If only...

The door nob turned all the way around and the door opened. I tried to act like I was sleeping but I was completely hidden behind my blanket so it was probably suspicious. The man spoke, "Adosvin cra."

The blanket lifted of my bed and flung onto the floor as I was also floating two. "Bu- how?" I stampered.

"Stop fake sleeping and get dressed," he said sternly.

"I'm not going anywhere with you!"

"Yes you are. I need to take you to camp half blood."

"Is that like a place for vampire's or something? Are you are vampire sorcerer!?"

"No it's a place for demigods."

"Half gods... half VAMPIRE SORCERER GODS!"

"IT'S HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VAMPIRE SORCERERS! Now, I need you to come along because I have magic and I'm not afraid to use it."

"I would but you kinda have to put me down."

He sighed and dropped me down on the bed. I jumped up and got dressed. He silently opened the door and we crept down the stair's. "You know," I whispered. "I'm only coming with you because I want to get away from this place."

"Shut-up until we get outside."

"That is a very mean word."

" Can you please just be quiet!"

"Fine."

We got outside and got into his car. Yeah nice move Theo. Let's get into a stranger's car. That's a really smart idea. Beside the stupidity of it I got in the car. We took of flying down to the beach. "So what's your name?" I asked.

"None of your business."

"It kind of is because you're sort of kidnapping me..."

"Fine, my name is Reynold Fawner. I'm a satyr and son of Hecate."

He took of his hat and turned around. I wasn't able to see him in the dark light but know I could see him more clearly. He had dark skin but had bright purple hair. His tiny goatee was also purple. To my surprise he had two horns on the top of his head. "Whoa...you're a goat man!" I exclaimed.

"Sure. I'm a goat man."

"A goat vampire sor-"

"DON'T even start it."

I giggled. I looked out the window. The moon was shining bright in the sky with the stars glittering around it. I paused. Why did I get in the car with this man. This is exactly what they told you not to do in school. Well at least he wasn't offering me any candy. I looked back out the window and something fast and dark flew around the car. Um... there is something out there..."

"It's fine it's just wolves. Their my assigned guardian animal. Everyone has one in Hecate."

I let out a breath. Just wolves... just dark purple and black wolves...just dark purple and black wolves with red eyes. I shifted down in the seat, resting my head under the window and looked at the sky through the other one.Wow. Wolves are scary.

We arrived in a parking lot nearby a woods. Reynold got out but with all the wolves I didn't want to do the same. Finally I stepped out of the car, shaking and slowly moved over to Reynold. "Don't be afraid," he said "They feed on fear and if you give them too much they will really do something fearful."

I calmed my self down as we started walking through the woods. The wolves were trailing behind us so I carefully stayed behind Reynold. He led me down a narrow path but it was cleverly hidden with dirt and sticks. I turned around and saw that the wolves were keeping watch. They were really sportive of him even though, they were the scariest wolves I've ever seen. I looked up to see there was light. I looked at my clock surprised to see that it was 7:00. Oh well.

We made it to a clearing in the path and there was a giant sign with camp-half blood written on it. "So," I said to Reynold "I think I figured it out. This is the place for people who are half demigods to the Norse gods."

"I get why you think that but Hecate in Norse mythology is spelled with a K generally and she is better known as the goddess of three faces."

"Oh... so what mythology is this?"

"Greek."

Then we walked inside with the wolves still trailing behind us.

Reynold dropped me off with a girl who looked about 16. "Hi!" she smiled. "I'm Adeline your helper for camp half blood."

"Okay..."

"Since you haven't been claimed you will be staying in the Hermes cabin," she showed me. "Bye!"

Then she ran off and I was left standing on the doorstep of the cabin. I slowly creaked the door open but jumped back when I saw the goo gleaming down on where I was standing. "Aww man. She avoided it. Well we'll have to set up a new one. Oh! Welcome new be!"

"Um... hi."

"I'm Lucas, son of Hermes. You are...?"

"I'm Theodosia or just Theo."

"Cool. There's a spare bed over there."

"Thanks."

I didn't have any stuff so I just plopped down on the bed. "So," another guy asked. "Who dropped you off?"

"Um some creepy guy named Reynold."

"Oh Reynold he's the worst."

"Yeah he broke into my house, told me to get dressed and then told me to get into the car with him."

"My gods, he's terrible at his job!"

I smiled. This was much better than it was at home. I walked outside but something stopped me in my tracks. I ducked down behind a wheelbarrow. It couldn't be...nope, it was diffidently Sophie. Oh come on! Can't I have one hour of paradise? I should've known better than to think that I would've been happy here. I started walking down to a nearby lake. "No way," someone whispered. "Is that nerdy."

I kept walking. Why did 4th grade girls have to be so mean."Yo, nerdy!"

I stupidly turned around along with some other people, who Sophie ignored. "What are you doing here?" I disappointingly asked.

"I'm a half blood here. What about you nerdy."

"A creepy guy with wolves took me here last night...er, early morning."

"Have you gotten claimed yet?"

"I just got here!"

"I was claimed when I first came here. About the time when I was in the grade you're supposed to be in right now."

"Well maybe I'm not as lucky as you. So who's your parent?"

"Ares, no matter what he's going to be better than your's."

"Great for you."

"Toodles!"

Then she walked past me shoving me hard on the ground. Daughter of Ares makes sense why she's so strong. Clearly seeing that she was going to the lake I headed back to the Hermes cabin, where they manged to spill goo on me this time. I went to take a shower but found that goo squirted out of those too. I finally just grabbed a towel from the bathroom, jumped in the lake and went back to bed. No mater where I went the world still traumatized me. Just my luck.
