It was just an average day at school that is until I was attacked by the furies. The furies are the Greek god Hades "bodyguards". Anyway, my name is Artemis. I was named after the Greek goddess because she was my mother's favorite. I am 15 years old and I go to a high school called Savannah Arts Academy, well was going to Savannah Arts.
After my stunt, I don't think I'll ever be allowed to go back. Well, it was a surprise I got in on the account of my ADHD and dyslexia, but somehow I got in as for an art major.
Back to the furies. I was walking from my art class when I was hit in the head. I stood up and shook it off. I turned and standing there was three ugly women with black wings coming out of their back. They pointed at me, venom dripping off their fangs and said, "Child of the Big Three, your end shall come sooner than you think."
I looked around. No one noticed the women in hallway. The one in the middle manifested a sword that was made of fire. She growled. "GOOD-BYE HONEY!" Then suddenly a boy and girl of about eighteen jumped out of nowhere. "GET DOWN!" the boy shouted at me.
I did as I was told. Good thing I did because he uncapped a pen and a sword sprang out of it. He stabbed the middle one with the sword. The other two backed away.
Another boy of about fourteen appeared out of nowhere. He waved his hand and muttered "Be gone." The women bowed and disappeared in a burst of flames.
The boy capped his pen. He had unruly black hair and the most beautiful sea foam green eyes I had ever seen. The girl had blond hair and grey eyes. The younger boy had shaggy and messy dark brown hair. His eyes were black as the midnight sky. He was dressed in all black like I was.
The boy that had appeared out of nowhere held his held out to me. I was wary of him. "Who are you people?" The boy motion to himself. "My name is Nico di Angelo. The boy is Perseus Jackson, but we call him Percy." "Or Seaweed Brain," the girl chimed in.
I snickered. Nico snorted. "The smartalec is Annabeth Chase." I shook each of their hands. "How is it that no one saw that battle?" I asked.
Percy laughed. "They saw it alright, but they saw us setting some on fire." As if on cue, Ashley Carkley screamed. "OH MY GOD! ARTEMIS STARTED A FIRE!" She pulled the fire alarm.
Nico grabbed my hand. "Come on. We have to go." Percy grabbed mine and Annabeth's hands. "Go where?" I asked.
Percy gave me a half smile. "To Camp Half-Blood of course."
