Crimson Corridoor

I was so confused, it was to the fact that I didn't even want to open my eyes. I had just saw a mythical creature that I thought wasn't real, left the camp, blew up buildings, and rode a man-horse. Worste of all I would never see Jarod again.

When I woke up I was in a fancy room. I must have passed out or something because, I was on a bed and I obviously woke up. I couldn't help thinking about what the Mrs.Sha- I mean the chimera. She said I was special. What is special about me... I have black hair and green eyes, but that's not very special. Hmmm... My mom is dead...I don't know where my father is right now. I live with him some of the time but, usually with my Aunt Mary. I need to find that horse-guy. He seemed harmless, he saved me, so I have to find him. I walked outside the room to a hallway lined with doors. It was a golden hallway with a red carpet. All of the doors were golden, including the one I just walked out of. The door I walked out of was the last door, it also had my name on it. Why would they hav my name on a door, how do they even know my name? I started running down the hall and turned into a large lobby type room. There were couches and chairs and a lot of armour lined the walls. All of the people in here were staring at me and murmuring. I walked up to a girl and asked her where the horse-man was.

'' You mean Dionysus?'' The girl said.

'' I guess.''

'' He is in the eating room.'' She said.

''Ok thanks.'' I said.

What the heck is an ''eating room'' ? Last I knew they were called cafeterias or canteens. I followed the sign that said eating room, apparently they get a lot of new people if they have to put signs everywhere. When I walked into the ''eating room'' I saw Dionysus. From the waist up he was a man, from the waist down he was a tan horse.

''Ah, Molly, youv'e woke from your slumber.'' Dionysus said.

I stood there as still as a statue. No comment, I thought.

''Come eat Molly, do not be afraid. We are just here to protect you.'' Dionysus said.

'' W-what is it?'' I said.

'' Chicken breast and beans, with a side of diet coke.

''Where am I?'' I asked

'' You are at Crimson Corridoor. A safe place for kids like you, I will let you eat alone, I don't want to make you uncomfortatable.''

I was so confused, kids like me? What is going on?
