Chapter Text
First things first, if you think your a half-blood . . . don't. Get the thought out of your head and don't think of it again. Being a half-blood is a sure fire way to get killed. Trust me when I say its not all fun and games.
Hi I'm Alectrona. I have been on the run from monsters on my own for 16 months and somehow I haven't died yet. The key word of that sentence being yet. Sadly today might be my unlucky day.
The day started like any other I went to a gas station to get some food with the small amount money I had gotten while on the street (it's surprising how many people will give money to a random child without calling 911 about an abandoned child).
That's when I saw it, the monster that would likely kill me, the Chimera.
I started running towards the woods I usually sleep in and of coarse it followed.
Once I was in the woods I saw someone out of the corner of my eye, they shot an arrow and the chimera turned to dust. I didn't stop to see who it was I just kept running, scared of who the person was and what they might do if they found me.
Obviously this wasn't my first monster attack and it definitely won't be my last but this was the scariest so far. If it weren't for that random stranger I would be dead. I mean the chimera represents the most dangerous beast that the human imagination can conjure. The chimera is a death sentence for demigods.
A little bit of a background on me. I have known the I am a demigod since I was ten, the day I started running. My mom left me a note when she died telling me about it, and although she didn't tell me who my godly parent is, she did tell me were camp is. The hard part is just trying to get to all the way from Ohio to Long Island without a map or a satyr guide.
Back to the story, there were no other monster attacks that day so when night fell I climbed a tree to sleep for the night, like I did every night.
(I got the idea from Hunger Games, and yes I know that it sounds stupid but it actually works. It's surprising how many people and monsters forget to look up.)
Anyways, soon I fell asleep and hoped that no one would try to attack me that night. I was also hoping that the stranger from the chimera attack earlier was long gone, and not looking for me. Even if they didn't want to hurt me, if they noticed who I was I would be in deep trouble.
But for now I went off to the land of Hypnos. Not seeing the person lurking in the shadows.
