This is Who I Am

Chapter Twenty-Five

It's the middle of the night and I can not sleep. I have been at camp for a few days now, nothing has really happened; but I have a feeling that everything is about to change.
As I'm staring looking at the silver roof above me and listening to the rain I hear a disturbing sound. A goat belt and a human scream. I jump out of the bed, activate my weapons and run to the source of the shouting. The border. I seen Anna run out of her cabin.

"Go get Chiron! I'll check the border! GO!" She nodded and took off to the Big House. I continued to Thalia's tree. I froze. A Minotaur, he was hollering in pain, I seen a dark haired boy trying to swing a sword at him. I ran into action.

"Duck! Run into camp! MOVE!" He didn't move. Boys I swear. I shot arrows, threw my daggers and swung my sword. The cow dude was not interested in me, it wouldn't die. It finally got mad at me and swatted at me and knocked me over; and before I could get back up it charged at the new boy. The boy jumped out of the way, causing the Minotaur to get stuck in the tree. With a roar it broke away, leaving its horn in the tree. The boy notices it and took it, the monster ran at him like a bull, only this time he seemed to be ready. The dark haired boy shoved the horn inside the Minotaur, killing it. With a roar and a shower of dust it went away. The boy staggered and almost fell, I ran to him and helped him stand. He looked weak and tired. He looked at me.

"Get Grover." He passed out. Wait. Grover. I dropped the boy, he's already knocked out, frantically looking for Grover. I seen him and drug him next to the boy. I heard someone come up, glancing I seen it was Chiron and Anna.

"How is he?" Chiron asked.

"Alive. So is Grover."  Anna cut in.

"Wait? Grover? That means..."

"Yes. He's here." Chiron said.

"But he wasn't suppose to come for another four days!"

"Well he's here now, let's hope it's for the best."

"Well let's hope he's as great as the prophet says. The great Percy Jackson has arrived to camp."

"Now Ivy, behave. Come. We need to get them inside. I want one of you to watch him around the clock. Understand." Anna and I mumbled a yes. We put Grover and Percy on Chiron's back and took them to the infirmary. I went and got Will, a son of Apollo, and told him what had happened. He took off, I went to my cabin since Anna said she would watch him tonight. I walked down to the lake, I wasn't tired, I wanted to talk to Leo. I still haven't heard form him. I have no idea if he is alive or not.  He hasn't  been answering the Iris messages I have been sending. I don't think he's dead, at lest I hope not.

"Where are you Leo? I miss you." I looked up at the night sky. I suddenly felt a presence beside me. I looked over, mom.
"What are you doing here? I thought you weren't suppose to meet you kids."

"Hush child. I have five minutes to bestow you with your blessings." I tried to open my mouth but I couldn't. Dang. I hope this doesn't last long. "When you went on your special quest I had said that you will receive blessings from a few of the gods and goddesses. Aphrodite gives you the ability to charm speak. Poseidon gives you the ability to breath under water. Apollo gives you the ability to use medicine. Zeus gives you the ability to control the winds. And finally I give you the ability to use the moonlight. That is all, I have to go now child." I opened my mouth. Finally. "This will be a little uncomfortable." Wait. What?

It hit me like a truck, an uncomfortable sensation filled my body. As quickly as it came it was gone. Let's not do that again. But I can breath under water! And I can fly! This is great! I suddenly felt tired. I wobbled a bit. Woah. I need to go to bed. I went to my cabin and went into a not so peaceful sleep.
