CHAPTER 1
-Ok hi my name is Olivia. You might think I am a weirdo for telling you all of this, my mom did not even believe me when it all happened, first you must hear my back story...
My dad disappeared before I was born, my mom says he went on a work trip to California and never came back. My mom always struggled with money but always had a smile on her face. She loved to talk about my father, they never got married he did not want to. She told me that they met on a ski trip and she smashed into him going down a hill. They started to date and then he left he just... left. Anyways, my mom sent me to New York to go to a sleep away school. Then when I got there my whole life changed.
My life started to get interesting with my best friend, Amyntas, waking me up in math class.
Amyntas- Olivia wake up
“What,” I said stunned, “Is it over?”
“Yah,” he said, “um I want to take you somewhere. Get changed and meet me in front of the fountain in 20 minutes.”
“Um, ok.”
I was wondering what he was up to, he looked tired him self after a 9 hour school day, but I had to trust him, if I didn’t who could I trust. So I walked across campus and put on a pair of jeans and my big collage t-shirt that my half-brother gave me. I took my cell phone and slid into a pair of flip flops and I ran across the campus. I met Amyntas in front of the big fountain right outside the main building. He took me up to the roof of the school. Nothing up there but roof, I mean it was flat with one little chimney sticking up the middle. It was flat with one little sun chair and it had a beautiful view of the sky, and New York city. We both sat down on the floor, the sun still shining high in the sky.
“Are you ok?” I asked, “why are we here?”
“I have to show you something, just be… just wait a while.”
One moment the sun was shining in my eyes the next there was a big shadow above me. I looked up to see a huge shadow of some thing, I thought I was going crazy. I looked over to Amyntas and he saw it too, but he did not look as amazed as I was, he looked fine.
“Wow,” I said, “what is that!”
“You will see.”
It got closer and closer and what I started to see was the weirdest thing. I saw a horse … with wings. I know you think I am going totally loopy but I am only telling the truth. The horse landed on the roof and it had two people on its back.
“Hey Olivia, remember us,” says one of them
“Well you should because we grew up with you.” Says the other.
“How could I forget, Travis, Conner,” I said.
“So,” Travis said, “have not seen you in a while.”
“Not since we had to “move away” 6 years ago.”
Travis and Connor where my close friends when I was younger. Their mom went to work with my mom and their mom was always at my house witch meant they where always their too. Travis was 5 years older than me and Connor was 4. They where like big brothers to me. They where always very nice and very funny, but we where living in Vermont then and one day their mom got a better job here in New York.
Connor looked like he was about to cry.
“Dude,” Travis said, “are you ok.”
“Oh, yah, sorry.”
“So,” I said, “what is this.”
“Oh, yah this is a pegusi ,” Amyntas said.
“But there is not such thing.”
“Then,” Travis said, “What are we doing on one...”
“Well this is all a dream,” I said, “first I am out of math class, then I see a beautiful view of New York, then I see the two people I have been wishing to see ever since I was 6 years old on a magic flying horse… and when I pinch my self, you will dissapear.”
So I pinched myself and nothing happened. Connor wistled and another horse came. It was a pale pink with a white main and white hoves.
“We have to go now,” Amyntas said, “we have to bring you somewhere safe... some where called Camp Half-Blood.”
Travis and Conner nodded at the same time as if they had done this many times before.
Amyntas got on the horse and pulled me on too. I was not believing what I was doing this but I was so blinded by wanting to talk to Travis and Connor again. Then we went off into the night sky and the city melted away.
“Why am I going to camp in the middle of the year?” I asked.
“Well,” Amyntas said, “
I was flying through the air.
They know who my father is or was. What could this mean... am I going to meet him... what will he think of me... what will I think of him. These where the questions that where going threw my mind.
“Amyntas,” I asked, “where are we going?”
“We are taking you to a pace called Camp Half-Blood.” He said, “Do you remember when that shake shot out of your locker or the time we had a bat come in, in the middle of English class, this place will protect you from all of that. Would never take you somewhere I thought was not safe...No, don’t even answer that question the place is safe and best of all you will find out who your father is.
“Yah,” Travis cut in, “it is totaly safe...except for the woods filled with monsters...”
“Oh,” Conner said, “and don’t forget the lava rock wall!”
“What!”
“You don’t have to do those things.” Amyntas said, “We could talk more about this when we get there.”
We where over woods and hills and water, It looked beautiful. We started to come in for a landing and then I saw the most beautiful place in the world. It had woods all around it but then there was water on one side of it. People where swimming in the water even though it was wintertime. In the center of the place there was a big blue house and next to it was a tree much taller than the others. On the other side of the valley there were 2 ovals of what seemed like cabins.
Conner-You see that... that’s where I live. Lived there for 5 years.
“Wow,” I said, “you like own that place!?”
“Yah,” he said, “I geuss you could say that.”
“No,” Amyntas cut in, “he does not own that the gods own that.”
“Wait, gods, there is no such thing as gods.”
“That’s what they all say at first.” Travis said as if he was offended.
“What do you mean which gods?”
“We can’t tell you just yet. It’s hard to explain. Just wait a little longer.”
We landed on a big net and Amyntas took me to the huge blue house. It was 4 stories tall with a wrapped around it. The inside of it was a big fireplace, and right over it was a big plaque with a head of a lepord but it was alive… don’t question me this is all I saw. Then their was a small living area, a small office with a weal chair in the corner.
“What is this place?” I asked.
“We call it the Big House.”
“I get it because… its…so…big…yah.”
