This is my fist story. I know many people demandask of you, dear reader
for a review. I will also ask, but you don't
have to.
Lance- Do it or I'll come after you
Me- Shut up.
Lance- Hey, I'm just tryin' to get you some reviews
Me- On with the show and DONUT!
Lance- And we don't own or claim to own Percy Jackson or Sanctuary,
Rick Riordan and the owners of Sanctuary own their respective pieces.
Lance
It all started at Central Park, as me, my full brother Percy (same mom and dad), and Annabeth took a stroll through the park. Percy was only with me because he had to look after me, and also because he was in trouble as well (we didn't mean to destroy the new water fountain that Mom had bought, but we were still yelled at by Paul with Mom being the more forgiving one, and then Poseidon/Dad yelling at us for being so reckless), so now he had to watch me for another week and four days. Annabeth tagged along because those two were inseperable! So we decided to hit the park. As we walked along the path, I looked at myself out of boredom while playing with my (somehow always) curly, black hair. I wore a red t-shirt with a white skull and crossbones on the side, a pair of regular blue jeans (I was a size and a half smaller than Percy), and a white pair of Nike's (Naturally) and I had the same eye color as Percy (Sea-green ran in the family eye color department). I looked over towards Annabeth and Percy. Percy had on a sea-green t-shirt (What is it with him and sea-green anyways?), a pair of blue jeans like mine, and red Reeboks. Annabeth had on a blue tank-top with a white lining to it, a pair of khaki capris, and white Nike's, like mine. I reached into my pockets and gripped the ball-point pen in my pocket, Tidal Wave. It was just like Percy's: It would always magically appear in my pocket and I just had to uncap it for it to go into sword form. No doubt Percy had his Riptide, and Annabeth had on her Yankee's cap and most likely her pen/dagger in her pocket as well. It was something that I had made her from her favorite dagger for her 17th birthday (I had made it by myself). We had finally made our way to the picnic area. Annabeth and Percy took a seat down on a seat to a table and started making googly eyes at each other while I took my seat across from them. After two LOOOOOONG hours of me poking Percy with a stick I found, he finally turned his head in annoyance. "What do you want?" "You promised me that when we got to the park, we could wrestle." He sighed, "Lance, can't we do it another day?" I looked toward Annabeth, giving her the puppy-dog look. She looked at me, then at Percy. "Come on Percy, the least you could do is humor him by keeping your promise. Besides, it was starting to get a little boring." I gave a small smirk, and just as quickly hid it. I may not be the brightest, but I knew how to play innocent, thanks to some training from Nico. "Fine, but don't expect me to go easy on you!" I replied by walking towards an open area a few meters away, pulling out my pen, and uncapping it. Percy did the same. Just as we were about to duel, a bright light flared from the sky.
