Chapter 1: Jamie

"C'mon, slow poke!" Jamie King yelled to her best friend, Kathryn Knapp. Jamie was skating expertly, backwards, while Kathryn was busy falling on her bottom. Jamie rolled her eyes and went to help Kathryn up.

"Maybe we should... ugh! Get some pizza." Kathryn suggested, trying to slide on her bottom off the rink. Jamie laughed at her best friend. She skated off the rink, her golden curls bouncing and her hands behind her back.

Kathryn gripped her hands on the bench and finally was able to get up. She glared at Jamie.

"Not funny, James." She said, effortlessly skating-and falling- over to Jamie. "The food is on you." Kathryn then fell on some pizza that was left on the floor. Jamie tried not to laugh, to no avail.

"Actually, the food's on you." Jamie said.

"One medium pizza with bacon, ham, sausage, and extra cheese please." Kathryn said to the counter boy. Jamie shook her head, disgusted.

"And I'll have a small cheese pizza with pinapples." Jamie said. She was a vegetarian. I can't believe how people could eat meat! Poor animals... Jamie thought, handing the guy a ten dollar bill. He winked at her and she just rolled her eyes and went to her seat.

As they ate their pizza, all Jamie could think about was her dream last she had the night before.

In her dream, there was the boy. The boy that has been showing up in her dreams for the past six months. The same curly brown hair, striking tirquoise eyes, and well built body. He seemed to be looking right at her. Soon others joined in. They crowded Jamie, and started to push her to the edge of a cliff.

"Help!" They screeched like zombies. They wouldn't stop. Jamie tried to scream, but she couldn't. She looked down the cliff, and saw a boy with dazzling sea green eyes, jet black messy hair, and a good tan. One girl screeched and ran to the edge. She had hair just like Jamie's, stormy gray eyes, and almost pale skin. Her eyes were wide in shock.

She jumped off the cliff.

Jamie tried once again to scream, but she just couldn't.. She knew this was a dream, yet it seemed so real.

Jamie just couldn't get the dream out of hre head! She knew all of it was real. She knew the cliff was real, the girl was real, the same guy that she's seen a million times before was all real! God, why couldn't she just dream of bunnies in a field of tulips?

"Who eats pinapples on a pizza?" Kathryn asked, shaking Jamie out of her thoughts. She shrugged.

"Apparently, me." She said, taking a giant bite out of her pizza and chewing on it, opened mouthed, just to prove how much better it is than meat. Kathryn gagged.

"Alright, alright! Just stop!" She yelled. Jamie did as told. Once they finished their pizza's and took their skates off, Jamie thought she saw a shadow. She looked around, but nothing was there.

They went outside, and heard two growls. (Can I please just skip the fighting? I'm too lazy. THNX!)

So then Agrius was stabbbed. He disolved into dust. Agrius was popcorn powder in a thunderstorm. But the thing that surprised Jamie even more, was the person who stabbed it.

So farmiliar. Curly brown hair, dazzling blue eyes, well built body. This was the guy in her dreams. They were both breathing heavily, his chest going in... out... in... out. She couldn't speak, or smile, or anything.

They were a foot apart, and he seemed just as dazed. Well, not as much as her. He held out his hand.

"Hi," he said. "My name's Connor Stoll." Jamie didn't shake his hand. She just stared. He slowly pulled his hand back.

"Awkward!" Kathryn said, popping her head over Jamie's shoulder. Jamie pointed weakly to Connor Stoll.

"You," She croaked. "I know you!" He gave a smirk. She guessed thats what he did, instead of smiling. Then he got serious.

"Oh, gods. No time for that! We have to get to camp." He said. Jamie shook her head, trying to lose her daze.

"Wait, wait, wait! What camp? What were those things?" She asked.

"Yeah!" Kathryn confirmed. Jamie looked at her and rolled her eyes. She crossed he arms on her chest and turned to Connor, tapping her feet.

"We aren't going anywhere with you until you tell us what's going on!" She said. She didn't look any brave considering it looked like it was about to snow. She was only wearing a long sleeve green shirt, white puffy vest, black skinny jeans, ripped at the knees, and tennis shoes.

"Okay..." Connor said. "I didn't want to have to do this, but..." He grunted as he picked up Jamie on his shoulder like a flour pack. She kicked and screamed at him, and Kathryn tried to pry her off him, but it didn't work.

He walked off, and Jamie stopped kicking and screaming. She knew it wouldn't work. And she trusted the guy from her dreams. She didn't know why, but she felt like he could be trusted.

When they got to a bus, he put her down. She didn't even try to run. He was too fast.

"Tell us what this is about." Kathryn demanded. Jamie nodded and looked into Connor's eyes. She quickly looked away, almost hipmotized by them.

"We are going uptown, then we'll travel by foot to long island. We're going to Camp Half-Blood." He said.

"What's Camp Half-blood?" Jame asked.

"A camp for demigods. Half god, half human." Connor said. amie and Kathryn sat there, trying to decide wether he's crazy or not. They chose crazy.

"Oh really? Prove it." Kathryn said, and Connor sighed.

"My dad is Hermes. Here's your wallets." He pulled out the girls' wallets and they snatched them from his hand. They checked to see if any money was missing, then glared at him.

