I am trying to get the chapters out as fast as possible, but for some it might take a while; I'm having a busy summer. I enjoy your reviews and I do read every one, so please, tell me what you think!

Disclaimer: It is a tragedy that I own nothing but the plot of this story...

I woke up in a world of pain, my left arm felt like it was being pounded with an anvil. It was dark and I couldn't see anything, but I heard snatches of people talking.

"...Wonder what they were doing..." "...found this boy...smaller than the other..." Oh goodness, they were talking about Carter! "...Take him...go back to camp..." They were kidnapping him! What is this camp and what do they think they are doing!?

I heard the sound of whooshing like giant wings, The flying horses! They were really taking my brother away! At this point it was all too much for my muddled brain and I went out cold again.

Carter

"Uff-moo-buh-huuhhh." Gee, why did my head hurt so bad? I wondered where I was and I opened my eyes. I was in a soft, squishy bed in a small room with light blue walls. There was a girl with blond hair leaning back in a camp chair next to the bed. She was studying me with a scrutinizing expression.

When she saw I was conscious she said, "Finally, your awake. What were you and the other three you were with doing at that museum?" She waited for me to reply but I had no idea what she was talking about, so i said, "Uh, what, museum? I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, what is this place, where am I?" "Don't change the subject. You know perfectly well what I'm talking about, and who are you anyway?" Her question startled me, I didn't know who I was, but I thought my name might be Carter. "Carter, I think." I said. "What do you mean, 'you think'? It's a simple question" She said. "I don't know, I can't remember, I don't remember anything." I replied.

"So we have an amnesic, do we?" Said a new voice. I looked over and saw a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes standing in the doorway. He must have walked in without either of us noticing. "Annabeth, why don't you go tell Chiron he's awake. I want to talk with Carter here." He said. "But Jason-" Annabeth (that must be her name) started to say, but the boy, Jason, gave her a look and she said, "Fine." She walked out, shutting the door quietly behind her.

Jason took her place in the chair. He looked me in the eye and said, "So you really don't remember anything? Where you were before this, any of the people you knew?" His question hit me like a stone, I really didn't remember anything. "No." I said disconsolately.

"Well," Jason said. "I can at least tell you a bit about where you are and how you came to be here. Do you know any thing about ancient mythology, like the gods and stuff?" Hmm, ancient gods, I wonder why that seems familiar, I thought. "Yeah, like how they had control over stuff and each was god of a certain thing?" I replied. He said, "Yes, you sure seem to know a lot. But anyways, this may come as a surprise, but those very same gods are still around today." I nodded and wondered why I took it so calmly. It was an absurd idea, but I felt as if I already knew.

"So anyways, these gods, like Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite and all the others (their Roman aspects as well, mind you), they still have children with mortals like they did way back when. These 'children of the gods,' so to speak, are called demigods, or half-bloods; half mortal, half god." He went on. I was a little confused, so I said, "But if demigods were-I mean are, half god, than wouldn't they be immortal?" "No, we're only half god I guess, so thankfully, we're not." He replied. Okay, now I was really confused. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up, what do you mean, 'we', and why 'thankfully'?" I asked. "Oh," he said, the corners of his mouth turning up a bit. "I guess I forgot to mention that I'm a demigod, son of Jupiter, the Roman aspect of Zeus. And just imagine watching your friends and family growing old and dying, while you just stayed immortal. Pretty terrible huh?" I said, "Yeah, I guess that would be." Jason continued on, "You don't seem to be a demigod, but you have an aura of strong magic, so I'm confused on that part.

"But now on to the easier stuff! You are at a place called Camp Half-Blood, a sort of haven for kids like me. Because you see, all the monsters from ancient Greek and Roman mythology are still around as well. They hunt demigods down and attack them, so that's why we have this place. We train to fight and kill monsters here. There is a Roman camp in California, but that's another story entirely.

"And... There was something else I was going to say, Oh right! Lets see, how you got here. The People here often receive news of strange things happening in Brooklyn, but they didn't ever really bother with it. That is, until a week ago, when we heard reports of strange white fires racing through Brooklyn, and explosions and stuff at the Brooklyn museum.

"I went with some other campers to see what was going on. We went to the museum first, seeing as that seemed to be where it all started. We flew in through the broken window in the roof and saw you there with three other kids your age." He paused to take a breath, then continued. "We didn't know who you were or what you were doing there, But we could see you weren't mortals. A girl was in the middle of the room, chanting, and... I get it now! It was some sort of spell..." Jason sat there for a moment staring into space, and then shook his head like he was clearing it and said, "Sorry, my ADHD was getting the best of me; I can't sit still thinking of the same thing for long. A lot of demigods ave ADHD or something like it because we are hardwired for battle; without it, we wouldn't stand a chance in battle.

Anyways, back to what I was saying. I walked up to a girl and we had a short conversation before Annabeth (one of the ones who went with me) ran up to me and said that basically the building would collapse any second. Right then though, it did collapse, burying all of us with it.

"When I woke up after being briefly knocked unconscious I started looking for you and your friends. Two of the people who came with me were okay and were trying to calm the frightened pegasi we had flown there on. When I found you you were out cold with a large cut on your head, so I took you to my friends who had found the other girl I had come with, who was also knocked out. We didn't have any more room for anyone else which I feel bad for, but we only had two pegasi, so what were we to do? Anyway, we took you and the other girl here to camp and then the boy and I went back to look for your friends while Annabeth stayed behind to help here.

"When we got back to the museum we searched for like, and hour and a half, but the three that were with you had just disappeared. Now pretty much, that was putting it in a nutshell." Jason concluded. "You are a very good listener you know," he told me. "Heh, I'm just tired I guess..." I replied. Jason said, "I'll let you get some sleep, Chiron, our camp activities directer, will want to talk to you later. See you then I guess," he said. I said back, "Bye, and thanks." He looked confused, "For what?" "For everything." I replied.

Sorry is was kinda boring, but at least it was longer! (now you say sarcastically, "Yay, the boring chapter was the longest one yet!") There was really a lot to say though... Is it just me, or do I seem to be repeating that part in the first chapter over and over?

Aaanywaays... Please review! You can just say anything, even criticism, it helps me improve my story! (you don't have to be rude about it though, just saying...) Also give me ideas, I NEED THEM! If you want the story to be more exiting that is. (I do!) Even if you think the idea is lame or whatever, still tell me! If you don't want to publicly display your idea in a review, go ahead and PM me.
