Chapter 1
Eva gritted her teeth. Her waist long brown flew behind. She was on the run from the police. She didn't know that blowing a hole in something was so wrong at school. She slowed down in a rundown ally. Her breath was quick and heavy. She didn't mean to blow a hole. It was those lizards' ladies. The suddenly changed from stupid cheerleaders to killer lizard ladies. They even had a tails and scales. She couldn't even defend herself much; she didn't have a blade or arrow, just her fists. The hole was made because they were in a science lab. She sighed then went to the long run down Main Street. She was sure that she was getting kicked out of this school this time. That would equal the forth one this year. Eva gave a look around; she actually had no clue where she was. She didn't have time to gather her phone, and/or her extra bag with cloths… or even her backpack. She heard some one step behind her. She turned to look; a girl about a year older than her looked at her from behind a wall. Eva could only see that she had dirty blond hair, Eva didn't know if it was from the dirt it's self or that color, and the eye color of stormy grey.
"Hello?" Eva called out. The girl stepped out; she held a butcher knife in front of her. Her clothes were tattered and mixed with grime and dirt, looked like they use to be jeans and a yellow-green camp tee. She had a crazed look in her eye, like she seen some secret and it was driving her crazy.
"W-Who are you…?" The girl trailed off. Eva put her hands up slowly. "My name is Eva, who are you?" The girl lowered the knife and Eva lowered her hands.
"I'm, uh, Jess, uh, have you seen any," Jess swallowed, she look embarrassed, "S-Spider around?" Eva frowned, "No, why?" Jess shrugged a little.
"I-I, uh, kind of have a mortal….mortal fear of them…" She trailed off again her voice got softer at the end, and then swallowed hard. Eva suddenly heard thumping behind her. A huge looking spider thing came out of the shadows. Jess stared, paralyzed with fear. Her face had the look of mortal terror. Eva rolled out of the way when one of its long legs tried to squash her.
"Give me the knife!" Jess just stood there; Eva ran and grabbed the butcher knife, then pushed Jess out of the way. The spiders' eight eyes looked at Eva's, "You are living on borrowed time demigod." It said. She heard of demigods, one parent a god, the other, a mortal. She gripped the knife until her knuckles turned white.
"You can talk?" The spider's eight eyes blinked at the same time. "Only your kind demigod, but after the message, I must kill you, for my own purpose." The spider crawled towards her.
"What's the reasoning to kill me, after you told me a message?" Eva asked the spider clicked its mandibles. "As I said my own purposes, now here is the message:"
"On the summer solstice, which is tomorrow, they will find you, they will help you, but if you fail with their help, you will cease to exist." The spider blinked again. Eva's eyes flickered to Jess who was behind her. She was gritting her teeth like she was trying not to scream
"Now I think it's time to kill you." The spider lunged at Eva; she stepped forward and sliced at one of its legs. Brown-black ooze dripped from the cut. The cut suddenly closed and all was left was a line indent. Eva looked at the spider in disbelief. It too that time to charged at her and knocked her over, "You can't win demigod." It said. Eva gritted her teeth, her hands turned warm a little because of an unknown source. Her eyes flickered down to see her hands encased in blue fire.
The spider looked down at Eva. "What's that smell?" Eva, without thinking, rammed her hand on its black body, the spider screamed with pain. After awhile the body flopped dead on top of Eva. Her hands where not flaming anymore, they had dark ooze. Her whole body was splattered with it. Jess ran to where she was. She pushes the spider off and looked down.
"Thanks for saving me." She said. Eva looked at her. Her eyelids droopy, her mind felt fogged up with tiredness, she smiled lazily, everything looked like a blur, and she fought o keep consciousness.
"Evil spider, need-need…toooo...sav-" Eva's eyes finally closed, and her head rolled to the side. The darkness that was at the edge of her vision took over.
Eva looked up at her mom, she was singing and smiling. The aroma of maple syrup and pancakes drafted to her nose. Eva took a deep whiff and sighed with pleasure. Her mom turned around and whipped her hands on her apron. She opened her arms and Eva jumped in. She put her arms around her moms' neck. Her mom smiled, Eva loved it when she smiled, her brown eyes, but hers where light gold, at the same time shined to.
