Chapter Three
Don’t you just love new people that you may have the chance to kill if you don’t like them in the long run? Yeah, I know, I’m a sick little daughter of Aphrodite so that all camp semi-meeting was a surprise when I found out my two favorite goddess’s were fighting. I was guessing it was time to work a little charm.
“Hey Chiron, can I talk to the little blonde boy?” I asked as I walked up to him.
“Okay, but he’s a little aggressive,” Chiron led me to where he was sitting, he was talking to that girl who always tends to the fire during the day. “Mike, this is Sienna, she just needs to talk to you, okay?”
“Fine, but she better make it quick,” He said.
“So. Mike, how did you get here?” I asked.
“Pegasus.” He replied simply.
“You found a Pegasus?” This kid was probably quick with stories and made it up.
“No. I own one, my mom gave it to me.” He was good.
“Your mom has a Pegasus? You’re a weird little dude, you know that right?” I said. So many questions, so little time.
“Yes, my mom. Anatasia, she caught my dad, Eros, eye by owning a little candy shop in Queens, naturally he shot her with a love arrow and she saw him fell in love with him and now I’m here. My mom had received a Pegasus from Eros for her birthday, my mom died last year, and in her will, since the Pegasus looked like a normal horse, I was given Valentine here.” A blackish red Pegasus walk up behind Mike, I’m not sure what was wrong, but something wasn’t in place.
I’m not sure how I was able to tell but Mike and Valentine weren’t like, alive, they just gave off that creepy feeling of an apparition being in front of me, but they seemed so solid. I grabbed my head band and it turned into a spear. Mike didn’t notice because he was petting Valentine, so I got up and poked him with the tip of my spear.
“OW! What the hell?” He screamed
“You don’t seem human,” I said.
“That’s because I’m not, I’m a ghost that’s in a solid form. I am Michos, Hades lets me come and go to the underworld as I please.”
“That’s wonderful… Well I’ve got to get archery, buh-bye.” I said as I got up and rushed away. That kid was creepy. Oh well, it didn’t matter, I was probably never going to have to see him again. I headed to the archery field, I was thinking about how if I got a quest I could find out how to make my mom and Artemis to stop fighting. But Chiron would never give me a quest, he said “I wasn’t ready,” that I was, “To young to be doing dangerous stuff,” I was sixteen! I wanted to do something fun for once.
“Hi Sienna,” Ryan said, he was a boy from the Hermes cabin who had a huge crush on me, I didn’t really know him though, I mean, I sparred with him sometimes but we never really talked.
“Hi Ryan, what up?”
“Not much, you on you’re way to archery? Me too! I love you outfit today,” He talked way too much, and I wasn’t even wearing anything pretty, just a t-shirt and some sweats.
“Thanks, um, Ryan, I got to go, I actually am going to talk to Chiron. Bye!” and I ran off, Ryan was nice, but I didn’t really like him. As I was running off I bumped into Tim, kid of Hades. He was actually kind of cute. Though he cut him self, which was a little weird. “Sorry.”
“No problem, where you going?” He asked.
“To talk to Chiron, I really badly want a quest.” I said, I was sure I sounded like a complete dork. I felt really stupid talking to him about it because I kind of liked him.
“So was I, maybe we could get one other person and all ask for a quest,” He wanted to go on a quest with me, he wanted to go on a quest with me! Okay, I had to calm down. Serious face.
“Really? That’s cool, who else wants to get out of this gods forbid me to say it, hell hole of a camp?” I asked.
“There’s a good few that I know want to get out of this camp for a while,” he said, “But our best chance is taking Eve or Clarity with us.”
“Hmm, what do you think? I mean Clarity more aggressive and hot headed but she’s a better fighter, though Eve has the smarts and talent, she also keeps a cool head in battle, but her skill isn’t as good.”
“Let’s go with Clarity, she took care of me and Nina for four years, longer for Alex though, poor kid…” He looked lost in thought, “Anyway, lets go ask Chiron.” His left wrist was showing a bit and he realized that I was looking at it. We started walking to the big house, he seemed a bit cautious about who saw those.
I mean he wasn’t any different from about a fifth of the camp I had seen burns and scars on wrists before, though I remember that one kid from the Hecate cabin a few months back had been drinking a funny liquid, no it was not wine, and tried to burn a Harry Potter scar into my wrist, Chiron stopped the kid before the burn got too harsh on my skin. Though no matter what I did it always stayed, so now I’m like him but with the lighting scar on my wrist.
When we got to the big house Clarity was already there talking to Chiron. “But I’m old enough! The youngest person to ever get a quest here at camp was ten, I’m thirteen!”
“I’m sorry but unless you can find two others who want to go on a quest with you, I’m afraid you can’t go.” Chiron said.
“We want to go!” I said, they both looked in my direction, even Mr. D looked up from his pinochle game to see what was going on.
“A daughter of Aphrodite, a son of Hades, and a daughter of Dionysius? Weirdest group I’ve ever seen but okay,” we all stared at him in awe, “alright then, off to the Oracle with you.”
“Which one?” Tim asked, “There’s three of us.”
“Oh, right, well, um, right. Eve!” The girl from the Athena cabin came out from the dark and into the light. She had short choppy hair, and glasses. She froze in mid-step, Chiron looked ready to catch her.
Three must venture west towards sand,
To hear the sounds of a moon light band,
Standing together strong and ready,
To make the fighting steady.
Eve fell backwards, Chiron caught her and placed her on a pile of pillows, “Good luck, and good fortune to you. There was no limit for your time, but I’m going to say be back soon. Go back to your cabins, get ready, bid your fare wells and get going.” He said
“So basically were going to be the ones stopping Artemis and Aphrodite from killing each other,” Clarity said, “Awesome. Let’s go!”
“Let’s go get our selves killed,” I said.
“Hey Chiron, can I talk to the little blonde boy?” I asked as I walked up to him.
“Okay, but he’s a little aggressive,” Chiron led me to where he was sitting, he was talking to that girl who always tends to the fire during the day. “Mike, this is Sienna, she just needs to talk to you, okay?”

