My first day at St. Mary's wasn't bad... it was horrible! I mean why couldn't I just have the usual let-pick-on-the-new-girl thing? No! It had to have a BIG furry monster and evil cheerleader, even MORE evil cheerleaders! And... Uh anyway let's start from the part where my mom technically had to drag me to the schools doors like a toddler.
"Mom, please! I haven't done anything!" Okay so I was lying but there was no way in heaven that I was going to a school that had a supplementary older than Dumbledore and a ugly green-skirt uniform that didn't go with the Louisiana climate.
"You haven't done anything?!" My mom screamed and I had to let go off the car to face her. My mom almost never yells but when she does it scares the crap out of me.
"I mean nothing that bad" I said but it came out as a whisper.
"Rosemary Black!" I had no than option than to stop staring at my black sneakers and face her. She had black circles under her eye and she looked older which felt weird since mom for me had always be the symbol of beauty but lately she had been under too much stress thanks to my big time screws. Now we look almost alike I thought, then again almost. She still had that golden hair, blue eyes, and the sort of smile that will shine your day while I was a pale thirteen year old with a gap as gross a pen between her front teeth and peach black eyes and hair, not a fair competition if you ask me.
"Am sorry mom, I promise I won't...you know" I didn't have to say what I did we both knew perfectly well what happen on the other school
"I trust you" She smile to me with that radiant smile and then she was gone. She left driving her blue Toyota truck and left me with any new girl nightmare, cheerleaders.
"Rosemary Way?" The tall red haired asked, she had green eyes that say something between "Go to hell" to "I love you" Am not sure how she did that but it was creepy and then there where her two clones to her sides, of course. The one to the left seemed the friendliest of the three, she had dark skin, and hazel eyes that seemed less offensive, again just less. And finally to the right a caramel haired girl who didn't even bother to hide the "yuck" face.
"Yeah that's me" I raised my hand a bit. Okay so now that I look back at it must have looked pretty stupid and apparently the girls realize that too.
"Okay got that message" Yuck face "whispered" to the others "Can we just get over these?" Apparently this was normal since the other girl didn't even bother to look at her.
"Right RosyMa-"
"Roxy!" I cut off the red haired a little bit too sharply.
"Whatever" She said rolling her eyes and then pointing to the friendly looking girl. "This is Carol and this one" She pointed to the yuck face girl "Is Linda" Linda gave me a sweeter bitt smile.
"And am Jess" Finished the girl. "So Roxy" begun Carol stepping forward looking enthusiastic though am not sure why. "would you like us to give you a tour around school?" No! My brain shouted desperately but somehow my mouth said a somewhat eager "Yes!"
When a bunch of not-friendly-looking cheerleaders want to give you a tour around school , you say no, shake your head till it falls or let them drag you or even better run! Whatever you do don't say yes because that's exactly what I did.
"So are you planning to getting one of these?" Carol said pointing to her green cheerleader uniform, of course Linda exclaimed to this. "Please no!" And I decided to ignore her.
"Actually am not the sportive type" I finally answer back but Carol seemed like she couldn't care less.
"What's up?" asked Jess looking up from her pink nails.
"Intruders" Carol said in a creepy voice and suddenly all the girls smiles melt away. I looked to the sides of the hallway searching for some director or maybe other cheerleaders but nothing seemed to have changed just a bunch of girls on their first day of school.
"Sorry, what intruders?" They all looked at me as if they just remember I existed.
"We better take this to somewhere more...private" Linda said and they shared a fit of evil laugh, that's when I saw my chance.
"Okay, well thanks for the tour! Good luck with the Intruders!" I turned my back to them but they just appear in front of me.
"Oh no you're coming with us" I don't is it was the evil grin, or the horror movie tone, or probably the vicious eyes but as they said that I had a feeling my day was only getting worst.
Roof tops are a bad thing. That wasn't something new. In my last school at Cleveland, some kids would sneak up there to smoke or drink behind the teachers back but Linda, Carol, and Jess gave rooftops evilness to a whole new level.
"Ah! Finally sometime without all those mortal around! I hate wearing this things" Jess said and for a moment I was terrified that she will strep off her uniform but instead something worst happen.
