I ran to the line, getting ready to throw the ball I carried. The last month had been weird. After saving the world I had to go back to school, even though I had been offered a place at Camp Jupiter where I thought I'd complete my education together with Annabeth.
But no, of course it couldn't be that easy. I got somehow forced by the almighty sir law itself to visit a normal school again. Meh. Could have been worse but honestly most of the subjects sucked.
Currently, I was in sports and we had a game going on. I didn't completely understand its rules but it was something with balls and throwing them. I just noticed I already mentioned that. Sorry.
Anyways, I ran through the gym when I suddenly heard a familiar shout. I tried to get who that came from but was not able to think straight. I noticed that I stopped running. Why did I stop? It didn't matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get myself to run. What felt like minutes of trying must have only been a few seconds.
Then, suddenly, there was this breathtaking pain. Slowly looking down I saw the reason to this. A long stick came out of my thorax. A stick with a sharp thing on the top. A spear. A spear that just bored itself into my body.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, this is not really chapter one. It is more of a prologue kinda thing but not really (if you ever read any prologues you know why).
It is pretty short, I know. Chapter one/two will be a lot longer. This is already confusing.
I am also sorry if anything isn't named correctly or stuff. I am not a native english speaker.
