Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson Series.
And this is my first story on fanfiction so wish me luck. Enjoy :)
Chapter 1 - Freaky Dream Comes True
"No! Stay away from me!" I yelled being scared to death. I hated my dreams. I just hated them because they were always weird and never made sense.
"Taryn, your father demands you leave and go to-" said one of the creatures that flew in the sky. They were three of them, but all hissed out their words and again scared me to death. "My father is dead!" I yelled back running away and bumping into a kid with the same black hair and brown eyes as me and that dark look. Behind him stood a boy and girl who looked older than him. The girl had grey stormy eyes with long blonde hair and an orange t-shirt with words printed on them. The other boy had black hair yet green eyes.
"Come with us, if you want to get away from those things!" yelled the boy who had the brown eyes.
They all seemed like they wanted to help but I couldn't take it. What did this all mean? Who were they? And what did they want from me?
I woke up sitting up on my bed. My black hair fell over my shoulders and my side bangs fell over my dark brown eyes. I sighed of relief that it was just a dream. I hated my dreams, because most of the time it led to something else. Something real. I fell backwards and groaned, looking over to the side seeing that my round alarm clock said it was '5:59AM' and then it turned to '6:00AM' and began to ring.
RING! RING! RING!
I slammed my hand on the snooze button and sat up to get ready for school.
School was my least favorite place in the world. You see I had dyslexia and ADHD and well that didn't make things any easier. "Taryn Noel," called my teacher, taking attendance. I was in my first class... literature. My absolute least favorite class. "Here!" I exclaimed, because even if it was least favorite class, the teacher Ms. Maple was very kind. She smiled and checked my name off and then placed the attendance sheet on her desk. "Okay class today we will be reading about Greek Mythology. First off who can name the three most power gods."
I shot my hand in the air because I knew a lot of Greek mythology. "Zeus; god of the skies. Poseidon; god of the seas. And Hades; god of the Underworld."
She smiled and nodded, "Very good, Taryn. So as you will all see that a book about the gods and their stories is placed on your desk. Your assignment is to read this book and write an essay of it due the end of the month."
I heard a kid snicker, "Yeah but what if some of us can't read that fast."
Right now I felt like I wanted that kid to be eaten by the Minotaur right now. Grr. Whenever someone teased me about my negatives, I would grow angry and it would take a long time for me to get over it. Even the guidance counselor couldn't help me. Then the bell rang and everyone ran out of the classroom even me as I held the book in my head but I got interested and when I opened it I stopped and froze. It was written in Greek, well ancient Greek to be exact. "What?" I whispered and heard a voice behind me say, "I think you will find reading this book much easier than other books you've read."
I turned and saw Ms. Maples smiling at me. "Um thanks, but I need to get going so I won't miss my next class." I explained and dashed off hearing someone yell, "No running in the hall!" Oh joy... I was a 14 year old with the strangest life ever! Then I heard whispers telling me, "Outside...go outside...forest...behind...school."
I kind of froze and then because I had ADHD, I was curious and stupidly went outside in the hot sun. "Who are you?" I whispered and then walked towards the forest behind my school.
"Follow us. Come." The voice hissed.
I froze and realized I just ditched school. I would be dead by the time I went home and confronted my mom, my step-dad and my annoying step-brother. Okay I need to head back and stop listening to this freaky voice! As I was turning around on my sneaker heels, I heard a loud hiss, "Stop and perish!" Perish? I turned around and saw three creatures flying in the sky.
Oh no! Not my dream! Not these freaks! Not-weird events!
The screeched and flew downward towards me as I ran to a tree and when they came after me I ran out of the way and fell on the ground as one of them flew into the tree. "Alecto!" called the other two weird flying things. Wait Alecto? As in the Fury, Alecto?
Alecto hissed at me and they all then circled me whispering and hissing. Then my dream... came to life.
"Taryn Noel, your father demands you leave and go to-" hissed Alecto.
"My father is dead!" I snapped back and ducked and dodged them running from them. It was true because my mom told me he died in a house fire when I was younger. Running ahead I ran into the same people in my boy. The girl with stormy grey eyes. The boy with green eyes and the other boy with brown eyes with the dark look. "Not you to!" I yelled in shock.
"What? Who- ahhh Kindly Ones!" yelled the girl.
Then she pulled out a sharp weapon which scared me much more. "Percy, she's one of us!" yelled the girl at the boy with green eyes who I know now is Percy.
Percy nodded and took out a pen (seriously a pen? What will you do with that?) and uncapped it. Then it turned into a celestial bronze sword and then the boy with brown eyes took out a sword which didn't scare me as much as the other two weapons. They left me there and fought the so called Kindly Ones until they fell to the ground harmed. The boy with brown eyes said, "I, Nico Di Angelo, command you to go back to the Underworld!" Then the ground opened and they fell into it. As I watched I felt something on my hand and looked at my right hand seeing on my index finger a golden ring and it seemed like it was missing a jewel or something on it. Because an outline of something was on the ring but the object that used to be there was now... gone.
They all turned around and looked at me. "Who are you?" I asked with a shake in my voice.
"My name is Annabeth Chase; daughter of Athena. This is Percy Jackson; son of Poseidon and Nico Di Angelo; son of Hades." said the blonde haired girl.
I almost forgotten about the Greek mythology book in my hand and stared at it then looked at them. "As in the Greek gods?" I asked.
