Chapter 7: Attack On Camp
Lizzy's pov
I jerked awake in a cold sweat and breathing hard. I had my first nightmare of being at school. The camp was being attacked by monsters. I jumped out of my bed dug in my bag for my drachmas. I pulled out two and ran down to the demigod room. There was a water fall there.
"Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering!" I said as I threw the two drachmas into the rainbow. "Please show me camp half blood." I said in a panic voice. Then a very clear picture of camp came up. There was fires and people yelling and running up the hill. There was monster trying to get it.
Anna was being carried to the infirmary. She was bleeding a lot and very pale. I had tears running down my face. "I have to go home." I said as I waved my hand threw the mist. As I was about to run out of the room a stygian iron sword started to glow blue. I looked at it and picked it up. When my skin touched it. It turned into a black skull ring.
I didn't know what the hell was going on. But I been looking for the right sword. I slipped it on my finish and it fit. After that I ran out of the room. I didn't know how I can get home. They needed me, and I needed to make sure Anna was ok.
I ran down the corridor then I saw Professor McGonagall. "Professor!" I yelled as I ran to her. She turned around and looked at me. Her eyes turned to worry when she saw my tear. "What's wrong miss Crimson?!" She said in a rush. "I need to talk to the headmaster." I said as I tried to calm myself.
"Why?" She said. "I need to get home now! They are in danger!" I said and her eyes narrow. "How do you know that Lizzy?" She said. I wanted to hit something. "I had a dream about it." I said and then she smiled. "It was just a dream Lizzy doesn't mean its hap-" I stopped her. "My dreams comes true! If I don't go now, then some will die!" I yelled at her.
"How do you know that will happen?" She said. "What is going on here?" Came the headmasters voice. I turned my red eyes towards him. "Headmaster I need to go home!" I said as I turned my back on Professor McGonagall. "The girl is having nightmares and she thinks they are real." McGonagall said in an angry voice. But the headmaster looked at me.
"How long since you had this dream?" He asked me. "Ten minutes sir." I said, and he looked at me. "Come with me we send you back with flu powder. When you are ready just come back the same way." He said as he turned around and started to walk faster. I ran to keep up with him. "Headmaster you can take her serious!" She said as she walked with us.
"Lizzy isn't your normal witch Professor." He said to her. "What do you mean?" She said as she looked at him. Started up some stair. "Sorry Professor McGonagall I cannot tell you. If Lizzy wants she can tell you cause it's her life." He said, and I glared at her. "No." I said as we walked through a door. "Ok Lizzy this this pouch of flu powder. So, when you are ready to come back then you have a way." He said, and I put it in my pocket of my pants.
"Ok Lizzy take a pinch of the powder and throw it in the fire. Then walk into it the fire and say your destination." He said, and I nodded. I threw the green powder into the fire and it turned green. Then I walked into it. "Camp Half-Blood!" I said then I started to spin. The fire was warm, and the flames licked at my skin. Then I came flying out of the fire form the Dining Pavilion.
I landed on my feet and took off to the hill. "We need more people at the hill!" Came Nicks voice. I the ring turned back into its sword self. I smiled as I my hair turned blonde and my eyes turned black. I ran pasted Nick. "Lizzy?" He said but I didn't stop. One of the Ares kids was at the top of the hill he bent down, and I jumped on his back and pushed off him as I went through the barrier. The monster didn't know the bloody hell happened.
As my sword went through them, sucked up their essence as I went. Using the sword and my magic I took out the monster army. I stood at the bottom of the hill. I was bleeding from a few wounds that I got. As I walked back up the hill my sword turn back into a ring. "I'm going to call you Ajax." I said to the ring. It felt like it was happy to be named. As I came back in to the barrier where the others were waiting for me.
"Lizzy when did you get here?" Nick asked as he pulled me into a hug. I gasped as I pulled away. "Sorry what's wrong?" Nice said with worry. "I think I have a few broken ribs." I said as I put my arm around myself. I moved past them and headed for the infirmary. "Where are you going?" Matt yell after me.
"Going to see Anna!" I yelled back. They ran to me. "How did you know Anna got hurt?" Mercy asked me. She is the daughter of Nike. We started to talk a week before I left for school. "I saw you guys taking her to the infirmary." I said. "Hey Lizzy!" Yelled Jack son of Ares. He was the one I jumped on his back.
I kept on walking. "What!" I yelled at him. "I have a bone to pick with you!" He growled. "I don't have time for this!" I yelled, and everyone looked at me. "I don't care!" He said as he got behind me. I stopped and turned around to look at him. As I did this Ajax formed into my hand as I pointed it at Jack. He looked scared as the point of Ajax was at his throat.
"What do you want Jack? I'm a busy demigod." I said to him. "You used me as a jumping board." He said to me. I looked at him and took a deep breath.
"Sorry Jacky but I need a lift since you are the strongest guy in camp. I thought you could get me a good lift. Sorry." I said to him and then he did something that shocked me. He smiled at me. "No, it's ok. Let's go and see Anna." He said, and I shook my head as Ajax turned back to my ring. I growled as we walked into the infirmary. There was a lot of campers there.
I was pissed off at that. Anna was out cold but will be fine. She saved pushed Ella daughter of Ares out of the way. She took the hit for her. Ella looked at us. "How is she?" I asked her. She growled at me and I growled back at her. She smiled at me. "She is going fine. I never thought a daughter of Demeter would save my ass." Ella said to us.
"Anna might be younger than us, but she is brave. She would give her life for your friends and campers." I said, and the others nodded. "How did you get here Lizzy?" Nick asked me again. "I came by flu powder." I said. "What?" Lucy asked as she sat up from her bed. Lucy is a daughter of Aphrodite and one of the very few of her cabin that is a fighter.