Chapter Two
Chapter Two
Nina
New Kids and Knifes
I ran into the Hades cabin I wasn’t sure why I was crying. It was five years ago. We all started out in Los Angeles. Me, Tim, Alex, and Dawn. Alex was so little, only nine years old and he left his mothers winery. Too many problems with his stepsisters. I met them once, wretched girls, Nina thought. Dawn was 13 and Tim and I were 12, traveling east towards the safety we never wanted.
Tim and I had just met Hades, none of the other gods knew about us, though the amount of time we spent surviving out side of camp was remarkable we were able to spend three years without going into camp for help. We were survivors. We lived knowing we were half-bloods longer than any had before us.
Though when we did get to camp no one knew about us until after the Kronos thing because Chiron wanted to keep four powerful demigods safe. I kept thinking about it for the longest time when all of sudden Tim walked in with a lollipop in his mouth and a little silver knife at his wrist.
“Tim! Not again! I told you already, your blood wont make the cute girls from the Aphrodite cabin to like you more!” I walked over to him and took the knife out of his hand. For my twin brother, we were 17, he acted like a 13 year old.
“But they like guys who are strong and manly and who have scars!” He protested.
“Tim. I’ve said this before and I will say it again. Just because the word cute has the word cut does not mean you cut your self! And they like battle scars, trust me.” I was annoyed with how many pale white lines that were on his left wrist. “Twelve cuts plus three you’ve done today. That’s fifteen cuts, if you don’t stop I’ll tell Chiron to stop giving you the pomegranate lollipops.”
“But… But those are my favorite!” he complained.
“I don’t care, you have got to stop cutting yourself!” I was staring out the window, “Don’t you have something to do with the Apollo cabin anyway?”
“Yeah, were going to teach Jason how to… Never mind.” Tim stopped when he realized who he was talking to.
“What are you…? Never mind. I don’t want to know, just go.” I gestured toward the door.
“See you at dinner.” He walked out of the cabin. After I was sure Time was out of site. I walked out the door down to the big house. I needed to IM someone.
I probably walked into the big house at the worst time ever. Chiron, Mr. D, and the satyrs were having a meeting, strangely Greyson was absent. I walked up to Chiron and said, “Chiron, I need to Iris Message someone,”
“Nina, can it wait? Mr. D just came back from his meeting on Olympus and something is wrong.” Chiron didn’t want me to test Mr. D’s mood because he already hated though he thought Tim was angle even though he had exploded half the camp once before… Mr. D got up out of his chair and walked over to me.
“Nina I have told you many times before, do NOT interrupt my meetings! You know it pisses me off!” I could see a wild purple fire in his eyes, it was a twisting fire that I had seen many, many times before, men turning into dolphins, vines strangling children, it was the look I had seen many times before, but I held my ground, since I was a child of Hades we had different things we could do, I knew that my power wouldn’t work so well on gods but it did work.
“Mr. D, don’t push your luck, you remember what happened last time, right?” I stared him straight in the eye. It always freaked the demigods out, once it even scared Dawn, and she isn’t afraid of anything.
“I will not have you be interrupting my meetings with Chiron and the satyrs! Especially when I have just come back from Olympus with an urgent message. Aphrodite and Artemis are fighting and a mysterious force is bringing monsters together to most possibly take over Olympus! I will not let you Iris Message someone in the middle of my meeting!” I was waiting for him to realize what he was saying, though the fire in my eyes was told to make people go a little crazy.
“Dionysius I will mess with your mess with your head if I have to,” I was at boiling point.
“Fine, three minutes, but that is all.” He was furious with me but he had to love me, I saved Alex’s life to many times. Chiron led me to the indoor fountain that we used for the Iris Messages. I took out a gold drachma and tossed it into the mist the fountain created and muttered “O goddess accept my offering,” the mist turned into a rainbow, “Underworld.”
Hades appeared sitting on his throne in the form of a emo teenage boy eating a pomegranate. “Dad. Dad. Dad! Yo Hades!” I yelled, he looked up.
“What?” he had no emotion in voice what so ever.
“Do you cut yourself?” I really needed to know.
“Yes,” he said as he looked at his wrist.
“That explains a lot.” Then there was a big explosion and Hades got a look of excitement and concern on his face.
“What just happened?” he asked.
“I think Tim just exploded half the camp again, gotta go!” I waved away the mist image of my dad. I ran out the door and saw the lake hovering in mid-air I thought it was Aiden because the boys probably exploded the lake but I saw Aiden running down half –blood hill towards the lake, I ran toward her.
“How are you doing that?” I asked her we were running towards the boys.
“I’m not!” she yelled.
“Then who is?!” I yelled back.
“Maybe it’s whoever the boys are crowding around,” we pushed our way through the crowd. There was this girl being crushed the under the weight of the lake. Then Aiden went next to her and they lowered the lake back into it’s place.
“Who are you?” I asked she had long blonde hair and blue eyes.
“Anna. Anna Richards,” she said.
“Wait, I just rescued a girl named Paige Richards,” Aiden said, “And you look just like her. Except your hair is lighter.”
“Paige. Paige is my step sister! Our dad Nicholas Richards is that guy who owns that big toy store on 34th street, Richards Toy Store. We went for a walk in central park then a girl with short blonde hair, green eyes walked out of the trees and chained Paige to a rock, then a flying pony came out of the sky and two small girls pulled me on and I blacked out. And now I’m here.”
“You really know nothing about mythology, do you?” Oceania asked, a small daughter of Iris.
“By the way Nina, you Iris message people way to much,” Opal said.
“What does mythology have to do with anything that has to do with me?” Anna asked, “I’m a teenage girl who travels around Europe and the rest of the world helping kids who are need of fresh water with the rest of the kids with famous parents H2O for Life, and Paige helps the children’s theatre in Barcelona and Athens during the summer.”
“Yes, you help H2O for Life and your sister helps the children’s theatre in Athens, Greece. Tell me those things aren’t close to mythology, don’t all your friends talk about it?” Oceania was looking at her with one of her hard cold looks, those always crept me out.
“Now Oceania lets give her some time to get over the shock before telling her half of her friends were monsters and the other half are demigods.” Opal said glaring at her sister with her death glare.
“What?! Half of my friends are monsters from Greek myths that may or may not be real?” Anna was looking at both of them, or at least trying to.
“Oh great! Now you blew it!” Oceania and Opal started fighting and Chiron tried to lead them away quietly before it got nasty. Then suddenly Paige came and Anna got up.
“Paige!”
“Anna!”
“Guys, enough hugging look above your heads, you’ve been claimed!” Aiden said. And she was right, above Paige’s head was a blazing owl and above Anna’s was a trident.
“All hail Paige Richards daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom, and Anna Richards daughter of Poseidon, earth shaker, god of the seas.”
“Welcome to the Poseidon cabin,” Aiden said.
“Welcome to the Athena cabin,” a tall girl that looked like a typical California girl with grey eyes, it was Eve. She was gorgeous, Aphrodite had obviously taken a liking in her. “Come on, I’ll give you a tour of the camp.”
“And I’ll give you one,” Aiden said to Anna, “Let’s go!”
“Wait, so just because a blazing blue-green trident appeared over my head, means I’m a daughter of Poseidon, what the hell?” Anna was confused as ever.
“Hey, just be happy it’s not a blazing peacock! If that happened… I don’t even want to think about it.” Someone in the crowd said, I was sure it was the voice of a eight year old boy, I turned around and the crowd surrounded a little blonde boy with a weird headset and a box of chocolate.
“Umm… are you lost kid? Cause this is just a summer camp, nothing special,” trying to divert his attention from all the campers with weapons in their hands.
“Sure it is, and that lake didn’t just fall back from the sky? I’m no dumb ass,” This kid was smart, he look maybe eight, nine, and he could probably fly and we didn’t know it.
“Okay! That is it! I am sick of all the new campers around here, first Aiden and Jason, then these two, and now him!” Dawn yelled.
“Dawn, calm yourself. It’s going to be fine, more campers is good because…” Chiron trailed off, I met his eyes. This is what basically happened:
Should we tell them?
No! we can’t scare them, we need to oraganize a quest, a few of them too.
Chiron, this is serious, someone could get hurt.
We will send one group to fix the Aphrodite and Artemis problem, and the other for the mysterious force.
At least let me tell them!
Fine!
“Uh, guys,” Everyone’s heads turned toward me, “we have a big problem. Aphrodite and Artemis are fighting and some mysterious force is gathering monsters together to take over Olympus, say hello to Kronos attack numero dos.” Everyone stared at me.
“Oh shit!” Aiden said, “I had a dream about the two goddess’s fighting last night! They were arguing about how Aphrodite was giving Artemis’s hunters boys to love.”
“What?” Mr. D came into the circle of the crowd, “Is that really what they are fighting about? This is bad, even though they will get over it, this force while these two goddess’s are fighting will become it’s strongest.”
Then the crowd parted again and a wood nymph wearing a green and white dress walked up to Mr. D, I had never in my life seen this wood nymph before in my whole time at camp half-blood. She moved her lips but no words came out, but Mr. D seemed as if he were listening attentively.
“This is Ivy, I remember, this is the wood nymph we cursed… for reasons that I have forgotten at the moment. Anyway, she said that she knows this force has spies around camp looking at camp activity and we should be careful of what we say and do.”
Then Ivy made a ball of greenish light in her hands and it started to grow and it showed pictures of the two goddess’s fighting, then the little blonde boy walked up to Ivy and said something that shocked me to a level of extreme shock.
“You tried to kill me three days ago with that little orb of directions you have! Almost led me off a cliff!” He yelled at the nymph. Chiron and Churro walked up to him and led him away, jeez, eight year olds and their wild imaginations.
“Okay whatever then, back to your normal schedule anyone who is not giving tours better be gone in five seconds or else!” Mr. D yelled, everyone went back to their afternoon activities. I went back to my cabin to take it all in, just to find Tim with another knife.
“Tim! I’m going to kill you!”