"Oh Evelyn," Her mother sighed and held Eva to her chest, "You are my light." Eva smiled and held on to her mom tighter. Suddenly the scene changed. She was with her mom, the where going somewhere.
Eva looked up at her mom, her brown-blonde hair was whipping her face. "Mom, where are we going?" Her mom looked down, a weary smile on her lips. "I'm going to see your dad. You will stay with grandma." Eva frowned, she didn't like grandma, she smelled weird.
She shook her head, "I don't want to go…don't wana go …don't wana…"
"You have too-"
"Wake Up!"
Eva groaned. Her body hurt all over. She heard a voice. "She's up." There was a grunt. Then muttering
"Of course she was awake you idiot, you just yelled wake up in her ear." Eva opened her eyes, Jess, another girl, and a boy. They both were wearing orange t-shirts, jeans, and a string necklace with colored beads. The girl looked like Jess only her eyes where more intent, they didn't have the uncertainness to them. Plus she had a knife strapped to her ankle. The boy was tall; he had black hair and brown eyes. Eva sat up; the guy used her back down though.
"You okay?" Eva looked at the guy, he looked worried.
"I'm fine. Where am I? Who are you?" The girl seemed confused. "How are you okay? You have a temperature over 300 degrees!" The guy sighed.
"Calm down Annabeth. My name is Jeff Storn. Her name is Annabeth Chase. You are in the Health Center near the big house, what a great way to find Camp Half-Blood." Jeff looked at Annabeth who looked as confused as ever, then looked back at Eva shaking his head.
"But Annabeth's right. You have the temperature of over 300 degree, you should be in a coma or dead, even demigods have standers." Eva sat up.
"You guys are crazy, I feel fine." Annabeth looked away and stared out the door, her eyes foggy in thought and her arms crossed across her chest.
"Maybe….Maybe it's because of her god parent….Maybe is a sign…" She muttered, still deep in thought.
Eva got up, her back and hands where still sore, she stretched. She walked over to a window and looked out.
"Wow…" She breathed, the view was amazing. There where horse stables, a rock wall (It had a red liquid, lava, roiling down the sides), and a lake. There has to be much more, Eva thought. She could only see what was from the window. She looked back Jeff.
"Can I go out?" She asked. He looked nervous. "Um sure…just try not to get yourself killed." She didn't know if he was taking it seriously or just joking. She walked pasted Annabeth who was still looking out the door, mumbling to herself.
She ran down the steps, "This is such a cool place." She muttered. Her caramel eyes flickered and looked around. She looked behind her and saw Jess walking towards her.
"This is amazing!" She yelled to her. Jess nodded and smiled. Her grey eyes were still tense and had a slight crazy, but she looked cleaner, her hair was now blond, she was wearing a new shirt that was orange with a Pegasus and letters that say Camp Half-blood and new jeans.
"Yep… whoa," Jess stepped back. Eva furrowed her brows. "What?"
"Above your head," She pointed. Above her head was a glowing yellow orange sign. It looked like the sun, with flares coming off the side. Eva looked up; she only saw a glimpse of yellow. He sign moved with her. She swatted above her head.
"What is it?" Eva didn't feel anything.
"Um, A sign of a sun..." Annabeth came out, running. "I saw you running around, what-oh." Annabeth's eyes widened.
"Helios the sun," Eva's brows knitted. "Wait, so is there a sun that I didn't know about?" Annabeth sighed like it was a question asked every day.
"There are two suns. One that scientists made up, and ours, Helios was the original sun with the chariot, Apollo took his place when he died…Actually; tectenily he lost his immortality." Annabeth rubbed the back of her head. "Hm, how did he…." Annabeth started to pace, the sign wavered and disappeared.
"That explains about your hands and the burning." Annabeth stopped walking and looked at her.
"She did what?" Annabeth's grey eyes narrowed. Eva blinked.
"Her hands started to glow and when she touched the spider, it…kind of burned it." Jess swallowed. Annabeth turned around and grabbed Eva's arm.
"We need to see Rachel."
