Got it. Got it.
THANK YOU FOR FEEDBACK. Now this chapter will be longer.
Chapter 3:
My Dad....was in a camp...called Camp Halfblood. But what is up with Apollo? "This is just...weird..." I muttered, then looked outside with a sigh.
Suddenly, the windows opened, wind blasting from outside into my room. My hair whipped my face as papers flew everywhere. I held tight to the journal and quickly got off my bed. I screamed, trying to close the windows. "DAD!" I screamed, my eyes closed tightly. Where did this wind come from? I forced my eyes to open. There was nothing outside, except for wind. ..I could see the wind....or was it a tornado? Well I be darned. Were not in Kansas anymore. I thought to myself humorously.
But this was no time for laughs and funny. I dropped to the floor, the journal under me. I kept on screaming as the wind blew stronger. I kept my eyes closed so the dirt won't get in my eyes and make me blind. Just then, I could feel myself being lifted up from the floor. No...I don't want to die. I want to say sorry to my Dad. I want to hug him and tell him that I love him. The wind picked me up and threw me out the window, into the horrid tornado. Everything blacked out.
I was being drifted on clouds in the sky. The clouds moving rhythmically. I was sitting criss cross on the cloud, looking up at some woman. She had long brown hair, and bright blue eyes. Just like me....
"Arden..." She whispered, her voice soft and kind. Was she my mother? How did she know my name? I couldn't talk. I tried to move my mouth, but nothing came out.
"Arden...say something..." She whispered, gesturing for me to come to her.
I couldn't move..I couldn't do anything...this was a complete nightmare.
I opened my eyes and looked around me. I was lying down on a hill, the journal in my hands, my hair in a tattered mess. Oh my head.....I moaned and tried to stand up, but fell. Maybe I could just...sleep..and I'll be back home..in my bed....I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"Is she alive?" I heard a voice say, quivering. I didn't open my eyes. I was probably in hell. Thats right. I'm probably gonna be punished for my wrong doings.
"I think she is...shes breathing." Another voice said. The voice was deep though. Must be a man...or a woman who has a really manly voice.
"Oh thank the gods." The other voice said with a sigh of relief. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a boy, about 12 years old, and a man, who looked like...50 or something. He was in a wheelchair. I blinked. "Where am I?" I asked, hoarsley.
The boy looked at the man with a nervous look, but the man just nodded. "Are you okay?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes. "If I could talk, I'm fine. Now where am I?" A sharp pain filled my head. I moaned and held my head.
"I'll get some ambrosia.." The boy said, and hurriedly left.
I watched him go, then looked at the man. "Look..I just want to go home.." I said, holding my head. The man chuckled. "I'm Chiron. Welcome to Camp Halfblood."
I must be dreaming...is this the camp my Dad said in his journal? I shook my head. No...it can't be..."...Uh huh.." I said in shock. Chiron raised an eyebrow. "Has the satyr told you about yourself?"
What the hec-a satyr? Who..or what is that? "..Um...no...who am I?" That sounded dumb.
Chiron stayed silent for a minute, then blinked a couple of times. "Oh gods..."
Oh great...what did I do now? O.o
The boy came back with some ambrosia and handed it to me. I started to grab it, but then Chiron interrupted. "Don't take that...you'll die." He said sternly. I looked at the boy and glared at him. "Are you trying to kill me!?"
The boy flinched and took a step back. "N-No! I was trying to help...I-I'm...I'm trying to help..." He looked at Chiron. "Why can't she take it?"
Chiron stared at me like I was some killer on the loose or something. "Shes a mortal. I don't even know how she got here..."
