WHOA. ARGHH, Ash with no trousers on. NOT something I wanted to see. I glanced down and gasped. Where his feet should be there were cloven hooves and his legs were covered in hair, I mean seriously covered, not just like, I havent waxed in a while hair. I almost fainted but then got a hold on myself. Wiping the tears from my eyes I walked towars him. 'Ash, please explain...' I said faintly.

'I did, Lily. I'm a satyr, you know, half-goat, half-man, from Greek mythology.' He smiled hopefully as I nodded dumbly. I then glanced around, panicing slightly. 'Can any one else see, you know...' I tailed off as Ash shook his head. 'Nope. The mist stops mortals seeing anything out of the ordinary. To them I'm just a teenager with really baggy trousers.' He proved his point as an old lady tottered past giving him a disapproving glare. I stiffled a slghtly hysterical giggle as he pulled his trousers back on, doing up his converse which i noted were stuffed with polystyrene to stop them falling off his hooves.

We started to make our way back to the orphanage as he explained more. 'So what do we do now?' I asked.

'Well, there's a place for kids like us. Its called camp half-blood, not too far from here. When we get back to the orphanage we can pack our bags and get going.' This may have sounded a bit reckless, but my heart lept with the thought of leaving that horrid place.

'So what were you doing here then?', I asked curiously

'Looking after you.' He replied simply. NO WAY!!! All those times I've had to stand up for him and stop him getting bullied because of his weird phobias, when he could have just taken off his shoes and kicked the bullies to high heaven. And I thought he was a bad liar...

I slipped out of my thoughts as we arrived at the orphanage. I practically skipped inside and was about to run up the stairs to my room when Jasper Millian stood infront of me, causing me to bounce off his huge chest onto my butt. He laughed cruelly and advanced on me slowly. Jasper was the orphanage bully and the only guy that worried me a bit, seeing as he was twice my size. Luckily for me he also had about a third of my intelligence. I stood up, shocking him with my resistance, most kids let him walk all over them. 'Leave me alone, you neanderthol. Your half-witted attempts at intimidation are insultsing to my intelligence.' I laughed and ran past him up to my room, knowing Ash and I would be long gone before my words penetrated his single cell of a brain. In my room I shoved my clothes into a ruck sack along with the few posessions I had, including a photo of Ash and I, as we lounged on a beach during a school trip. We were laughing our heads off and licking icecreams. It had been the best moment of my life but i think it was about to be topped.

I ran back downstairs, cackling as I saw Jasper still trying to process my words. I grasped Ash's wrist, who was also holding a backpack, and ran to the door. 'So long Suckers!' I yelled as I ran to freedom.
