This is my first fanfic and it may not be the best so no hostile flames please. And here to give a disclaimer is: Poseidon!
Poseidon: Hello, hello. Here is the disclaimer: Bananas, Bread, White Milk, Oranges, Red Peppers… What?
MM: OMG! That isn't the disclaimer, it's my mom's grocery list!
Poseidon: Where are my cue cards…?
MM: Eugh… Fine. MirroredMaze does not own Percy Jackson and any related characters (WHY IS LIFE SO CRUEL!) and all rights go to Rick Riordan.
Travis POV
This prank is going to be awesome! I sneaked into the Poseidon cabin, ready for any type of ambush…
Wait, let me back up. So you know how Percy is so Heroic, and Frank is so clueless, and… I could go on and on about the traits of every camper.
But I know better than anyone that we all wear masks. Inside, we're something different. And many people are ashamed of that. This prank, if it's successful, will make feel better about themselves.
Anyway, I sneaked into all the cabins, located their MP3s, and added a different song to each of their playlists. Suddenly, I see Percy approaching the door.
Damn. I slip out the window, and run off.
Percy POV
I walked into my cabin and immediately flopped down onto my bed. I picked up my MP3 and immediately clicked my favorite playlist.
But this time, it started playing a song I hadn't heard:
Took a long hard look, at my life.
Lost my way, while I was fighting the tide.
What? I checked the display. It read: Invincible by Hedley. Well, It seemed like the type of song I'd like.
A big black cloud, stormy sky.
Followed me, oh I was living a lie.
So heartless, so selfish, so in darkness, when all your nights are
Starless,
You're running outta hope.
But I found the strength inside to see, found the better part of me,
And I'll never let it go.
It was like this song was perfect for me. I was poor, had no relatives but my Mom and Smelly Gabe, and was bullied. I'd been used as a punching-bag by countless monsters, and the camp kept putting me on an idol.
I've come a long, long way,
Made a lot of mistakes,
But I'm breathin, breathin, that's right and I mean it, mean it.
This time I'm a little run down, I've been living out loud.
I could beat it, beat it, that's right, 'cause I'm feelin, feelin,
Invincible.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I kept my mask on tight, pretending to be the hero that I wasn't. I've come all this way, leaving behind countless deaths…
When you're gone for a day, on your own.
Tear your heart out just to find your way home.
I've been so high, I've sunk so low.
I've come so far, with nothing to show, for it.
I'd lost so many of my friends, but I've accomplished so much…
Mistaken, I got so good at taking,
But now I'm tired of faking.
This story's getting old.
I don't want to accept praise, I don't want to lead, I want to follow.
So I found the strength inside to see, from the better part of me,
And I'll never let it go.
I've come a long, long way,
Made a lot of mistakes,
But I'm breathin, breathin, that's right and I mean it, mean it.
This time I'm a little run down, I've been living out loud.
I could beat it, beat it, that's right, 'cause I'm feelin, feelin,
Invincible.
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Invincible.
I'm not the only one,
To crash into the sun, and live to fight another day.
There are others who would have survived if not for me…
Like a super nova, that old life is over.
I'm here to stay.
But I can't let my friends down…
Now I'm gonna be,
Invincible.
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Invincible.
I've come a long, long way,
Made a lot of mistakes,
But I'm breathin, breathin, that's right and I mean it, mean it.
This time I'm a little run down, I've been living out loud.
I could beat it, beat it, that's right 'cause I'm feelin, feelin,
Invincible.
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Invincible.
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Invincible.
Regardless of whether or not I deserved it, these people looked to me for support and strength. Unexpected as it was, this strange song made me feel better. I put down my MP3 and walked out the door with a fresh perspective.
Strangely enough, Travis Stoll was waiting right outside. He grinned at me. "You okay?" He asked.
I looked at him strangely and walked to the arena. I'd had enough strangeness in my life already.
Poseidon: *Sob* That was so sad!
MM: Well, did you like it? It's almost summer, yaay! I'll be able to update MUCH more frequently in the summer. Anyway, I'd like to feel like my hard work has produced some results, so I'm not updating until I get at least 1 review.
Bye!