“All hail Paige Richards daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom, and Anna Richards daughter of Poseidon, earth shaker, god of the seas.”
“Welcome to the Poseidon cabin,” Aiden said.
“Welcome to the Athena cabin,” a tall girl that looked like a typical California girl with grey eyes, it was Eve. She was gorgeous, Aphrodite had obviously taken a liking in her. “Come on, I’ll give you a tour of the camp.”
“And I’ll give you one,” Aiden said to Anna, “Let’s go!”
“Wait, so just because a blazing blue-green trident appeared over my head, means I’m a daughter of Poseidon, what the hell?” Anna was confused as ever.
“Hey, just be happy it’s not a blazing peacock! If that happened… I don’t even want to think about it.” Someone in the crowd said, I was sure it was the voice of a eight year old boy, I turned around and the crowd surrounded a little blonde boy with a weird headset and a box of chocolate.
“Umm… are you lost kid? Cause this is just a summer camp, nothing special,” trying to divert his attention from all the campers with weapons in their hands.
“Sure it is, and that lake didn’t just fall back from the sky? I’m no dumb ass,” This kid was smart, he look maybe eight, nine, and he could probably fly and we didn’t know it.
“Okay! That is it! I am sick of all the new campers around here, first Aiden and Jason, then these two, and now him!” Dawn yelled.
“Dawn, calm yourself. It’s going to be fine, more campers is good because…” Chiron trailed off, I met his eyes. This is what basically happened:
Should we tell them?
No! we can’t scare them, we need to oraganize a quest, a few of them too.
Chiron, this is serious, someone could get hurt.
We will send one group to fix the Aphrodite and Artemis problem, and the other for the mysterious force.
At least let me tell them!
Fine!
“Uh, guys,” Everyone’s heads turned toward me, “we have a big problem. Aphrodite and Artemis are fighting and some mysterious force is gathering monsters together to take over Olympus, say hello to Kronos attack numero dos.” Everyone stared at me.
“Oh shit!” Aiden said, “I had a dream about the two goddess’s fighting last night! They were arguing about how Aphrodite was giving Artemis’s hunters boys to love.”
“What?” Mr. D came into the circle of the crowd, “Is that really what they are fighting about? This is bad, even though they will get over it, this force while these two goddess’s are fighting will become it’s strongest.”
Then the crowd parted again and a wood nymph wearing a green and white dress walked up to Mr. D, I had never in my life seen this wood nymph before in my whole time at camp half-blood. She moved her lips but no words came out, but Mr. D seemed as if he were listening attentively.
“This is Ivy, I remember, this is the wood nymph we cursed… for reasons that I have forgotten at the moment. Anyway, she said that she knows this force has spies around camp looking at camp activity and we should be careful of what we say and do.”
Then Ivy made a ball of greenish light in her hands and it started to grow and it showed pictures of the two goddess’s fighting, then the little blonde boy walked up to Ivy and said something that shocked me to a level of extreme shock.
“You tried to kill me three days ago with that little orb of directions you have! Almost led me off a cliff!” He yelled at the nymph. Chiron and Churro walked up to him and led him away, jeez, eight year olds and their wild imaginations.
“Okay whatever then, back to your normal schedule anyone who is not giving tours better be gone in five seconds or else!” Mr. D yelled, everyone went back to their afternoon activities. I went back to my cabin to take it all in, just to find Tim with another knife.
“Tim! I’m going to kill you!”

Stuff: Homework Sucks
Have you noticed that I made some recent changes to the Quibbler? I was getting really tired of the space thing, it was annoying the creativity in my mind. Anyway, I'm doing my math homework right now and it is REALLY annoying, I mean seriously, when in life am i going to need to know how to graph a function? Do they put people in Algebra just to annoy the person? I mean I see no point in graphing my salary for the month, come on, do you really think a bunch of tech savvy teens are going to want to be MATH teachers when they grow up?! There's a simple answer to that. No. Hell to the No. Next homework subject I hate. Grammar! It sucks balls! Prepositions, adverbs, pronouns, verbs, nouns, conjunctions, etc. Do we really have to put a label on them? Why can't we just call them words and get on with life? And thats the end of my homework rant.

Science Fair
So this isn't going to be a poem or story post, its going to be a post of anger towards my stupid science teacher.
So my science fair paper is due tomorrow, and he wont let me talk to him about how my project completely failed, and he wonders why I'm failing. So me being Super Teenager Girl, did my whole entire f***ing project in one night, my grade better go up to at least a "C", if not, I will hunt my science teacher down and demand a better grade. I might do more regular posts... maybe.

