I wish I’d never turned out the lights that night. Cause then mom wouldn’t be dead and dad would be here.

“Mama…” I sobbed.

I knew what I needed to do, I was in danger, and my parents never wanted me to be. I stopped crying as hard- I was still crying- even if I wanted to break down, I needed to get it together to find dad and get to safety that's what mom would want. I wanted to crawl up beside her, and it all be a dream as I wake up in her arms. But I knew it was real. I also had a horrid gut feeling. I gave mom one final hug, and kiss on her forehead, and smiled.

I got outta dad’s open car door, I needed to find him, even if I was scared but first I got the emergency bag they’d packed for me first and then the bag they let me pack. I put my backpack on my back and the emergency bag was like a duffle bag, but it had long straps so I slung it over my shoulder. Then I started looking and shouting.

“Dad!” I yelled. I wanted him to hold me… to comfort me… to tell me that mom was alright. “Dad! Where are you?” I yelled again.

Where was he?

I walked around trying to find him… and I did… I’d hoped I’d find him alive. I did. But… just as I began to smile he was stabbed through the head with something. His head was completely destroyed, some of his brain matter and blood had even splattered onto my face. I wanted to scream and cry, but  I looked at who fired it, and it was a man. He looked scary, and his face twisted with an evil looking smirk. I didn't have time to stare- even if I wanted to and get a few more details, I needed to run. So I did, and I followed the sound of a car having passed the road! I could follow it to the camp and I’m pretty sure he was a monster so it wouldn’t be able to make it past the magic border of camp half-blood. I ran so fucking fast, I didn’t look back either. I just ran. I felt so scared though, his eyes looked scary. He was scary. I just needed to run. I had no clue when I’d passed the magic border but I ended up finally running into the Cabin area. I was so tired, and my legs felt numb and jelly like. The campers around me just looked at me with a look of confusion, and the smell seemed to finally be understood by my brain, the smell of pine, and I could also smell the gasoline left on me from the crash.

I wanted to just collapse from exhaustion right there but I couldn’t. I just took a deep breath and ran to the big house. That's where Chiron should have been. I just followed my gut, running to where I thought he’d be. And I found him. I needed to catch my breath before I could talk even though I really really wanted to tell him as fast as possible.

“Um… who are you?” Mr. D. asked. He was beside Chiron. “I know who my campers are and who's not. And you are not one of them.”

“I have that same question.” Chiron turned to Mr. D. then back to me, “Are you… a Demi-God?”

I wanted to nod but then I paused. Technically I was a legacy right? Cause I wasn’t fully a demi-god. I had two half-god parents so wouldn’t I have less god than them? In the books someone like me is called a legacy, different from being called a demi-god. Or am I demi-god? This wasn’t really explained to me aside from the books and the definitions weren’t really clear.
