Celia Islé: Daughter of Zeus

Going to Camp

2 days later.............

I knew something was wrong before I knew what it was exactly.  I can't explain how or why, but I could sense something was coming for me. There was a school dance tonight, so Maxon would be here. Maybe together we could figure out exactly what was going on. And maybe, just maybe, this would be my chance to get to that camp, to leave this place.

A few hours later.....

It was an hour before the dance, I was standing in my room staring in the mirror. I was wearing a dress, though if something was coming tonight I was going to wish I had something else on. It was too late now. I did have the dagger I had found in the place where I woke up. Hopefully it would be enough.....

After a few minutes I left my room, for what was the last time for for a few months. I saw Maxon as soon as I exited the dorm, I walked over. "Hey." I said and smiled. "Hey. Have you been feeling it too!" He asks. I nodded. We both stood there for a moment, then we walked into the dance. I'm not going to go into details since they aren't important. Nothing of much interest happened until it was almost over. All the popular kids had left to do something, and most everyone else had just left.

I was sitting outside when I heard a growl behind me. Suddenly I couldn't see anything, and a claw slashed across my back. I crumpled to my knees and I heard Maxon yell behind me. My hands fumbled for the dagger. I slashed blindly, I couldn't see anything. Whether it was from darkness or blindness I had no idea. Something tried to slash at me again but I rolled away, stabbing the dagger into something. Pain flashed in my eyes but I ignored it. "MAXON!" I yelled. I heard a low moan but I couldn't tell where from.

Suddenly, with a howl, whatever creature was there disappeared. I could feel its presence was gone but there was someone else there. "Who-what is it?" I said. "You don't know but me, but I'm here to help. Please trust me. I can take you to camp." The voice says. I stand up slowly. "Your from camp?" I ask. "Yes. Now you and your brother need to come quickly. That was only the beginning of what will come to attack you." He says. I nod slowly. "I'm coming." I say. I hear Maxon walk up behind me and touch my shoulder lightly. "I'm coming too." He says. A car comes and we get in, and the car begins to drive. To camp I'm guessing. I explained to Maxon what had happened. "I think it's only temporary."I say. At least I hope so, I thinks to myself. I don't want to be blind.

Maybe a half hour later, the car came to a stop. I got it, Maxon's hand on my shoulder. We walked up the hill, still in our dance clothes, ripped and blood stained from the attack. We were taken to the infirmary, I sat down on one of the cots and someone came in, completely explaining everything.

"As I believe you Already know, you two are demigods. And children of Zeus no less. You were just attached by a monster, which one we do not know....." He said. (That's Chiron talking btw)

He talked for a few more minutes turn left. I sat there in silence. Neither Maxon nor I said a word. Someone, I'm guessing a medic came in. They gave me something called ambrosia, and after a few minutes I blinked and I could see again. I was so happy.

Since it was past midnight we had to stay in the infirmary. I fell asleep, curled up on a cot. Still in my dress, still bruised, but not bleeding. But I was finally somewhere where I belonged, where I was safe. And that, was a very good thing, a good thing indeed.