"It's a powder that lets me travel threw fire." I said to them. "Wow." They all said. "Here Lizzy eat this." Matt said as he gave me some ambrosia. I took a small bite and it tasted like Pepper Imps. I could feel my wounds healing and some of my ribs. "I miss having this." I said as I sat next to Ella. "How is school going?" Lucy asked me as she smiled at me. God for a 11-year-old she is very pretty.
"Good a lot of homework. But there are things there I can't wait to learn." I said as I finished my little ambrosia. "What can't you wait to learn?" Nick asked me. I looked over at him and him and smiled. "You have to wait till I learn it." I said as I stuck out my tongue at him. He smiled at me. "Ok but you better show us." Nick said.
I stood up and my ribs was still hurting. Matt left the room. "Where is he going?" I asked. "He was mumbling about getting you a healing pack." Mercy said. I nodded my head. "If you came through the fire. Which one did you come out of?" Jack asked. I started to laugh. "What's so funny?" Ella said. I stopped laughing because it hurt my ribs. "Sorry I came out of the fire from the dining pavilion." I said and they all started to laugh too.
I rubbed my eyes and looked out of the window and groaned. "What's wrong?" Anna said softly as she looked over at me with a smile. I smiled down at her. "I have to get going. I have lessons in the morning." I said to her. She had a sad smile on her face. "Oh, I thought you can stay longer." Anna said.
"I be back in a few months. Just stay out of trouble. And you can call me, and I will do the same." I said to her. But then I thought about it. "Call me on the weekends because there are a lot of people around. During the week if I can be alone I will call you." I said to them. "Ok so you going to leave now?" Nick said to me. "Yea I don't want to miss dinner."
I said as I stood up. I gave Anna a small hug then left. The others followed me. Chiron was waiting for me outside the house. "Lizzy thank you for coming back to help." He said as he gave me a hug. I smiled back up at him. "This is my home and everyone here is my family. I couldn't let them die without a fighting chance." I said to him.
"Mister D saw you flying out of the diner pavilion fire." He said to me. I smiled at him. "I didn't know I was going to pop out of that one." I said, and he looked at me. So, I told him about flu powder. "I see so you must have to go back threw it. I go get a step for you." He said as he took off. Everyone walked with me to the pavilion. Everyone was starting to come in for dinner.
Matt came running to me. "Lizzy good you didn't leave yet!" He yelled as he slid to a stop next to me. Matt was holding a back pack. "Here I packed a lot of healing things for you." He said as he handed it to me. "Thanks Matt." I said as a gave him a hug.
Then Chiron came up with a stepping stool. "Here you go Lizzy." He said as he out it next to the fire. I put the bag over my shoulders and pulled out the pouch. I took a pinch of the green powder. "I see you guys in the summer and keep yourself alive by the time I come back." I said with a smile.
"Don't worry Lizzy I make sure they are." Jack said, and I smiled at him. "Ok I'm counting on you." I said as I threw the powder into the fire. The flames turned green. I jumped up and yelled. "Hogwarts!" As I landed in the fire I started to spine and I closed my eyes then I started to feel that I was slowing down.
I threw my arms around and landed on the cool stone ground of the headmasters office. I laid there for a while, so my stomach didn't feel so sick. "You ok child?" Came I voice I never heard before. I rolled over to looked at the many paintings of former headmasters and headmistresses. "Who spoke?" I asked as I sat up.
"I did my dear." Said a handsome wizard with blue eyes. "Yes, I'm fine." I said to him as I looked at him. "You are from Camp Half-Blood?" He asked me, and I looked at him. "Yes I am. How did you know?" I asked him, and he smiled at me. "Camp Half-Blood was my home when I was a lad." He said, and my mouth opened.
"Your Godric Gryffindor!" I said in a high voice. He smiled more. "Yes, I am how do you know?" He said as he watched me stood up. "You're the son of Hecate." I said as I bounced up and down then had to stop cause of my ribs. How he looked shocked.
"How did you know that child? Not at lot of people knew I was a demigod." Godric said. "I too am a child of Hecate." I said, and he smiled more. "A sister that is also a witch. I started to fear that no other demigod would walk these corridors." Godric said. "Mother said that you wanted another demigod to come to this school." I said as I sat down in a chair.
"Mother and I use to talk a lot when the school was being built. I know we are a different kind of being from the Wizarding world and the world of the gods. I wanted a place for those who are part of both will still be welcome here. Did you find the room?" He asked me. "Yes, I did." I said to him. "That is good news. Help you self to what you need. If you like you can work on some of the things I started and didn't finish or didn't know how to make it work." Godric said with a smile.
"I have to look into that. When I have time." I said as I played with the skull ring on my hand. "Ah so it finally found the rightful own." He said to me. "Sorry?" I asked, and he smiled at me. "Sorry child. That ring you have work for me. I guess it's like our wands it chooses the demigod." Godric said to me. "I guess I was worried about my friends and he started to glow. When I picked it up and turning into a ring." I said to him.
"What is your name child?" Godric asked me. "Lizzy Crimson." I said to him. "Daughter to Edward Crimson?" He asked me. "Yes, how do you know my father?" I asked him, and he chuckled. "He used to get in trouble a lot while he was in school. He was in here a lot." He said as he wiped his eyes. "Lizzy you are the first demigod after me to come to this school. I want you to have fun make some magical friends and keep them close to you even after you leave school. You can live in both worlds. But have to be careful that you don't bring enemies from one side to the other. People will get hurt." Godric said to me. "Yes brother." I said to him. So, we talked for a while till it was time for dinner.
