Child Of The Moon Ch.2
Half an hour till she comes! She will stay fifteen minutes then they will go on there date at Mic minimums, and I will meat Emma to go to the movies. So I decided with half an hour left why not play 'my fave video game?' So I logged onto the server and started battling aliens that are trying to control the world. This game is the only thing that can calm my ADHD so I end up playing it a lot. After twenty minutes of playing I heard the doorbell! I rushed down stairs to see a beautiful woman warring a short black dress. She had brown hair, big blue eyes, big red lips and not a single blemish. We'll lets just say she was gorgeous!
"Hello," Clare said with a beautiful voice, "what a lovely young lady!"
"Why thank you!" I said trying my best to act adult.
We talked for about ten minutes until an alarm went off and Clare pulled out her IPhone 5s and silenced the alarm.
"Ok sweetie we should probably get going." She said in a voice that I could tell she didn't want to go and leave me here alone.
"Ok Clare," my dad said in a happy tone "Johanna remember when you are at the movies with Emma to keep your pepper spray handy!"
"Ok dad love you have a nice date!"
After they left I put on my converse and grabbed all I would kneed to go to down town Portland.
"Pepper spray, check, cell phone, check, money, check" looks like I have everything!
I texted Emma to meat me I front of the theater then ran out of the house and down the street to the bus station, and sat down on the bench to wait for the bus. The bus showed up within twenty seconds of me siting down. I got on the bus and showed the driver my Tri-met transit pass and sat at the very back of the bus. The bus driver announced that there are no more stops between here and ware I wanted to be ( which is a max stop) during the ride I did another thing that helps my ADHD, listening to music and counting bumper stickers supporting sports teams. I saw some that say GO DUCKS!, GO BEAVS!, and Keep PORTLAND PURPLE! (For the Portland Pilots) it took fifteen minutes (and 102 bumper stickers) to get to the max stop. I got off the bus and parked myself on a bench to wait. The arrival board said next train in five minutes! Five minutes for a girl with ADHD is like years! So I got out my IPhone 5 and started playing the pocket version of the video game from before, and in no time the train pulled up. I sat in the very middle and waited for my stop still playing the video game. Once my stop came I got off and walked down the block to the theater. Emma waved to me over the crowed and I pushed my way to her.
"Hay!" Emma said in her signature fashion
"Sup?" I replied
"Not much, what movie do you want to watch?"
"How about Despicable Me 2?" I said 'cuz we both haven't seen it.
"Sure! I'll buy the tickets and you get the candy!" Seeing as we booth like lived on candy how could I refuse? So I went inside and got four bags of m&m's and a thing of popcorn and met Emma at the door. Right then is when I heard a loud crash and something that sounded like claws scraping the pavement and a lot of people screaming.
"What's happening!" I shouted over the screaming as we ran out of the building, when I saw what they where screaming about I dropped the popcorn which is kind of a waste but if you saw what I saw right then you would have dropped the popcorn too.
"Hydra." Emma said in aw. My jaw dropped it was an eight headed monster as big as a monster truck (which makes science if you think about it...
I pulled on my messenger bag and grabbed my pepper spray thinking wow I'm useless in this situation. What would pepper spray do in this situation!? I felt way unprepared. I wish I had a sword. Emma pulled out her taser which I'm wondering why a sixteen year old has a taser, but she pulls the safety off and it turns into a silver bow and quiver.
"Ok you go right I go left" she said in a voice that sounded like she dealt with stuff like this every day
"WHAT?!" I screamed, " what do you mean! I can't fight that thing! All I have is pepper spray! What do I do?"
"Spray it's eyes" she said like its obvious.
I looked at the monster and wondered how the hell am is opposed to get to the eyes when she handed me a knife.
