Charlotte's POV:
I had written a letter to Chiron,the activities director at Camp Half-Blood,asking permission to interview the demigods after the war with Gaia. Yes,I knew a world where The Greek and the Roman gods,demigods(the offsprings who had a Greek or Roman God or a goddess as one of his or her parent and a mortal,a human being for the other)existed,a world where you are always threatened by monsters and are never safe. How do I know this?Well,here's my story:
Since childhood,I had often thought as if there was something strange around me,often saw figures lurking even in daylight,like a shadow or a presence of something unexplainable, but I had never seen an actual monster until I was 11,in a mall.
When I first saw her,I felt nothing strange about her. She looked like an ordinary woman from the waist up,but when I glanced down at her legs,panic crept up my spine. She had the body of a hideous dragon like creature and seemed to be chasing two boys,one with hair as black as night while the other was Blonde. As the creature closed up on them the boy with the blonde hair unsheathed a sword and neatly sliced the monster in half. The monster disintegrated, and my eyes became as wide as saucers. The boys would have seen my mouth hanging open and as they came to me,I struggled with my words and said"You...the woman...like a dragon...that sword..."
The black-haired boy asked"Wait,you could see her?"
I nodded.
"We have to take her to Camp."said the boy with blond hair.
"What Camp?"I asked.
"We'll tell you all about it when we reach there." said the dark haired boy.
"And my parents?What are you going to tell them?"I asked.(I had told my parents about all the things that I could sense,shadows and all,but they thought I was going nuts and making things up and they even tried to take me to a therapist.)
"They will be informed."said the boy with the blonde hair.
And they were.After I reached camp I got a letter from my mom,stating that she had been informed about where I had been taken and said that it was hard to believe,but she and my dad will try.And me?Well when I reached camp I learned the dark haired boy was called Nico and the one with blonde hair was called Will.
When I reached Camp Half Blood,I learned that it was the only place where demigods were safe.Well mostly safe,anyway.You can never say you are safe when you are a demigod.I learned that I was not a half blood(demigod),but a human who could not only see through the mist,but also feel the presence of monsters around me.Cool.As I was roaming through the camp(because Chiron had told me to stay here for a day or two),I saw a blonde girl and a black haired boy(No,not Nico)and could tell that they were about 14 and best friends.Don't ask me how,I just did.(Little did I know that they were going to be my OTP later)I asked Will about them and he told me their adventures about how they met,went on their first quest and retrieved Zeus's lightning bolt,their quest in the Sea of Monsters and then their recent quest.It was magical.Later they showed me the camp and with Percy cracking jokes all the time and making Annabeth and me smirk and laugh,my wonderful first day came to an end.
You would ask me:Weren't you scared or atleast confused?
Of course I was.But I had found a new family,although not complete and my surrounding not all safe,and I was proud of it.
