Of course, I let her in. I mean, my mom, back after 12 years? that made me miserable. And that made me angry.

The first words out of my mouth- "Your supposed to be dead!"

"Calm down child. There is much to learn." She then told me everything. I was not surprised to learn she was a goddess. However, I was surprised to find out there was more kids like me! Then, my mom told me to stay far, far away from them. I was like, Why did you tell me then. But I kept my mouth shut.

"There are scouting parties from Camp Half Blood in town. They know you are part god, but do not know which. It must stay that way until you are in your destination."

"And my destination is..." I prompted.

"Canada!" She smiled as if this were great news."Also, have you figured out which Greek goddess I am?"

My eyes fixed on the snow swirling around her.

"Khione, goddess of ice and snow?"

"Correct."

I wanted to asked how I was supposed to get to Canada unscathed , and how my father would react to this,when she said,"You will not be unprotected. Snowball will come with you, along with some other nice friends. Here, snowball!"

Snowball leaped into her lap with surprising agility. " But she is just a cat!" I protested.

Snowball bared her fangs at me, jumped off her lap, and began to change, growing larger by the second, until she was a beautiful white tiger with black and Gray stripes.

"My name is not snowball, it is Iceberg. And yes, I count as protection." The tiger said.

I was about to say she did, when there was a knock on the door. Khione sighed and handed me a bag, a cooler, and a tent.

"This is everything you will need."

"Need for what?"

"You are leaving, of course."

I see my mom for 20 minutes, and she already kicks me out. Is this supposed to be a sign that I'm a horrible person?

"Dad doesn't even know!"I protested. If he came home to an empty house, how would he feel, knowing both the people he loved were gone?

"He... does. I told him a week ago to expect your disappearance." I thought Khione was going to cry.

"Dad knows your alive then?" I pondered.

"No. I told him in the form of his subconscious, so he would think he thought of it." She definently was about to cry. " If he knew who I was, knew I was alive..." She shuddered. "Much better that he thinks I am dead."

Better for who? I was thinking about a dozen more things I wanted to ask her. A "Hello?" in a male voice interrupted my thoughts. I  figured these were the people from the camps. Khione kept calling my name, urging me to run. I was too deep in thought to listen. A camp for people like me? Where I could be able to live my life, knowing that I had some sort of superpower normal people just didn't have? Then I saw the ugly purple wound by my mother's heart. I wondered if had anything to do with the camps.

"Winter, go! Use the back door! I sadly cannot interfere directly, but...." I never heard an answer, I took the packages and ran past Khione into the hallway.The door opened a crack, letting in a blizzard from outside. I glanced back and saw two people standing on the steps. A blonde boy with jeans and a purple coat held hands with a dark skinned girl in Orange sweatpants and a snowboarding jacket.

I kept running. In the backgrounds, beside the noise of my heart pounding in my chest, I heard my mother burst into (presumably, since she was the goddess of snow) snow.

I heard the boy burst the door completely open and shout "Hello!" Again. Before I turn the corner of the hallway, I saw letters embroidered on the coat. CHB. Camp Half Blood. The camp trying to locate me. Running through the hallway, with the door insight, I heard the growls of a tiger, followed by lightning. Since when did lighting strike in the middle of a winter storm? I didn't think on it.

I wrenched the door open and ran, as fast as you can with Camping gear in hand. It was awfully hard... finally I got reasonably far away from the house and began to jog. Hours later, I reached a sign that said:

WELCOME TO UPTOWN, MAINE!

The sign under it said:

CANADA BORDER : 52 miles.

I was exhausted. Not wanting to walk another mile today, I veered off the main road and headed for alleys and backstreets. Finally I reached a reasonable stretch of woods, where I would be secluded Would the camp search for me? I wondered if they had magic tracking thingies. That worried me. But I needed sleep. I needed more problems like I needed a hole in the head. So I set up a little camp.

Sleeping tent on the right,cooler far away in case wild animals wanted a snack, and everything else (gee, I didn't have much else) in a pile inside the tent. I spread out the sleeping back in the middle because the tent was easily the largest I've ever seen, just about 10 by 15. The temperature inside it was 64.5 f. Outside it was 29 f. I wondered how I knew that, and those were my last thoughts as I fell asleep.

I slept dreamless.

Oh, and I woke up to a snarling face with claws spayed out, ready to strike at my heart.

Yay! My suspenseful powers....
