The New Camper (a Percy Jackson fanfiction)

Espousal

"What the hell?!"

"What is that?"

"Archers! Arrows knocked and aimed!"

The growling was coming from the waters edge.

The whole camp had weapons in grasp.

The bushes started rustling, then out of nowhere, two of the weirdest creatures I had ever seen came running out.

They were women with ghostly white skin, red eyes, fangs, flaming hair, and mismatched legs. One was a donkey leg and the other was a bronze leg.

"Empousai!" I heard Chiron yell. And go for his bow and arrow. He shot at the creatures, but they just hissed and lunged.

Ethan stood up, picked me up, and ran back toward the cabin.

"Ethan what are you doing!?" I yelled. I tried to fight my way out of his arms, but he just held me tighter.

Ethan ran inside the cabin and sat me down on one of the bunks. He grabbed his sword and ran toward the door.

"Stay here!" He ordered. He took a look at his sword he always had hung at the scabbard at his side, then ran outside.

"Ethan! Are you crazy! Those things will kill you!" I yelled and slung off my flannel shirt I had over my camp half blood t-shirt. (He must ge suicidal or somethIng.) I thought to myself as I slid off my sandals and laced up my combat boots.

I took my hair out of the braid and let it hang loosely around my shoulders.

I saw that Ethan had left something on his bunk.

His leather jacket.

I don't know why I took it with me, maybe it was just something at made me feel strong or something. Either that or I was cold.

I grabbed it and put it on as I grabbed my dagger and clipped the sheath to my belt.

I ran out to fight.
