My name is Peyton Janocha. I used to think I was just an ordinary girl, that was until this morning. Today started off like any other day, I got yelled at by my step dad, then he was calmed down by my mother, then I headed out for the bus to go to a torture chamber, I mean my school.

Once I got off the bus I was greeted by the usual rag tag group of bullies, the leader was a fairly thin girl who had the cruelest, overly large, hazel eyes and the nastiest yellow smile you ever did see. The two back up body guards were twins. Now the bad thing was, was that they never got teased because of their looks. They had smooth, glossy black hair, beautiful blue eyes, and flawless fair skin that never got a blemish or mark on it.

"Give me your lunch," said one of the twins "because you know we hate that unnatural crap that they serve here." I did as much as I could not to whimper in fear. I had seen what they could do and I did not want to end up like the last kid who tried to challenge them.I don't know exactly what had happened, but let's just say no one has heard from him or seen him ever since.

"Girl, girls..." said their leader, Helena," Don't harass the poor little girl... let me harass her."

This was the point when things got weird for me. The three bullies that had harassed me for as long as I can remeber started to form into the nastiest, ugliest, weirdest creatures I had ever layed my eyes upon. They looked like something I had seen at school in my textbook when we started learningabout Greek mythology. It looked like an empousai. Just as they were forming I saw a blade come through each of them and then three teenagers standing behind them. One was a girl with beautiful blonde hair in a pony tail and stormy gray eyes, the other girl had short choppy black hair with electric blue eyes, and the last one was a guy with black hair and sea green eyes. I wanted to ask them so many quesstions, but before I could open my mouth one of them spoke. "Hello," said the girl with the stormy gray eyes "My name is Annabeth and we should probably get going before there is another attack like that."
