Camp Hero

You run up a hill. A five huge hellhounds -at least almost as large as a truck- are chasing you. One leaps in your direction. You scream in terror and speed up a large grassy hill. The hellhound you escaped landed on a rock with a loud thud. You don't bother to look back at it to see if it was dead or not, you just kept on running. Soon, you reach the top of the hill. You see a huge maple tree. Beyond that tree, there was this great white mansion-looking thing with way more than 100 acres of land surrounding it. You gasp. You can't let this rich family get killed by the hellhounds! You turn around to face the hellhounds and you start throwing rocks at them. Luckily, you throw some big rocks at three hellhounds. There was only one left. You feel a tug of dread because the hellhound left was the quickest and biggest out of the five. You reach in your pocket and get out your small pocket knife, but the hellhound is too fast. It leaps onto you and tears you into shreds...

Your eyes flutter open and you find a pretty and athletic looking girl with curly blonde hair. She has large green eyes. Apparently, she's spoon-feeding you something. You look around in the room you are in. It's big and cream-colored. You sit up, and the girl sets the spoon down and tells you that you should lay back down. You ignore her. "Who are you?" You ask instead of obeying her. She shoots you a warning glare before she says, "I'm Zoey." You quickly lay back down. "You mean like Atlas's daughter?" "No. I'm Annabeth Chase's daughter. Want to guess who my father is?" You shake your head, but she tells you anyways. "Percy Jackson." You let that sink in before you blackout again.

When you wake up again, Zoey is gone. Instead, a boy with black hair and gray eyes is sitting by your bed, reading a magazine. He looks up. "Oh, hi there. I'm Luke, Zoey's twin brother." He looks down and goes back to reading. You stand up. You feel much better now. You walk to the door and open it up. If Luke noticed that you got out of bed, he didn't look up. You look around. You find yourself standing in a hallway. The walls of the hallway are made of beautiful dark green marble. Soon enough, you hear hoof steps. You whip around and see a half woman-half horse creature standing before you. "Welcome to Camp Hero, young Half-Blood. Have you heard of Camp Half-Blood before?" She asks you. You nod. Of course you've heard of Camp Half-Blood! Didn't this creature know that you learned about that stuff in 3rd grade? The creature studies you. "I'm Kathryne, the centaur. I am one of Zeus's children, and I am the head consular." Kathryne has long dark brown hair with brown eyes. She has pointed ears that are pierced. She has a brown horse's body with black hooves and tail. Kathryne also has a huge black bow with a pack of arrows. She wears this tan, leather shirt-thing, and she has a black choker and armband on her left arm, both which are embedded with diamonds. On her right wrist, she wears a golden bracelet-thing, and on her left, a leather, long bracelet-thing. Around her waist, there's a leather belt. It has a wooden mace on one side, and a leather pouch on the other, filled with goods, such as money, 'Food of the Gods', and vitamins. She has a saddle bag on her back, made out of a white wool blanket. It has another leather pouch on it filled with more goods, a small guitar-thing, and a round-thing that had a long line of pearls wrapped around it. You stare at her. She narrows her eyes at you, but shakes it off and looks past you, at a lust green forest. "You should start training," she advised. "But why? I'm just a person who wants to get on with their life!" You protest, "Why do I need to start training, and why do I have monsters following me where ever I go?" Kathryne raises an eyebrow. "You are a demigod. Have you not already guessed?" You guiltily look at the ground. Yep. You were sure you were a demigod, but you didn't know whether your dad was the god or your mom because you've never met any of them before. You live with your grandparents. "I will be training you until we get a sign about who your mother or father is," she tells you, "Go visit the Front Desk over there, and then meet me in the Forest."
