The Monster of North Lake: Chapter 1

I slept soundly in the car until we hit the pot hole in the road. Since I wasn't wearing my seat belt I was sent flying into the cieling of my mom's SUV. My head hit with a definate THUD!

"Ow!" I yelled rubbing my head. "Easy mom we'll get there. The camps got gonna get washed away."

My mom stiffled a laugh. "I'm only going 20! Next time put your seat belt on!" She said.

I continued to rub my head while I looked out the window. We had reached North Lake and were currently on the road to camp. The road is privately owned by different people so it's in pretty rough shape you couldn't drive 15 feet without hitting a speed bump. I looked out over the lake and saw the water was calm and the sky was clear. There were about 30 camps on the lake but most of them were on the right side of the lake towards the front of the lake.

We finally arrived at our camp it was a two stories, with three bedrooms and a screened-in porch out back for when the bugs got real bad. There was a large yard that seperated the camp from the lake. One half of the yard had a lush green lawn with a large hemlock tree in the middle. Next to the water we had hung three hammocks from four other hemlock trees and built a fire pit in the middle. I had hung one hammock about 30 feet in the air because being a son of Zeus I liked being close to the sky.

We unloaded the car and started putting stuff away. The camp had been built back in the eighty's and was supposed to be a house. The walls were bleached wood and the floor was carpeted. When you walk in the front door you were in the kitchen then it opened into the living room where we had put a big couch in front of the fire place. The master bedroom was conected to the living room and the first floor bathroom. The screened in porch was connected to the living room via two slidding glass doors.

Upstairs was a balchoney over looking the living room and there were two bedrooms connected by a bathroom. I threw my duffel bag on my bed and put on a muscle shirt and a pair of swim trunks. I walked outside and jumped in my hammock. Yes I jumped thirty feet. Being the son of the sky god I could fly for hours and just for fun I liked to race anything in the area.

I layed back and whistled. Angel should've been here by now and I was getting worried. Angel is my cat, a gift from my dad. She has the ability to transform into any animal smaller than a bear and can communicate with me telepathicaly. A bald eagle soared overhead then landed on a branch next to me. It then transformed into a sleek gray cat with lightning markings and curled up on my stomach.

"So what took you so long?" I asked.

"Oh you know." She said before she fell asleep.

I shrugged my shoulders and followed suit.