Chapter One
Chapter One
Aiden
Monsters and Music
“Ugh!” I said, “Jason! You’re gunna get us killed! If you keep blaring that music they like so much were gunna die! Fifth time this week!”
“Sorry! My iTouch does it when it’s on shuffle!” He yelled back, we were standing on the edge of a cliff surrounded by monsters.
“Then look at the song that’s gunna come on next! Godsdamnit! You are such an idiot!” I yelled. Okay, I should probably stop here and explain the cliff, Jason, me, and the monsters. Jason and I were on our way to camp half-blood, being guided by a satyr, Greyson, he was a brave satyr but could be a coward when it came to furies. This was exactly what was chasing us. Me, my name is Aiden, but I have no memory of my life. At all. Jason, well I met him on my way with Greyson to camp. The cliff, we took a wrong turn and ended up in Sea Cliff Village on Long Island.
Back to the story.
“Guys, I’ll hold them off! Run! Tell Maple if I’m not back in an hour!” Greyson started playing a song on his reed pipes. We ran. But two hellhounds came after us. Maple is Greysons’ wood nymph girlfriend.
“Great, just great! Were never gunna make it to camp!” I yelled.
“Stop being so negative! Let’s stop behind these rocks.” He said. We stopped behind the rocks that were to our left. I took out my knife and ripped my skirt, it was the longest thing in the universe, it went down to my ankles and restricted me from running, go figure also. The teacher who thought of the long skirts was a monster.
I cut it short then we started running again. After the longest run ever we finally got to half-blood hill, but waiting there at the bottom was a hydra.
“Remember, if you cut one its heads off, two more grow back,” I said eyeing it cautiously.
“Yes, because that’s so amazingly helpful seeing as I have a bow and arrow,” Jason said.
“Right.”
“So myth wiz, how do we kill it?”
“Fire. We need fire.”
“Great, fire, where the Hades are we gunna get fire?”
“Top of the hill, the dragon.” I said, staring up. “Distract it while I run up there.”
“Um… you sure that’s a good idea?” He seemed worried.
“Yes! It’s fine! Plus, here comes Greyson now.” As soon as the first arrow hit the hydra I darted up the hill. The dragon realized I was a lost demi-god and knew what to do immediately. A burst of fire shot out of the dragons’ mouth towards the hydra and it disappeared into a yellow dust.
“Jason! Your alive!”
“And why do you seem so surprised?”
“Because you almost died last time.”
“Right.”
We got into camp and were greeted by the campers and the centaur, Chiron. He was tall and he looked like relief had washed over him when he saw me. He said, “Oh good, you’re alive, come you need to see Dawn.”
“Wait. Chiron, whose Dawn?” I asked.
“You will know when you see her.”
“Can Jason come? He’s like my brother,” I said. I was starting to worry.
“I’m sorry dear, Jason can got with the rest of the Apollo’s,” Chiron gave me a look of sympathy.
“Okay,” I said reluctantly as I followed beside him, I didn’t really trust his back end.
We walked into a big house, it was four stories tall, it looked like it had a basement. I was right. We walked into the rec room, or at least I think that’s what it was because it had a ping pong table in it. Sitting on the table was a blonde girl with stormy blue eyes. Which told me she might want to kill me.
“Hi cuz,” she smiled slyly, “Haven’t seen you since we were toddlers, ole’ barnacle head took you down into the sea to train you then popped you into some random class room in NY and now you’re here.”
“Hi Dawn, what do want from me anyway?” I was sure she was gunna say something like we had a score to settle or we have a fight we need to finish or I owe her, and I was right.
“We have a score to settle, meet me in the arena in ten minutes. Chiron, tell the whole camp to come, I want them to see that this Seaweed Brain isn’t that smart.” She walked out like she owned the camp.
“Uh… I’m toast aren’t I?” I asked him.
“It seems so,” He said his face was grave, like this determined whether we would be friends or foes.
When I walked into the arena, it was huge and it seemed as though the whole camp was there. I was freaked out because there Dawn was, on the other side of the arena with a three foot long sword and all I had was my knife. It was so small compared to what she had in her hand, I knew I was dead.
Before I knew it, she yelled “For Zeus!” and she came charging at me. I probably looked like a complete idiot just standing there in my makeshift tunic with my knife in my hand trying to not get killed. She knocked me off my feet and I flew back at least ten feet. Well, I thought, her weak spot is probably her shoulder, that’s where mine is, plus, there’s a central nerve there… if only I could get in close enough.
I pulled my self off the ground and waited for her to charge again, it didn’t take long this time though. In the distance of all the cries of excitement I could hear Greyson say, “Don’t you think you should stop them?” and Chiron say, “You’re kidding right? This is the best part!” but I needed to pay attention. I guessed if I won, we were friends, if I didn’t we were foes. She tried to knock me over, her sword was loose in her hand, and I found my chance.
As soon as I got in reach of the hilt, I used my knife and hit the hilt of her sword and it fell to the ground, next thing I knew, my knee was to her chest and my knife to her throat. “Good job cuz, looks like you actually learned something in that whirl pool he calls home,” She said, trying to breath.
“Thanks. I think.” I removed me knee from her chest and left the arena. I could hear whispering behind me. Stuff like, “Was that beginners luck?” or “She beat Dawn! No ones done that!” When I was walking through the courtyard where all the cabins were I past a girl sitting and tending to the fire, I stopped. I sat down next to her, “Hi, what’s your name?” I said.
“My name is Hestia, I am goddess of the Hearth and Home. You are one of the few to actually stop and talk to me.” She said.
“Really? That’s sad.” I guess I had a funny look on my face because she said, “It’s fine. Though no one really remembers me, I am a fading god. There are no great poems written about me.”
“Oh.” I said, I sat there and talked to her the rest of the afternoon until dinner.
I went to dinner in the Dining Pavilion in my own line, I felt real alone. I mean there was Jason. But the other Apollo’s will probably suck him into their world. Then I thought about Dawn, she was the only one in her line. And it seemed like it been that way for a while. I looked one line down and there were two kids, both were wearing black and red. Which god did the colors black and red remind me of…?
Hades. That’s who those colors reminded me of. I heard them talking to each other.
“Nina, whose the new girl?” I heard the boy say. So that was the girls name.
“That’s Aiden. Daughter of Poseidon,” She looked at me and gave me the hint that she wanted to talk, “it’s fine Tim.”
“Okay…” he answered warily.
When we got our food we got back up and scraped the best looking bit into the fire, an offering for the gods. After dinner we went to the Amphitheater where the Apollo Cabin led the sing along. The Apollo Cabin. I saw Jason up there with them singing along happily. Nina came to sit next to me.
“Hi. I’m Nina.” She said.
“Aiden.” I said back.
“I heard you beat Dawn,” She looked at me like I was a hero, “No ones done that.”
“So I’ve heard,” I replied, “Who here hates me?”
“Uh, let me think… Oceania and Opal, Marie, and Alison. That’s it, other than that people will pretty much like you, unless you give a reason to not in capture the flag.” She said.
“Wait. Capture the flag?” I asked, I was confused.
“You’ll find out on Friday,” she smiled at me.
Great, I thought, a game where I’m probably gonna get myself killed.
After the sing-along I went to my cabin, it seemed like no one had been there for a few months, there was a thin layer of dust that was on one of the bunks, the rest looked as if they were never used. She decided to take the bunk under the one that looked most recently used, seeming safer. I put my hair clip next to my bed and fell asleep almost immediately. But I had a horrible dream, one of my worst yet.
I was on a beach, I didn’t know where, but I could see two people fighting, I didn’t know who they were but they looked important to me. Both were girls. One was wearing a tunic trimmed with pink flowers and the other was wearing a silver tunic with silver moon shaped lace stuff at the bottom. I realized who they were. The one in pink was Aphrodite and the one in silver was Artemis. They were both fighting with knives, Aphrodite actually was very skillful with a knife surprisingly.
