Natalie Sky- 10 years old

"I guess I'm ready!" I call down to my mother from My bedroom. She seems really scared, but, hey, going to camp will be an adventure. I don't get why She can't just drive me there, but I guess I have to make my first journey as a halfblood now. Something like that. Honestly, I'm not really suprised that I'm a demigod. Ever since I was little, I've been different. But I'm big now, I'm ten! I look at myself on the mirror. My brown hair, My big blue eyes, My white tee shirt with pink and red flowers on it, my blue shorts, my flip flops... Hmmm... I wonder if all half bloods are like me. And I wonder if I'm like the other children of Aelous. I guess I'll find out. In 900 miles, that is. How do they expect a ten year old to make such a journey? Whatever, it'll be cool. I tie my wavy brown hair into two bows that turn into whips. Mommy gave them to me for my tenth birthday, she said they're from daddy.

"Are you coming down or not?!" She shouts playfully, with a tinge of sadness in her voice.

"I'm coming!" I run down the stairs, pooping myself down at the kitchen table. My mommy smiles sadly and carries me a plate with a pancake on it shaped like a peace sign. I love peace signs, and flowers too. They're so cool! Go world peace!

"Here sweetie. Your goodbye breakfast. Oh Natalie! I'll miss you so much, so so much. Get to camp, okay? Train... and be safe. My little demigod." She scoops me into a hug and we stand there for a few minutes, just hugging eachother. I'll miss her too. "I packed up your backpack for the trip: your hunting knives, your flowery sleeping bag, a box of granola bars, a water bottle... and the note from your daddy, the instructions for how to get to the camp." I pretty much have the instructions memorized, I've read them so many times. Something from daddy... sometimes he talks to me though, in my dreams. He even said he loved me. It made me so happy. I think of the instructions;

"Travel west, through the pine forest. Watch out for the satyrs there, They are cruel and corrupted. They would hurt you if they had the chance. Follow the dirt path for about seven miles, turn by the river, follow it until you come to a main road. Avoid the road though, stay in the shadows. You will come upon a yew pathwayseveral miles forward. Do not go in there, you will regret it. Stay in the forest for another while, fifteen or twenty miles, then you will find yourself once again on a main road. This time follow the road, stay on the side, for quite a long time. Don't get a ride from anyone. They could be a monster. You will find yourself at yet another forest, vast and lush. Trail through this forest, avoid the hellhounds that call it home, be ready to fight. It will go on for a long time, but it eill eventually end, and you will fin yourself in New York, by the harbor. Pegasuses will fly down and take you to camp.

Tell no one of this letter, I should not have sent it."

Yes, I guess I do have it memorized.

"Will camp be fun?" I ask my mom.

"Yes, I'm sure it will be. You'll get to ride flying horses, and duel, and..." she trails off, staring into space.

"Mommy, it's okay, I'll be fine." I grin. "Anyway, I'll make new friends, they'll be like me!"

"Yes, of course." I eat my pancake and then grab my backpack, slinging it over my shoulder. Time to go! This will be quite an adventure, it'll be fun. I wonder if I'll meet any new people on the way. Mommy kisses me and hugs me again. "You be brave Now. Get to camp half blood and be safe. I'll muss you so much. I love you, baby."

"I love you too." I feel sad now, I'm leaving her. Maybe forever. And she's sad, so I'm sad. But she wanted me to go...so why is she so unhappy? I guess she just doesn't want to lose me. "And I'll miss you mommy, a lot..."

"But it's better this way. You won't have to grow up in fear like so many demigods. You'll get to be safe at camp."

"Yeah. But... what about you? Will you be lonely?"

"Yes, but it's all worth it for you to be out of harms way. Now you better get going, I want you to hurry as fast as possible, to get to camp as soon as you can." She hugs and kisses me one more time, then she opens the door and I trot out, starting the long way to camp half blood.

"Bye mommy!" I wave and run off to the west, headed for the pine forest only a mile or so from my house. As I run, I can here moms voice behind me.

"I love you Natalie. Stay safe. Stay brave." I turn around one more time and blow a kiss to her, then set off into the woods. Now my adventure begins!

Alright guys, ANOTHER chapter. This is my youngest half blood, just so you know. Lots of thanks to Princess of Flames for Natalie, she's a wonderful character! Also, I'd like to thank all of you who are leaving reviews, you make my day. Alright, so I'm starting something on here... it's just for fun, but, you know... I'll do an opinion question and a random trivia question from a random fandom with each chapter. You can answer them in a review, but if you do, leave a review too, if you don't mind.

Opinion question: Are you as excited as I am for Divergent to come out? I'm seriously dying, I can't wait! Say aye if you are, and no if you aren't...

Trivia question: In the theme song of Romeo and Juliet, what kind of flower is used? (Hint... a _ will bloom...)

Alright, that's it for now. Please review! Bye
