Wild plants

I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Do you know me? Probably not. My name is Joseph Preston, son of Athena, and this is what happens when Demeter is captured.

So I was walking along to the dining pavilion to have lunch when, out of nowhere a tree bent down and plucked me off from the ground. Then it started to shake me around when I struggled, trying to escape. "Help" I yelled, "help, help!"

But no one heard me. I looked around camp and saw a strawberry plant strangling Pollux, the entire Athena and Ares cabin teamed up to fight a tree, and a pine tree growing coconuts. Other plants were just generally going haywire.

Then the tree that had me, dropped me to the hard ground 48 feet below, and stared doing some sort of weird dance. It totally freaked me out, I can tell you.

Then the pain came. It was excruciating, I mean, what do you expect from a 48 foot drop from a tree? I had probably broken both of my legs and one or more of my ribs.

I started to see black spots and darkness encroached on my vision. I knew I was losing consciousness. Then every thing went black.

I finally came back to consciousness with my legs, ribs and head pounding. "Uggghhh," I groaned.

"Oh, good your awake," my girlfriend.

I guess I should tell you about her. Her name is Jasmine, and of course, in my eyes she is super hot, she has got long brown hair, green eyes, and is a slender girl of about 5 feet 11'. She can manage to be sarcastic at everything, but is really nice. She is also 1 year older than me and second in command of Katie Gardner and the Demeter Cabin.

"Here, Apollo, he's awake, you can heal him now." She calls off to my left.

Suddenly I felt perfectly fine and completely energized. I felt like I could do everything. So I sat up. "What's going on?"

"I don't know. I think Chiron will tell us at the campfire."

"But it's the middle of the day."

"I know, but he called all of the campers to the campfire area. He said he'll explain there and I think Lord Zeus and Lady Hera are there too."

"OK". I got up from my bed and walked to the campfire area with Jasmine.

Five minutes later

We got there just as Chiron started to talk. I walked up to the top of the bleachers or whatever they are called and sat down.

"I think we all know that plants started going haywire today. Lord Zeus will explain."

There is suddenly a blinding flash and Zeus appears.

"Hello silly mortals, I am the all powerful Lord Zeus. Now, you may be wondering why plants went haywire. Well, it is very simple, Demeter has been captured. Without her to hold the plants to the laws of nature, the plants went haywire. Good day."

A low murmur swept through the demigods. "What is happening?" they asked everybody around them. "I don't know" everybody else replied

Suddenly, the oracle (a.k.a Rachel Elizabeth Dare) stepped forwards and said in a very scary and horrifying voice" Half-bloods of Athena, Demeter and Zeus shall go on a Quest to the west to save Demeter before the Titan can eat her.

Then she promptly fainted.

If I get 3 reviews for this story I will write the next chapter,