“Stop. Giving. My. Girls. Guys. To. Love!” Artemis looked ready to kill Aphrodite, though if your immortal you can’t really die…
“I don’t care! You shouldn’t keep girls from love! It’s not natural!” Aphrodite sounded incredibly convincing.
“I’m giving them a chance to feel a good about themselves without having a guy telling them what they have to change! They did this so wouldn’t need love!” Artemis looked raged.
“I’m giving them another chance! Maybe they all joined hoping to find love in a hundred years or so! For the goddess of the moon your pretty dim!” Aphrodite retorted.
Then the dream ended. Gone. Complete. I didn’t know what else I was expecting but it was obviously more than that.
First class of the day today. Sword Arena. That’s where I would fight other campers for practice. Okay great. I grabbed my hair clip and walked out of my cabin when I walked in to the arena I guessed it sensed a fight because it fell to the ground and turned into a 20 inch knife. Okay I walked over to the mat a tall girl with brown hair, looked about thirteen.
“Ready to fight? Your gunna be the volunteer for today!” she smiled slyly
“Bring it on,” I said, I didn’t feel as brave as I sounded. I readied my knife, she did the same. She charged. Why does everyone charge? I don’t know, I stood like a statue. She got close I blocked her hit and cut a deep gash into her shoulder.
“What the hell was the for?!” She yelled at me.
“Umm... instinct? Sorry,” I felt really bad about cutting her shoulder but she would’ve stabbed mine.
“This isn’t the end Seaweed Brain,” she limped away sniffling with a guy helping her. Walking her away, he looked nice. But half way across the archers field she fell. Oh shit! I ran over to her, she was breathing, but she had fainted. Shit! Shit! Shit! I thought, she’s gunna hate me so much when she wakes up.
“Take her to the big house, she needs Chiron, if he’s not their, go to the Apollo cabin and ask for Jason, he’ll know what to do, he’s been doing it for me all week.” I told the boy, “By the way, I didn’t catch you name, what is it?”
“I’m Alex, Alex Rochester.”
Archery, great I know I’m gunna fail this. After about 15 minutes we found out archery was defiantly not my thing. I had finally got the arrow where it should’ve been on the bow when it flew out of my hand bounced off the target circled around, flew past my ear. Next thing I knew I could hear crying and there was a knife at my neck.
I turned around and there again was the girl with the knife in her hand, Mouthy Girl, I thought. But she didn’t mouth me. She started sobbing in pain and fear. I was guessing she wanted to murder me.
“Umm… Alex?” I said cautiously.
“Yeah, I know what to do.” He was so nice about it.
I went to the climbing wall next. Nothing bad is gunna happen this time. Nothing. How wrong was I? very. Again, mouthy girl was below me and I was being clumsy. The earthquake mode started and I fell. I was gabbing air, my eyes were closed. Finally I got hold of something it was soft and silky. Fabric. I grabbed her skirt, my weight was to much for it and I fell not that far though. She fell with me. But she landed on top of me. She grabbed the piece of her skirt I ripped off.
“Thanks for cushioning my fall,” she said sarcastically.
“Happy to oblige,” I said.
“I told this wasn’t over, and it isn’t get ready for the biggest wave of monsters yet Hunter, your world might be perfect now, but just you wait. Everything is about to change.” And she walked away.
I hung out with Nina by the lake after lunch. We talked about camp half-blood and mouthy girl, her name was Marie. And she hated me because I kept getting her in close to death situations. Yay me! No. not really.
“I feel like I don’t really fit in here,” I said.
“No one does when they first get here, they feel as if they should be somewhere else because they cause to much damage. No one should feel safe around them.” Nina said as if reading my thoughts.
“Well, it’s true. I almost killed my best friend when I was in kindergarten. And then in third grade I almost killed my teacher, though my teacher was trying to kill me…”
Nina laughed like she heard stuff like that all the time, “what?”
“Nothing, I just remember what it was like when I was out there fighting monsters a while ago. Oh those were the days.” Nina sighed as if remembering her life before camp.
“What was it like? Was it just you and Tim?” I was full of questions but only asked a few.
“It was me, Tim, Alex, and Dawn. We were out there fighting monsters like there was no tomorrow. Then Greyson found us and brought us here. And then it all stopped. The fun. The friendship. The laughs after we killed the monsters.” She sighed sadly.
“That sucks, it all stopped because you came to camp?” I asked.
“Yes,” she held back a sob, “I’m sorry I’ve got to go.”
“Okay.” I think I hit a nerve that brought back sad memories and stuff she really wanted to do again. Crap, I thought, I do that to everyone! So I just sat on the hill when all of a sudden some one came up behind me and tapped me on my shoulder. I jumped up my knife all ready in my hand.
“Okay, okay! I surrender!” I was looking at Jason.
“Oh, sorry! You just freaked me out.” I said my knife form back into a hair clip.
“I can tell,” he said, “I love it here at camp. Everyone is so nice. Especially the centaur.” Jason said.
“Chiron?” I asked.
“No. Churro.” He looked at me with a very serious look on his face.
“There’s seriously a centaur named Churro?” I was about to laugh.
“Yes!”
“Okay! Okay!” I raised my hands in surrender.
“So whose team are you on for capture the flag? Apollo is always with Hermes and Athena. Always.”
“Well I heard from some of the other campers that a guy named Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon, was always with them so I guess I’ll be with you guys.”
“Cool, well the other Apollo guys want to show me something in the cabin, I’ll see you later.”
“Okay. See you later.” I sighed as I watch Jason meet a bunch of guys at the bottom of the hill. I had only two friends at this camp at the moment. Jason and Nina. The rest of the camp was waiting to see how good I was in capture the flag. Then I heard a scream on the other side of the hill. I ran to the top and saw a girl with blonde hair running up the hill being chased by a hell hound, Greyson on her tail.
My hair clip fell from my hair into my hand, shining in the afternoon sun. I ran down the hill passing the dragon towards the hell hound. This was the most fun I was probably gonna have all day. I shouted, “Hey ugly! Over here!” the hell hound rounded on me. I stood my ground, when he got extremely close I jumped and did a 180 in the air and landed on the hell hounds back.
He was like a bucking bronco but I held on. When he stop trying to get me off because he thought I fell I stabbed him with my knife. He let out a howl and disintegrated into a yellow dust.
“You just saved her!” Greyson was staring at me, “You just killed a hell hound and saved this girl! You’re a hero!”
“You saved my life!” The girl said, she looked horrified and all scratched up.
“Yes, I know. What’s your name?” I asked the girl.
“Paige. Paige Richards.” She responded.
“Greyson, what happened?” I asked the satyr.
“Well I was walking in central park and I saw her she was chained to a rock with celestial bronze bonds, being attacked by the hell hound you just killed. So one of the wood nymphs in the park diverted its attention long enough for me to break the bonds. And we’ve been running since that pasture of cows about two miles back.”
“That explains the smell.” Then there was an explosion, I ran back up the hill and saw the lake hovering in mid-air. “Oh Shit.”
Aiden
Monsters and Music
“Ugh!” I said, “Jason! You’re gunna get us killed! If you keep blaring that music they like so much were gunna die! Fifth time this week!”
“Sorry! My iTouch does it when it’s on shuffle!” He yelled back, we were standing on the edge of a cliff surrounded by monsters.
“Then look at the song that’s gunna come on next! Godsdamnit! You are such an idiot!” I yelled. Okay, I should probably stop here and explain the cliff, Jason, me, and the monsters. Jason and I were on our way to camp half-blood, being guided by a satyr, Greyson, he was a brave satyr but could be a coward when it came to furies. This was exactly what was chasing us.

