Chapter Text
... Hey! Are you awake?
....She don't look so good..
Elise! Come here we need you! This camper is in bad condition we need you here, now!
Huh?
My eyesight gained focus and everything felt hazy. I look around me and feel 2 kids with light colored hair dragging me somewhere i didn't know where but I felt like it would be safe.
I looked to my right and saw a boy with a worried rushed face. He saw me look at him and he gave me a nice smile. He was wearing a orange shirt with some words on it with a flannel that had a nice shade of green over it. He said something but it was too quiet for me to hear, or it could've been the girl to my left who caught my attention.
She had that same look on her face as the boy did but with a little more concern. She had her curly hair tied back into a pony tail. She had a dozen freckles that rested on her face and her eyes were determined and gentle. She caught my gaze and I forgot all about the blood that was trailing behind our every steps.
"Don't worry Sweetness." She said calmly, "Were gonna get you help."
I felt my heart rush and my stomach get sick. It must be the blood that's leaving my body i thought, but I wasn't so sure myself.
My steps were getting heavier as the two people dragged me towards a house. As soon as we entered the front door I felt my eyes get heavy and my face hit the floor.
....
When i woke up i felt nauseous. I looked around to see that i was lying in a bed. It was a comfortable bed but it didn't feel like home. It was oddly quiet but when I looked out the window it seemed like the opposite of quiet.
Plenty of kids in shirts were running around having fun, I believe. Some were in..armor? No, that can't be? Is this what mom always talked about?.
"Oh God this isn't good."
"I think you mean Gods"
Before I could get a good look at who or what was talking to me. I started screaming and throwing pillows at this half horse dude man in front of me.
The horse dude is taken by surprised and yelps as he tries to doge the pillows being thrown at his face.
"Woah, woah, woah! What's going on in here? Chiron, I think it's best you leave so the new kid doesn't pass out again okay?"
I look over and I see that same girl again but her hair is now down resting at her shoulders and she's is holding a med kit. Her eyes still look determined but their darker than they were earlier. She looked nice.
The half horse dude looked a little disappointed but he left with no back talk.
The girl must've seen my face cause her face dropped into a little smile and eyes full of sympathy.
"Sorry about that miss, I knew that had to be scary seeing a centaur on your first day at Camp half blood."
Camp half...what? I looked directly at the girls shirt which had the same words on the shirt.
Camp half blood.
My head was spinning. First I woke up seeing a horse man and now im being told about some Camp for people with... I don't know, half blood?!
I turn my head towards the side, "i think im going to be sick"
"I have a trashcan if you need it!" The girl says worried.
"Sarcasm"
"Oh"
I turn to look at her. She looks tired but calm and clean at the same time. Her hair now was tucked behind her ears and her shirt was tucked into her baggy jeans with kid like drawn suns on them.
I normally would've laughed but my head was holding me down like a weight was dropped on me and I couldn't get up.
"Sooo how you doing?"
"Whats your name?"
The girl smiled, "skipping to the important stuff eh? It's Elise, Elise Archley. What about you? What's your name?"
I would've responded but my mouth couldn't open, all I could hear was the same words repeating in my head, rest.
I closed my eyes shut and Elise got the message.
"Well you seem tired so get some shut eye, but you owe me a name later okay?"
A few nonverbal words came out my mouth before I started to doze off.
The last thing I remember feeling was a blanket covering over me and the fast pace of my heart.
Oh me..
