Walking in a country road, taking me home, to the place I belong should be relaxing. But on this occasion, not even my favorite song "Country Roads" could help me slow down my heartbeat. Let me recap a little. Just about half an hour before, my history teacher, Mrs. Fort, turned out to be a siren that wanted to eat me. Not only that, but some demonic thing seemed to take control of my body and mind, making me torture and kill her. Right now I was walking in the road (which seemed more like the woods with a little bit of road on it) towards my home, the orphanage God's Children Home, with the new hot girl Silena Beauregard by my side. We were walking for about twenty minutes now when she suddenly took my hand and lead me down another path.

"Wait what are you doing? The orphanage is that way. That path takes you north" I asked her. She looked at me with sympathy, making my insides quite uneasy.

"Well, Jagger" she began and kept leading me that way, "I told you I would explain everything, and I intend to keep my promise. Right now we are going to Camp Half-Blood, a special camp with people like us"

"What do you mean like us?" I asked obviously confused

"What do you know about the Greek Gods?" she instead asked me back. Honestly, why can't I ever get a straight answer? Like damn, sometimes you ask a girl if they like you and they take it as if you like them. No, I just wanted to ask if you liked me so I could stop talking to you with a valid reason.

"Seriously Beauregard, we just took a class on them"

"Well, you may not believe me, but those 'myths'" she said using the air quotes "are actually true. You, my dear friend, are a demigod, child of a god/goddess and a mortal. That is the reason you have ADHD and dyslexia. The dyslexia is due to the fact that our brains are hardwired into ancient Greek, and the ADHD comes from our battle reflexes." That was the craziest thing I've heard in my life. Crazier than when the bible said 'I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved' in Genesis 32:30, but then said 'No man hath seen God at any time' in John 1:18. Crazier than people believing the Earth is flat. Crazier than the girls who think they'll end up marrying me.

"What drugs are you taking? It can't be acid or cocaine, it doesn't look like heroin. Maybe percocet?" I asked her

"What the hell dude no. I swear all I said is true"

"Prove it" I challenged her

"Fine. Grab a stick and write in the ground 'I am a stupid boy'" she commanded me. Suddenly, I felt myself lose control of my own body, like if it was on autopilot. My body went and grabbed a stick, but I quickly got my senses back. I was on high alert, knowing that this girl could be dangerous. I bent down on the ground next to Silena and slowly wrote something.

"I am a stupid girl -Silena," she said clearly surprised by what I wrote "I don't understand, nobody has been able to resist my charmspeak"

"Well there's always a first time for everything," I said winking at her. I turned around and started walking towards the orphanage. I felt my hand being taken strongly, so I turned around again and found Silena looking at me with some kind of pity.

"What, "I said clearly irritated "can't I just go home and forget all that you've told me?" I said as I shook her off and continued walking towards my home

"If you continue to the orphanage you'll be putting all of them in danger" I turned to be facing her, but still kept walking home

"Well too bad, because frankly, I don't really care. I just want you to get away from me" I told her as calmly as possible as I took my leave. I walked for about a mile when suddenly I got a strong feeling that something was wrong. I trusted my instincts, running towards the orphanage, running as fast as possible, running through people, running through the roads, everything I could do to get to my home faster. When I got there, I saw that the house was on fire, with the firefighters already there. I saw them taking out some bodies and I quickly thought the worst.

Just this morning, almost every kid, with the exception of me, got diagnosed with chicken pox. because of this, everyone stayed home for the day. This was pretty common actually, I have yet to recall just one day when I have been sick.

I saw the firefighters extinguish the fire and take out the bodies. In total there were ten bodies, all covered in a white sheet that is placed on dead people. I sense of dreadfulness came upon me and I slowly walked towards the sheriff, who had just arrived at the scene.

"Excuse me, Mr. Norman, do you know what happened?" I asked the sheriff timidly. Not that I was intimidated or scared of the sheriff, but rather scared of the news he had. He turned around and when he saw me, he put his most sympathetic look.

"Ah, Jagger, glad you could come so quickly. There is a really easy way to tell you this. There was a fire and unfortunately, everyone in the house has passed away. The reason for the fire is unknown but the property damage is irreversible. I'm really sorry sport, if you want you can stay at my house while we figure everything out." Sheriff Norman said in his thick southern accent. I couldn't believe what I've just heard. My whole life had just been burned before my eyes. No longer did I have my home, no longer did I have my family. Now it was all me against the world, no family or someone to be myself with.

Do you know when people say 'think before you act'? Well, you really should. Because what happened next could've been so easily avoided.

I started running without a path. Just wanted to get away from my home, from everyone that was going to give me that sympathy looks. I have just lost my home, the place I belonged. I've lost everything and everyone I have ever and will ever love, my only true family.

I noticed I had been running for several hours now when the full moon started to rise. It was cool that the moon lighted up the night sky, but it also made me quite uneasy for some unknown reason. I just kept walking, unsure if I was still in almost heaven (West Virginia) when I heard a wolf cry. Following the cry of the first wolf, about another eleven wolves cried a the same time, signaling the start of their hunt. It was weird, there aren't supposed to be wolves in this part of the country. I suddenly heard a twig snap on my left side. I turned to the place and there I saw a wolf, only this wolf was two times bigger than normal ones and had his eyes penetrating mine. As soon as I could catch my breath, I was surrounded by twelve wolves, each bigger than the next one, all bigger than normal wolves.

"Well well well look who we have here. It seems we have ourselves fresh demigod meat. Wait, smell him. The first of his kind we will ever get to eat, so enjoy my friends. Today, when the moon is highest we are strongest." the wolves kept looking at me with hunger. They drooled all over themselves. They could use a little lesson on manners.

"Just get over it. All I have is literally a silver knife here. Not like I can do much, but then again, I would like to die fighting. So come on, because I have the eye of the tiger, and it's the thrill of the fight" I said cockily, which only made them angrier.

The smallest wolf attacked me first, trying to attack me by my right side. Thankfully, all the Krav Maga I've practiced during the years has given me an advantage. With my fast reflexes, I quickly moved to my left, kicked the wolf and stabbed it in the heart, easily and effectively killing him. Next came two wolves at the same time. The two came running at a fast speed towards me, but I just stabbed one in the eye, used him as leverage to get up the other one and stab it in the head. Then, the one that was left with only one eye came running towards me, but I just easily did a 360˚turn to my right side and stabbed it in the back. While he screamed in agony I just pulled out my knife and stabbed it in the back, right where his vertebrae are, completely paralyzing him from the waist down for life. I did that many times until there was only the alpha left. I was ready to counteract an attack when he suddenly started talking to me.

"You could be of great use, so I will do you a favor and not kill you. If you ever need anything, just contact me through an iris message. My name is Lycaon. Remember, anything you need I will come to your aid. You have proven yourself worthy of it" and just as fast as he said that he disappeared as if he was never there.

"Well that was weird," I said to myself

"Indeed. So are you ready for Camp?" Silena said out of nowhere. After just being attacked by eleven giant wolves, Silena always knowing where I was didn't seem as weird as before

"Yeah sure, let's go. And on the way maybe we can get to know each other"

"I'd like that Bucky"