Which told me she might want to kill me.

“I heard you beat Dawn,” She looked at me like I was a hero, “No ones done that.”
“So I’ve heard,” I replied, “Who here hates me?”
“Uh, let me think… Oceania and Opal, Marie, and Alison. That’s it, other than that people will pretty much like you, unless you give a reason to not in capture the flag.” She said.
“Wait. Capture the flag?” I asked, I was confused.
“You’ll find out on Friday,” she smiled at me.
Great, I thought, a game where I’m probably gonna get myself killed.
After the sing-along I went to my cabin, it seemed like no one had been there for a few months, there was a thin layer of dust that was on one of the bunks, the rest looked as if they were never used. She decided to take the bunk under the one that looked most recently used, seeming safer. I put my hair clip next to my bed and fell asleep almost immediately. But I had a horrible dream, one of my worst yet.
I was on a beach, I didn’t know where, but I could see two people fighting, I didn’t know who they were but they looked important to me. Both were girls. One was wearing a tunic trimmed with pink flowers and the other was wearing a silver tunic with silver moon shaped lace stuff at the bottom. I realized who they were. The one in pink was Aphrodite and the one in silver was Artemis. They were both fighting with knives, Aphrodite actually was very skillful with a knife surprisingly.
“Stop. Giving. My. Girls. Guys. To. Love!” Artemis looked ready to kill Aphrodite, though if your immortal you can’t really die…
“I don’t care! You shouldn’t keep girls from love! It’s not natural!” Aphrodite sounded incredibly convincing.
“I’m giving them a chance to feel a good about themselves without having a guy telling them what they have to change! They did this so wouldn’t need love!” Artemis looked raged.
“I’m giving them another chance! Maybe they all joined hoping to find love in a hundred years or so! For the goddess of the moon your pretty dim!” Aphrodite retorted.
Then the dream ended. Gone. Complete. I didn’t know what else I was expecting but it was obviously more than that.
First class of the day today. Sword Arena. That’s where I would fight other campers for practice. Okay great. I grabbed my hair clip and walked out of my cabin when I walked in to the arena I guessed it sensed a fight because it fell to the ground and turned into a 20 inch knife. Okay I walked over to the mat a tall girl with brown hair, looked about thirteen.
“Ready to fight? Your gunna be the volunteer for today!” she smiled slyly
“Bring it on,” I said, I didn’t feel as brave as I sounded. I readied my knife, she did the same. She charged. Why does everyone charge? I don’t know, I stood like a statue. She got close I blocked her hit and cut a deep gash into her shoulder.
“What the hell was the for?!” She yelled at me.
“Umm... instinct? Sorry,” I felt really bad about cutting her shoulder but she would’ve stabbed mine.
“This isn’t the end Seaweed Brain,” she limped away sniffling with a guy helping her. Walking her away, he looked nice. But half way across the archers field she fell. Oh shit! I ran over to her, she was breathing, but she had fainted. Shit! Shit! Shit! I thought, she’s gunna hate me so much when she wakes up.
“Take her to the big house, she needs Chiron, if he’s not their, go to the Apollo cabin and ask for Jason, he’ll know what to do, he’s been doing it for me all week.” I told the boy, “By the way, I didn’t catch you name, what is it?”
“I’m Alex, Alex Rochester.”
Archery, great I know I’m gunna fail this. After about 15 minutes we found out archery was defiantly not my thing. I had finally got the arrow where it should’ve been on the bow when it flew out of my hand bounced off the target circled around, flew past my ear. Next thing I knew I could hear crying and there was a knife at my neck.
I turned around and there again was the girl with the knife in her hand, Mouthy Girl, I thought. But she didn’t mouth me. She started sobbing in pain and fear. I was guessing she wanted to murder me.
“Umm… Alex?” I said cautiously.
“Yeah, I know what to do.” He was so nice about it.
I went to the climbing wall next. Nothing bad is gunna happen this time. Nothing. How wrong was I? very. Again, mouthy girl was below me and I was being clumsy. The earthquake mode started and I fell. I was gabbing air, my eyes were closed. Finally I got hold of something it was soft and silky. Fabric. I grabbed her skirt, my weight was to much for it and I fell not that far though. She fell with me. But she landed on top of me. She grabbed the piece of her skirt I ripped off.
“Thanks for cushioning my fall,” she said sarcastically.
“Happy to oblige,” I said.
“I told this wasn’t over, and it isn’t get ready for the biggest wave of monsters yet Hunter, your world might be perfect now, but just you wait. Everything is about to change.” And she walked away.
I hung out with Nina by the lake after lunch. We talked about camp half-blood and mouthy girl, her name was Marie. And she hated me because I kept getting her in close to death situations. Yay me! No. not really.
“I feel like I don’t really fit in here,” I said.
“No one does when they first get here, they feel as if they should be somewhere else because they cause to much damage. No one should feel safe around them.” Nina said as if reading my thoughts.
“Well, it’s true. I almost killed my best friend when I was in kindergarten. And then in third grade I almost killed my teacher, though my teacher was trying to kill me…”
Nina laughed like she heard stuff like that all the time, “what?”
“Nothing, I just remember what it was like when I was out there fighting monsters a while ago. Oh those were the days.” Nina sighed as if remembering her life before camp.
“What was it like? Was it just you and Tim?” I was full of questions but only asked a few.
“It was me, Tim, Alex, and Dawn. We were out there fighting monsters like there was no tomorrow. Then Greyson found us and brought us here. And then it all stopped. The fun. The friendship. The laughs after we killed the monsters.” She sighed sadly.
“That sucks, it all stopped because you came to camp?” I asked.
“Yes,” she held back a sob, “I’m sorry I’ve got to go.”
“Okay.” I think I hit a nerve that brought back sad memories and stuff she really wanted to do again. Crap, I thought, I do that to everyone! So I just sat on the hill when all of a sudden some one came up behind me and tapped me on my shoulder. I jumped up my knife all ready in my hand.
“Okay, okay! I surrender!” I was looking at Jason.
“Oh, sorry! You just freaked me out.” I said my knife form back into a hair clip.
“I can tell,” he said, “I love it here at camp. Everyone is so nice. Especially the centaur.” Jason said.
“Chiron?” I asked.
“No. Churro.” He looked at me with a very serious look on his face.
“There’s seriously a centaur named Churro?” I was about to laugh.
“Yes!”
“Okay! Okay!” I raised my hands in surrender.
“So whose team are you on for capture the flag? Apollo is always with Hermes and Athena. Always.”
“Well I heard from some of the other campers that a guy named Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon, was always with them so I guess I’ll be with you guys.”
“Cool, well the other Apollo guys want to show me something in the cabin, I’ll see you later.”
“Okay. See you later.” I sighed as I watch Jason meet a bunch of guys at the bottom of the hill. I had only two friends at this camp at the moment. Jason and Nina. The rest of the camp was waiting to see how good I was in capture the flag. Then I heard a scream on the other side of the hill. I ran to the top and saw a girl with blonde hair running up the hill being chased by a hell hound, Greyson on her tail.
My hair clip fell from my hair into my hand, shining in the afternoon sun. I ran down the hill passing the dragon towards the hell hound. This was the most fun I was probably gonna have all day. I shouted, “Hey ugly! Over here!” the hell hound rounded on me. I stood my ground, when he got extremely close I jumped and did a 180 in the air and landed on the hell hounds back.
He was like a bucking bronco but I held on. When he stop trying to get me off because he thought I fell I stabbed him with my knife. He let out a howl and disintegrated into a yellow dust.
“You just saved her!” Greyson was staring at me, “You just killed a hell hound and saved this girl! You’re a hero!”
“You saved my life!” The girl said, she looked horrified and all scratched up.
“Yes, I know. What’s your name?” I asked the girl.
“Paige. Paige Richards.” She responded.
“Greyson, what happened?” I asked the satyr.
“Well I was walking in central park and I saw her she was chained to a rock with celestial bronze bonds, being attacked by the hell hound you just killed. So one of the wood nymphs in the park diverted its attention long enough for me to break the bonds. And we’ve been running since that pasture of cows about two miles back.”
“That explains the smell.” Then there was an explosion, I ran back up the hill and saw the lake hovering in mid-air. “Oh Shit.”

