Hey again guys! This one-shot was an idea from @TheLibrarySoul, where the reader is deaf. The original idea was the reader was mute, but I have no experience writing mute characters, and don't want to offend anybody. For those who don't know, being mute is where someone can hear, but doesn't talk. I've also had to change a few things about the CHB border; I've made it so is a monster touches it, the monster evaporates. It just fits better with the story.

Hope you guys enjoy!

ALSO: We hit 3k reads! I truly cannot express how thankful I am to you guys for reading my story. Mwah mwah mwah!

Y/N POV:

Well, here you are. Running for your life from a teeny tiny snake. You don't know what type of snake it is, don't know where it came from, but you just witnessed it kill an animal by just wrapping it's tail around the animal's body. You had gasped, like any sane person would, and the snake had heard you. It had whipped it's head toward you, staring you down menacingly. It was probably mad you distracted it from it's lunch, or dinner, or whatever meal was appropriate  for this time. 

You booked it in the other direction, crashing through bushes and whizzing past trees. Thorns scratched holes in your shirt and jeans, only assisting the snake in ways to kill you. In case you weren't following, the snake's scales are poisonous. One touch and you're out in a minute, and dead in the next two. If only you hadn't tripped.

As you raced through the forest, you saw a large pine tree stand proudly on top of a hill. For some reason, you knew you'd be safe once you passed the tree. You were almost there, just a few metres away, but a tree root was sticking up from the ground. In your panic, you hadn't noticed it until is was too late. You tripped over the tree root, crashing roughly to the floor. The snake had caught up to you now, but it's small 30cm (12 inches) body was moving so fast, it couldn't stop quick enough. It flew past you, grazing the skin on your upper thigh through a hole in your jeans. It hurtled into an invisible force-field looking thing, evaporating to golden dust. 

The poisonous scales made a fire-like pain shoot up through your entire body. You felt woozy, and could only just barely stand. You hobbled past the pine tree, where the snake had evaporated. You felt a sense of protection and belonging wash over your fragile body. You felt the thumps of feet on earth when people rushed towards you as you collapsed. You felt hands grab your shoulders, and direct your head to look at them.

It was a girl, probably about 16, with tanned skin, hazel eyes, and dark hair in a braid with a feather stabbed through it. Her top was orange, and read 'Camp Half Blood'. She also had on light blue jean shorts, and dirty red converse. 

Can you hear me? You assumed she said it aloud, but you were deaf after all. You knew how to lip read some words and phrases, and since you got this one a lot, you understood what she meant. You shook your head, but the girl just took it as shock, not a disability. She turned her head to look at another girl with blonde curls, telling her something, and pointing towards a large archway with her head. The other girl nodded, and ran to help you stand up. Suspended between the girls' arms, they dragged you through the arch and into a summer-camp looking place. They directed themselves towards a hut, labelled the infirmary.

As you were carried through the doorway, a blonde boy looked up. His eyes widened at your expression. He then said something to the girls, and they responded. You could feel their heads nodding. To what question, you didn't know. The boy said something else, and the girls lifted you onto a bed. The contact with your poisoned skin made it burn. You tried to lift your arms to tell them, but you were too tired to do so. You settled with making erratic mouth movements to get their attention. They all looked at you, and tilted their heads in a questioning way.
