PROLOGUE- (How it started)

The rain pours hard outside as we run. I keep Bree and Eleanor infront of me. We are the daughters of three different greek gods or goddesses. It's pretty insane. How did we find out? Well, a satyr named Grover saved us from a fury, and told us to get to Camp Halfblood. Well, now we're stuck being chased by a fucking Minotaur.

"Jennifer, hurry up!!!" Yells Bree, bringing me out of my concentration. We make our way towards the Boarder of Camp Halfblood. I'm already sopping wet from the rain. I know they are too.

"I'm coming!" I yell.

"Uh huh, damn slow ass!" Yells Ellie.

"You're just jealous cuz I'm too awesome to run fast!!!!" I yell. Complete lie. It's actually because I am trying to keep the Minotaur away from them. If someone's going to die, I hope it's me.

The trees whip past us, cutting into our arms and legs. Don't get me wrong, it hurts like hell. But it's nothing compared to getting killed by the Minotaur. I see Ellie loose her step, and she slips and falls. I instantly stop, and run over to her. Bree slows down too, and sprints over. We run over to Ellie, and pull her up.

"You okay?" Asks Bree, and Ellie lets out a cry of pain and gives her a funny look.

"I guess not," we both say, and chuckle. That's when I see her sprained ankle.

"Shit, dammit Ellie, why do you always have to sprain you ankle when we are being chased by something?!?" I cry, and throw my hands up in the air. She shrugs.

"Beats me I drink like five cups of milk a day," she says, and we laugh.

"Alright, I have an idea, okay? Bree, you and Ellie get to the boarder or where ever we are going, ok? I'll distract it, then after you guys get across, I can get across," I say, and they give me weird looks.

"What the hell?!? Why would you even consider doing that?!? And no! We're facing this beast together," says Bree.

"Aww, how sweet...... Now get going fart holes," I say, and she narrows her eyes.

"Jen, are you serious?" She asks, her jaw gaped slightly. and then I hear a tree break, and it lands right beside us.

"Wholly shit!!" Yells Ellie, and we cover our heads as branches almost hit us.

"Hell yeah, now RUNN!!!" I yell loudly, removing my hands from my head. Bree nods quickly. She puts her arm around Ellie's waist, and they jog towards camp.

There is a roar, and the Minotaur jumps out, and runs after them. Then I get a wild idea.

"YO, DIP SHIT!!!! HEY, LOOK OVER HERE!!!!! LIVE BAIT!!!!" I yell, and flail my arms. You might as well say I'm a mino swimming in a pool of great whites. It turns towards me, and let's out a huge roar. Some of the air from its mouth blows my hair back and clothes back. My eyes widen slightly. "Oh shit.... Why am I so fucking stupid!" I yell, and I drop step (volleyball style) and run. I cover my head as the Minotaur swings at me, and I feel it's hand just barely skim my back. Wait, they can't turn sharp right?! Well, if I run towards a tree.....

"Got it," I say, and look around frantically. I see a thick looking tree, so I run towards it. I know it's about to catch me, so at the last second, when I reach the tree, I kick off of it and dive throughout the air. I fly through the air, and slide across the mud. It lets out a roar, and it smashes into the tree. I hear it moan, making me laugh. I sit up, and wipe my face from the wet mud on me. I jump up and I run back to where the others are. I jump over a large log, and I see arch way, that Ellie and Bree are standing under.

"HURRY!!!!! ITS BEHIND YOU!!!!!" Yells Ellie.

"NO FUCKING SHIT!!!" I yell, and I run faster. I get closer and closer, until I'm six feet form it. Suddenly I feel a harsh gust of wind coming from my right. Suddenly I'm tackled to the side. I slide, and wince slightly. The Minotaur slams into a invisible wall, and it flies backwards, knocking over a few trees. I look, and see a large, pure black wolf standing there. It's pure black, and huge. It's 6 feet tall. "Whoa," I say, and it looks at me. I become lost in the eyes of the wolf. They are beautiful golden eyes. Not like you would see in those cheesy movies, but real, golden eyes. I sit up, and it walks towards me. I can hear Ellie and Bree yelling at me to get up and get across the boarder, but I just zone them out. It leans down as I extend my hand. It leans it's head into my hand, and I feel an instant connection. It knows me, and I know it. It's like we've known eachother forever. It's also a boy... Suddenly, there is a snort, which is coming from the Minotaur. The wolf spins around, and stands in front of me. He begins snarling, and faces the Minotaur. My eyes widen, and it runs towards the beast. It swings at him, but he dodges it, and dances just out of reach from its dangerous dangerous clutch. I watch in amazement as it fights it off. The Minotaur is beaten, but it doesn't leave yet. Suddenly I feel someone grab my arms, and I'm pulled back. I can't really stop the person, because I'm too intuned with what's happening.

"Jennifer Williams, Daughter of Artemis, you will die by the spring equinox!!!" It yells, and my eyes widen.

"It can speak?" Blurts out Ellie, and Bree pulls me up. The wolf backs away from it, and leans down, and then it lunges through the air. It sinks it's canines into the minotaurs throat, and I see green blood oozing out. The minotaurs suddenly disappears right into thin air.

"What the fuck?" Asks Bree, and the wolf lands gracefully on the ground. It turns to me, and I hear a voice in my head. "Jennifer, daughter of Artemis, Princess of the forest," and it bows down as it backs away. I tilt my head to the side, and it turns and runs off. Bree, Ellie, and I watch as it disapears into the forest.

"Huh...." Is all I can say. I turn to Ellie and Bree, and they are just staring at me.

"That was intense," Bree says.

"I know right," Ellie and I agree, and then we go silent. Bree and I help Ellie down the trail, and to an opening. We take a quick look around, and see twelve cabins surrounding a Bon fire, and a few other buildings. There is a bunch of kids, all wearing orange shirts. They have the writing "Camp Halfblood," on them, and they have a pegasus drawn on them.

"Oh my gosh, are you guys okay?" Asks a blonde girl, running over. She has shoulder length curly blonde hair, and stormy grey eyes.

I nod, "Yeah, she has a sprained ankle, we just escaped a Minotaur," I say, and she nods quickly.

"Follow me. I'll show you guys to the infirmiry," she says, and we follow after her to an infirmiry. That's pretty much how our lives at Camp Halfblood began.