Dreams
I had one...
Till one person pushed it down.
Said it wasn't good enough for life,
for him to approve.
I guess it's true,
Gingers don't have souls.
If he had a mind or a heart,
Then maybe he'd see.
But then I realized that he was just pushing me down,
To make himself feel better.
So I don't share dreams with him anymore,
We just sit and talk about school.
He wont tell me anything,
But expects me to tell him my life story.
But I just sit there and nod attentively.
Saying nothing.
And now I'm better.

Fairy Tales
Fairy tales do not tell children dragons exist, for children already know dragons exist, fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed. children already know that fairy's exist, that's why they try to find them.
fairy tales do not tell children that wizards exist, fairy tales tell them that wizards can be extrodanairy.
fairy tales are the the stories we loved as children, but just dont even think about now.
all we do now is drg on and on about how we think we need more and more, but in the reality of it, we already have everything.
we have our friends to back us up or to help us when were feeling down,
we have the fairy tales from when we were little to help us through life.
i know it might sound stupid but except the only problem is.... that its not.
why cant fairy tales help us now?
they got us all through elementary school so why cant they help us now?
why cant they help us through our life, after we hit third grade we think their just myths, exaggerated truths, but the truth is, they're true.

Loving You is Impossible
I really like you but,
You just drive me crazy,
I might be a little weird.
I'm sitting on my bed,
Love Like Woe playing in my head
over and over,
"I kinda feel like it dont make sense because
you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
loved so strong, then you moved on now I'm hung up in suspense"
Loving you is impossible,
But it's different with you,
I mean its kinda nice,
Driven crazy by love...
but it is STILL love like woe

I Should Be There...
I should be there,
But I'm standing right here.
I should be close,
But I'm too afraid.
I want to be with you,
But all I can do is lose.
I love you,
But I don't know if you love me.
I feel rejected,
But thats my own fault.
I should be there,
Buying you gifts,
Holding your hand,
Making you laugh.
But I'm standing right here,
Instead of there.
But I'm standing right here.
I should be close,
But I'm too afraid.

Here I Am
Here I am,
I'm standing right here.
But no one wants to see me,
I'm out here all alone.
No one wants to be with me,
I'm only noticed when I'm with her,
And she's not that wonderful.
She's the "It" girl,
She has it all.
But I'm tired of her and "It",
I don't want to be ignored.
So I yelled,
"Here I am!"
And now I'm not ignored,
No.
Not any more,
Because...
Here I am.
I'm standing right here.

Once Upon a Time...
Once upon a time,
Thats how everything begins,
But no one would want to start a fairy tale
with anything but "Once upon a time..."
Why not,
"Once upon a dream..."?
Because everyone thinks
"Once upon a time..."
Sounds better,
But you can be different,
Instead of using
"Once upon a time..."
Why don't you come up with something?
It's your imagination,
It's your story,
Once upon a time...
I hope u guys like!

Never Say Never
Never say never,
To a flowing river,
A gentle hand,
A giving friend.
Never say never,
To something new,
Once upon at time,
I always said, "I could never..."
Then one day I just...
Stopped.
Now I'm a new person.
So just so you know,
Never say never.

Side to Side
Here I am,
I'm stepping side to side,
Im easing my way away,
But you keep following me.
Wherever I go I'm never completely alone.
And it haunts me to know,
Someone is always watching.
When I'm stepping side to side.

Dear Katrina
Dear Katrina,
I really wish you were here in Dublin, Ireland with me, I love it here. The fresh air, the nice cool sea breeze, and the people are just so nice. But very superstitious, a couple of people I met said if I write to you today I’m going to receive some bad news, but I don’t know what could be worse then having to be away from you, I’ll be back before Halloween, okay? I miss you! See you soon.
Love,
Ryan

Sincerely,
Ryan
Dear Ryan,
The reason why I said that is because… because my dad is going through something horrible right now, he might not live. I just don’t want to worry about our realationship and my dad and school work all at the same time, you just don’t get it because your parents are perfect. Now do you understand?
Sincerely,
Katrina
Dear Katrina,

Girl Shit
Some guys think that girls are stupid,
And have no minds what so ever.
So they take advantage of us,
Thinking we'll fall for their traps.
But were more complex,
Some guys think that all it takes to be a girl is
too put on a dress and a little make-up.
But it is so much more,
The trials and tribulations,
Our struggles and our shit,
Hence the title of this story/poem thing.
When guys break our hearts,
We try everything that we can to forget about them,
Or we think that they made a mistake and go
into a hysterical silence form our friends and
wait at our phones hoping you might text or call.
But we can make up for everything you guys might've
done to us,
That's why we have friends.
So you can think were stupid,
But your sooooooooooooooooooooo wrong.
And have no minds what so ever.

