When Worlds Collide

Into The Void Part 3

Before I can describe myself to you I need you to believe in the impossible. Because I’m the impossible or so some people would think. I'm what people call a myth which I know is quite vague but I will explain. See my mother was a mortal woman. Her name was Rachel Kelley, she was a really kind and beautiful woman so much so that she caught the attention of a God. 

I know what you're thinking, what do you mean by gods plural? Well, my dad, his name is Poseidon, he's a greek god. Supposedly there was this curse that he couldn’t have any more mortal children.

Well, he broke that promise. Twice actually. I have an older brother kinda. His name is Percy Jackson although you most likely wouldn’t know him. He and I have the same dad, not the same mother although I love his mother like my own. He has always taken care of me. He's also very very protective. I can’t do anything sometimes. I’m single because of him. Any boy that I have been interested in, Percy, ends up getting scared off. It's so annoying at times.

During the summer I go to this camp called camp half-blood. You couldn’t find it even if you tried. I’m fifteen years old now, two years younger than Percy. My dad’s never really been a real part of my life. He shows up around my birthday and that's it. I know that Percy's dad’s favorite because of everything that he did. But I can do everything he can do and more. 

I'm a really good sword fighter. Percy made me one. We would fight every day during the summer. I also have dyslexia and ADHD. Most demi-gods have this because we were trained to fight and to read ancient Greek. Then suddenly Percy went missing for a couple of months. Those were the worst of my life as well as Annabeth, his girlfriend. I slept at Sally’s house a lot during that time.

When they found him he was at this other camp I don’t really know the name. Then instead of coming back, he went on yet another quest to save the world from this angry goddess Gaea. When he came back he decided to focus on school so that he could go to college with his girlfriend. I haven't seen much of him since then. But now that you know about me let me tell you about today how it all started.

I woke up before my alarm went off and just stared at the ceiling. I was thinking about how abandoned I felt at camp. I didn’t have many friends at camp. My friends were Nico and Will if I’m being perfectly honest. I know right they are complete opposites but we made it work. But then when they started dating I was being left out of things and felt more like a burden or a third wheel rather than we would hang out before. But camps over now why am I still thinking about this.

I pulled aside my covers and hopped out of bed turning off my alarm clock before it even went off. I then walked over to the mirror and started brushing my golden blond hair. Instead of looking like my dad or Percy, I look just like my mom. I had her hair and eyes, but I had my dad’s face shape and nose. I had piercing blue eyes that couldn’t decide between grey and blue. 

I quickly slipped on a crop top sweatshirt with some black leggings then put on my running shoes. I liked to go running early in the morning before anyone else was awake. It helps me process my thoughts and cope with everything. Before I left my room I slipt on my bracelet that could turn into a sword. It’s kind of like Percy’s just more fashionable. I walk into the kitchen and quietly grab an apple and walk out the front door into the chill of the fall season. Careful not to wake mom up. 

I finish my apple and throw it away then start running. I’m trying to run away from all my issues. I run so fast that I don’t think about my issues. I don’t think about how Percy’s leaving me again or that I’m alone again in my life. I just keep pushing harder going faster and faster. I don’t notice when I reach my destination.

I stop at the elementary school across the city from my house. I sit down on one of the cold swings panting. As I started to swing I could see my breath. My blond hair was a little everywhere. But I didn’t care, it wasn’t like anyone was there anyway. I shivered a little bit because of the cold. But kept swinging.

 As I was swinging I saw something running towards me. I jumped off my swing and grabbed my bracelet turning it into my sword ελευθερία which means freedom. I held it out in front of me trying to see what it was. When all of a sudden the thing came to a sudden stop. I walked up to it because me being me was curious and I don’t care for my well being. When I got close enough to see if I saw it was Chiron. 

Chiron is the director at camp half-blood. I was actually quite surprised to see him. He never comes to me with issues. He goes to Percy because he is the golden boy. Everyone's favorite hero every time.

“Chiron, what are you doing here, you freaked me out,” I said putting my sword away.

“Hurry child there is danger and you are needed at Olympas orders directly from your father” He replied while bending down so that I could get on to his back.

I hopped onto his back and Chiron ran so fast I couldn’t see the street as we were passing. We ran for maybe a good five minutes when he came to a sudden halt. I looked up to see the Empire State Building. When I turned around I saw a horde of monsters behind us.

"We’re out of time" I heard Chiron mutter

"Get to Olympias you will be safe there I'm going to try and hold them back," Chiron told me 

"I'm not leaving you here you're coming with me" I responded back jumping off his back and revealing my sword.

"There is no time please just go" he yelled at me pulling his bow

I ran into the building and to the front desk. There was the man who was always there getting ready to leave.

"Hey wait! I need to get up to the sixth hundred floors now!" I yelled at him and he quickly escorted me to the elevator. 

The elevator started going up and up. Around the fiftyish floor, the elevator stopped. Oh, no has this ever happened before! Did I break it? I pushed the call 911 button with no response. 

As I was trying to call 911 all of a sudden a purplish thing started opening up in the elevator! I reached my hand toward it. Then all of a sudden my body got sucked up into the purplish thing. Then everything went dark.

When I woke I was sitting on a beach surrounded by three passed out girls. Where am I? I stood up and walked over to the ocean trying to heal the cuts that I had gotten from running. When I once again passed out in the water.
