The New Demigod At Camp Half Blood

I Almost Kill a Goddess

Thalia leads us away. She gives me and Eli some space.

"What are we going to do Cely?" She whispers.

"We are going to travel to this 'camp' and then we will meet our dad." I do my best not to snarl.

I do not want to meet our dad. Everything that has happened has been because of him. But Eli needs to have something to look forward to. I swear if he doesn't show up then I will find him and throttle him, God or not.

"Do you really think we will meet our dad?" Eli looks at me hopefully.

"I promise once we get to camp I will find him." I just hope he comes to me first, I have no clue how to find a God.

Eli jumps up and down and runs to Thalia. "Did you hear that? I am going to meet my dad!"

"That is great!" She gives Eli a hug. "See the tent with a black lightning bolt? Go in there, you can crash in my tent tonight."

Eli nods and runs in there. Thalia turns to me a weird look in her eyes.

"That better not be pitty I see in your eyes." I cross my arms. "How do you find a God?"

"It's not pitty. Gods can't be found they find you."

"Great." I huff.

"What do you want me to tell Lady Artimis?"

"Just say my mom died in a monster attack." I turned before Thalia could say a word and went into the tent.

As soon as I walked in I stopped in my tracks. This place was huge! To the right was a buffet table and the left was a sitting area, complete with a flat screen and mini armory. The middle had a small desk and mini fridge.

I found Eli sleeping on a recliner and crawled in next to her. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.

I dreamt of darkness. But it wasn't silent it was full of voices, old and new.

"Run! We will find you!" Thalia shouted.

"Long time no see! I missed you when you didn't show up at school." "Shhh  it will be okay." I'm sorry." "It's not your falt."I didn't recognize the voices but all but all the first was filled with sadness.

"I'm sorry daughter." I herd a man's voice and then felt a immense pain as a bright light flashed and I heard a sound I never wanted to hear.

Eliana's pain filled scream.

"Celeste wake up!"

I jolted awake. Tears streaming down my face. "Where is Eliana!" I get up and look around.

It is just Thalia and me in the room. This sends anougher stream of tears down my face.

Thalia rushes up to me. "She is outside. Calm down. She is safe and sound."  She was completely calm, southing me.

I nodded and took a few moments to compose myself.

"Take me to her."

This nodded and lead me out of the tent. I found Eliana with Artimis who was showing her how to use the knife.

I collapsed right their and let out. Sigh of relief.

Artimis looked at me and motioned me over.

"Get your bow out."

I take off my necklace and stare at it. "Uh"

"Envision it." Artimis sothed

I picture the silver bow with sun and moon decor on the side.

It appears in my hand and the quiver across my back. "Woah." I gasp.

Artimis just smiles. "Aim."

I do as she says and nock a arrow and aim at the silver Target on the tree.

"Stand up tall, legs apart, elbows straight." Artimis calls.

I do as she says and let my arrow fly. It hits right next to the bulls eye.

"Woah." I fire on after anougher, getting closer each time.

After a good 8 minutes I can hit the target wherever I want.

"Your a natural. Now we will work on firing while moving." Artimis says. "Now I have set up targets in the woods. Hit all of them I will be waiting on the other side." She takes off ahead of me.

I stand there and gape.

"You are losing time." Thalia tosses me a hunting knife.

I put it in my belt, nock a arrow and run into the woods.

I scanned the trees. Out of the corner of my eyes I see a silver target and shoot. It hits the center, and I grin. I hit about 6 targets dead center before I was knocked to the ground.

"Long time no see. I missed you when you didn't show up at school." I look up and find one of the new girls on top of me.

"Harper!" I gasp. "What the Bologna are you-yeek" I yell as she goes to punch me.

I took out from under her and point a arrow at her. She just grins.

"Where is your sister? Shouldn't you be watching her?" She looks at me. 

I stiffle a scream as Harper changes before me. Her blue eyes become red, her sun-kissed skin becomes as white as snow, her black hair becomes fire, her teeth elongate into fangs, and she has one donkey leg and a bronze leg.

"Holy mother of milk. What are you?" I whisper.

"I am a Emposa. Servent of Hectate, and your worst night mare." She lunges at me.

I roll to the side and fire. My arrow grazes her side and she lets out a scream.

"Why are you fighting? You should run back to camp and get help. You know you are a burden and will not accomplish anything on your own. You don't want anything to do with this. Stop fighting, lay down your bow."

I find myself putting down my bow, and succumbing to her words, wilting at there truth.

"That's it. You don't want anything to do with the Greek world. Or your father. Nothing keeping you here." Harper edged closer to me and prepared to strike.

I was about to let her when ipictured Eliana. She was the reason I am here. She connects me to the Greek world, to my father. And I had a promise to keep.

I grabbed the hunting knife out of my belt and shoved it into Harper's gut. She looked at me and vaporized into golden dust.

I picked up my bow and knocked a arrow, prepared to make my way to Artimis when I herd a crunch behind me.

I spun and let a arrow fly. Then I saw Artimis. She caught the arrow and looked at me.

"I am so sorry, I thought you where a monster." I turn my bow back into a pendant and put it on.

"It's fine. That is under standable. We need to make hast. Follow me back to camp." We takes off.

When we get back to camp I gasp. It was under attack.
