I'm A Daughter Of The Big Three, Can This Get Any Worse? (Chapter 1)

 Grace's POV: 

"Frannie?" I shouted. "Where are you?" My friend had practically vanished in the bookshop's storage room. Why would she want to go there? I opened the creaky door and cautiously walked inside. My footsteps echoed and she coughed. It was very dusty. What had become of Frannie?

I heard something hiss and whipped around. My heart skipped a beat as I faced a huge monster with seven heads. A hydra. It was blocking the doorway. I screamed but it came out as a squeak. I was doomed. What was I going to do? Had it eaten Frannie?

Suddenly the door crashed open. I saw the flashing of a bronze sword. The hydra was distracted for a moment, and I made a run for it. The hydra spat in fury as it saw me but it was too distracted by the sword. I hurried home, afraid to do anything.

Before I could stop myself, I found myself pouring the story to my mom. She didn't look shocked; in fact, she looked like she'd been expecting this for a long time.

"Sweetie, I gotta take you somewhere, okay?" she said. I nodded weakly, and went to sleep. She told me I had to go early, "before something happens".

***The Next Day***

"Grace?" my mom said, shaking me. "We have to go. Just pack clothes and you can take your make up. You have to hurry, though." I nodded again, and fulfilled my duties, quickly.

I got in my mom's car. I might have dozed off for most of the ride, because when I woke up I was in completely somewhere else. My mom told me I would meet others beyond that pine tree, and sure enough, I could see moving shapes. I said goodbye and hurried.

Suddenly, I heard a heavy crunch of a twig. My blood ran cold as I whipped around and saw a hellhound. I ran as fast as I could, with it chasing me. Suddenly, as I ran beyond the pine tree, it struggled but couldn't come in. I prayed that my mother had gone home safely. I couldn't see her car anymore.

A man with a horse's body came up to me. "Ahh, Grace. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. I am Chiron, the camp director."
