A.N-So sorry I haven't updated, but I didn't know what do to. Since people have been asking me to, I'll put the P.O.V of my made-up characters, each a chapter. I'm going to put this in Derek's P.O.V. He's a son of Helios.
I couldn't sleep.
I was in my tent with my brother Arnold, but my mind was going to fast to slow down and sleep. I kept thinking of what we were going to do. I was certain that those stupid Hunters and sons of Apollo were wrong, but since we started this quest, I knew Arnold was having doubts and he was rubbing off on me. I tried to persuade him back to our father's side, but he was afraid. Afraid everything he'd believed in his whole life was a lie. And he wouldn't be able to bear it if we were wrong.
What did the gods want? Surely, if we were right, they wouldn't make us go through this. Ugh! I couldn't take this anymore! I needed air.
I walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky. There was no moon, just like it'd been since we started this quest. The days were cloudy, too, so there was no sun either. And that made me remember that other cloudy day; the day that changed my life forever, the day I found I was a half-blood.
Flashback of one year ago...
I was running. That's what I've been doing for the last couple weeks; running away from the police. But it wasn't my fault. I didn't make all those things explode, I didn't trash the principal's office. It was those...things. The little lion-goat-snake-thing and the creepy lady, the huge wolf and the snake women. At first I thought I was imagining things, but they knew my name and kept saying that I should go to a place called Hades. And then my best friend, Melanie, turned out to be a goat-woman. What the he**?
Then she said I was a half-blood, and that since I lived with my mom, my father was most likely a Greek god. Again, what the he**?
"We have to get you Camp Half-Blood," she said nervously after she explained things. And for some strange reason, I believed her. But first I needed to get something.
So now I was running back to my house (probably not the best idea) to get a present my uncle had given me three years ago, when he was still alive.
I skidded to a stop in front of my room and went to my special hiding place in the back of my closet. There it was. My gun.
"We have you surrounded," a voice shouted. Police probably "Come quietly, and we may go easy on you. We don't want to hurt you, but you're not making this easy." I grew angry and shouted out my window,
"You don't know anything about me!" Then I ran out the back.
Surrounded, yeah. They were all focusing on the front, probably thinking I was a stupid kid. I met Melanie in a car being driven by my mom, and rode off to my new life.
End of Flashback
I heard a sound behind me and spun around, ready to call for help, but it was only the Huntress, Thalia. She seemed distracted, but noticed me right away.
"Couldn't sleep?" she asked. I shook my head. I sat down on the ground and she joined me. She kept looking up at the sky, or over at the dam.
"You?" I asked, to get her to talk. This silence was unnerving. She shook her head and said,
"I had a dream." I was instantly alert at that. Half-bloods don't just have dreams. They usually meant something. Maybe she saw what we were supposed to do. I asked her about it, but I was envious that she got the dream and I didn't. Stupid Huntress. She shook her head.
"Let's wait until all of them are awake, so I don't have to repeat myself." She stood up and looked at me.
"You should probably get some sleep, Derek. Who knows what we'll be up against in the morning." I nodded and got up too. I said good night to Thalia and went back to my tent. But I knew, like before, I wouldn't sleep. What did she see?