I felt like I was weightless, like in a dream. This went on for I don't know how long, but after what felt like an eternity, I started to regain my other senses. The first thing I felt was the wind rushing past me. The second thing was the tinge of copper in my mouth and then the return of my sight. I opened my eyes and found myself in a free fall. I looked around and found Percy and Annabeth in the same unconscious state. I immediately returned my thoughts to figure out one thing:how in the hell was I going to save us?! I was too busy thinking (something I rarely do in most cases) to see the incoming bat...thing. As I was about to come up with a plan, I felt a sudden change in direction. I looked around suddenly, and found myself staring at a guy. Another quick survey revealed that he had one arm stretched out with some kind of glide suit wing extending from his arm. I decided to wait this trip out, after I had noticed that two other people had Percy and Annabeth. This "flight" had lasted for only ten minutes when they started to descend toward a giant, church-like building. My first thought was, "Oh my gods, there gonna try to convert us!" That was my FIRST thought. My first SANE thought was,"I wonder if they're friends or foes." As they were setting us down, I decided to go back to being "unconscious." I felt my body being laid down, and heard two other bodies being slid onto the ground. The next thing I heard was a door opening and a British lady, who sounded a little miffed. "What the hell are you doing here?!" "Now Helen, just hear me out." This guy sounded a bit worried and scared. " We were just flying by when we saw these three kids falling from the sky," "Oh shit," I thought to myself. "and decided to get these kids to safest place we knew, w-which was...here?" That last part sounded like a question asked in fear. "Well, we will have to bring them inside until they awaken. Then we'll ask them questions." I felt my body being picked up. "Oh and Bruno, do NOT tell anyone, or I'll have my assistant on you." With that comment hanging in the air, I heard the bat guy, Bruno, and his friends fly off. After that I blacked out for real. I woke up to the sound of grunting from what sounded, and smelled, like an ape. I slowly and carefully squinted my eyes (where they looked closed, but were just opened) and saw some kind of super tall thing standing next to my bed. "Oh man, what the hell is that?!" I screamed in thought at myself. This thing was maybe 6.9 feet tall with hair so long, it looked like a Bigfoot costume. A stern looking lady walked in. This lady had REALLY dark brown hair, and eyes that looked like they saw a century come and go. She looked like she was maybe in her mid-forties. "How's this one doing?" I realized that this lady was the same one from the roof... I forgot her name though. "So far, still unconscious, but recovering," said the Walking Carpet in a gruff voice. "Don't worry, Helen," NOW I remember her name! "he just needs some rest." The lady had a worried look on her face, but someone else called, " Hey Magnus, this girl's coming to!" Both Helen and Mr. Shaggy started off toward the voice. I was about to open my eyes when another guy came in. The dude wasn't very buff and he was holding some kind of tablet in his hand, but he had this look, like he had a secret that he only told to people he trusted.
Annabeth
I'm not sure what happened to us because at one moment I was about to watch Percy and Lance duel and the next, I wake up in a bed with a guy holding a tablet in his hand while watching heart monitors. "Hey Magnus, this girl's coming to," he shouted over his shoulder. I gathered my surroundings and saw that I was in some sort of square shaped room, a silver stand was next to me, holding my Yankee's cap and magical pen that Lance made for me as a birthday present. "Oh gods, Lance! Percy! Where were they?" I was about to ask when a regal looking woman and a tall, hairy man entered my room. "She's still in a daze, but there's no sign of any internal injuries," said the man holding his tablet. "Good," said the woman, Magnus I think her name was, "go check on the younger one." He walked out of the room. The stern looking lady turned her attention to me. "How are you feeling? What do you last remember?" I was reluctant to answer, especially with the hairy giant grunting and staring. Helen noticed this, "Don't worry. He won't hurt you." She turned toward him. He got the message and left he room, going towards where the other guy went. "Can you answer some questions for me?" "Where am I? Who are you? Who was the big guy? Wo was the tablet guy? Where's Percy? Is Lance okay?" I kept asking these questions at a rapid pace. The lady grabbed my arm, a sign for me to calm down. "Calm down and relax. You're in the Sanctuary. I am Helen Magnus. That large fellow was my assistant and the other fellow was Henry. I'm not sure what your friends' names are, but they are both okay." Helen answered in slow, calm tone. "How about you answer some of my questions, hmm? Let's start off by telling me your name." "Annabeth," I replied. She gave a smile at that. "What is the last thing you remember?" "My fiancé was about to wrestle his brother in Central Park when a bright white light flared, then I remember waking up to... Henry?" She gave a slight nod toward my question on the tablet guy's name. "Who is who and How old are all of you?" "The curly haired one is Lance, who is 14 and the older one is Percy who is 17. I'm 17 as well." The lady was about to say something when we heard a shout coming from the direction of where Henry and the big guy walked off.
