Lily met up with me as I exited class. She had a look on her face that said she was still mad at me.
"Look, Lily," I said trying to reason with her, "I know your still mad at me about what happened with Ryan, but I can't end off school with you hatting me. Please, forgive me?"
Lily had a far away look on her face but finally said, "OK, I forgive you. I tried to stay mad but I couldn't. Anyways, I have a place to take you right now. It's an emergency."
"I actually have to go to detention," I said walking off to the detention room, "but afterwards,ok?"
Lily grabbed my wrist and pulled me back and screamed out,"NO! FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY WE HAVE TO GO NOW!" I looked at her aghast at her outburst.
Out of nowhere Ryan comes from behind Lily with a scowl on his face, "Where does she have to go and why is she not safe, Lily?" How he said it sent a chill up my spine. I never knew he could have a voice that sounded like a thousand voices. Lily, startled, jumped behind me.
Ryan still had a scowl on his face but as he turned towards me his face softened and said,"Hey Lapis, I'll walk you to detention and stay with you. Afterward we'll go to Vermilion Palace. Ok?"
Still startled by his voice I stammered, "A-Actually Mr. Ruppert said to go alone and I already promised Lily I'll go with her afterwards."
Ryan's face darkened but his voice stayed the same, "Fine. I'll wait outside of school for you." He turned towards Lily and said, "Why don't you join me?"
Lily had a very scared look on her face but managed to say, "No thanks I'll wait inside the school in Mrs. Cherries classroom."
Ryan once again using the voice that sounded like thousands said, "Well then, I'll join you." Lily was clearly distraught but didn't argue. As I made my way to the detention room I wondered why Lily was so scared of Ryan. As I entered the room, Mr. Ruppert was waiting for me.
"Late again are we Ms. Limestone," Mr. Ruppert said looking up from his newspaper, "since I don't want to stay here anymore than I have to I won't increase you time with me." Releaved I took my seat on a chair facing Mr. Ruppert. It was awkward just him staring at me and me staring at him. Finally, he looked back at his newspaper. As I was waiting for the hour to be up I heard an explosion coming from Mrs. Cherries classroom that shook the whole building. I fell off my desk and landed and the ground with my arm right under me. I howled in pain as I heard my arm snap. Mr. Ruppert fell off his desk as well but landed on his bum.
He yelled out,"JESUS CRHIST WHAT WAS THAT?!" As he said this Lily appeared in the doorway with ashes on her face and clothes and a wild eyed expression, "WE NEED TO GO NOW LAPIS BEFORE HE COMES AFTER YOU!" As she said this another explosion came and a hole appeared in the wall right behind me. What emerged was terrifying. Imagine the dark, slender man, a spider, and the boogie man combined. Now multiply that by 50. That won't even come close to what appeared in the wall. As it inched closer towards me Lily leaped inside the classroom, pulled me by my bad arm which I howled in pain once again, and we ran out of the building. By then sirens were blasting through the air and the sidewalks were crowded with students and pedestrians who were looking at the school in pure terror. The school was lit up with fire and smoke was oozing out of the doors, windows, and even broken down walls. As the monster came into view going way faster than before towards me, Lily was now sprinting into the woods with me and I heard in the distance screaming students and pedestrians.
"WHAT THE-WHAT IS THAT?!?" A voice screamed that I recognized was a friend named Martha. As we continued to go deeper in the woods, the monster got closer and closer. Lily noticed this and pulled out reed pipes. I was confused to as why she had them in the first place but she started playing them. As she played them, vines sprouted from the ground behind me and grew 30 feet long and 10 feet wide. This slowed the monster significantly but it seemed to drain Lily.
"What-How did you?" I asked looking at Lily and then the vines. She seemed to be tired so I tried to help her up on my good arm. We traveled a long way and I was exhausted. We eventually got to New York and I know because we passed a sign that said "Welcome to New York" but that was hours ago. Lily was better by then and she was guiding me along through the woods. As we neared Long Island, I noticed something in the shadows. I thought nothing about it at the moment but Lily also noticed this and became frightened.
She urged me forward and said, "Let's move on. We are coming real close."
I don't know what came over me but at that moment I was confused, scared, tired, and frustrated so I snapped, "LILY!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS HAPPENING!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, WHAT WAS THAT THING AT SCHOOL, WHERE ARE WE GOING, AND WHAT HAPPENED TO RYAN!! YOU ARE LEAVING ME IN THE DARK AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT AT ALL!!
Lliy slightly startled at my outbreak replied calmly, "That 'thing' is a King Chimera, we are going to Camp Half-Blood, and what happened to Ryan...well...he's the King Chimera." Surprised by her replies I stayed quiet.
After a few minutes of silence I finally asked, "Lily, what is Camp Half-Blood?"
She turned facing me with a big goofy grin on her face and gestured over a hill with a humongous camp and said, "This is Camp Half-Blood!"
