Not so long ago there was a girl that dreamed that she was a part of something more than just her world. Little did she know that her wish was about to come true.

Chapter One

River was breathlessly laughing as she came in from outside.

"That was so funny when Elijah hit Mrs. Lars with the frisbee wasn't it?" she said.

"It sure was" said Ali.

As they entered the lunchroom River stopped short. "Oh no" she gasped. Standing in the lunchroom were three cyclopes. What was most surprising was that only two people could see them beside her. Her best friend's sister, Eliza and her friend John.

Simultaneously, the three cyclopes growled, "Where is the daughter of Poseidon?". River didn't know what came over her but suddenly she realized the truth that she had hidden from herself so long.

"I am the daughter of Poseidon you filthy jerks!" In that moment she changed. Her thick, shoulder length brown hair grew and was pinned back in a braid. Her T-shirt and shorts changed into hunting clothes of leather and sturdy linen. A bow was strapped across her back with a quiver. A sword and daggers were on her belt as well. What changed most perhaps was her face. It changed from looking like a scared girl into a worthy huntress with anger clearly written across it.

"For coming here and threatening me, you will die."

River sprang up and flipped across tables and people. The gymnastics that they witnessed seemed impossible for mankind. Once she reached the cyclopes she became a blur of movement, kicking and stabbing at every opportunity. When she finally had defeated them, only dust remained.

"They came here for me but you and John could see them as well" River said to Eliza and John. "That probably means you have godly blood as well."

Eliza spoke, "This means we have to leave, don't we?"

"Yes but if you can see them that probably means so can Sarah." Said River

"You're right, but if they knew about you, what about our parents?" Eliza said.

River gasped, "I didn't think about it that way." "Getting Sarah safe should be our first priority and finding our parents should be the second."

At Grady Brown

"Eliza, River what are you doing here?" said Sarah.

"No time to explain Sarah." Eliza said.

"Listen sis, I don't know what's going on but my gut tells me I need to know!"

"Fine but it will have to be fast."

While Eliza explained what was going on to Sarah, John and River were arguing.

"I don't know River, this seems too dangerous and I don't want anything to happen to you."

"I appreciate the sentiment John, but this is the only way and you know it!"

Eliza and Sarah walked over.

"What are you two arguing about this time River?" Sarah asked.

"I'm convinced that the cyclopes weren't working alone. I think they set a trap for me at my house and I think I'm just the girl to spring it."

"You mean alone! You are not going to go there alone!" Shouted Sarah.

"That's exactly what I told her but she won't listen!" Said John.

" I'm going alone and that's final! I don't want any of you getting hurt and you will have to beat me black and blue to stop me!" Said River.

"When you're stubborn you sure are stubborn, and that is why I love you so much." Said John before kissing her.

When he stopped, River looked like a fish gasping for air.

Eliza said "Whoa, did not see that coming!"

River said, "John, why did you do that?"

"You could die going there, if I didn't do that before you died I would never forgive myself."

"Unless anyone else wants to make out with me I better go." Said River.

With that, River departed Grady Brown, perhaps to her death, no one knew.
