the truth. Your mom or dad is an Olympian god or goddess."
"You mean like Zeus and Athena?" asked Bianca.
"Yes, but we try not to say their names aloud."
"Oh. So you're saying that the gods are our parents."
"One of them is," Mr. Overwood seemed to notice that Penny was very quite. More quite than usual.
"Hey Penny, are you okay?" Mr. Overwood asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," Penny replied.
But to tell you the truth she wasn't fine at all. "It's just that I've never seen my dad before. There's no picture's of him anywhere. My mom always told me he was an important man but she never told me he was a god."
"That's because once you know who you actually are, your sent becomes stronger to monster," Mr. Overwood explained.
"Are you a half-blood?" asked Bianca.
"No, I'm a satyr. You know half man, half goat."
"Ugh! What is with you people? Half this, half that. Can't anything be whole?" laughed Penny.
Mr. Overwood looked offended.
"Hey Mr. Overwood. How much longer until we get to Camp Half-Blood?" asked Bianca.
"I don't know but…" Mr. Overwood was cut off when he heard something behind them.
"What was that?" Penny whispered.
"I don't know but it doesn't sound good," Bianca whispered back.