If you have ever seen a girl with a donkey leg and a bronze leg with golden fangs like a vampire and of course just in case it seemed, normal hair on fair you had a pretty good idea what Jess and her friends actually change into. And me, I did what any other scare to death teenager would have done. I screamed to the top of my lungs, "Donkey Vampire! You're a donkey vampire!" I pointed to Jess legs just to make sure I looked stupidly enough.
"Oh Ms. Universe is talking?" That little comment from Linda got me back to my senses.
"Hey! Am not the one whose hair is on fire!" My mom always told me to respect my elders but apparently she forgot to mention the donkey vampires cheerleaders because you don't want to mess with those either.
"Oh you little-!"
"Linda!" Carol stop her from throwing herself at me, and just for a moment I started to think that maybe Carol was on my side, then she added.
"Where are your manners? You've got to chit-chat a little before eating demigods up!" Maybe if I buy some time...hmm
"So tell me girls what...uh ,horse shoes size are you?" Okay, so it wasn't the best chat I've had in my life, but hey! I was about to get eat up.
"Like, I was just thinking about that! I mean why can we just leave the job to Candy, but no! Carol likes to do the dirty part!" Linda glared at Carol and let me tell you she was good at it.
"That's part of the fun, you donkey brain!"
"You mean feet" I interrupted and got two way glances from Linda and Carol.
"Shut up you two!" Jess exclaimed "And you!" She turned to point me, you know just in case I forgot that they were here to kill me. "Stop it with the donkey jocks! We are high glass empousai!"
"That my mother is a what?!" Jess rolled her eyes.
"E-M-P-O-U-S-A-I!" At this point I probably should have stopped with the jokes but the world could be ending I couldn't stop being a sarcastic jackass.
" ' kay so you don't have the donkey brain after all"
"That's it!" That was the sing for killing. I don't know what a normal person would have done but I did what a person like me would have, I push Jess as hard as I could and it work.
The funny part is that I didn't even touch but instead a lighting of darkness hit he , sending her landing on her ass a few meters away. Don't ask me how I did it, all I know is that the pushing would have been easier because I didn't know who was dizzier me or Jess. After it apparently the empu-things reconsider if a sandwich was actually a better idea.
"But-but- how? She d-didn't smell-"
"Bad?" I cut Carol off who seemed now more shocked than me "I just happen to take a shower this morning that must be it"
That make Linda snap out of her trance. She decided to take care of the business by herself since Jess was just recovering from her fall and I got the feeling she was seeing stars.
"That's it! Am calling Candy!" I bitted down the urge to laugh. Maybe after all they weren't all that bad if their secret weapon was name Candy. I couldn't have been more wrong.
"Candy!" Linda yelled and a few seconds later the ground shook. Candy turned to be less sweet and more...lethal. She appeared from the shadow of the other building and at first I swear it was a puddle then I blinked.
"Holy mother of puddles!" Candy was hellhound and by hellhound I mean very big scary doggie not the type you ask Santa for.
"Candy is a gift from Lord Kronos!" Carol started to brag as is she was showing me her new phone. "He gave good gift, too bad he lost!"
By this time my brain cells where going crazy. I've never been good with analyzing info with the ADHD, dyslexia and all, but I felt like I could pass out any moment, all I hope for was that this was a really crazy dream; it wouldn't be the first time.
"Candy!" Linda said and I prayed to whoever was up there to stop her from saying those words. "Attack!"
I know that by this time you may probably think I'll stood up and fight like I did with Jess, maybe I would find a hidden force within me that I didn't know existed and burst at even bigger lighting of darkness, but let's just say I let my courage at home because I ran.
I ran for the door as hard as I could but since my Jedi powers drain me out and I just wasn't Flash it was pretty lame.
"That's it run demigod! Run!" Jess yelled who was now on her feet and a lot better. Then it all went blurry like a dream. I felt something pushing me by the arm and hitting the ground real hard. The pavement was hot and I smelled something salty in the air then I realize it was my arm, Candy's paw was on my right arm and it hurt.
