AN: Heyy! I'm back! I can't believe people are actually reading this. Anyways hope you like this new chapter and also I forgot to mention it but the story right now takes place right before the BotL so… Yea. And sorry if Skylar seems too Mary-Sue. I'm still working on that. :/ That's pretty much it. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Still not mine yet… Still Rick Riordan's… The only thing that's mine is Skylar and the plot… lol.

I did the normal thing any person would do if their teacher turned into some freak snake lady and tried to kill them. I screamed as loud as I could and ran, but not fast enough. The sword sliced across my left cheek and I could taste the blood.

As I thought, Danny was waiting outside the door for me and I ran straight into him when I bolted out of the room. I fell on top of him and he started asking me a bunch of questions.

"Skylar? What happened? What did Mrs. Keller do? Where is Mrs. Keller? Did you…" He trailed off. The last part was because he saw the monster that wanted to kill me. And probably him now. Oops.

"Oh my gods, a Skythian Dracanae. This isn't possible." He murmured.

"What?" I managed to squeak out. My cheek started to bleed even more.

Danny looked at me and I could see the fear in his eyes. "Skylar. We have to leave. Now."

He got up and reached in his backpack and got out… Were those pipes? He pulled me up and started playing a musical tune and all of a sudden, all the lockers in the hallway banged open and various things flew out of them and attacked Mrs. Keller. A binder hit me on the head.

"Let's go!" He yelled. He grabbed my hand and we ran. Out of school, all the way to my house. I heard an explosion behind us as we ran and Mrs. Keller's enraged screams. That just made me run faster.

Danny pushed open the door and ran inside, me close behind him. I tripped on the way in and rolled my ankle.

"Danny! What's going on?" I yelled at him.

My mom heard the commotion and ran out of the kitchen. "Skylar? Danny? What's happening?"

"That's what I'd like to know!" I replied.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Rocaine but Skylar has to leave. Right NOW." Danny said, panicking.

My mom seemed to understand and told me, "Skylar, go pack a week's worth of clothes. I don't think you'll be coming back here any time soon. GO!"

What? What did she mean I wouldn't be coming back? This was my house.

I threw a bunch of clothes into my backpack after dumping out my school supplies. Wouldn't be needing those at… wherever I was going. I got all my toiletries and put those in the bag too. Then I went downstairs where Danny and my mom were waiting, looking VERY worried.

"So… anyone want to tell me where I'm going?" I asked hopefully, trying to get something out of them. No luck.

Danny grabbed my backpack and ran out while my mom took my hand and told me, "Don't worry. You'll be safe soon." Then we ran to the car.

My mom jumped into the driver's seat and me and Danny got in the back. Then she sped off. We passed my school, which now had police cars and people from the press surrounding it. I saw the entire left wing had been blown up. Was that me? People would probably assume so. Well so much for making it through a whole school year without being expelled.

As soon as we got on the freeway, the cars began to blur as if we were going twice as fast as them.

"Your father's blessing" My mom murmured.

"What!" I said.

My mom seemed to realize she said that out loud and sighed. "I guess this is as good a time as any to tell you… Skylar, have you ever heard of the Greek gods?"

"Yea…" I didn't understand where this was going. What did a bunch of old gods have to do with the fact that I freaking blew up a freaking school.

She bit her lip. "Well… sweetie, I'm not sure how to say this but… they're real. And… um… sometimes they come down to earth and… have children with mortals." She looked back at me to see how I was taking it.

I looked back with a blank expression. What did a god and mortal having a child have to do with anything? It's not like I was one. It would make a good story but there was no way that it was true.

"Hold on. What are you saying?" I asked impatiently. That was another thing about me. I hated waiting. Being still, not doing something, it absolutely drove me crazy.

"You… are a demigod Skylar." She said. She looked scared, like I would go insane or something.

I burst out laughing. "Seriously? Where are the hidden cameras? And how did you get the school to look like it blew up?" I asked, eyebrows raised.

My mom's gave me a pained expression that confirmed that this was actually real and my jaw dropped open. My dad was a god. My dad is a god. This was not happening. This was just another dream. But deep inside, I knew that wasn't true. This was who I was. I was a freaking demigod.

She sighed and turned back to the road. Danny gave me a sad look.

"I'm sorry. A demigod's life is never easy. We're going to camp now. It's the only safe place for people like us."

"People like us? You're a demigod?" I asked incredulously.

"Well… not exactly. Anyways, the camp's in New York, near Long Island."

