Well back again hope you enjoy it.

Clarisse walked into the school expecting strange looks from people, or everyone to be on edge; but there was nothing. Everyone was just going about their business and acted like everything in the world was just fine.

"Hey kid" Coach Hedge called to her "Let me talk to you for a minute."

She walked over to him "What do you want."

"Don't so me your attitude kid" he said "You need to watch your back."

"What's that supposed to mean." Clarisse asked

"Just watch your back" he said walking off.

He left Clarisse standing in the hallway confused until she heard another voice.

"Hey kid." Chris said.

"If one more person calls me kid today they're getting beat up" she said punching Chris in he shoulder.

He ignored her assault and her tone "You remember your teacher? Mr. Ramone?"

"Uh...yeah" Clarisse said really confused.

"Well no one else does." Chris told her, he continued when he saw how completely lost she was. "If you don't believe me go to class and ask around nobody knows the guy." he said walking to class.

So that's what she did, she went around asking kids about Mr. Ramone, but she didn't find any leads. All she got was 'what are you talking about' and 'please don't hit me'. At the end of the day Clarisse started to walk home. She thought about waiting for Chris but didn't feel like having a conversation. She thought hard about what had happened the day before but nothing came up. She couldn't let it go something just wasn't right about this whole situation. Before she knew it she was home.

She opened the door "I'm home" she called.

"Come to the kitchen" her mom called back.

Clarisse walked into the kitchen to see her mom standing there decked out in her USMC uniform.

"Hello, mother"

"Why can't you be a normal child and call me mom or mommy."

Yeah maybe when hell freezes over Clarisse thought but she knew better than to say that out loud. "Can I ask you something?"

"You just did" Her mom said walking towards the stove where the oven alarm is going off.

"You're annoying you know that woman" Clarisse didn't mean to say it just slipped out.

"Wanna try that again marine." Her mom said narrowing her eyes. Clarisse winced her mom only called her marine when she was really angry, like do 100 push ups or no dinner angry.

"Sorry" Clarisse said quickly. She never apologized to anyone "I'm just frustrated"

"Why little warrior" Her mom said sensing that her daughter was really distraught.

"Because you said that I got hurt yesterday playing on the playground, right?"

"Yup" her mom replied.

"Well I don't play on the playground. I haven't been allowed to since the beginning of the year when I kicked ghat kid off the platform and screamed This is Sparta. " Clarisse told her.

Her mom had to hold back her laughter she had completely forgotten about that incident. She turned to face her daughter. "Listen Clarisse, the less you know the better, end of story."

Clarisse was about to say something but she couldn't there was a loud bang like an explosion. She got up and went to the window the last thing she expect to see was a giant...monster. Even worse it was about to eat Chris. Clarisse ran outside to Chris's side.

"Hey kid do you see the giant goat monster." Chris asked her as the creature stalked toward them.

"Goat monster, what are you talking about it's more lion than anything and why does it have a serpent tail." Clarisse said as they slowly backed away.

"It's called a Chimera" a voice called to them.

They looked and saw Coach Hedge jump over to them. Its when they noticed that he wasn't wearing pants and that he had goat legs.

Coach Hedge looked to Clarisse's mother "See Ms. La Rue I told you once the attacks start to get frequent it's no longer safe she has to go..NOW!.

The chimera jumped forward with deadly precision but Chris ran and Clarisse dodged rolled out of the way and kicked it in the side. Clarisse got up and ran towards the coach. The Chimera tried to attack her again but Coach Hedge hit it with a bat so hard it broke. The Chimera backed off to regroup and Clarisse started hitting it with rocks.

"Try this instead" he said handing Clarisse a dagger made of something Clarisse couldn't quite figure out.

"Clarisse be careful" her mom said "Please"

Clarisse smirked back at her mom "What are you gonna cry. Don't worry I got this. And for some reason Clarisse believed this, believed that she could destroy this monster.

She ran towards it to attack it, it swiped at her but she dodged it and tried to stab it. But the Chimera was fast it used it paw to throw her to the ground.

"CLARISSE" Chris yelled as he ran toward the Chimera, it easily swiped him to the side.

"Hey you overgrown lion goat whatever you are the only one that hurts that idiot is me. She yelled as she stabbed the dagger upwards into the Chimera's stomach. It howled in pain and rage and took off into the desert heat.

Coach Hedge and Ms. La Rue went to check on Clarisse and Chris hoping the two of them were OK.

Later That Night

"Matthew remember when you told about your time growing up in New York." Ms. La Rue asked.

"Yes, why?" He asked her.

"I was thinking of sending Clarisse to that military school you went to." She responded "Does that school accept 1st graders"

"Yup grades 1-12 they would even accept her in the middle of the year." he told her "I think it would be really good for Clarisse."

"She's not gonna like it" Ms. La Rue said in a sing song voice.

"I've known Clarisse for 2 years since she was 5 and I have never seen her like anything except maybe video games and as much as she doesn't want to admit Taylor, and her little friend Chris." he said "She'll get over it"

OK so next chapter Clarisse will be at camp half-blood causing problems. As always please review...please I always leave you guys a bribe. See you next time. Here are your cookies *leaves chips ahoy*