"Get her off!" I screamed as I punch Candy as hard as I could on the paw but I was losing.
"Sure" Jess said as she shrugged like it was nothing. "Enough, Candy!" Linda screamed with a smile in her face and I sighed as Candy's huge paw retreaded back. I somehow scrambled to my feet only to find Linda, Carol, and Jess surrounding me again. "See girls! That was easier!" Linda exclaimed but Jess and Carol didn't seem to care less. "Shut up Linda! I just want the first bite!" Jess screamed and reached for my neck. I try to push her again but this time she just took me by the neck and lift me off the ground like I weighted nothing. "Oh Rosy, Rosy. I've got a admit you gave us trouble, you looked so unthreatening, but you got your tricks honey, too bad they won't save you this time" For a second I was afraid she may be right. All I could thing was that my lungs where burning and that I wouldn't get out of this one...until I saw the sled.
My first thought? But there're about four months left for Christmas. ThenI saw the golden sled had wheels, and Rudolf wasn't pulling it but two Pegasus, by that time I was truly convinced that I was going mad.
"Demigods!" Carol yelled and Jess drop me, apparently the demigods where like the magic police, oh well, I mean they were coming into battle in a chariot pulled by ponies, how bad could they be?
"They smell delicious!" Linda exclaimed which I would have found creepy if I wouldn't have been too busy trying to master the art of getting to my feet. All I could do was try to look up, try. I just saw a glance of two figures getting off the chariot, but I couldn't see if they were monster, or people, personally I prefer the second option.
"Wow, is that a girl?" Okay so the voice was human and judging from the level of intelligence of the comment one of them was a boy.
"No! Am thinking she is some sort-yes you genius she is a she!" Okay so both of them where guys and as the girl I had to put them into place.
"Just kill the damn things!" That made them react. I heard the clang of swords, the flooshes of arrows and the occasional splash of something I truly prefer it to remain as the X substance. I made out some hooves, sports shoes, and boots (weird combination) and off course my blood. While everyone was fighting all gladiator style, I must have looked pretty lame scrambling to me feet's like a baby.
"Wow, slow there, honey" A hand hold my left arm and save from falling back to the pavement. I look up to one of saviors, the one with the sport shoes, and I had to admit he was sort of hot. He had blond smooth looking hair, tan skin, golden eyes, but to be sincere what I notice more where his biceps. This is the part where I usually kiss him, of he kisses me, or at least I give him a "thanks" and a smile that blows him away, but all I gave him was a "Don't call me honey" and an irritated face, because am such an American sweetheart.
"Okay so the daughter of Aphrodite theory is off" He said with a typical "everything is cool" grin. "Am Alex" He extended his hand to help me up and after doubting a little I took it. Apparently he had ended up with the vampire donkey plague because when I got up there were no trace of my cheerleaders friends.
"How-how..."
"There aren't that bad actually" He sweep my arm around his neck and he almost made me blush but his friend (god bless him) ruin his move.
"You hardly kill one sunshine boy" At the far end of the roof boy number two was standing, he was wearing all black clothes and did looked intimidating with a black sword in hand. The idea of the two of them being brothers was out, why with the black messy hair and dark eyes, beside I highly doubted that under the kids leather jacket there were any bisects. "You okay?" He asked and it came into mind that I almost got my arm rip off but I just nodded. "Yeah"
"Well no offense but you don't look that way" He nodded to Alex "Let's get her to camp, shall we?" I thought of protesting since I was clueless about this camp but I decided that even hell was better than this place.
"Whatever kiddo" Alex started pushing me to the chariot and I let out a big sigh that I didn't realize I was holding. Then it crossed my mind that during the battle I didn't heard any bark.
"Candy" I murmured and Alex stared at me like I was crazy "What?" He asked but it was too late. Behind kid number two a shadow appeared only it took me a second to realize it wasn't a shadow.
"Nico!" Alex screamed and try to reach for his quiver but Candy already had charged and there was no way he would reach it on time, so without thinking almost as an instinct I stretch my hand and send a lighting of darkness into Candy's direction. This one bigger than the other one I had send to Jess and this one seem to drain me more because afterward everything went dark.