"Here take this and annoy it." She said like she would take down the hydra herself. 'Ok Johanna you can do this, it's just a giant Dino nothing scary'
"Hay! Overgrown lizard!" I shouted the Hydra looked in my direction "Ya I'm talking to you! You bad breath ugly Dinosaur!" I could tell me calling him a Dino hit him hard because right then he roared and charged at me with a murderous look in his eyes. I screamed, yes I know that was extremely girly of me, but if a monster truck sized monster with eight heads was charging at you, you would have screamed too. Just when I thought I would be a chew toy for those eight heads an arrow pierced the monster between each of its eyes. Unfortunately that didn't work. The heads disintegrated but two more grew back. Why can't it just drop dead!
"Um how about we cut its legs off?" I said hopping that they wouldn't grow back too.
"Good thinking! Here's a sword!" She tossed me a small ring with a jewel that looked like it had moonlight in it. "To make it a sword kiss the stone!" She said yelling over the chaos.
"Um ok?" I kissed the stone and a long silver sword morphed out of the silver ring. "Wow" I murmured the sword was silver like moonlight and the little jewels from the ring where on the simple grip it was simple Greek style but beutiful.
"I'll get left you get right." She said with an unmistakable tone of command. I followed her lead and the whole world slowed down around me, I could anticipate the Hydras moves and dodge heads. I cut the first leg off, the scene red part turned to dust while the monster teetered, off balance from only havering one leg when the other leg was cut off by Emma. Finally the monster disintegrated leaving me bloody and sweaty, of corse if my girly scream wasn't enough I collapsed onto the pavement. Emma rushed over to me giving me a little gold square that tasted like my aunts famous quadruple chocolate brownies. Emma had a worried look in her eyes and she picked me up and put the sword in ring form and slipped it on my finger. Then I blacked out.
I dreamed I was watching that ridiculous story my dad told me about how he found me coming down in a ray of moonlight I had always thought it was ridiculous but in this dream it seemed so real like it actually happened. With the events from today I don't know what to believe.
"Yes I know you never beloved him but it is true." I heard a woman's voice behind me, I turned around and stumbled backward, the woman looked so much like me it was scary, the only difference was she looked like she was in her thirties and I looked fourteen.
"Wow... W-who are you?" I stammered
"I am Artemis goddess of the moon, the hunt and preservation, and your 'mother'" she made quotation marks with her hands when she said mother.
"What do you mean 'mother'?" I said completely baffled
"We'll I created you out of pure moonlight, so technically I'm your mother even though I did not give birth to you."
"Um..." My head was swimming with questions but she spoke first
"Would you rather be immortal huntress taking orders from me and swarming you will never date, or become a mortal worrier and be able to date?" She said it like it was the most serious decision of all time, we'll I didn't know what to say. Do I want to never date anybody or do I want to find true love? We'll the choice is clear.
"Hero, I choose hero because I want to see what true love is."
"Very we'll. I shall tell Emma to take you to camp half blood."
"Will I ever see you again?" I cried before I could wake up
"We will see." She replied and I woke up.
I was in a new place, the room was painted beige and it had a wooden door and a window with green curtains on it. Ok I'll get right to the point I panicked it was December and it was seventy five degrees and sunny. She must have heard my panicking because Emma rushed in and gave me a hug murmuring your alive over and over. I was about to ask ware we where when a man in a wheel chair rolled in and even though it was seventy five degrees he had a blanket on his lap. He must have seen my confused expression because he right away started explaining.
"Welcome Johanna, to Camp Half-Blood! How are you?" He said.
"We'll a little sore and freaked out, and wondering how my mom can be a goddess and me being born from moonlight and ware I am." I got right to my point not wanting to take any lies from this guy.
"As I said you are at Camp Half-Blood and we will explain to you a little more after dinner if you are up to having the best food you have ever had." Just then my stomach growled loudly and I couldn't help from grinning.
"Bring it on!" With a huge grin on my face Emma helped me out of bead and we headed to a large place with food and people and tables, I had just got here and I could already tell I would love it.
