Back Beyond the Woods (Wiki Contest: March 2013)

This story was written for Percy Jackson Fanfiction Wiki Contest: March 2013 by HunterofArtemis12. Second attempt!

Beginning
Back beyond the woods, where no one goes.

Back beyond the woods, heavily wind blows

Trees bending, legs shaking, in humane howling

Enter the world of misty thought

Behind the wall, centuries of battles all been fought

Dwells a girl back beyond the woods, by the name of A.J Bowing.

Chapter One: Unspeakable
I couldn't tell anyone what I'd seen. I dashed out if the woods, sprinting. I had to get away. If anyone knew- no. No one could know.

I hurdled a bush and dodged a tree, but my foot caught hold of a root. Crash! Down I went. My body impacted against the hard forest floor and groaning I sat up.

I glanced around, inspected my ankle and took off again. A million thoughts crossed through my mind, threatening to being me to the verge if insanity.

I made my way back towards Camp. As I raced past the Forges of Cabin 9, I slammed into one of Hephaestus' children.

"Watch it!" They shouted after me. I shouldn't have stopped, but I did.

"Sorry." I glanced behind me nervously.

"Kassidy, what is it now? Did you go into the woods again?"

I didn't answer. I considered running again.

"Was it a monster?" Hephaestus' child pressed.

I could tell the truth about that. I breathed a sigh of relief. "No, it's fine. No monsters." I promised.

I excused myself and tried to casually hog back to my cabin. I spread out my maps, and battle plans. For months, us children of Athena had been planning war in whatever was in the forest behind the Camp. It was tearing trees down, lighting fire and stealing through the camp.

I out my head in my hands and stared at the plans again. They would never work. This was no monster. It was a girl, living behind the Camp.
