I wake up on a hospital bed. Immediately I get up and i realize my legs are unmovable so I just sit there looking around. I look to my left and there is a wood door, to go with this wood room. I look to the right and see 3 beds 2 unoccupied and one with someone on their side facing the wall in it. I can't see their face... But their hair, it, it's Alex. "Alex!" I say tears streaming down my face with happiness. Alex grunts and turns to look at me still asleep. "Alex Oh gods wake up!!! Alex we aren't at home u need to get up! ALEX!!!" I say pleading. "IM UP!" He yells waking with a start. "Willy!" He says grinning! "Alex! Where are we?!" I determined quickly, it seemed to be in some sort of hospital but I meant really WHERE was this hospital... "I can answer that!" In comes in a half man half horse.. This time Alex faints. "Alex!" I yell using all my strength to get out of bed. Immediately when my feel touch the ground I feel pain in my ankles and knees. I feel my knees unbuckle and I fall to the floor. "Ow.." I respond to the pain. "Ow!" I say again as the fact sinks in how I don't seem to be getting up. The man bends down, Handing me some food to eat, which i second guess, then plop in my mouth and feel instantly a bit better. "My dear" says the horse man. "What is it with you and falling?" He says joking as he comes to help me up. "My name is Chiron, Camp director of CHB" he states standing taller.

"CHB?" I say tilting my head. "Yes, camp half blood! A place where children of the gods and humans go, they are half human half gods, meaning they are Demi-gods. This is the place u will learn all about Greek gods and how to protect yourself. We don't have much time, I am your teacher, Chiron I will teach you and... This boy." He says "boy" in a heartless way. Alex had never been good at first impressions. And apparently "Chiron" didn't seem to like him. "Wait" I say aloud stopping myself from thinking for a moment "I'm dreaming!" I say as if I had figured everything out! "Thats the answer! This isn't real! It's only a dream! I'm gonna wake up now! Goodbye!" Knowing what to do I bring my arm up and pinch myself. It didn't work. I try again a bit harder. All I felt was pain. "No" I plead "no no no no no!" I continue. "This isn't real! It can't be!" "But it is." Chiron states answering me. "Alex!" I say suddenly remembering and take 3'steps to wake him up. Trying my best not to fall. "No worries about him he will be moved to the Hermes cabin in no time! You on the other hand.." He offers me his hand and leads me outside. At least 20 people from 12-18 are there all lined with combat gear on. "Behold..." Chiron says stepping a few steps away from me. "The child of the goddess of harvest and wheat!" He bellows the looks down, bowing, followed by everyone in the camp. I look up to see something glowing over my head,a symbol of wheat. "The daughter of Demeter".

"WILLOW!" Is the first thing I hear when I wake up. Then quickly i felt a pillow smashing into my head. I knew who was yelling at me and throwing pillows, It was Katie Gardner. My half sister. "Ugh, Katie don't make me wrap you with vines I say slowly getting out of bed. 'Hahaha nice one princess, time to get a move on, tree brain.' My sister ended the conversation quickly and went to go take a shower. As for that nickname, well everybody calls me that. Ever since I was 11 when I had banged into a tree then knocked myself out, and when Connor and Travis Stoll found me they nicknamed me treebrain. And when my 4 best friends (Alex, Maple, Raven and Zander) found out. Well that was all they called me. We all kinda had nicknames for each other; Alex was Book Brain (he got claimed as a child of Athena), Maple was Miss Pick Pocket (child of Hermes), Raven was Bird Girl (since she was unclaimed we just named her that cause her name was Raven) and finally Zander was death breath (a child of hades). We all were weird in are own little way. That's how we work. "Willy hurry up already!!" Katie demands, snapping me out of my train if thought then throwing a wad of clothes at me. As I go to the washroom I pass about 2 dozen campers, about 3/4 that are girls with flowers in their hair or putting gardening gloves on. Suddenly everyone's head turns including mine to a short knock at the door and all the girls in the cabin run to the door knowing who it was. As the girls open the door as a pack while coming their hair a smile forms my face from across the room. There was alex, in the doorway with a grin.
