Into.

Yes. My name is Jane. Jane Stauffer.

No. I am not normal.

Yes. This is my story.


I strolled up to the very top of Half-Blood Hill and looked out to the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood. They will never accept me. I thought. Never.

What would happen when Chiron found out? Where would I stay? There wasn't a cabin for me here. I knew there was a cabin for every god here, but I knew my father wasn't in there. He couldn't be. Not after what he did.

The rain was coming down hard. The one half of Thalia's pine tree that was exposed to the weather had its needles glistening with raindrops. The other half was green and full with the Golden Fleece sparkling in its branches. I stood there, waiting. I had no idea what I was waiting for, but I was frozen, getting more and more soaked by the minute.

Chiron finally put his head up and saw me. No. I thought. Please don't come up here. I don't want to hurt you.

Of course, he got up out of his wheelchair and stretched out into full centaur-form. He trotted up to meet me.

"Hello." He said. "I am Chiron."

I could feel the tears run down my cheek. "I know." I could hear my voice crack.

Chiron have me a confused look. "You know? How do you know?"

I wouldn't meet his eyes.

He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me. "It's ok, young one. I know, I know. You have been through a lot. You will be safe here."

I looked up. "Chiron-"

"Shh. it's ok."

"No Chiron. It's not." I couldn't believe I was telling him this. "Your - you're my brother."
