The Lust for Power Prologue-2/3

James P.O.V.

What was going on?

Yesterday I was just a kid, living in New York. Today, I'm a demigod. A demigod who giants like to eat for breakfast.

The two people who had saved me had explained. One of my parents was a god, while one was a human. Somehow, I was the result of their love. Ew. And I guess monsters like to kill me to.

But if I was half god, then why was I so weak? People made fun of me because I looked scrawny. They called me gay because my eyes were purple. I mean seriously, that makes no sense! So I had no friends, and I was bullied. It wasn't fair.

Whatever. I'll just accept it. Anyway, the two people, whose names were Kari and Josh, were taking me to a place called Camp Half-Blood. I guess it's where demigods were trained to fight monsters and stuff. I mean, I kind of need that. I was nearly eaten a couple of minutes ago...

It did take a while for them to tell me everything and make me believe them, but in the end I did. Being chased by a monster really seems to put things into perspective.

Right now, we were in a taxi, heading to Long Island. I started to fall asleep, because the drive was so boring.

For a second, I thought I saw a dark figure looking at me through the window, but then it disappeared.

Suddenly I started to have a muscle spasm. The pain was excruciating, and I felt as if something was reaching into my soul, slowly... painfully...

Embrace me, A voice in my head whispered. I tried to struggle, but to no avail.

Then I took a deep gasp for breath, and slumped to the side, unconscious. The last thing I saw was Josh and Kari staring into my eyes with fear.
