Pan's Daughter

Quite A Welcome

~Emma~

They where coming for me, nearer, and nearer. So faster and faster I ran.

I ran faster and faster and there up on a hill was a camp.  It would make a good hiding place I thought. I ran up the hill and went into the camp, no time to stop and look back. I ran for the forest as fast as I could and was all the sudden stopped by a half man and half horse. Were these the things that where following me? Is this the end for me? 

I shot out my hands and the ground beneath him shook and vines wrapped around his legs, moving up towards his upper body. I knew what would happen next, the vines would soon wrap around his head and suffocate him. He would die. It had happened before, all to fresh in my memory. 

I dropped my hands to my side and the vines died and he broke away, slowly moved towards me. I put up my hands again and he looked surprised and stepped back.He was afraid of me, and he should have the right to. I almost killed him, 

I am a monster I have no control over what I do.

I collapse to my knees and start to cry. He walked towards me slowly like I might pounce on him at any second. Then he said the unexpected. "Hello that was quite a welcome wasn't it?" He says and chuckles to himself. "My name is Chiron and you might be?" 

He looks at me and I slowly rise my head "You're- you're not going to hurt me?" I ask in astonishment. I thought the creatures where coming to hurt me, that's what the voice told me anyways. "Why would I do that? You just startled me with those vines that's all." He says "By the way, how did you do that?" He asks me. "I, I don't know" I stutter. "I can just bend nature around me and make things grow" I explain to him. He seamed to believe me with just the look on his face

. "Oh my word" he said and looked me straight in the eye. "What?!" I ask "It couldn't be." He said "There's, there's just no way" He walks backwards slowly."I need to tell them" He says. "Who is them? Who are you telling?" I ask and he turns and runs away.

 "Great" I say out loud. "Just great" a girl walks by me, she has blond hair with a streak of gray although she doesn't look that old. She also has a dagger strapped to her jeans and wears a orange shirt.

 "Um excuse me?" I yell at her "Yes?" She turns and asks "Where am I and can you...uh...help me?" I ask her "Why?" She says "you're in Camp Half Blood, what do you need?" She gave me a smile.
