Woah, so far one review and I'm already excited enough to write the next chapter. Really, in this chapter, it's gonna be some freshening up. I haven't actually read the series in a while so correct me on my mistakes. Ooh, an important thing, this takes place during Order of the Pheonix and after Blood of Olympus.(Pretty cliche, I know.) I'm trying really hard to make Jack NOT a Mary Sue. And, she won't. She seems a little bit too, friendless in my opinion. She has friends, but she likes being alone most of the time, and most people just don't realize that. And for now, hopefully, you like this chapter.


O.C POV (Because I can)

The boy eventually left my side and I fell asleep. My dream was, well, weird. I wasn't myself for once. I was like a camera, panning and looking around. The only problem was, I couldn't see anything. It was pitch black. Okay, I could see some things. That's how I knew I was moving around, but I couldn't see anything figuratively. So my job here was to listen. I waited around until I then heard a voice which sounded like it belonged to a woman, maybe in her twenties or thirties.

"The plan is taking action now. She will most likely soon have to travel to Scotland." Plan? That sounds very evil-ish. Or maybe that's because I've grown into immediately detecting people as villains if they say something about a plan working. Or just maybe I was watching too many movies. Then a thunderous voice started talking and stopped my train of thought. It was rough, but not as rough as an old mans'.

"And why is that? I thought your plan was for her to protect your people! Not travel with them!" The voice rumbled, clearly annoyed.

"Because the school is in Scotland. It would make absolutely no sense to make her protect my people without even knowing them or where they are. Besides, the plan isn't just protecting, I also need her to guide them." The first voice answered. Now, I was just worried. This all seems too real, and even if it's a dream, it doesn't feel like a normal one.

"And when exactly are you going to put her through this?" The deeper voice questioned.

"Soon enough."

That was the last thing I heard before I woke up.

I opened my eyes and sat up only to be greeted with another headache. I shut my eyes tightly hoping it would just go away, but it only started to grow more. I opened my eyes once more and laid back down. I didn't go back to sleep. I just sat there, tossing and turning every once and a while. It still didn't go away. So I tried the alternative, or plan B. Just ignore it and think of things that make you happy. And you know the first thing I thought of? Feeling loved. I know, pretty cheesy. But that feeling makes me warm, knowing that there are people in the world who do care. And not just caring for me, but for others, too. It made me feel happy on the inside.

Having that nice feeling still bubbling up, the headache started to slowly fade until it stopped completely. I sat back up and smiled in relief. I then quietly whispered to myself, "Finally."

I tried getting up, making sure that Will wasn't around to see me do so. I swear, that person is always in here. As I was trying to sleep before, I could hear his footsteps moving everywhere.

I stood up and got onto my feet. Gosh, it felt nice knowing that my feet and legs still function correctly. I started walking, trying to find a way out. And I when I did, I stopped. I breathed in and out slowly. Then, I broke into a run.

I ran as fast as I could, I just wanted to get out of here. I don't care if they technically did save my life, weird things have been happening ever since I came here.

While I was trying to escape, I noticed that people were staring at me. Of course, they would. Well, only the people who weren't fighting or sparring each other were. And that was something I definitely noticed first. Why were these people fighting each other? There were even using swords and spears. I know this was a camp, but I feel like it might put some kids in danger. What if they got hurt? I wanted to know more. But at the same time, I didn't want to.

As I reached a deserted area, assuming it was the "exit", my legs started to slow me down. I wanted to joke around, I mean, at school I would always be like, "Ah, spaghetti legs," but right now, I honestly didn't want to.

So I kept on running.

And eventually, I "escaped" Camp Half-Blood. Yay.

No.

Right when I reached the end of this ginormous pine tree, I collapsed. No, not like collapsed as like I was so tired. I was, but I hit something. Like a wall. I looked up, knowing that there was no wall, but expecting to see something. Yet nothing was there. It was like an invisible force trying to make me stay inside Camp Half-Blood.

Why? Why am I forced to be here? It's as if now the gods have forbidden me to leave.

"Haven't I been through enough?" I asked the sky. Thunder rumbled. I wasn't going to give up, of course, I wouldn't, but then a voice called from behind.

"I found her!"

I looked back and saw a pretty girl running towards me. She had long caramel hair made into a braid, and it flew behind her as she ran. Once she reached me, two other people were following behind. They were both boys, one with very messy black hair and dirty clothes looking like he was just digging holes a few minutes ago, and the other was, well, Will Solace.

As I braced myself for a lecture, a soft hand touched my shoulder.

"Why did you run away? We were looking all over for you. We wanted to introduce you to the camp once you felt better," the girl quietly spoke.

"I-I..." I hesitated to answer. Should I tell them the truth? Or should I tell a lie? Lying is bad, but being honest was hard. I didn't want questions to be asked if I told them the truth. I just wasn't good with that. So I decided.

"I just wanted to sit in the grass," I lied. The dark haired boy scoffed.

"Yeah, and now I'm a girl. Get up, we need you to come back." The girl looked at him with an expression that looked like she was mentally asking him, "Why did you just say that?"

I finally got up from my sitting position and started walking back.

"Hey, where are you going? We weren't finished discussing this," Will murmured.

I waved my hand to them without looking behind as I kept walking.

"I'm going exactly where you guys want me to go." There was a pause.

"Back."


I guess I got carried away. Freshen up chapter is next update. I noticed that this was shorter than the chapter before, and I'm honestly annoyed by that. But I don't want to write more as I think I left off on a good ending. No, I'm not going to abandon this. If I was, I would tell you. I'm definitely planning to write chapters longer soon. Now it's time for questions and reviews.

1. "Update schedule?" As for the schedule, again. I said I was going to update at least once or twice a week. I could boost it to three if I have time. The latest would be Saturday and the earliest would be Sunday.

2. GodzNo - Congrats on being the 1st reviewer! And thank you. Don't worry, you will find out why.

3. IcyFox17 - Haha! Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it. And thank you to you too.