Dance
Can you move your feet,
To the hypnotic beat?
I can see the shadows of all the dancers right next to me
But your no where near,
And I need you to be clear,
But I guess you wont answer
To the beat of the dancers.

Till I Forget About You
Till I forget about you,
I'm gunna dance hard,
Laugh hard,
Turn this music up now,
Party like a rockstar,
Can I get a 'what' now?
Till I forget about you,
I'm gunna jump up,
fall down,
dance all around now,
I swear I'll do anything that I
have to,
Till I forget about you...
I'm gunna dance hard,
Laugh hard,
Turn this music up now,
Party like a rockstar,

dance all around now,
I swear I'll do anything that I
have to,

Journey to the End of My Life
I want to take a journey to the end of my life,
Cause I just want to see what it's like,
Am I loved or am I hated?
Am I famous?
Or normal?

I'll Love You Forever
I’m sitting on my bed, the rain bashing against my already crappy window, thinking about the past. My dead boy friend that I’ll never get over no matter how much I try. I lay my head on my pillow, when my phone rings, I answer.
“Hello?” then suddenly, I feel a tug behind my gut, and I don’t know exactly, but I guess I was pulled into my phone. I felt a little like a ghost, and then I looked to where I was, I was on a date with James, little did I know it was going to be my last. We were inside the little Starbucks a few blocks away from the university, it was five years ago, I was only 20.
“Aly, lets run away, get away from all this crap, live a life together in Spain or Italy!” James said enthusiastically.
“I don’t know… I really want to major in photography and writing…” truly, I was afraid of what my parents would say.
“It doesn’t matter, we can teach each other, and learn from each other,” James was all for adventure. I leaned in to kiss him when suddenly his eyes rolled up into his head, the Starbucks lights started to flicker, everything felt as cold as ice, I was scared, no, terrified.
Then James started to speak in a kind of way Seers do in books when there telling a prophecy or something: “LEAVE ALY, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE HERE WHEN THE DARK LORD COMES HE WILL TRY TO KILL YOU, YOU HAVE THE BLOOD HE NEEDS, THE BLOOD IN YOUR VEINS, YOU MUST RUN NOW! YOU MAY LIVE IF YOU LEAVE ME TO BE HIS SLAVE FOREVER AND NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN.”
“NO! I’m not going to leave you here for this dark lord guy come on!” I tried pulling his arm, but he wouldn’t budge. Then a red mist started swirling in the middle of the café, I held on to James, I didn’t want to let him go, “Stupid girl, you should not have done that, you have no where to run!” this guys voice was raspy.
Then suddenly James left his trance and came back, he shouted, “Leave her alone!” after that all I can remember is that I fell unconscious and I woke up in the hospital, I asked where James was, and I got the most horrible news. My gut pulled me back out of my phone.
Then a voice said, “Aly, run, he’s coming again, and I’m not here to protect you… Run…” it was like James’s voice.
A red mist swirled I saw a knife, a light, and blacked out. I’m dead, but with James forever more.

Then suddenly James left his trance and came back, he shouted, “Leave her alone!” after that all I can remember is that I fell unconscious and I woke up in the hospital, I asked where James was, and I got the most horrible news. My gut pulled me back out of my phone.
Then a voice said, “Aly, run, he’s coming again, and I’m not here to protect you… Run…” it was like James’s voice.
A red mist swirled I saw a knife, a light, and blacked out. I’m dead, but with James forever more.

My Clover
As I walk outside,
I see my breath in the frosty air.
As I go up a hill,
A minty lime color catches my eye.
I stop and kneel down and take a closer look,
It's a four leaf clover.
My favriote kind,
The wind is blowing my hair in my face.
I finish walking to skool,
When I'm walking home my clover is gone.
While i finish my walk home I see a little girl holding
My clover out to me,
I told her to keep it.
She needs it more then me.
She looks up,
Thanks me,
Then walks away.
I did the right thing giving her that special clover,
It was hard to do,
But it made her happy.

Typing
Clack, clack, clack.
my fingers run across the keyboard,
they type rapidly.
my imagination keeps growing and growing,
more and more pages appear.
more lines.
more words.
more paragraphs.
appearing out of thin air..

That Should Be me
That should be me,
Standing right there,
Holding your hand,
Buying you gifts,
Making you laugh,
I am so sad,
This is so sad,
That should be me,
I can't go on,
Until you believe me,
That, that should be me,
Standing right there,
Helping you when your down,
And thats why I feel that, that should be me.

My Love & My Hate
When I look at you,
I see my life.
My love,
My hate.
But then you left,
And threw it all away.
You left me for her,
But does she love you like I loved you.
When she looks in your eye's the only thing she see's is her reflection.
When she left you,
You came back to me.
But all I said was,
"You left me, so why should I help you get back on your feet?"
I'm better now,
I've realized that your not the one for me.
And that he'll come in time
I see my life.
My love,
My hate.

My Love Is Lost
i had you,
then i lost you.
it took more than i had to ask you to go out with me,
but you destroyed it,
you destroyed my heart.
i don't want to hate you,
we wont end up in disaster.
but if we did,
i would help you back up in time.
i don't want you to leave me,
it will take me a while to repair.
but we can still be friends,
i hope...

I'm Right Here
life is just starting when you realize the tiny details,
if you just breeze through life without thought,
then you don't know whats going on around you.
you can miss a flower blooming right in front of you,
well right now,
i'm in front of you,
so see me.

A Different Me
is a breeze just a breeze?
sometimes it can carry change,
or a sweet scent.
for me, it carries the salty scent of sea.
my favorite thing.
I'm not any ordinary person,
neither are you,
if you can find what you love,
then you can find your path.

No Thoughts
I cant think.
I'm stuck in my own thoughts.
I'm swimming in my own troubles and i can't get out.
i wish I could though,
then I could tell everyone how I feel.
then I wouldn't feel so alone.
I wouldn't feel so stuck.

Keep Holding On
you should keep holding,
no matter what happens.
you keep holding on,
your friends are there to help when your stuck.
they're there to help you.
when your afraid,
sad,
scared,
trapped,
in need of help.
they're there for you.
so just keep holding on.

A Different Me
a different side of me is what you need to see,
you all know the day to day me.
but you haven't seen the many sides of me,
i wanna be a...
rock star,
a super hero,
a fashion designer,
a photo journalist,
ME!

Dancing Here With You
I want this to last forever,
These moments here with you,
And everyone else.
But the most impotrant thing is you,
I wanna make this one right.
I've messed up so many times,
This ones gotta be right.
Let's set the stage and let the reacords play,
Until Saturday,
Gotta make this one right.
We wont sleep until three in the morning,
And the song we hear is the real thing,
And it feels like were living the dream tonight,
Were gonna make this one right.