New York? I lived in California. This was gonna take forever. And if we ran into another monster that was half as bad as Mrs. Keller, I didn't like our chances. I sighed and looked out the window. I looked out the window and saw a sign that said Welcome to Nevada. It was a blur but I'm positive that's what it said. How did we get from Malibu to Nevada in 10 minutes?

AN: Figure out who her dad is yet?

I was seriously going to have a headache after this was over, if it ever ended. After about an hour, I saw a sign that told me we were entering New York. How the hell was that possible?

We kept driving and reached an isolated area where it was pretty quiet. It was just an old road with trees on either side that led up to a hill with a single tree with a thick cord around it.

We stopped at the base of the hill and my mom rushed me and Danny out of the car. Suddenly we heard a roar from the trees on the right of us. There was a sound like an explosion and then a tree fell.

My mom's face paled. "No. It can't be. Skylar, this is as far as I can go. You need to run up that hill with Danny as fast as you can and don't stop! When you get there, you need to get help and stay out of trouble. I love you my brave girl. Stay safe." Then she got in the car and backed up so fast, she ran the car into a tree and the back bumper fell off.

By this point I was hysterical. She just… left. That was it. Danny grabbed my hand and started pulling me up the hill, getting me out of my shock.

But that happened to be the exact moment the… Bull? The bull decided to come out of the trees and throw one at us. It landed in front of us and I screamed.

Danny looked back and turned pale. "The Colchis Bull? That can't be."

Well news flash! It could be and it was!

"Skylar, cover me. Just watch the bull." He told me.

"Right. Got it. Watch the bull. Kinda hard to miss the bull." I replied nervously. It was about the size of an elephant, and its skin looked like bronze. It also had horns made of silver and rubies.

Danny came back next to me and I screamed. He had taken off his pants and he had the legs and feet of a goat. I almost fainted on the spot. He looked at the bull which was now closer to us and whimpered. He looked like he was about to pass out from fright and I was guessing he wouldn't be of much help. If I didn't do anything we would both die.

"Danny. Go. I'll take care of it here." He looked like he was going to protest when I said, "Go! Go get help! I'll keep it distracted." Then he ran off.

The bull turned to me. Uh oh. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to send Danny away. But I couldn't bring myself to put him in trouble. I was stubborn that way. I'd do anything to make sure my friends… or friend didn't get hurt.

The bull snorted and charged at me. I looked around for something, anything, that I could use. I picked up the fallen bumper from my mom's car and swung it just in time. The bull fell back and made a hollow sound. I realized it actually was made of bronze. It didn't seem to like that though. It swatted me aside like rag doll. From there, I let my instincts take over. It lunged, I sidestepped. It slashed, I ducked.

Then I made a fatal mistake. The bull charged, and I jumped. It grabbed my foot and threw me onto the ground with a sickly crunch. I started coughing up blood. Then it chucked the bumper into the woods. There goes my only weapon. It came up to me and picked me up by my neck with its hands. My face began to turn blue and I couldn't breathe.

This is it. This is the end. At least Danny and my mom made it out ok.

Behind the bull, I saw Danny running (or trotting) down the hill with another boy as fast as he could. Just when I thought my neck would be crushed and I'd choke to death, an arrow sparking with electricity appeared from the bull's head, where its main control panel must have been. Its grip on me slackened and it disintegrated, and I fell, hitting my head on the trunk of a fallen tree.

Danny and the boy finally reached me. He had blonde surfer hair and was tan, like he spent his life at the beach. He was pretty well built too, like an athlete. His eyes were bright blue and he had a worried expression on his face.

"Oh no. No no no. Quick! We have to get her to the infirmary! Come on Skylar, stay with us, please!" Danny said.

The boy gingerly picked me up bridal style, like he was afraid that he would break me even more if he made the wrong move. I looked into his sky blue eyes, filled with worry and determination. His shirt had blood on it, my blood.

The severity of my injuries finally kicked in and I began to feel pain like I never had before. My head throbbed and I had infinite cuts and bruises. My vision began to blur and I groaned. Ouch, even that hurt.

The boy started running to the top of the hill and I could faintly hear Danny in the background screaming for help and… Chiron? What? I felt the presence of many others start to surround me but never once did the boy who saved me leave.

Then I blacked out.

AN: Did it suck? Someone tell me if it sucked! *sigh* Will is 17 right now and Skylar is 15 if anyone was wondering… and that's pretty much it. So ya! And does anyone want to co-author? PM me! I could use all the help I can get! And was that better at making Skylar not too Mary-Sue? Review and give me any suggestions you want cus I really need ideas! Love ya!
