Chapter 1
Aurora's POV.
"Aurora!" My father called.
"Can you please come down here, we need to talk." He asked.
"Sure, Dad." I answered.
I put down my book and slipped my shoes on. I was wearing my black T-shirt and black sweatpants that I use as pajamas and my checkered vans. I left my room and walked through the palace to my dad. I saw that my friends and their parents were there too. I was curious as to why, but I had learned to just let my father explain things.
"Good, now that we are all here we have to tell you all something." My father started.
"Aurora, you, Ruby, Grayson, and Aaron will be attending a camp." He said.
I looked at my friends, this was not going to end well.
"Tartarus just get to the point, you know they aren't going to ask questions until you are finished!" Nyx exclaimed, clearly exasperated.
Knowing her, Gaia, and Achlys had given my dad an hour long talk about how to tell us whatever he was telling us, and he was utterly failing.
"Ok, ok, jeez. Well me, Nyx, Gaia, and Achlys have decided it is time for us to finally rise. You all play an important role in this. We will be sending you to the outside world, only a mile or two away from Camp Half-Blood. You are going to be chased by hell hounds, cyclops, empousa, and dracena." he nodded to Nyx.
"But there is a catch." She started.
I looked her in the eyes. "I don't like where this is going." I stated.
"Aurora, the catch is that you all have to act like we abandoned you, and you were abused."
We all gasped.
"Why would we do that mom?" Ruby asked.
Children, I know it will be hard, but we will give you a story to memorize. When we transport you, you will have thirty minutes to memorize it." She nodded to my father.
"After that I will be sending those monsters after you, but they will be told beforehand to try and hurt you. After all, we want this to look real. Once you all get into camp we will eventually send you a note." He nodded to Achlys.
"That is where I come in. I have to figure out how to get you up to the surface and how to get you a letter without anyone powerful noticing." She said.
"Oh also," Gaia started, "The scars that you all have from us teaching you how to fight, and from ruins with monsters? Well act like they were from abuse." She added.
"Seriously? That should be pretty easy." I replied. My friends nodded in agreement.
She looked hurt.
"Oh." I realized what I had just said.
She started silently crying,
I walked up and grabbed her hands.
"It will be easy because they are physical and emotional scars, not because you guys are bad parents. You are the best parents we could ask for."
This calmed her down. She hugged me.
"Well it is time for you all to pack." Nyx stated.
We said our goodbyes and each went off in their separate directions to pack.
"Wait!" I called.
My friends and their parents turned around.
"Where are we meeting up?" I asked.
"The styx!" Achlys answered.
With that I was off to my room to get ready.
When I got in my room I took a quick shower and put on a black tank top that in red letters said:
You wanna mess with me?
Prepare to go to Hell.
I also put on black ripped skinny jeans, with my doc martens. To finish it off I put on a leather jacket, and my sword sheath.
I put an extra pair of clothes in my pack, some ambrosia and nectar, then My computer and headphones. As I was about to leave, my father came in.
"Aurora, we need to talk." He gestured for me to sit down, I gulped and complied.
He sat down beside me.
"I know you don't want to do this." He started.
"No shit sherlock." I replied.
He raised an eyebrow, most likely because he had never heard me use this phrase before.
"Here," He gave me a letter, "If you ever find yourself, becoming unsure of anything whatsoever, read this."
I looked down at it. "Thanks, Dad." I replied.
He smiled, something only me and my mom could ever get him to do. He got up to leave.
"Are you sure this will work?" I asked.
"It will work, now come on we have to go." I smiled and followed him out.
When we got to the doors of the palace, I got scared. You see I have only ever been out of here once.
~Flash back~
"Wow.' I breathed. I had never been out of the palace before, neither had my friends.
"Definitely." Aaron agreed.
"Hey!Why don't we go swimming in the styx?" Ruby suggested.
"Sure!" I agreed.
"Well," Grayson started.
"Dude! Come on, let's go! We can test out our immunity." Aaron said.
"It's not that! It's just...do any of us know how to swim?"
"Grayson has a good point." Ruby said.
"Yeah, but, no better time to learn than the present!" I argued.
"Oh okay!" Grayson agreed.
We dragged him there.
"Did you guys bring suits?" I asked.
They all nodded.
I took off my shirt and shorts. I had on a dark red one piece, Ruby had on a dark blue one on. Aaron had black swim trunks, Grayson had dark green ones on.
I dove in, when I hit the water, I immediately felt energized. When I surfaced My friends were also in the water.
"This is awesome!" Grayson said.
"Says the guy who was afraid we might drown!" I said while laughing.
The styx was still really cold, and I still felt a little like I was being disconnected from the world but It was really faint. When my bare feet touched the bottom I winced in pain. The bottom was glass.
Then I looked at my surroundings, as far as the eye could see, the ground was black glass, and everything was very dark and humid. We were used to it, we didn't exactly grow up with air conditioning.
After about an hour of swimming we got out.
We were all dried instantly once we got out. I love the humid air here.
"Is it just me or does something feel off?" Ruby asked.
"It's not just you." I replied.
We all put our clothes back on over our suits. I had on a black t-shirt and black jean shorts, with my sword of course.
Ruby wore a dark blue t-shirt and black jean shorts with her dagger.
Aaron had on a dark red t-shirt and jeans. Grayson had on the same thing just with a dark green shirt, they both had their swords.
As we were on our way to my house/palace, I heard a roar.
"Ruby! Aurora, watch out!" I looked toward the boys just in time to see the minotaur slam into me and Ruby.
My body was on fire, he pulled away, and I immediately had to hold back a scream, though I heard Ruby scream. I looked to my left and saw Ruby, bleeding, badly. It looked like one of his horns had been rammed into her side, probably mine too.
I blacked out.
When I woke up, I learned that the boys had defeated the minotaur and then brought us back here. After that our parents just shadow traveled us everywhere,
~End Flashback~
"Hey, it's alright, you won't get hurt again." My dad assured me.
He opened the doors and we went to the styx. When we got there we were apparently the last ones.
Ruby was wearing a navy blue v neck t-shirt dress. She had on doc martins and capris that were slightly darker than her dress that went to the start of her docs. Her hair was in a high ponytail.
Aaron was wearing a black t-shirt with a regular jean jacket on and jeans. He also had on all black sneakers.
Grayson had on a leather jacket over his dark green t-shirt. He had very dark jeans on too.
"Guess it's time for you kids to go huh?" Gaia asked.
"Yeah mom is already working on the note and how to get it to us inside of the camp barrier." Ruby replied.
"Well, see you all when we see you." I salute them with two fingers.
My father waves his hand and we are surrounded by darkness.
