.Percy Jackson Story Chp. 1

Hello everybody. First off, this is my first Percy Jackson and the Olympians fanfiction. Second, this takes place a little bit after the events of Blood of Olympus. Leo has not returned yet. And third, I write this for myself, and I upload when I please. I may go a few days without uploading, I may a month without uploading. I almost will always have a next chapter in the works. Also the title will become apparent as we progress as we get through the story. SO without further ado, here is my story.


Ok, chemistry fire. Definitely an interesting way to end the day. I, Ash Cygne, was just sitting at one of the tables in the science lab, watching Mr. McNeeman trying to mix oil and water (which is impossible), when it burst into flames. I'm not talking about a little candle flame, I'm talking about big, blazing, could light the whole school on fire, kind of fire. After a few seconds of shock, surprise, and dumbfoundment, Mr. McNeeman had the brains to pull the fire alarm, and everyone evacuated. Naturally, the fire department was called, and the fire put out, before it could reach the Level Three storage, where all the poisonous, reactive, and radioactive chemical (for who knows what reasons, we never used them) are kept. After this, the school sent us home, as they wanted to get "various peoples" in to inspect the lab and all the chemicals, to see if any of the materials in the lab could have caused the fire. Besides, it was almost the end of the day anyway.

When I got home, my mom, Elizabeth Cygne, was sitting on the couch, waiting for me, which was never a good sign. She worked as a wildlife rehabilitator, so it wasn't unusual for her to work to 7 or 8 at night. Her being home this early was never a good sign.

"Hi, Mom. How are you? You're home early," I said nervously.

"Honey, sit down, we need to talk."

"What is it, Mom?" I said sitting down.

"I got a call from the school today. They brought up some… incidents that I think we need to discuss. Three months ago, you made a dog attack that Bruno kid?"

"Actually, he was roughing me up, trying to make me tell him the passcode to get into the recovery ward at your work, probably so him and his friends could torture a squirrel or something. I wasn't telling him, and he was threatening to hurt me, when this random dog comes out of nowhere and almost attacks Bruno."

"Okay. They also tell me there was another incident, about two weeks ago, in the cafeteria. They say witnesses saw Bruno accidentally drop some spaghetti on you. You then looked up and stared at Bruno, and all the rats came out of the kitchen, encircled him, and just… stared at him. At least that's what they tell me. Is that true?"

"Yes…" I tell my mom reluctantly, "But I didn't do it! I honestly don't know what happened!"

"Okay, you never give me any reason to not believe you, so I'll believe you on that. But what about the most reason incident. You apparently brought a flock of birds, ten squirrels, and even a goat to school?"

"They followed me, I swear!"

"I know Whitehorse doesn't have the most things to do for a city. It's in the Yukon, probably the coldest corner of Canada, what can you expect? But that's no excuse for you to get into trouble."

"I swear, Mom! I don't know how any of this happened!"

"Your father said things like this would happen…" my mom said to herself, like she didn't want me to hear. "I wonder if I should send you to that camp he talked about…"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" I said, confused.

"Oh, nothing, just go outside till supper's ready."

Not wanting to make my mom upset by pushing the subject, I went outside, where I decided to refill the bird feeders and even lay out some extra for the squirrels. I put out a new bat box, cause the last one had been left in shambles by who knows what. After doing all that, my mom called me in for supper. We ate supper in silence, both rolling our thoughts around their brains. What did she mean "your father said things like this would happen." She always told me that my father had been a wildlife researcher, who had been in Whitehorse for about a year. He left about six months after I was born, leaving my mom to raise me. And a camp? What was she talking about? The only camp I'd ever been to was a horseback riding camp, where all the animals seemed to either be watching me, or outright following me. I guess she'll tell me when she was ready. Anyways I went to bed listening to a podcast about the Greek gods, whom I had always had a certain interest in. Especially the minor gods, like Hecate, and Pan, and Deimos.

The next day was mostly uneventful, even lunch. I had the tofu tacos, as I was a vegan. For some reason, the idea of hurting an animal for anything just makes me lose my appetite. I was almost so bored by the end of the day, I was close to pulling my blonde hair out. I would have just gone home, if I didn't end up being called to the office. Apparently, they had randomly chosen two 14 year old students to reorganize the library that day. And just my luck, they pulled my name. And Bruno's. Crap. This was not going to be fun. I had just walked into the library, when Bruno shoved me up against the wall.

"Listen up, goat meat. I'm gonna stand here, while you reorganize the books. Got it?" Bruno almost growled.

"Fine, Bruno. Whatever you want." I said sarcastically, drawing out the last part of my sentence. I went back into the stacks and came out a few minutes later with a giant stack of books in my arms. I asked Bruno if he could grab me the organization blueprint and all I got was a grunt in reply. Typical Bruno. Setting the books down on a nearby table, I looked up toward Bruno, and what I saw was not Bruno. It was obviously 2.4 metres tall, with muscles that looked harder than bowling balls. Its arms were covered I tattoos, and its teeth looked as if they were stolen from a Rottweiler. Come to think of I had heard of something like them in one of my podcasts. What were they called? Linguini gents? Lastonomy goats? Oh ya, they were called Laistrygonian Giants. Man eaters.
