Chapter 4
Renata's Point Of View:
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
What you see above is me freaking out.
Like oh my God!
A bull with a man's head, supposedly a Vrakos, which exists only in Thassia myths, just invaded Paula's party and Asher had to tell me it was here for me.
Like what the fudge?
(I don't swear)
I forced my legs to run faster and further and finally I reached my familiar street.
I quickly ran to our house and rapidly rang the bell.
The door was opened by my sister (ugh) Ruby.
"What the hell?" she said.
I pushed past her and heard her yell,"Hey!"
"Mom!" I said quickly running into the living room.
I saw her sitting on the sofa with Zion.
"MOM!" I yelled again.
She was startled to see me in this state and instantly knew something was wrong.
I could tell by her expression.
"Sweetie!
What's wrong?" she asked gently while Zion got up to get me a glass of water as I was finding it difficult to breath.
"The bull!
And Paula and Felix and Asher!
And there was this big crash!
And packing bags..." I continued to ramble.
"Honey!
I need you to slow down a bit!
Okay?" My mother said.
I nodded.
"Now, I want you to slowly repeat what you were exactly saying."
"I was at the party and Felix and Asher had gone to get punch and then they disappeared and about 30 minutes later they hauled me up and dragged me to the pool area where I found a Vrakos who was holding Paula in the air and they told me to run home because the Vrakos was here for me, and then I ran as fast as I could and they also told me to ask what it was doing here..." I trailed off after the big explanation.
My mother sighed and ran her hand through her hair.
"I think it's time we tell her!" Zion said as he had entered just a few minutes ago during my speech.
Tell me what?
"That your a demigod!" Zion said.
Guess I must have spoken my thoughts.
Wait a second!
I'm a what?
!
"What?
!" I said.
"Sweetheart, you're a demigod!
Your father left because he was a Thassia God and since you were born, you were born a demigod!
We were supposed to send you to a camp called Camp Crossborn when you were twelve, that's the time when you should have been claimed but then there was no threat to you, so we kept you here," my mother finished waiting for my reaction.
"Woah..." I said.
This is a lot to take in. A lot.
"Honey, now that the Vrakos attacked, it means you're no longer safe here!
You have to leave and join camp,"
"But what about school?" I asked.
"You school's ending on Monday!
I'll write an application..." that was all that was said until my mother dragged me to my room so that I could start packing.

Next Morning:
The next morning was a total blur.
I had gone straight to sleep after packing and had received a message from Asher saying that they were taking me to camp the next day.
I woke and took a quick shower and put on a "Static Vibe" t-shirt, black skinny jeans and my black hi-tops.
I had packed my clothes, guitar (yes, I play), my song book and my shoes and other necessities.
I had my backpack filled with some good books, my iPod and headphones (my mother did not know I was sneaking those in) and my phone.
It was about 11:30 when Felix and Asher appeared at my door.
My mother greeted them and asked them to take care of me.
"Hey guys!" I greeted them.
They nodded.
I picked up my bags and walked out to see... holy sh*t!
"AHHHHHHH!
!" I ran back inside dropping my bags.
"What's wrong?
!" Felix asked hurrying in.
"Huge dog... outside..." I said taking in deep breaths.
Felix shook his head slightly.

Felix's Point Of View:
"That's Mrs. Francis!
Our dog!
Well, basically Kaiden's dog," I replied to Renata as she shook.
"That's your dog?" she asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it is," I said.
She shrugged and slowly made her way to Mrs. Francis.
This is going to take some time...
Renata's Point Of View:
"Felix Thorne I am so not climbing that thing!" I shouted at the black headed boy who was trying to coax me into climbing that huge dog.
"Come on!
Its perfectly alright!
Mrs. Francis is safe and she won't hurt you!
Unless, Kaiden says so!" Felix says watching me amusingly as I whimper when THAT DOG tried to lick me.
"No!
I will not climb it!
NEVER!" I said and folded my arms across my chest.
Asher came out with my bags and settled them on the dogs back.
"Felix, why don't you just shadow travel with her?
If she doesn't want to go with Mrs. Francis, I'll take her and you take Renata," Asher finishes looking at the both of us.
"But..." Felix trails off.
Asher glFalcon at him and Felix shuts up.
"Fine!
Come on!" Felix says finally and grabs my hand while taking me to the yard.
He turns me around and suddenly I feel his arms wrap around my waist.
I immediately start blushing while Asher winks at me.
I hear Felix say,"Hold tight!" before I feel my self being pulled as if my face were about to fall off.
I hold Felix's arms tightly when I feel the rush stop.
I had closed my eyes in the process and when I open them I see two boys, one or two years older than me standing in front of me.
One had jet black hair and ocean blue and green eyes.
They were beautiful, the kind of eyes you could get lost in. And the other had curly, unruly hair and eyes that looked like they were up to mischief.
He was smirking.
For a minute the boys were quiet when Curly whistled.
"Felix!
Didn't know you had a girlfriend?" he said smiling.
Green eyes looked amused.
I heated up at his words and then I realized that Felix was still holding me.
I guess he realized too because he immediately let go.
"She's not my girlfriend Spencer," Felix said glaring at Curly.
"I have a first name Thorne, it's Rocky," Curly aka Rocky said still smiling.
"You should try calling me that instead of idiot, stupid-"
Felix was about to reply when suddenly THE DOG appeared and knocked Asher off of it.
Blue eyes laughed and Rocky shook his head grinning.
"Thanks Felix!
For leaving without me!" Asher said brushing himself off.
Suddenly a girl about my age, ran up to us.
"Welcome to Camp Crossborn!
I bet these lunatics didn't tell you anything, but this is where you'll be living from now on.
My name is Luella, Daughter of Aethel and Bradley sent me to check on you!" Luella finished.
