Now for the thing you've all been waiting for… Chapter 3!!!
It felt as if I was thousands of miles deep in the ocean and the weight was to much for me to bear. I couldn't open my eyes at all. And then, very slowly, I started to resurface. I could hear the voices around me. They sounded scared.
"Chiron, isn't there any other way, I mean we never wanted this for her. Never wanted her to have the childhood that we had," I listened to my mom say in a tired and terrified voice.
"We knew when she was born she would have some kind of attraction to monsters, but she couldn't go a single school year with out being attacked. Annabeth and I were so scared for her, but there was nothing we could do about it, she is too much like us," my father whispered in a hoarse tone. What did they mean too much like them?
"Yes, indeed," said a voice that sounded strangely like Mr. Brunner, " She already has amazing potential and too much of a strong aura for monsters, I'm afraid she will have to stay here for the summer," the man finished in a sad voice.
I heard my mom breathing in broken gasps and realized she was crying. My father started to try to calm her and sooth her, but if anything it only got worse.
"You may stay as long as you want, you are always welcome at Camp Half-Blood," said Mr. Brunner
"Thank you, Chiron," my dad said. My mother was still crying. It was becoming hard to stay awake, like I was being pulled back into the deep ocean waters, so I gave up trying to listen and fell into the darkness for the second time that day, or what ever time it was.
While I was in the endless night, I dreamed. I dreamed about the gods and my parents. They were talking to each other like they had known each other for their whole lives, easily conversing and fighting. Man did they fight!My paremts were mouthing off who I guessed to be Athena and Poseidon. I knew from stories that those two gods practically hated each other, but what they had to do with my parents left me dumbfounded. It continued on like that for a while, nasty comments going back and forth between everyone, until Poseidon looked straight at me and said, "She is here."
Suddenly the gods and my mom and dad looked straight at me, like they could sense I was there listening to them. The gods started murmuring again, though it was to low for me to hear. My parents looked ashamed for some reason, I wondered why. After all it was just a dream. I looked away from my parents' anguished faces to find Poseidon smiling at me and Athena giving me murderous glare. She looked just like my mother when she got mad at me for various things, blowing up schools, not doing all my homework, etc. It was a very frightening face. It was then when I thought about this that my eyes finally fluttered open.
I awoke to find my friend Natalie staring at me with a tall glass of some golden liquid. My friend quickly put on a huge smile and said, "Here, drink."
"What is it?" I questioned.
"Just drink it," she answered while shoving it to my mouth. I tasted wonderful, exactly like my mom's homemade chocolate cake, and as I drank it, I felt this warming sensation and felt better than I had in a long time. I hastily went to drink the rest, only to realize that I had finished. I grimaced.
"Can I have some more?" I pleaded. The unknown liquid tasted like heaven.
"No, what did it taste like?" Natalie asked. She looked honestly curious.
"Like my mom's homemade chocolate cake. Where are my mom and dad?"
"They're outside, they will be here in a moment to explain everything to you." She said with solemn eyes.
"What's going on? Where am I and how did I get here?" I cried, hysteria rising in my voice.
"Shh, don't worry. Everything will be explained to you. Here come your parents now," As she spoke, my parents came quietly into the room. They looked guilty and without a word a word sat down in a chair next to my gurney. My parents both just sat there, their eyes wandering around the room like they were trying to avoid my half-crazed eyes and expressions, then finally my mother spoke.
"I know how confusing and shocking this must be but you are going to have to trust us and to try to understand," she finished in a soft voice.
"Mom, what's going on? What was that dog thing that tried to attack me? Where am I? What is that —"
"Nikki, please. Calm down. Let's just take it slow. Right now, you are sitting in the Big House at Half-blood Hill, the safest place for demi-gods for myself, your mom, Natalie, and yourself to just name a few," my father said with a slight chuckle. My mother glared at him.
"What? A demi-god? You mean like Heracles and Perseus??"(A/N ahh, I completely forgot how to spell Perseus. Will someone please tell me how!!!)
"Your daughter is very quick-witted, like you, Annabeth." I looked up to see who the voice belonged to. It was Mr. Brunner, or not. He was hovering above all of us with the hindquarters of a horse. A centaur.
"Chiron!" I whispered.
"Yes, my dear."
I gasped in disbelief at what I was seeing. Is this real? I felt as if I'd been put into some crazy Greek Myth story. I wanted to slap myself to see if I was dreaming.
"We know it's hard to believe, but the this is all very real," Natalie said. I had completely forgotten she was even here.
"Where do you fit in here?" I blurted out. My ADHD did that to me sometimes, I hoped I hadn't sounded mean.
"I, like you, am a demi-god. Let me formally introduce myself. Hi, I am Natalie Gates, Daughter of Apollo. God of light, music, and prophecy," she finished with a radiant smile. At this my mouth dropped.
"What about you and dad, mom? Are you a son and daughter of a Greek god?" I accused in a sarcastic tone. I couldn't believe I was going along with this.
"I'll give you one guess," my dad mused with a mischievous smile. I knew who they were.
"Poseidon and Athena, like in my dreams. That's why I never met—"
"You've been having dreams, Nikki? This isn't good Chiron," my mother interrupted. They began urgently conversing with each other, but I didn't pay attention.
No matter how much I didn't want it to be true, this all made sense. The monsters, the dreams, my heritage. I had questioned it before but now I knew why.
"I know this can be a bit mind-boggling, but its really not so bad, being a half-blood I mean," I heard Natalie call.
"So you really are a daughter of Apollo, aren't you?" I mused.
"Naturally," she answered with a dazzling smile that shone like the sun.
"At least I know why everyone likes you now—" but I was cut of by a boy's voice calling" Natalie" A boy of about fifteen came through the door. He had sandy blond hair and the same brown eyes as Natalie. He stared at her intently; she looked up at him adoringly.
"Hey, Mr. D wants you. Oh hey you must be the new camper. Hi my name is Nick," he said kindly.
"Hello, I'm Nikki," I replied. I heard him chuckle but said nothing. Natalie got up to go with Nick and told me she would find me later.
I stared at the wall for awhile, trying to figure out what to do. I listened to my parents and Chiron talk about me, but I couldn't pay attention. I was dazed and confused and a bit frightened too, but there was no denying it. I, who used to be plain old Nikki, was a grandchild of the gods, Poseidon and Athena, and I was a demi-god.
So what do you think? This chapter was really hard seeing as I was constantly revising to make sure I had the wording just right and that my brain was fried from state writing tests this week. Ahhh!! :P
