I do not own Percy Jackson. I only own myself in this story.
Why did I have to be reading in the bath?
I was reading Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth. The characters had just escaped Kampe. I was so relaxed I didn't notice I had started thinking out loud. "I wish I could experience things like that," I said. Then, the book started glowing a lovely green colour. "I didn't know they sold the books with special colour lighting!" I thought. Then, everything went black.
When I came to, I was in a dark corridor. There were voices just down the path. In a daze, I crawled towards them, forgetting that I was only in my birthday suit. When I got closer, I heard what they were saying. The voice of a boy, probably in his teens, said "… he's coming after me." Then a girl about his age said "Percy," as realisation hit me. This wasn't any dark corridor. This was the Labyrinth. I had been sucked into my book. I'd just read that.
But then I realised something else. I'd been re-reading the series. I had crucial information that could change the story. I also realised that I had no clothes, so it was lucky it was dark. I slowly crept forwards. I saw a dim light. Some faces came into focus. Yep. Just as I thought. They were Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. I couldn't decide how to approach them, being in the nude. I couldn't just run up to them and ask for an autograph.
I was just standing up, when I tripped over a bone. I crashed to the ground. I looked up and saw the two figures standing over me, swords drawn. "Oops," I said.
