Kaya was there, staring and staring at me. I know she wanted something, she only showed herself to me when there was something important to be said but it was rare. Over the four years I've been demigod living a normal life, she's only shown herself thrice.

She usually just warns me of the dangers that there will be if I don't visit Camp Half Blood soon and I have decided I will go to this camp but only every summer. I'd be a senior next year so things should get busy and before I knew it I was regretting not coming to camp when I was younger.

They've always insisted that I go to camp, that I'll receive the training I deserve, and that my powers should harness there but no, my stubborn twelve year old ass decided to stay here.

I still did want to stay here, although having ADHD and Dyslexia made it pretty difficult to cope up with the classes, Gavin made sure I was still able to learn. So the brain that was wired to read Greek and some Latin, Gavin has translated every single textbook I had.

As each year passed, I found it harder to leave my brother who's been working his ass off for me, saying that this was the job my father had left him and it was the very least he could do.

"Treya! Heads up!" I swerve my head towards the voice, and before I knew it my face met its demise as the ball crashed on my face.

I stumbled back, feeling myself get lightheaded as I hear screams of the players and I found myself on the ground, clutching my bleeding nose and my aching head.

My eyesight was getting worse, I felt myself falling in the black hole when I felt a hand pull my shoulder back.

I groaned at the sudden movement, and then I felt myself being lifted up and then I was a goner.

The ball did hit me pretty hard.

-

I blinked once. twice. and I realized I was in the infirmary, tucked in the plain white sheets.

I sat up straight the moment I got my consciousness back, I felt my head aching as I felt myself enter a vertigo wherein everything spins.

I stagger towards the stash where the nurse have always kept the medicines. I take one pill of a painkiller and as I was about to press it towards my lips, I heard a cough behind me.

I turned to see Kaya staring at me, I groaned and dropped the pill. "Kaya, what do you want?" I asked

"Before anything else, take this. It's ambrosia and works like a miracle for injured demigods" She hands me a pastry that looked like a caramel bar.

I stare at it and she beckons me to eat it. What if this was poisoned and this was all a trick?

She sighed, "Taking pills for mortals will take forever until your body will accept it and heal. You're aware that you're only half mortal. Stop trying so hard to become one of them"

I give her an irritated look and bring myself to take a bite of the square which tasted like my aunt's lemon squares that she baked every thanksgiving.

I felt a wave of energy course through me as my headache was now long gone.

Satisfied with herself, Kaya smirks and leans back before giving me another serious look.

I wait for her words of wisdom and her next words caught me offguard.

"You're weak"

I squint my eyes at her, taunting her to say more.

"Your supposed heightened senses and stamina have lowered immensely over time, your ADHD should have been its backing track but I guess you are getting what you've always wanted. To be normal"

I scoff at her, I've played soccer almost my entire life, how could my stamina lower down?

As if she read my mind she says, "If you see a real demigod in action, that little sport thing you play is incomparable. They are swifter, smarter and stronger than you are. But this is what you want, am I right Treya?" She provoked, and I felt my blood pressure increase as she continued to do so.

"What do you really want Kaya? I know pissing me off isn't your ulterior motive. What is it?" I hissed, taking a step back.

For a moment, her hair have turned into flames, indicating that she didn't like my reply.

"The Dark Lady wants you in Camp Half Blood by the end of the week. She hates to see your powers depleting. Do so, or else we'll have to come for your dear brother"

I felt a rage of anger flash towards me but as much as I wanted to tackle Kaya down she was way stronger than I was. I was nothing but a sixteen year old striker who always escaped from her said fate.

"You wouldn't" I say, taking another step back.

She raised an eyebrow at me, "Oh, trust me, we would. If you think you're so stubborn, where do you think you got that trait from? Take this as a warning Treya, and don't make me come back to harm your brother"

She snaps her fingers and then she was gone.

If they want me in Camp Half Blood so much to the point that they'll threaten to hurt my brother then fine.

I give up. I'm gonna go to this stupid camp.

I think it would be a stupid idea to go against magic creatures and the goddess of magic after all. I'm stupid wbk but not too stupid, I have some actual sense in me.
