HI every one!! Im Tessa Grant. I have had a pretty normal life until I was 10 years old. I was at school When my Latin teacher asked to see me. My Latin teacher's name is Debbie Bernte and she is the meanest person on the planet!! I was coming into the room and something VERY weird happend. My teacher came up to me and tried to touch me. I instinctivly pulled back. Imidiatly she started shrinking and she became a bald eagle!! She chased me into the lobby where I ran into my friends Jacob, Hazel and Matt. Matt saw the eagle first and said," We HAVE to get out of here!!" He escorted us to Camp Half-Blood where we found out he was a sayter. Now Im going to skip past all the intruductury stuff and get to the story. After a week living at Camp I was still in the Hermes cabin. Jacob had discovered he was a child of Zeus; Hazel had been claimed by Poseiden, but me? No I was still not claimed. Finally after dinner one night, some thing extrodinary happend. I had gotton up to look at the lake and when I turned back everyone was staring into the shadows. A man who looked powerful stepped into the light. He said," Im Hades Tessa and Im claiming you as my daughter, Here take this," He held out a gold chain with a ruby pendint at the end, "It is a powerful weapon, only use it in times of distress." Then he was gone. Nico diAngalo came up to me and said, " lets get you moved into the Hades cabin with me!!" Stay tuned for more of the story!!
