Demigod Stories: Saim's Situation

Chapter III: It's Camp or Bust

She dragged me outside of her house.

From the outside, her house.. NO... it was a palace. It was really huge, and when I say really huge, I really mean, REALLY huge.

There was a beautiful garden in front of their palace. I looked around and saw flowers of different kinds, and huge trees that have this red fruit that I haven't seen before. I looked up and I saw three winged creatures circling and following me around. I got the feeling they weren't so friendly.

A bead of sweat came trickling down my nose. I gasped.

"Don't be such a wuss"

Oh right, I forgot, she was still dragging me by the shirt like somekind of animal on chains. Did she just read my mind? or was it just my imagination. The beauty and scent of the garden made me drowsy so I was having hallucinations.

"You live here", I replied with a little anger on my voice, hey when your shirt is about to get ripped off, how can you not become angry. "You say stuff like it is easy! You know what? You're like my mom"

I groaned and sighed. I was acting like a child in front of a pretty girl. I realized, and I blushed.

I was about to say sorry but when I opened my mouth, we stopped.

She loosened her grip on my shirt and let me breathe for a while. I watched her face and she was turning her head as if she was waiting for that log to come back and eat me. And then I realized, what if she is trying to get me killed?

"Why are we stopping here?", I said gripping my shirt and flattening it out. I checked myself out and I noticed that my heavily bandaged foot wasn't hurting anymore. hmm, that was quicker than I thought.

"Shut up you brat", she exclaimed with full force, the ground shook.

"Now that's just mean", I said straightening myself out and exhaling, " What are you searching for?"

I looked around and just saw emptiness around me. It was completely dark.

She grabbed my shirt again which made me mad

"What is your problem?!", I shouted

She smiled and whispered close to my ear. "Hold on"

I became confused, "Hold on? to whaaaaaaa-"

Just then, I was enveloped by shadows.

Tip: Shadows are scary

As of now, it was the most disturbing experience ever. There's nothing that can describe it but it's dark, cold, and I could see my life in front of me. It gave me the chills, and made my spine shiver.

Inside the vortex I kept screaming my heart out, but that didn't work the way I planned, nobody could hear me from where I was, and if I wasn't with a girl, I'd pee my pants at the moment.

I could feel I was soaring through the air, but much scarier.

And then I slammed into the ground face, and chest first.

I somehow described the feeling as falling from a bed, but ten times more impact and there you have it. That's how painful it was. I could me my body giving up on me but then someone kicked my aching side

"Come on now, get up"

It was her, the mysterious girl who had some issues with the world and..oh.. me

I forced myself up, dusting myself along the way. And then, I just noticed I was in a different place.

It was bright, and noisy.It was definitely full of people, a sound that was like a hammer pounding some metal and metal clashing with each other. In front of me was a huge house. It was like the White House and built like the white house.

I scratched my head and turned to her.

"Where is this place?"

She smirked and walked towards the door of the white house.

"Welcome to Camp Half Blood" she said, "Now come on, I have to introduce to you to someone"
