Katherine Grace; The Cursed Demigod
By: KariGrace14
Chapter One
Hey everyone I'm new here and I love the Percy Jackson series and I have some fan fiction on it. I like to give a lot of detail so it's probably going to be really long…idk it might not, but please bear with me! Well here goes, I hope you all enjoy, and please tell me if there's anything you hate or like about it I will not report any mean comments I want you to be brutally honest with me if it absolutely sucks…thanks!
As Katherine ran from the gryphons she thought back on the last two months.
When she had run away from Camp Jupiter she had met three demigods, Jake, Alley, and Maria. They had decided to travel with her, but it was short lived. They were all dead now.
After that she had been traveling alone, well not completely alone. She had her paladin, Hunter. A paladin was an animal companion, in Katherine's case, a shape shifter companion. You see Hunter was a shape shifter, just like Katherine. The only thing he couldn't turn into was a human.
The shape shifter is an ancient creature sometimes called a changeling, they usually live in kingdoms in the sky separated into clans. Katherine had been "blessed" when she was training with Lupa by a shape shifter. Ever since that she had been practicing on controlling the power, not the other way around.
She was glad Hunter was by her side, she missed her brother, Jason, and her best friend, Zach. She did not, however, miss Camp Jupiter. Everyone there was afraid of her, they didn't let her join in any of the activities. It was like she was Rudolf, no one wanted her around. Except at the end of the story Rudolf gets accepted…that wasn't the case for Katherine. So she ran away.
The gryphons screeched again, tearing Katherine away from her thoughts. She turned down an alley and turned into a rat, Hunter did the same.
Did we lose them? Hunter asked, his telepathic touch startled Katherine at first, then she calmed down.
Let's hope so, She replied telepathically. Don't jinx it.
They both stayed there as rats, hoping the gryphons hadn't followed them. After about an hour they decided they had lost the monsters. Katherine turned back into a human and Hunter turned into a Dalmatian puppy. Katherine sagged against the wall, glad to finally be able to sit down. Hunter walked over to her and curled up on her lap. Her stomach growled, they hadn't eaten in at least four days.
Then it started raining.
"You have got to be kidding me…" Katherine grumbled. She shivered as the rain kept beating down. She put her hood up, but the windbreaker wasn't very helpful. She could feel Hunter shivering on her lap and wished she could do something to warm him up, but she didn't have anything.
People rushed along the streets, covering their faces with big fluffy hoods and under umbrellas. Cars zoomed past the alley and taxi's picked people up or dropped them off. It was another typical day in New York City.
Katherine tried to doze off, but she was too cold and too hungry. So she just sat there, trying to shield Hunter from the rain.
Maybe there's something useful in that dumpster, Hunter said.
You're telling me to go dumpster diving? Why don't you? I'm gross enough as it is, She replied.Hunter just stared at her, then he started growling. Katherine sighed and got up. She walked up next to the dumpster and opened it. She reeled back, the smell was terrible! So she plugged her nose and started searching through the trash. She actually found an umbrella, but you had to hold it open yourself or else it would close.
I have to keep it open, but I guess I don't mind. As long as I'm out of the rain, Katherine told Hunter. She sat back on the ground and opened up the umbrella, Hunter came over and laid on her lap again.
You should've looked for some food too, Hunter said as he yawned.
I am not eating food out of a dumpster, She said angrily. Hunter didn't reply and soon fell asleep. Since she wasn't too cold anymore, Katherine could focus on sleeping. But she had to keep the umbrella open. So she fiddled with it for a while and surprisingly got it to work right.
Katherine got into a comfortable position and positioned the umbrella so it wouldn't fall but still protect them from the rain, and fell asleep.
Ok so I think I'll just make that the end of chapter one. I'll try and up load chapters frequently. If you guys have any ideas for me or if you want me to add in your character just comment on this. I'm only adding the first two so yeah…I hope anyone who reads this enjoys and puts it in their favorites!
