Percy Jackson and Camp No Blood Book 3
Chapter 1- A Strange Night
Please do not hate me Annabeth. If you are reading this than hopefully, you will understand that I did not mean to cause what I did. That thing that I caused being the potential destruction of the entire world. I do not know why this stuff always happens to me either and right now, I wish that I could send a letter back in time to the same night it happened but I cannot. What has been done is done.
On the very same night that it all started, I was lying in bed flipping between some reality TV show and the news. I was bored out of my mind and could not wait until I returned to Camp No Blood in a couple of days. Then again, all this bad stuff usually happened when I went there like how this evil man-eating vampire named Chris started building up an army of traitors to fight against us. You see, his army betrayed our kind by drinking the blood of a human because the blood of a human is much more satisfying than animal blood. They are trying to rebel against anyone who tries to stop them. To make things worse I am supposed to stop him because I have the unique ability where I fight like crazy and kill anyone who I am fighting. This happened in my first fighting class when I collaborated up with my friend Lex and almost killed him.
I let go of the television remote and decided I would go outside and get myself a rabbit for breakfast. I know what you're thinking; breakfast at night? But hey, I'm a vampire. Using my night vision skill, I crept outside and turned into a bat so I could scan the ground for any traces of life.
"You're mine!" I said as I did a complete ninety-degree angle and plummeted toward a squirrel sitting lazily on a branch. I caught it in my mouth and flew back to my room.
After having meal I noticed how it was getting quite dark now and just as I was about to go back to the television I heard something just outside my window. I looked over and almost jumped out of my skin. A face was staring back at me; if you would call it a face. It had incredibly long incisors and black, burnt skin. Its hand, which was reaching through the open window I had just flown in through, had extremely long talon-like fingernails. I blinked and the thing vanished as quickly as it had appeared.
"What was that thing?" I asked myself while also trying to figure out why it was reaching through the window. "What did it want? "
Suddenly, I smelled something burning and noticed a lit match on the rug. The room was on fire in an instant. I turned into a vampire bat and grabbed my friendship bracelet from Annabeth off my desk. I had just enough time to get out of the house before I was fried to a crisp. By the time I touched the ground the entire house was just a pile of ash. My mother thankfully had gotten out and was crying on her knees next to me.
I knew at once who had done this. My mind flashed back to Camp No Blood last year when I had trapped Chris inside a burning cabin. I knew he had escaped somehow and this was his way of getting revenge on me.
"At least I know he's weak, he had to get someone else to do it for him." I thought as I stared at the sky. I screamed into the sky and turned into a bat. I was going to Michael's house. If Chris was going to start up an army so was I.
