Mortals Meet Demigods

6. Dorla Clements

<<Dorla Clements POV>>

The second my black boot touched the concrete I could sense people around me starting to stare. This was an everyday routine for me. I could already hear people whispering such cruel words. You'd think you'd get used to people calling you names such as

"Emo"

"Gothic Girl"

and

"Weird kid"

It's was a typical Novak Academy school thing. There were two different types of people you could be one of the popular kids or one of the weird kids. I was placed in the weird category, just because of the way I dressed and my type in music. I have always dreaded this school for the fact there were more popular kids then "weird" ones. It was as if you lived in a fish tank full of sharks and you were the only guppy. Every single shark snapping and waiting to get a taste of you.

"Hey emo, what are you listening to this time? " Fidel sneered as he tried to grab my earphones.

"Leave me alone Fiddle!" I demanded after quietly laughing at my nickname for the boy.

"Or else what Dora!" Fidel smirked.

I was outraged. I hated when Fidel and his stupid friends called me Dora, but then again I did call him Fiddle.

"Just leave the dam girl alone!" shouted a black haired boy dressed in all black and an aviator's jacket.

"Awe is this your little emo boyfriend Dorla?" Fidel smirked.

"What! No I don't even know the kid!" I angrily responded.

"Yeah okay whatever" Fiddle mumbled as he walked away with his stupid group of friends.

I turned around to face the boy. He was quite tall and me being short I had to look up at the boy with the Ramones shirt.

"Umm thanks for umm standing up for me." I stated.

"Actually that's not all I came for I need to tell you something very important, that requires you to trust me and follow me for your own saftey." The unnamed boy said.

"I-I just met you."

"That's why I need you to believe me! We don't have much time!!" The boy yelled.

"Fine! But please just let me know your name" I begged.

"Nico my name is Nico"

Oh okay at least I have the boys name! Suddenly some weird monster thing that looked like a gigantic black dog with blood red eyes came bouncing towards us.

"WHAT IS-" I couldn't finish my sentence as the boy grabbed my hand and pulled me into the shadows. Now saying that I was scared would be unbelievable however after being pulled through weird dark shadow stuff at a very fast pace I was terrified. To scare me even more me and the boy who now I know as Nico were brought to a stop at a place in the middle of the forest.

"Welcome to Camp Half Blood!" said a voice that came from behind me.

I turned around to face a half man half horse body. To be honest it wasn't the scariest thing that happened to me today.

"Ummm Camp... what now..?" I questioned a bit frightened to be talking to a half horse.

"Camp Half Blood. A safe place for demigods to live and train." Nico replied.

What the heck is a demigod? Why would I need to train? How the heck was there a giant dog about to attack me? Questions flew all around my mind until I finally decided to speak up and ask some people, but before I could I felt something glowing near me and I looked up to see many people staring at me.

"Daughter of Apollo. We welcome you to this camp!" stated the half man.
