3RD CHAPTER of Hayley Woodard, the lost daughter of Hera

*Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Percy Jackson

Hayley's POV

"What have you done Hera? Is it not I who told you to not linger on human beings?"

What's this?

I was in some place that I had never ever seen in my entire life! There were pillars, temples everywhere. A giant person was standing in front of me quarrelling over some other giant that I assume that her name is Hera. I engulfed myself over the place. The place was HUGE! At the back of the 2 quarrelling giants were approximately 12 seats, curved in a semi circle.

"Now you dare blame me for what I have done? Zeus, honey, I don't want to argue with-" Before Hera can continue her argument, Zeus interrupted with a grumble of thunder.

"How can we not argue of the situation at hand? You have made a decision on the throne of Hestia to swear that you will not have a child from a human! Dare you say I should not worry? Dare you say I should not be understood of my feelings?"

"But my poor daughter..."

As she said this, she collapsed into one of the chairs behind her while she had dainty tears prickling down from her face. As she held both of her hands to cover her face she mumbled,

"I do not blame you Zeus for your feelings nor do I regret having a child from a human. It is quite unfair that you get to have lots of wives, while me, oh poor me, just lay here acting like I don't care. It is unfair of almost all of the Olympian gods have children that came from the human race and can be proud when these children of theirs triumph over saving us or their own kind! Look at your daughter, Thalia. You have to admit that she made you proud when she had the success of helping another famous child of Poseidon, Percy Jackson!"

Hera continued sobbing while Zeus on the other hand had his hand in the air in a mid stop, thinking if he might slap Hera or not. But he clasped his hand into a fist and kept it to his side. He approached a great balcony ahead and folded his arms in a sign of thinking, glancing over head the view from his balcony. (Though I may add, the view didn't look that interesting since it had darks clouds all over while rain poured heavily also thunder can be heard a hundred times louder there.)

"What's the name of your daughter if I may ask?" Zeus looked quite hesitant of asking this question. There was a touch of regret over his voice.

Hera looked quite familiar... She appeared as to floating on air whenever she would walk. She had this flow-y dress that had intricate detail of pearls and jewels of every kind. The dress appears that it can change color depends on her mood and right now it had the shade of dark purple. Her hair was tied in a loose bun, twirled bundles of hair dangling. Her head had a golden laurel glowing with pride.

Zeus, on the other hand, was this buff, business looking man who had a gray beard and gray hair. He was dressed in a pinstripe suit which fitted him well. His eyes were gray and when you looked closely it may make you feel chilly inside.

"Her name is..."

~O~O~O~O~

"Is she waking?"

"I don't know, though her eyes are twitching."

"Twitching?"

"Yes, TWITCHING!"

I pushed myself up to sit and think that where the hell am I, when I saw my now legal parents.

I rubbed my eyes and finally said, "Mom, Dad, where am I?"

They stared at each other for what seemed like forever, looking like they were having a secret conversation. My mom had on like a t-shirt which was orange that stated Camp Half Blood same as with my dad. Wait a minute...They look younger than before! It seemed that a while ago they had a few wrinkles on their faces but now they look like 17, 18 year olds.

"Hayley, you need to get some rest. Relax a bit, you know, chill..." She tapped my head in a soothing way more like in a motherly way. What was odd was that she obviously used the chill word and it made me think that it was not for adults to say in a mimic like way of teens. She stood up and gestured Dad that it was his turn to talk.

He brushed through his hair and sat next to me saying, "Your uhm mom is right. You need some rest and we'll be explaining loads of things later on. Trust me; you need rest, big time!" He winked and both of my now legal parents walked out of the room.

When they were gone, I sat straight up but rubbed my forehead since the pain was unbearable.

"What the-"

I glanced around the room and was in total shock of the whole new atmosphere. The room was enormous maybe the size of 5 long buses combined together. The room had marble pillars which were rapped with flower vines, much like in my vision or dream. There was a huge closet right up front made from, I'm guessing, expensive and rare trees. There beside the closet was a dresser that had peacock feathers for its decoration. The light of the room was coming from a grand chandelier. There was also a golden chest in front of the bed I'm currently sitting. What was cool was that there was this great sceptre that was floating. I quickly approached it and when I touched it, it glowed but before I could explore the sceptre more I noticed at the back of the sceptre, in the middle of the room was a tall marble statue. She looked familiar in a way that I felt a close relation to her. Woah! This is Hera!

I backed away from the statue and checked out my wardrobe. I really need to get out of these special clothes!

Once I opened the closet, I was surprised that inside was a few t-shirts that were same as those of my parents! Also there were a couple of jeans, 2 pairs of rubber shoes and 2 pairs of sneakers. I had no choice but to slip on one of the t-shirts, a pair of rubber shoes and jeans.

I rushed toward the door since I was too scared of finding what was beyond the door in front of me. I sucked up a big breath, turned the door knob and pushed myself out.

~O~O~O~O~O~

What a bizarre place! This place had the most isolated look ever. I felt that I was back in the medieval era. Kids and some teenagers were sword fighting by the trees, others was practicing bow arching. There were also a lot of obstacle courses! The only thing that was modern mostly was that these kids, teenagers were wearing the same thing I had on instead of knightly armours. Then a thought hit me, what the heck am I doing here? Am I in some jail were kids, teenagers are being forced to participate in an army? Where are my damn parents?

I rushed toward a building that looked like the main office building. When I finally approached the door and was about to knock, the door flew open.

"Hello young lady, I'm Chiron. Are you looking for your parents? If you are, just head straight toward the first room you meet at the hall to the left. There you'll find them."

"Thank you but may I ask where I am?"

"It's better if your parents would explain this matter. Go on, your parents are waiting."

I rushed toward the room that Chiron pointed me to. When I entered the room, my now legal parents was sitting across each other, on chairs that were made of wood but the table was authentic in a way that I've never seen before.

"Why so early my dear? I told you that you need some rest!" My mom had on a worried look.

"Uhh...Lindy uhm honey dear just relax and forget that she needs rest besides, she looks prepared enough!" My dad said reassuringly. My mom heaved a sigh and gestured to me to sit at the empty chair by the middle side part of the table.

"What do you mean I look ready enough? Are you arresting me? Are you going to tell me that I did something illegal that's why I blacked out?"

I had sweat rolling down my face and my eyes was filled with noticeable tears that were about to prickle down.

"Don't be tensed my dear, we just want to straighten things up a bit." My mom said.

"For starters this is Camp Half Blood, for kids that have secret lives hidden in them. Let's just get straight to the point. Ever wondered that who your true parents are? Well 1 of your parents is a god."

The whole time that they were explaining to me this whole situation I just had a shocked look pasted on my face.

"Finally, your training would start tomorrow. Although you're the first to be a daughter of... Hera."

"Hera? You mean a giant?"

"No, no. They are giant gods to be exact."

"So you're really not my parents, you like, just adopted me for this whole thing. But to be honest, I think you've got the wrong girl!"

"Ahh young demi-gods, I remembered myself saying this phrase too!"

They both laughed while me wanting for more information.

"Can you please explain more?"
"We will when it is the right time."

"Though it isn't us who would explain, it would be Dionysus and Chiron."

"Who are they?"

"You'll meet them soon enough! Go on it's time for your dinner, for now you'd be eating inside your room. Usually we eat all together along with the other demi-gods but we wouldn't want to surprise the others and yourself." Said my former legal parent.

"Oh okay so I'll just go. Thanks for the info!"

With that I headed off to my room and readied myself for a whole new experience waiting for me tomorrow.
