A.N. Hey guys! Thanks for the review and I know that this story doesn't stand out yet, but hopefully this chapter will change that. And I know that Melody is really really full of her self, she is supposed to be, it might get her into trouble later. I do have a Beta. Please give a round of applause to RainbowShadows. Don't forget to review. No flames please. Disclaimer in Greek:
Aren't I cool!
It was coming closer. The light was coming towards her. As it got closer she realized it wasn't just a light it was shaped like a boar it was glowing and moving faster and faster. She was mesmerized by it until she remembered that it was coming at her! She tried to scream because it didn't look like it was going to stop, but no sound came out of her mouth. She tried to back up but her feet didn't move. Run run run! She thought, but her whole body was frozen. The boar kept coming. It was looking right at her as if making sure that she was the right person. Then it decided that she was and started to run faster. It was going to hit her! It was right in front of her when it stopped. She could feel the heat of its breath right in her face. It looked at her and said… wait! Said! It's a pig it can't talk well I guess I should stop being freaked out about all of this. My teacher turned into a slimy human sized bat for heavens sake! Anyway it said "Hello my daughter" with absolutely no emotion.
After that all I could remember was being shocked and confused. I'm half Greek god and now I'm half pig! But that's impossible! I don't have a snout!
"Um…are you okay?" A tall blond girl who looked more than a little scared of me asked.
"Yeah… I think so, but I just had the weirdest dream… never mind." I just met her I really didn't want her to think that I was crazy.
"Could you please tell me what it was about? It could be important; Demi-gods tend to get dreams that mean things. Like messages from our parents." Um… either she's really smart, or I'm really dumb. Well let's face it she has to be smart because we already know that I'm not dumb.
"Sure, I guess, it wasn't really that big a deal. This huge boar-like thing was running at me and I couldn't move then it stopped right in front of me and told me that it was my dad." Now that I think about it, it was rather funny. Wow. I can't believe I was scared before. I chuckled.
"Now that I said it out loud it sounds really stupid." She wasn't laughing though.
"Wow. That was fast. Well looks like you'll be getting your tour early. Lets get down to the big house." I wonder what she was thinking. It was a stupid dream about a pig. How could she think that could be important?
We arrived at a giant white marble building that I guessed was the big house. We walked inside and there were two old guys at a table. Well one of them was just an old guy drinking coke, but the other was an old guy that had the lower body of a horse.
"Unicorn!" I blurted out without thinking. I immediately covered my mouth.
"Ha ha! Actually I'm a centaur. If you want to see unicorns check the woods." Adding, "see a unicorn" to mental checklist.
"So I see you've already met Annabeth. You're getting off to a fast start!" The other guy just grunted.
"Yes, she has had a speedy start. In fact, Chiron, she has already gotten a message from her godly parent. Please give a warm welcome to our newest daughter of Areas!" My brain went dead. Areas. How is that possible? I have never even fought in my life. Well there was that one time in 4th grade when Cody kept tugging on my pigtails so I pummeled him into a pulp. And that one time in 5th grade when Grace told me that I couldn't be friends with her because I hung out with hope. And that other time when oh… I get it now. I didn't thing that fighting would ever be my whole life though. I guess I am fairly good at it. I just thought that since, my name is Melody, I love music, I healed faster than the other campers, and I love poetry, that I would be a daughter of Apollo. I'm the best archer that I know. Well I guess I'm just going to have to live with it.
"Annabeth, Why don't you show Melody her cabin." Chiron said.
"Um, are you sure that is the best idea Clarice is not in a good mood…" Annabeth looked worried.
"If she is a daughter of Areas, she can handle it." He seemed calm, but I thought there was some worry in his eyes.
"Alright then, lets get going Melody."
We approached a large building that was spray painter red. There was loud punk rock music playing that we could probably hear from a mile away. I could see people running around inside through the window. They were wearing grungy T-shirts and old beat up baggy jeans. I looked down at my skinny cords and pink and brown argyle sweater. I. Am. going. To. Die. Why do they think that I belong in this cabin? I am the complete opposite of them. I am preppy. They are slobs. I am clean.They are dirty. I am talented. And they look like they couldn't pass 1st grade math. They are huge. I am petite. I. Am. Doomed.
A.N. Sorry its too short but I will update again. Hopefully soon.
