Chapter 7 Questions

No matter how much we pulled Ms. Jackson, the camp would not let her enter. "This is as far as I could go. I cant go through." Sally said to her son who was trying his hardest to pull her in. "I'm not like you!"

"I'm not leaving without you!" Percy was still trying to pull her in. "You have to! Your meant to!" Sallie pulled her hand away from her son. As soon as she did, a giant hand wrapped itself on Sally's body and lifted her up. "Put my mother down!!" Percy said as he got closer to the minotaur. "Use the pen!" Said Grover. What the hell is the pen going to do? "Use Mr. Bruners pen and click it!"

Percy followed Grovers instructions and clicked the pen, and as soon as he did a sword manifested itself. That's cool, wish I had one. It was too late though since Sally was quickly evaporated, or more like transported since it did not look like she died. Percy saw this and ran to the minotaur and started to swing his sword. He dodged and rolled out of heavy strikes from the minotaur.

The minotaur swung his arm hitting Percy and slamming him onto a tree. It started to charge at Percy with its horns. I sprint toward Percy and make it just in time before he was going to get hit. I grab the minotaur by the horns and push him back, then slammed his head onto the ground. Percy looked up from the ground and saw me wrestling with the minotaur, and was shocked. Grover was shocked beyond belief too since his mouth was hanging open.

I jump onto the Minotaurs back and use his horns to pull his head back and move him. The Minotaur was trying its best to get me off his back but I ducked under each arm that tried to grab me. "Percy! Throw me the sword!" I yell at Percy who goes and grabs the sword that he dropped. He grabs the sword and throws it at me. I look at the sword that was twirling in the air and jump up and grab it by the hilt. I then flip the sword so that its aiming to the ground and stab it into the minotaurs head. I was now hanging onto the sword that was lodged into the minotaurs head. The minotaur looked like it grew another horn in the middle of its head. I push my body back to drag the minotaurs body down with me, and when the body was about to hit the floor I somersault off of its body and landed on my feet.

Woah, that was pretty bad ass. Wonder if I got that from my father. I turned around and saw that Percy and Grover were just staring at me with their mouths almost touching the floor. I go to the minotaur and pull out the sword that was in its skull. It was covered in blood all the way to the hilt. I walk to Percy and hand him the sword, and he grabs it while not looking away from me. Percy then passed out and dropped the sword, probably from almost dying to a monster and losing his mother.

Grover catches Percy before he falls and looks at me. "We need to talk. But first help me with Percy." I help Grover carry Percy by the legs while he took the arms. We took him to a wooden building that had white sheets for wall, as well as lots of beds that were set up in rows and kids with bandages layed. "I'm guessing this is the hispital?" Grover laughs. "You can say that. Here set him down in this bed, let's let him rest for now." We put Percy in an empty bed and tell the Nurses working the night shift what happened. They said that he will need some rest and he should wake up in a few days. "Now. Me and you need to talk." Grover said as he started to walk toward the lake.

He lead me to the shore of the lake where a creature seemed to be waiting for us. He was half a man and half a horse, a Centaur. "Woah is that Mr. Bruner?!" I asked Grover after seeing the face of the man clearly. He laughs and nods, but does not say anything. Mr. Bruner seems to know that we were here as he turned around and walked toward us. "It seems like you have some secrets to you Mr. Amarie." I could say the same to you. "You can call me Lucian."

"Very well. Now, care to explain to me how you were able to enter this camp?" He asks. Isn't it obvious already old man? But it's better to play dumb. "I dont know?" Mr. Bruner stared at me for a while untill he looked at Grover. "He killed a minotaur." He told him. Mr. Bruner also put on a surprised face after hearing the information. "And how did you know how to fight?" I shrug my shoulders. "Instinct. It felt like a natural thing to do." Well I wasn't lying, it really did feel like my body was moving on its own.

"Do you know who your parents are?" He continued with his questioning. "I never met my father or mother. I was adopted." That is also not a lie, but it's also not the truth either. I'm sorry but if I told you who my mother and especially my father was, then I dont know what you guys might do. You might even turn me in to Zues, so I'm not taking any chances.

Mr. Bruner seemed to soften after I told him this. "It seems Lucian my boy, that you are a Demigod. Only demigods are allowed to enter the camp, and since you were able to then that explains it all. Demigods also do not know their parents, like yourself. We welcome you here with open arms, we will also have to figure out who your parents are."

"Is that really necessary?" I asked him. He looked at me surprised. "Dont you want to know who your parents are?" I know who they are, I just dont want you guys to know. "Not really, no. They may have given birth to me, but they are not my parents. I know that sounds insensitive because they may love me with all of their hearts, but they were not there for me for my fist birthday or for my first word. My adoptive mother was, so to me she is my parent."

Mr. Bruner nodded in understanding. "Although it's rare, we do sometimes get children who have no idea who their parents are. You should know this Lucian, the camp has a sort of social standing based off of what parents you have. The more powerful of a god you parent is, the more respect you have in the camp. I wish it was not like that, but it sort of developed that way throughout the children."

"So does that mean I wont be getting any respect because I don't know who my parents are?" Oh well I dont really care. If someone choses to fuck with me then I'll just fuck with them back. "I'm afraid so." He said in a solemn tone. It was quiet for a moment untill I broke the silence. "I don't really care. So where am I going to sleep?" I decided to change the subject to where I will be staying.

"For now you will have to sleep in the hospital Wing untill we find a place for you to stay. It will most likely be in the Hermes Cabin." Mr bruner turned to Grover. Grover nodded and took me back to the hospital. I put my bag on an empty bed next to where Percy was sleeping and sit down.

"So what are we going to do now Grover? Wait for Percy to wake up?" Grover looks at me and laughs. "No, you will be starting combat training tomorrow. We do a bunch of activities to train demigods into becoming heroes. 3 days from now we will be having a mock battle which is basically capture the flag." Grover explained some more as to what we were doing tomorrow. Basically tomorrow is going to be Work out, combat, work out, combat. I couldn't help but feel excited as I fell asleep.