"Okay, so you steal stuff. But that doesn't mean Greek Mythology is real!" Jamie insisted.

"Well it is. Those bear men- they were Agrius and Oreius." He said. Jamie needed to process this, while Kathryn knew exacrly what he meant.

"Like... from GREEK MYTHOLOGY? Oh, god." she said.

"Oh Gods, actually." Connor stated. Kathryn and Jamie started breathing heavily.

"Oh, gods. This isn't real. This is not real. This is not real. This is not real." Jamie kept pacing around the moving bus. Kathryn and Connor tried calming her down.

So, wait? What does this have to do with us?" Jamie said, looking at Connor. He sighed.

"Your mom or dad is a god or goddess." He said. Jamie almost fainted.

"Okay, so who's my parent?" Kathryn asked.

"Dunno. But we'll probably find out at the camp fire tonight." Connor said. Jamie sat down, still breathing heavily.

"Wait, so your dad actually is Hermes?" She asked, and Connor smirked.

"Last I checked." He said. But he said "checked" like he just checked their wallets. So they sat there, bored out of their minds, until Jamie started mumbling lines form William Shakespeares, "Romeo and Juliet".

"You like Shake pear?" Connor asked, and Jamie laughed.

"Shakespear, idiot." She said. Connnor acted offended.

"Sorry, sorry." He said warily.

"Oh Romeo, Romeo, were art thy?" Jamie mumbled. Then the bus driver yelled,

"Long Island Sound! GET OFF!" Jamie could tell he didn't like his job. So they hurried out of the bus, and as soon as her heel raised above the steps, the bus drove off in a loud, "ZOOOM!"

Connor started walking torward the woods, and the girls followed. They got to a giant arc. Jamie looked around, and almost jumped out of her skin. There was a giant lizard/dragon thing, coilde around a pine tree.

"Calm down. It's just Peleus. And we're in luck-he's asleep." Connor said like it was no big deal. Jamie and Kathryn let out a sigh of relief, and they walked through the border.

Once they were in, Jamie stuck her hand back in the border. A sea-colored light circled around her hand.

"Cool." She muttered and turned around. The sight was beautiful.

There were beautiful fields of lime green grass, wooods on the far end of the place, a rock climbing wall with-lava? A big baby blue house on the other side, a strange assortment of alot of different types of cabins, a huge area with wooden tables, and a hue fire space in the middle of them.

There were statues, some that Jamie recognized. Herems, Hera, Artemis. Spring water sprung from several fountains in the middle of the cabin assortment, along with a giant blazing fire.

"Woah." Is all Jamie and Kathryn could say simultaeniously.

"Yep. Okay, let's get to the BIg House." Connor said, leading them to the big blue house. When they got there, they saw a man with long curly hair, a wispy beard, and the back side of a horse.

A guy our age sat on the other side of the table, chewing on a can. He had achne, small horns, a curly small afro, and the bottom half of a goat.

When they saw Kathryn and Jamie, they smiled in amusement. Kathryn and Jamie's faces were probably worth a million drachmas.

"Hello, children." The horse man-a centaur- said.

"Sup?" The goat guy-a satyr-said. The girls waved to them slowly. The centaur turned to Connor.

"Who told you that you could go find new demigods? You are supposed to be working on the Argo 11." He-it?-said. Connor gulped.

"Well, um... I guess I don't really have an explenation for that." He said. He had that face on him that just lets you know he had done something bad. Something bad that Jamie didn't want to know about. The centaur sighed.

"Alright, just give this young lady-"he pointed to Jessie-"a tour. I will get someone for this one." He pointed to Kathryn. Connor smiled at Jessie, and she gulped. She looked at the centaur as if sayin, 'help.'

As they were walking, millions of questions wrang through Jamie's head.

Did her dad know about this?

Who was her godly parent?

Why didn't she ask these questions to jello head instead of herself?

Oh yeah, that's it.

But she thought who her godly parent could be. Athena? Not smart enough. Poseidon? Maybe. Zues? Well, she does like storms, but she's terrified of hurricanes and lightning and heights. Hades? Does she act goth? Aphrodite? Not pretty enough

Apollo? She's had very bad expriences with bows and arrows. So that crosses off Artemis, too. Hespheastus? She can't even handle a screw driver without hurting herself.

All that was left was Hermes, Hera, and Demeter. She could be any. Or mayeb Iris or Nike...

"And now let's pick out a weapon for you." Connor announced dramatically, spreading his arms out in front of a beat up old shed.

"It's beautiful." Jamie said smiled, rolled her eyes, and walked in.

One wall was covered in swords, from 5 inches to 5 foot tall. Some were gold, and some were silver. Another wall was filled with precious knives and daggers, silver, gold, even black. There were boxes filled with armour, and on another wall were normal and un-normal items.

Bracelets, necklaces, pns, anklets, head bands, and alot of other things. Jamie felt a pulse and walked over to one: a beautifuls bracelet. It was gold, with two diamonds circling around a big green emerald. It was beautiful.

Jamie put it on, examined it, then pushed down on the emerald. I grew into a three foot sword. She smiled, She did thrusts, jabs, manuvers, and other things. She turned to Connor.

"I want this one." She said.
