2 minutes after we got on the road, Shawn said "Okey. I need to tell you what this is all really about."
" You got a job at a summer camp and I'm going there for the summer, right?" I said.
"That's true, but its not the whole story." he said.
"You see, this camp is for special people. It's for... children of the ancient greek gods."
"Yeah, right." I replied.
"I know its hard to take in, but its true. And I'm one of them. I'm a son of Hecate, goddess of magic.
"Yeah. Sure." I didn't buy it.
He interrupted my thoughts by saying "It's true. You don't think Corey and I pulled all those pranks without using a little abra-cadabra, do you?Mom left when I was a baby. Gods do that. And that's what your dad is: a greek god."
I hesitated. It was still crazy, but it would make sense. Dad left just after I was born. But is was insane. The greek god don't exist.
"That's what 'half blood' means- half god, half human." he said.
"All that proves is that my dad is a jerk." I replied.
"I can't make you believe me. All I can do is tell you that it's true."
"Than why didn't I know this earlier?"
"Once demigods find out their true identity, their scent becomes stronger to monsters. In fact, we're probably being pursued by hungry monsters right now."
"What?" I said.
"Don't worry." he said. "I'm a very experienced demigod. I'm sure I can handle what come. Besides, we're going to be there in one hour."
Suddenly, we herd something that sounded like a stampede. A stampede of horses.
They sounded a long way off, but coming fast. "Are those horses?" I said, though I thought I already new the answer. "Horses don't come to kill demigods. I believe those are wild centaurs." he answered. He told me to get out of the car. Then he opened the truck and took a sword out of his bag. "Wow! Is that a real sword?" I said.
He didn't answer, but I could tell that it was.
"Don't I get a weapon?" I asked. "You will get one at camp." he said.
"If I survive thought long" I thought to myself. "They'll be here any minute. Take cover."
Just as the words came out of his mouth, I heard a terrible war cry. I hid behind the car. but I could see through the window. Then, to my horror, the dam broke. About a hundred monster that were horse from the waist down and and scruffy, dirty man from the waist up came charging at Shawn.
I thought he was a goner. But actually, he was really quick. And he knew how to use that sword, too. He killed two of the centaurs in two seconds. He ran, dodged, and stabbed for what seemed for forever. I thought that he might actually beat all of these monsters. But finally one caught him off guard and left a good sized cut in his right arm. That was it for me. I was Maya Hart, and I wasn't going to hide when my friend was getting killed by a horsey-man. I ran into the fight, grabbed a random centaur's club, and attacked the centaur who had hurt Shawn. Once I had taken care of him, went after another, than another, ect. In only an hour I killed every last centaur. I noticed that Shawn was still hurt but okey.
"Wow" was all he said.
To fill the silence, I said "What do we do now?"
"Now, we continue driving to Camp Half Blood."
We headed to the car which was amazingly not destroyed in the fight.
"We better hurry." he said.
He hit the gas, and soon we were going 65 miles per hour.
"So. Do you believe me now?" he said.
"I will if you promise to stop talking for the rest of the ride. My head hurts."
"Okey, but the ride is over."
Shawn let out a daydreamy sigh. I looked outside and saw what I thought was an empty field start shimmering, and suddenly I saw a busy summer camp in front of me.
"Here we are: Camp Half Blood."
