I own nothing

A child of night

I woke up to find myself in a bed, I didn't know where I was and the place didn't seem familiar. I got out of the bed hoping that I may find answers but all I found was the floor as my legs gave way.

"Ouch. That hurt." I said wondering when I had been hit by a wrecking ball, just then the contents of last night flooded back into my mind. Artemis, Apollo, the monster, and of course finding out my mother was a Greek goddess.

As I tried to get up the door opened to reveal Artemis, Apollo, and another man I didn't know, wait, scratch that, men don't have hooves and tails, this guy was a centaur!!

"Well it seems that you are up Miss Prow. Welcome to camp Half- Blood." The Centaur said. I was at a shock for words, but I wanted to know where I was.

"Excuse me but what's camp Half- Blood?" I asked curiously. I thought about the Centaur, for one thing wanting to know his name, and wanting to know more about this "Camp" as they called it.

"Camp Half- Blood is a place where demigods, I am Chiron by the way, I guess you could call me a counselor, like you, train to become heroes. It is one of the only places a demigod child can be safe. And also a demigod is a child between a god or goddess and a human. You see the Greek Gods are still alive my dear Lynia and they move with western civilization. Right now Olympus is on top of the Empire State Building." He stated all of this with a straight face I had to believe him.

"Why don't we get you settled into Aphrodite's cabin, Silena will take over from here." He said as a very perky looking blonde came up, probably expecting a blonde overly happy sister and instead getting a sister that looked more like a vampire, than a love type of gal.

"Hi I'm Silena; I guess you're my sister huh." She said seeming way to overly happy. I can tell we'll be great friends." She told me taking my hands. And in them, I felt truth and understanding, just like when my mother had claimed me.

"Thank you very much. Wait! What about my dad he must be worried sick about me." I said looking at Chiron.

"Your father has been informed of your presence here. He will see you at the end of the summer, unless you wish to become a year rounder." He said, huh, it kind of figures my dad didn't tell me, he had always said that things come when it is time for them. So I held no grudge against my father for not telling me.

As Silena and I left the cabin I saw two people, a girl about maybe a year or two younger than me (A/N she's seventeen.) she had long blonde hair and storm gray eyes, she was pretty and kinda small, she seemed kind. Next to the girl was a guy about her age, shaggy black hair and deep sea green eyes, the two of them seemed to be having an argument over something, and that's probably what most where looking at, but me, I was looking at the string between the two of them. The string I was looking at was deep red, and seemed to surge with power, it connected the two of them. It connected their souls to one another. I didn't know it at the time, but what I was seeing was the loves link. It appeared when the two that are meant for each other. Growing and becoming stronger, the stronger the love grows. And from what I saw from the two fighting, they had a very, very strong bond.

That night I slept in Aphrodite's cabin with all of my brother's and sisters. I thought when I went to sleep I would feel comfort, but that night I had a dream, a dream that had not had for months.

I was running don an alley way trying to escape a monster, it was a little before sunset, as I turned the corner I bumped into a man, he was tall ad powerful. He grabbed my wrists and covered my mouth before the thought to scream passed my mind. I tried to fight back but, he was too strong. H dragged me to an alley way and….

I woke up screaming in a cold sweat. I was crying and all I could see was that mans evil smile as he laughed at my pain.

"Lynia, are you okay?" said a frantic Silena as the rest of the cabin crowded around me. My head started to hurt. Too many people, too many voices, I had to leave.

"I'm fine just leave me the hell alone!" I yelled holding my head in my hands, as the tears poured out. "Just get away from me!!!" I screamed, wanting them to go away. I ran out of the cabin into the woods, not caring what I would find, I kept running until I reached a large tree and sat next to it crying. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Poor child, you must feel so afraid." Said a voice, and as I looked up I saw a beautiful woman. She had hair as black as a raven's feather and was wearing dark jeans and a black sweater two sizes to big. But on her it looked really good.

"Who are you?" I asked wiping away the tears, wondering if she may have been my mother.

"Why, my dear I am you great, great grandmother. The Goddess of Night personified. Nyx." She said to me with smiling eyes.
