This is Who I Am

Chapter Fourteen

With a jolt in my feet hit the ground, the air was chilly and very faintly smelled of strawberries. I opened my eyes and seen the marvelous sight of camp. A smile made its way to my face, but it was quickly wiped away with the sound of a roaring monster, followed by the screams of a child. Instantly I had my sword out and my bows on my back. I ran as fast as I could to were the screaming was coming from, ignoring the call of my name by Sev. I ran until I came across a girl that was laid out on the ground, knocked out cold. A Harpy flew above the girl, I went into autopilot mode; I don't know how but I was soon covered in gold dust and carrying the unconscious girl in my arms
back to the camp entrance. When I got to the border I jogged past Sev and stared to holler for some medics to meet me at the big house. I barged into the building and went directly to the infirmary, I passed by a Chiron gave him a look, (you know the one that you give to someone you don't have time to talk but we will one... no okay then). I placed the girl down on the nearest bed and took a good look at her. She looks to be around 9 or 10 she's extremely thin and looks pretty beaten up. She has strawberry blond hair and it stops at the base of her back. She has cuts and bruises all over her exposed body, how much of her body is like that? Overall she's a really pretty girl, but who is her godly parent? Nobody from the Apollo cabin has shown up yet so I began to clean and dress the cuts, just as I finished a knock at the door sounded. Turning I seen Sev, I gave him a small simile and got up, looked back at the girl and closed the door.

"What's up?" I said nervously. I know exactly 'what's up', I ran to help the mystery girl without him by my side. But really what was he gonna to do?

"Ivy, I have to go back to school now. Dumbledore and I have some work to do, but if anything happens send for me immediately. Alright? Just so you know I care for my deeply. I'll be back Christmas, behave, don't go off making trouble now." He pulled me into a hug, and chuckles. He pulled away and gave me a small smile, waved goodbye and disappeared with a pop. With a sigh I went back into the room only to find the bed that the girl was in empty. Panicking I looked around the room but instantly I calmed down when I saw the small girl in the corner hugging herself, tears streaming down her face. Quietly I walked to her, I stepped on a creaking board and her head snapped to me, she started to cry harder. I put my hands up, signaling that I am not going to harm her.

"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you okay? I'm here to help. Everything is going to be okay now. I'm going to move closer okay?" I whispered to her. She didn't react so I took a small step towards her, she flinched but didn't go anywhere, so I took another small step and then another; soon I was beside her.

"My name is Ivy, Ivy Potter. I'm the one who saved you from the monster, I brought you back to this safe haven for people like us. Here, you will be safe. But for now let's get you some nectar and if you don't mind, I would like to know your name?" She looked at me, hurt in her eyes but under all of it she looked relieved. Like everything she was dealing with suddenly got lighter. I stood up and offered my bad down to her, she flinched back slightly but grabbed it and allowed  me to hoist her up to her feet and lead her to the cot.  Once she was situated I went to the medical cabinet, grabbed a vial and made my way back to her.

"Scarlet." I looked at the girl. She hung her head low, causing her hair to cover her face. My face must have looked confused because she explained.
"M-my name, it's Scarlet. Scarlet Callaway." I nodded and directed her to drink the nectar, and advising Scarlet to get some rest after showing her where to go when she wakes up. I closed the door behind me and went straight to Chiron.

I knocked at Chiron's office door, not waiting on an invitation I walked in. "Chiron, I'm not sure how much you know about why I'm home early or not, but I'm not worried about that at this very second. I found a girl, Scarlet Callaway, being attacked by a harpy. She's currently resting, but when she wakes up she's going to need to be explained everything. Do you want me to talk to her or show her the video?" He find this a bit humorous, it seemed like.

"Child." He chuckles, but suddenly become s grim. "I do, in fact, know why you are home so early. We will talk about it later. As for the girl, I will introduce her tonight, as well as introduced her to the rest of camp. It she seems to trust you, so you will give her the talks, and the tour. But for now you will go see your friends, I will send for you when Ms. Callaway wakes." I nodded and ran out to go find my two favorite people.

~Time Skip~
I missed this. I really did. I missed having my sword out, being able to practice with out the fear of someone watching me. Being able to see Anna and Blondie. I really missed camp. I'm currently standing at the hill along side Scarlet, Anna, Grover, and Blondie waiting for the other campers to get here so we can load up onto the vans so we can go to the Empire State Building. I gaze upward, amazed at how y'all the building is. Anna got excited and started to talk about the structural aspects of both the building and Olympus; saying how she wants to be able to create a piece that will be in the center of the gods. Chiron walked us in and told the elevator man he needed to go to the 600th floor. Nodding the elevator man opened the elevator and told Chiron to press the button once everyone got in. In three minutes we were standing at the entrance to Olympus.

AN: I am so incredibly sorry for taking so long! I have had a lot of crap going on in my life. But please tell me how you reacted to this chapter and tell me if I have made any mistakes. As always I love you lots!
