Daughter of a Myth

Chapter 23

 I woke up to my clock beeping. I turned around and hit the snooze button but it didn't turn off. Deciding I should get up, I opened my eyes. All I could see was pitch black. My heart started to beat faster and faster.

I stood up and felt around me for something. I couldn't feel anything or hear anything. I got down on my hands and knees as I slowly patted the ground around me. All of a sudden my hands came across something warm and wet. I lifted my hands to my face trying to see what I had touched and if it was what I thought it was.

Before my hand could make it to my face everything turned a bright white. When everything faded down so I could see I wished I couldn't. There surrounding me was all the bodies of my friends. My hands soaked in their blood. It dripped down like water on a leaf. It dipped off leaving a puddle of blood underneath of me.

One body still breathing called out to me. the face completely unrecognizable. It started to talk. Telling me that it was my fault. That I could've stopped it. Suddenly everybody sat up. They all had blood covering their faces. The blood making them unrecognizable. The only faces that I could make out were Percy, Annabeth, and Kat. "Remember us. Don't forget us" they all said at once.

When they finished all they bodies fell back onto the ground. Then blackness consumed everything. The ground under me gave way as well making me fall in. Then laughing started. There was a deep voice of laughter. All I could feel was the sensation of falling. Then I shot up.

I was back in my bedroom. There was still the beeping of my alarm clock. I reached over to the nightstand and hit the off button turning it off.

I stayed in bed for a few more moments before I threw the blanket off and moved my legs to the edge of the bed. The floor was cold and the air was just as much so. Regardless of that I got out and headed into the bathroom. I knew that it wasn't safe and that soon a monster would come. I didn't want to place Mary in danger.

I pulled off my sweat-drenched clothes and then changed into a red tank top and black yoga pants. To top everything off I grabbed my black fingerless gloves and slipped them on.

Looking in the mirror I saw a completly differnt person. They were almost unreconisable. My hair was now a messy black color, with silver eyes with electric blue rings around the outside. My skin was way paler now from having so many injuries.

Next step was packing. I grabbed a bag and begun putting clothes, books, and anything else I needed in there. Once I had one bag packed I headed downstairs.

Mary wasn't up yet so I grabbed my boots and put them on then made sure that my daggers were hidden in them. I went into the kitchen and found Mary sitting their eating cereal. She saw me enter and immediately started to smile.

"Hey, sweetie. How did you sleep?"

"Okay."

"So I was thinking that we could go shopping and then maybe go and see a movie."

"As nice as that is I have to go back."

"Oh," she said as her smile fell

"I'm sorry but it's not safe for me to stay here. I'm putting you in danger."

"I know, I know I just wish you could stay."

"Me too."

"Well, we should get you on your way then."

She helped me make sure I had everything and then gave me one last hug.

"Please be safe,"

"I will."

"Goodbye"

"Bye"

With that, I shut the door and headed off. I had gotten pretty far without seeing any monster but I didn't want to jinx it. As of the minute, I was climbing aboard a bus. It didn't go too far but it was easier to get places.

I got off at a park at noon. There were several kids playing there but a lot of them were chasing a dog. It wasn't just any dog though it was a hellhound. I looked down at Mist who had shown up after I got off of the bus. She was looking straight at the hellhound with her teeth showing.

A low growl could be heard from deep in her thought. I nudged her in the side. When she looked up at me we gave each other a slight nod before I stood up and went over to the kids. I could tell I would have to come up with something they would believe. What do kids like? What would make them leave the 'dog' alone? Suddenly it struck me.

"Hey kids," I said as they all stopped and looked at me. "I saw an ice cream truck but behind the park."

"Really?" a little girl asked

"Ya, why don't you go ask your parents if you can get some."

"Thanks." a boy said before they all ran off laughing and pushing each other.

Not only had the kids stopped to see what I wanted but the hellhound had as well. I was now in its full form. It's big ruby eyes burning holes into my head. I bent down grabbing the two daggers from my boots. When my attention was back on the hellhound it snarled before charging.

~Time skip~

I was standing on top of the hill looking down at the camp. It was 4:27 pm. Everyone was already in their class doing what they needed to. Since everybody was in their classes there was nobody out meaning I wouldn't get weird looks on why I was covered in cuts, blood, and bruises.

I went to the border and stepped in only to have a searing pain all through my body. I didn't know where it was coming from but I couldn't stop it. I could hear someone screaming and then the yelling of people. My throat began hurting. I realized that I was the one who was screaming.

I felt someone pick me up and start running off somewhere that I could only guess was the injury. The constant bumps cause more pain in my body. It felt like someone was stabbing needles into every inch of my body and then pouring boiling hot water over me.

There were no more bumps as the person ran. I could feel something soft under me so I would assume I was in a bed. The other thing was that I could hear a muttering of people talking but I couldn't make out anything they were saying.

Soon my body began to shut off. I could move, or try to talk it was like everything was cut off from my brain. Then the blackness came. I was overcome in blackness before everything was gone and I was alone.
