The taxi Terri slid into had to win the award of 'Weirdest Taxi Ever'. There were three old, wrinkly ladies in front who were squabbling about an eye and a tooth. The seats were green and scaly, like they were made of dragon hide or something. Overhead, a recording played about buckling up, Terri really didn't listen to it.

"Give me the eye!" One of the ladies cried, grappling at her companions.

"You had the eye last time!" Another one of them argued.

"Excuse me," Anne said, pursing her lips. "EXCUSE ME!"

"What do you want half-blood?" The first lady growled.

Anne sighed." Take us to Camp HalfBlood."

Terri squealed as the car jerked off to a start, definitely going over the speed limit. It jumped curbs almost running over pedestrians and drifted into the other lane as the three old ladies bickered for an eye and a tooth. Terri clutched her stomach, convinced that she was going to throw up any second. Anne looked worse then her though. Her normal pale skin was even paler and had a green tint.

"Sorry," Anne choked out. "But this was the fastest way to Camp."

Terri didn't reply, afraid she would throw up. She put her head between her knees, starting to regret trusting her friend. Just as an overpowering wave of nausea hit her, the taxi jerked to a stop, flinging Terri and Anne against their seats.

"Ugh,"Anne groaned, scrambling out of the taxi.

As Terri was crawling out after her friend one of the bickering ladies looked at her and said. "We shall see you soon Muse." She cackled and the taxi sped away, leaving the girls.

Terri looked out at the scene before her, clutching her bag to her chest. A huge,magnificent pine tree graced the large hill, a glittering golden piece of cloth hanging from its' branches. A slumbering big, scaly thing was curled around the tree,streams of smoke coming out of its' nostrils.

Terri yelped."What is that thing?"

"Don't worry," Anne said," Pelus won't hurt you... As long as he isn't hungry of course."

Terri just stared at her friend, at a loss for words. She followed Anne down the hill, being sure to give the monster a wide berth. Her friend led her to a big sky blue ranch house. An older man in a wheelchair sat at a table, sipping what looked like tea, with a pudgy looking man in a purple and leopard print track suit.

"Oh great, another brat," The pudgy man muttered, glaring at Terri like she was the cause of world hunger.

"Mr. D," The other man said.

"Fine,fine, I was just saying."Mr.D muttered under his breath.

The other man looked at Anne. "Where did you find her, Anne?"

Anne was about to answer when Terri cut in. "Whoa,whoa,wait. I am here, I can answer for myself!"

The man stared at her clearly amused. "I am Chiron. Anne, why don't you take her to see the video."

"What video?"

Anne ignored her." I don't think it would help her Chiron. She's to hard-headed."

Terri glared at her friend.

"Yes, we shall explain then."

Chiron motioned for her and Anne to sit down and Terri did so warily, eyeing Mr.D cautiously. He didn't seem threatening on the outside, but Terri felt like she should respect him or she would be turned into an animal.

" Do you know any Greek myths?" Chiron asked.

Terri nodded. "Like Hera,Zeus, and Apollo?"

"Names are powerful things girl."Mr.D hissed, as thunder boomed ominously.

"Well," Chiron continued. "The gods are real, they have

-How do I say this?-affairs with mortals and halfbloods,or demigods, come are a demigod."

Terri laughed. "Haha really funny Anne,"

"We are not joking girl." Mr.D said.

Terri rolled her eyes. "They are just stories to explain the seasons and stuff like that."

"How would you like it if someone called you a myth?"

Terri looked at Anne who had a sympathetic look on her face."Anne, this is...real?"

Anne nodded."Ter, you're a demigod like I am."

"Who is my godly parent then?"Terri asked.

"We won't know until you turn thirteen."

Terri swallowed."I turn thirteen next week."

Terri was still having a hard time believing this, she still thought of it as a it wasn't funny now, Anne knew how sensitive she was about her dad. Why would Anne play a joke on her about it? She wasn't cruel or heartless,Anne was kind and sweet;the perfect friend. Besides, Terri's mom always said that her dad had died in an accident, what kind of accident her mom never said. A part of Terri resented her mom for that. She had the right to know how her dad died, who he was,what he looked like. But now, these people were telling her that she was the daughter of some Greek god. How could she be the child of a greek god? She barely made Cs, because she had ADHD and dyslexia, if she really was the daughter of a Greek god she would be perfect in every way. Wouldn't she?

Anne looked at her sympathetically. "I know it is hard to believe,Terri. But it is all have dyslexia because your brain is hard-wired for Ancient Greek not English and your ADHD is your natural battle reflexes."

"Battle reflexes? Anne, I can barely walk ten feet without tripping! How do I have battle reflexes?"

Anne shook her head. "You do,"

Terri stared at her friend."Why don't you show her around camp, Anne? And get her settled into the Hermes Cabin."

Anne nodded, standing up and leading Terri away.

"There is something odd about that demigod,Chiron. She seems familiar." Mr.D said as Terri and Anne walked said something else but Terri couldn't make it out.

Terri trailed after her friend, her eyes wide with awe. The whole camp was like a normal summer camp, but it looked like it was fused with Greek stuff. There was this huge amphitheater that looked like it was from ancient Greece itself;an archery range with people in bright orange t-shirts that said 'Camp Halfblood';a big outdoor pavilion that had twelve marble tables in it and a huge fire pit in the center; and dozens of cabins that were sprawled out on the green grass.

One group of cabins was in a huge U. Anne said that it was the cabins for the children of the major twelve Olympian gods. Each was related to its owner. One was a huge marble cabin that looked more like a castle then a was a life-sized pink Barbie-Dream was also a blood red cabin with barbwire lining it like Christmas lights.

"I though Hera and Artemis didn't have kids." Terri said suddenly.

Anne grinned."The cabins are just honorary."

"Oh," Terri said. "Which one is yours?"

Anne nodded in the direction of the pink cabin."Aphrodite is my mom."

"The goddess of love and beauty?"

Anne nodded."Can't you see it?"

Terri could. Anne had long,flowing curly blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and perfect skin without wearing any make-up.

Terri laughed, rolling her eyes."That was really conceited Annie."

Anne shrugged, flipping her golden hair over her shoulder." As my mom says, a girl needs to be conceited every one and a while."

Terri laughed, for a second forgetting that she had almost been killed almost an hour ago. Now she had almost accepted the Greek god thing. After seeing all this, it confirmed it."Anne, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah,"

"Who do you think my dad is?"

Anne pursed her lips." I honestly don't know Ter. Might be...Apollo? Or maybe Hermes..."

Terri shrugged, she couldn't wait to turn thirteen. Then she would get the answer to the question she had been asking for the past twelve years of her life.

Who was her dad?
