Hi every body, this is my first story, So please no hate. I would love to take suggestions, but friendly please. Thanks!
I was having a bad day, and for the first time it was not my fault. It all started with the stupid book. Now I know what you're wondering, who are you and what are you talking about? Well I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Caleb Smith, and my life is very interesting. It started on a friday. I was sitting in my room, I had just finished reading the Mark Of Athena, the latest instalment of the 'Heros of Olympus' series. I was thinking about all that had happened in the book, when I decided that I had to read it again. I was about to open it when I heard the crash. The sound of stomping feet was heard coming up the stairs, thats when the door was swung open to reveal two men. One held a large hunting knife, and the other a crowbar.
"Well What do we have here Joey, A little brat!" The man with the crowbar said to the man now dubbed Joey. I could feel the tingling in the back of my skull, signaling me that something was about to happen.
"What do you say we do with brat Bill? We could kidnap him, maybe use him as bait for the family, or kill him."Joey said to the now dubbed Bill. I glared at them and clenched my jaw, a canine like growl emitting from my mouth. The look on there face said that they weren't expecting that.
"What the.." He never finished the sentence, I had crouched and launched myself at Bill, transforming into a pure white gray wolf in the process and punching his face with my back paws. He yelled in pain, but by then I was already launching myself at Joey pinning under my weight and latching my canines onto a place a little more… Well we can just say that his voice would be high for quite a long time. O ya forgot to mention that I was a shapeshifter, along another talent. Anyway as I turned I saw Bill Looking at me, he then promptly screamed like a girl and ran out of the room. Joey then jumped up screamed like a six year old girl, and followed Bill faster than a jackrabbit. I snorted and turned to see something that I still don't understand to this day.
The Mark Of Athena book was floating there as if suspended by an invisible force. Then the weirdest thing happened, starting as a small circle at the binding, a portal like thing grew outward slowly sucking me toward it like a vacuum. I turned back to my human form and flung my hands outward, you see my other 'talent' was that I had some control over stars and well, I didn't use it often so I thought, worth a try. Well It didn't work, the portal then rudely sucked me in and closed. Stupid portal. I was then promptly dropped into a skydive like fall, which I must say scared the shit out of me. I spun myself and looked down, uh o. I was about two hundred yards away from what looked like a flying boat. Not the weirdest thing today but hey, why not? I didn't have time to turn into an animal so I was going to try something stupid and could possibly cause a nuclear explosion, but YOLO right. Remember how I told you about my star power, well part of that is I could make small stars for a source of energy or maybe a rocket, see where I'm going with this. If not I'll tell you, I'm going to summon stars to my feet and see if they'll propel me like a jet pack, or iron man, your choice. I focussed my energy to my feet, I could literally feel my power draining, but sure enough I heard a spark, then a prompt full boom from which I slowed immensely. But not enough, because I then crashed into the flying ship. I'll tell you one thing about that, heck I could even use two words total to describe it. IT HURT! I heard some talking and slowly opened my eyes to see a scrawny teenager looking at with quite the shock in his eyes. But hey I don't blame him, 16 year old boy crashes into your flying ship, probably kind of weird. I then did the smart thing, I stood up and jumped backwards and like the idiot I was, tripped.
"Whoa no need to be scared dude." The scrawny boy said with a lopsided grin.
"No need to be scared! I was not only just attacked by robbers, but then the book I was reading opened up a portal and sucked me in! I then Promptly get to crash onto a Flying ship!" I yelled at the scrawny boy. WAIT! A flying ship, the Argo 2 was a flying ship and that was from the house of Hades. O no. I just realized where I was, I was aboard the all famous Argo 2. And in front of me was the famed son of Hephaestus, Leo Valdez.
"O shit" I whispered at the realization. Thats when a blonde haired kid and a brown haired girl ran up the stairs.
"Leo, what's going on! And who is that?" The blonde asked, who I knew in a moment was Jason the son of Jupiter. That meant that the girl next to him was most likely Piper, the daughter of Aphrodite.
"I don't now, he just crashed into the ship and started yelling about being robbed and sucked into a book." Leo said exasperated.
"Not robbed you weirdo, attacked by robbers, who's buts I kicked if I must say." I said still unbelieving that I was actually here. "Then My favorite book opened up and sucked me in, I then had to try to try to imitate freaking ironman to save myself from going splat on the deck of you ship! Which if you didn't know was flying!" I yelled like a mad man, a tingling sensation forming at the back of my head. O no, not good. I did some breathing exercises to try to calm down. And thats when one of my personal favorite characters walked onto the deck. Annabeth Chase her self.
"What's going on up here? Who's that, and what was the big explosion." Annabeth said confused.
"Well say hi to…. I never learned your name what is it?" Leo asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Caleb, Caleb Smith." I practically whispered, still traumatized by what was happening.
"Well there you go, Caleb Smith, he kind of fell out of the sky, and well he was the explosion. He pretty lucky he didn't go splat. But now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know where he comes from. Where do you..." Leo was about to ask when a screech filled the air. They looked like people and birds combined in some weird nasty mix.
"Battle stations, we have monsters." Annabeth yelled, pulling out her famous dagger, or 'the cursed blade' and ran over to some boarding monsters to fight. Now they all took off, grabbing weapons and engaging in battle. So I did the natural thing, I turned into my wolf form and attacked. Ripping the throught out of one monster, and kicking another. Thats when I heard a scream. I looked over and saw Piper being pinned against a wall by two monsters, and it appeared that she had a hurt arm. I launched myself forward and body slammed into one of the monsters, catching the attention of the other. It swung its claw against my side, causing me to yelp in pain. I growled back and ripped it's throught out, then turning back to my human form and helping piper up. I had to say this was really cool, I was fighting alongside the actual seven, or six at the time. Piper then looked me in the eye and whispered "Who are you kid?"