Lance
I decided to knock off the faking sleeping and actually wake up. I found myself face to face with the Walking Furball. "WHOA!" The big guy backed off a bit and another guy just chuckled. "Don't worry, Biggie here doesn't bite." "Much," Biggie added. It took me awhile to register that I was in a hospital bed, looking up at a guy who looked like a Sasquatch. I was about to say something when the lady, Helen walked in. "I see that this one's up." Biggie chuckled at the remark. "What happened last night for me to see a Walking Shag Carpet in this... whatever this place is?" The big guy looked offended, but held back any comments. The lady started to ask me questions, to which I answered truthfully. When I was asked if I had any questions, I simply asked, "What is there to eat here?" That got the other laughing and the Shaggy Carpet joined in. Helen just cracked a smile. She motioned for the big guy to go with her, hopefully to get food. The guy, Henry he told me, allowed me to walk around. I made a beeline for the room that held Annabeth. I slowly entered so that she could catch my movement. "I wondered who shrieked." "Well atleast you didn't wake up with a huge, living fur rug in your face." She laughed at this, and slowly started to get out of her bed. I looked over to Henry, "So, where's my brother?" Henry led us to the room right next to mine and opened the door. I looked at Percy, who looked like he could wake up at any moment. I looked at Annabeth, who had the same idea as me. We casually strolled over to the bed, leaned real close, and shouted, "WAKE UP!" He shot up so fast, he fell out of the bed. Henry laughed with Annabeth, and I was on the floor, laughing so hard I was turning red. He got up and gave me an accusing look. "What was THAT for?!" He asked, angry. After I finished laughing, I told him it was just because. He was about to say something, when again, Bigge walked in carrying a tray with a platter of biscuits,some slices of meat, and three cups of water. I attacked my cup of water and biscuits, Annabeth and Percy hugging and whispering, and Helen walking in, "He seems to have an appetite rivaling yours," she said looking at Biggie. He gave a grunt, but walked off.
Percy
I don't know why, but I was just starting to wake up when Annabeth and Lance screamed at me to wake up. I fell and everyone present laughed, Lance more than the others. I groaned and got up. I was going to sock my brother the moment we were alone, but I went to Annabeth and hugged her. The smell of lavender in her hair made me only focus on Annabeth. "Don't ever leave me again Seaweed Brain," she whispered as a giant ape man came in carrying a platter of biscuits, meat, and water which my brother attacked. I chuckled and so did Annabeth. A lady came in and said something, with a grunt from the ape guy, but he just walked off. I didn't hear what the lady said because I was too focused on Annabeth to really notice anything. Boy did I wish that I wasn't as focused on Annabeth or I would've noticed the silver platter coming for my head. It was at the moment right before contact that my brain finally registered the flash of silver, then the cringing pain, then I was on the floor. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HHHHHHHHHH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Lance, looking unimpressed, simply stated, "You mean you didn't hear the lady's question? Oh wait, thaat's right. You were making googly eyes at Annabeth." She gave him a questioning look mixed with an accusing stare and her famous "I will END YOU!" glare. Lance continued on, oblivious to Annabeth (a mistake he's made sooooo many times before), "I thought 'Maybe I'll just poke him on the shoulder, but then he would be pissed. Eh, what the Hades' and I decided to 'poke' you with this platter." He just gave an innocent smile. I saw Annabeth in the corner of my eye, trying hard not to laugh. Grumbling, I got back up, "Okay, so then... What was the question?" "Well I had asked where you were from, then when you didn't answer, the.. Platter Incident happened." Lance cracked a smile at this, still holding the platter under his arm. I looked at Annabeth, then Lance, who each gave a nod. "New York." "Well, do have any special talents?" Again, I looked at each of them. Annabeth giving a slow, cautious nod and then to Lance who gave a mischievous smile, like he was waiting for this question. "Well, for starters, how well do you know Greek mythology?"
Well guys, what do you think? Yes, I left it on a cliffy, but with the Thanksgiving weekend on our heels, you can be sure to find more. Just send me a review of what you think so far, any suggestions, etc. and I'll try to take in the advice.
