Chapter 1- My Mother Pays Me a Visit- Jessica's POV
I heard a rustle behind me. Then on the left, then right. Was it the Hermes kids playing a prank. No, it couldn't be. The rustles sounded much heavier than those skinny twigs. No, something was watching me. I could sense something. Then all of a sudden a huge black dog burst out from the trees in front of me. I quick rolled to the side. But another dog lunged at me from that side. He landed on me and scatched my arm really hard. I looked and blood was everywhere.

Then a burning light came from the side of me. The huge dogs ran away and I tried to get up, but I couldn't I couldn't move and I could barely breath. It didn't help that there was this blinding light. Then the light turned off and a person walked up to me. I couldn't see who it was at first because my vision was blurry but when the person came closer, I realized that it was Logan, counsellor for the Apollo cabin. He bent over me and sang a song. I couldn't make out the words, but I think he was saying a prayer to his father to heal me. Then my vision went black.

I awoke in the infirmary. Campers and satyrs were scuttling around like bee's in their hive. I noticed my boyfriend Mitchall sitting on the bed next to mine. "Mitchall," I said weakly. "Oh, my gods, Jessica, I though you were dead! I mean your pretty lucky Alex showed up when the hellhounds attacked." "Hellhounds?" I asked questionitly because monsters were not supposed to be inside the camp boundaries. "Yes. Two of them! They ambushed you!" "Can I leave?" "Yeah. Want me to take you to the Hermes Cabin?" Mitchall asked. "No. I can go myself."

My name is Jessica Lorz. I am a demigod, that means that I'm half human and half god, greek god to be exact. I don't know who my godly parent is because he or she hasn't claimed me yet. I stay in the Hermes Cabin because that's where all campers who haven't been claimed sleep. I don't have any magical powers except ADHD and Dyslexia. I don't really understand how those are powers but Chiron says they are.

When I finally get to the Hermes Cabin, I don't really want to go in. All there is in there is thieves and pranksters. So I decide to take a walk down to the lake. When I get there I sit on the beach and look at the water. A few Poseidon kids are having races to see who is a faster swimmer.

Then hear someone in the forest to my left say pst. I look over and I see a lady holding a torch motioning me over to her. I am hesitant at first, but I have my knife with me so I walk over. The lady has black hair that is waist length. She has a torch in each hand and has a few black dogs behind her. I didn't exactly know who she was but I felt drawn to her.

"Jessica, do you know who I am?" the lady asked. "Yeah," I said just as I figured it out,"your Hecate, goddess of magic, witchcraft, and crossroads." "Yes. Very good. I am also your mother." When she said that I went into shock, well not literally but I was happy and angry at the same time. How come she didn't tell me earlier? I had to live with the Hermes kids. I could've been living with Angela and Bruce and all the other Hecate kids. " Now listen. I don't have much time."
