I woke up, the car was still driving through the woods. When I say “woke up” I mean that my friend, Harry, yelled at me until I was awake.
‘Al, wake up you sleepy doofus! Al! AAAAAAAAAAAAL!!! AAAAAAAAAA-’
‘Stop yelling, I’ve woken up.’ I said with a sleepy voice.
‘Aww, you were laying so cute when you were asleep.’ My mother suddenly said from the driver’s seat. Through the rear window I gave her my favourite death stare. Harry grinned.
‘Haha, just so you know, we’re almost there.’ Harry said with a broad smile. He was getting very excited about this camping trip. You see, beneath that massive pile of black hair and laziness there was someone who loved nature more than anyone I’ve ever met. Harry is about as old as I am (14 years old), perhaps a few years older since he’s already starting to grow a beard; he’s been in the same classes as me for a few years though.
‘Well kids, I can’t bring you any closer than this.’ Said mother while she slowed down and eventually stopped the car.
‘Thank you for the ride Mrs. Manning.’
‘Bye mom.’
‘Have fun kids!’
Harry and I stepped out of the car, she immediately drove away.
We walked a bit further into the woods.
‘Al, do you see those buildings at the hill over there?’ I followed Harry’s finger. He pointed at a group of buildings which were quite near to us.
‘Yes, is that where we are headed?’
‘Yeah. I got to tell you a few things first though.’ He nervously sniffed the air, it was a weird habit he had. ‘Hmm, seems I have to be quick…’ he sniffed again. ‘Oh shit…’
‘What?’ I asked, I was getting nervous as well.
‘I’ll just quickly tell you the things they won’t be able to explain. Umm, if they ask you who your parent is, it’s Hermes. And uhh…’ suddenly Harry started to put off his trousers. I quickly turned around.
‘Bloody Hell Harry! At least warn me when you’re going to strip in front of me. And who are “they”?’
‘Haha, just turn around. Don’t worry, you won’t get to see my delicate buttocks. And I’ll tell you in a minute who "they" are.’ I carefully looked back. I was confused about what I saw. Harry had the legs of a goat.
‘What the… I don’t… What?’
‘I’m a satyr, and you’re a de- OH SHIT!’ I suddenly heard growling behind me. I turned around and saw a colossal black dog standing a few feet behind me. It was as big as a bear, if not bigger. It was very fast and bit my leg. I let out a scream but was able to get out of its mouth.
‘Quick Al, catch these! You activate ‘em by clicking on ‘em!’ Harry threw two small objects at me, I was able to catch only one. I’d have to find the other one later. I lost sight of Harry.
With more effort than usually, but still with much speed, I climbed into a tree and saw that I’d caught a wristband. What did Harry say? ‘you activate them by clicking on them’ I clicked on the wristband its logo, a caduceus. I almost fell out of the tree out of shock, it suddenly had turned into a dagger. I regained my balance but dropped the dagger.
‘NO! YOU CLUMSY PRICK!’ Harry was standing about 150 feet away from us, the dog only paid attention to me though. ‘I’ll get someone from the camp, stay there.’
‘Too bad, I was just about the go down and pet that adorable black dog down here, if only it wouldn’t try to kill me.’
‘Very funny Al! Hmm… something seems wrong with the barrier, I can’t get in! HELLO? CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? A HELLHOUND IS ATTACKING US!’ I had not a clue what Harry was talking about.
It was pretty peaceful up here if you ignored the dog’s growling and barking, I decided to look at my leg. Bad choice; like most of the time, when you looked at the wound, the pain came. It felt as if it was still in the dog its mouth. I let out a groan of pain. Even though it hurt, I could still move and use my leg.
Harry came back with someone accompanying him. The dog looked away from me for a second, but immediately started barking in my direction.
‘And that is the idiot who dropped his weapon.’ Said Harry while pointing at me.
‘Al, wake up you sleepy doofus! Al! AAAAAAAAAAAAL!!! AAAAAAAAAA-’
‘Stop yelling, I’ve woken up.’ I said with a sleepy voice.
