Sucked In
A/N: So I know I had two other stories, but I got a great idea, and I had to make a sure I made a story out of it! This is for my three best friends, who are just as crazy as I am about this series. Love you guys!
Disclaimer: I don't own the series that has currently cast my OTP into Tarturas. Rick Riordan, the master troll, does.
Leylanie's P.O.V
"Kendall Stewart, I swear to you if you sing that song one more time, I will kill you in your sleep." I vowed to my best friend. She laughed.
"SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND!" she sang louder, and Lexie and I groaned.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Lexie exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air. Kendall grinned.
"You guys love me." She said. I smiled.
"Yup!" I told her.
"GIRLS COME DOWN! THE SCHOOL BUS IS HERE!" Ms. Thompson yelled from downstairs. We grabbed our bags and ran downstairs.
"Bye Mrs. Thompson!" we yelled in unison.
"Whatever." She grumbled. I rolled my eyes. Honestly, that woman didn't want kids. She had adopted me when I was ten, and then Lexie and Kendall came together three months later, but they weren't sisters. I had practically grown up in an orphanage, but I had been pretty happy. Then Ms. Thompson had adopted me, a widow who was lonely, but she hated raising children. I think she realized how much work it really was, and she began to ignore me. Pretty soon, I kept complaining to her about how alone I was, and being the idiot she is, adopted Lexie and Kendall. It was a stupid choice for her, but great for me because now I had two companions. At first, we couldn't stand each other. We always fought. But then we slowly warmed up to one another, and now we were inseparable. Five years later, we practically have had to raise ourselves, but we were happy.
We sat down on the bus three to a seat, since the bus was always packed when we got on.
"Did you get the package?" Kendall asked me. I nodded, and rolled my eyes at her dramatics.
"Yup! I have it in my backpack." I told them. I pulled out a copy of the newest Rick Riordan book, The Mark of Athena. The three of us were insanely obsessed with The Percy Jackson series. In fact, that was what had brought us together. Once we found out about how much we loved it, we stayed up until three in the morning just talking about one book. We were currently about to read the best one yet.
"Oh crap. Never mind, we're at school." Lexie grumbled. Kendall and I sighed, really disappointed. The problem was, we only had one copy in which we saved for, so we had to read it aloud together.
"Yeah, my favorite place in the whole entire world!" Kendall said. The sad part was she wasn't being sarcastic. She really did enjoy school a lot. Probably because she was the smartest person in the school. She was already in advanced classes, and in High Honors. She constantly got awards. Lexie was the most creative one of the group. She was in band, choir, art club, and in the school newspaper. She had the best singing voice in the whole entire state. The class she excelled at was Creative Writing. Me, I was the athletic one. I was in girls' softball, soccer, and volleyball (not all at the same time of course). Right now I was in basketball, practicing five days a week for three hours. The only class I was really good at was P.E where I got to release my energy. I was ADHD and dyslexic. The funny part was, so was Kendall and Lexie, although they could control it much better than I could. Just ask my teachers.
"Only you Kendall." I said. We got off the bus, and stepped into the school. The minute we rounded the corner, my team immediately bombarded me.
"We play Lions tomorrow? Are you ready?" They screamed. I looked over and saw Kendall's friends take her, and Lexie's friends drag her away. I sighed, but gave my team mates my best pumped up face.
"Hell yeah! We are going to run them into the ground!" I yelled, pumping my fists. My team mates erupted into cheers. I longingly thought about the wonderful book in my bag, but said nothing.

Lexie's P.O.V
I plopped myself down on the stands and drank nearly a gallon of water. It was after school, and I had just sung for a strait hour, and my throat burned. The spring fest I was practicing for was going to kill me.
"Hey." A very tired Leylanie plopped next to me, her hair still wet from the showers. I had seen her running lines across the field. She was the fastest runner I knew, but she looked like she could drop dead. She took her water and drank it in one giant gulp.
"How was practice?" I asked with a smirk on my face. She glared at me.
"Fine, just a little tired is all." She responded. Just then, Kendall sat down next to us. She was the only one of us who looked fresh and energetic.
"Hey guys! Want to read?" She asked, already inching towards Leylanie's backpack.
"Why hello to you too." Leylanie chuckled.
"Sure! I've been itching to read it all day!" I said, nearly snatching the book out of Leylanie's hands. They scooted over towards me, and I took a deep breath.
"Well ladies, ready for the Percabeth reunion?" I asked. They nodded, their head looking about ready to fall off.
"Hell yeah! Now open it and let's get this show on the road!" Kendall exclaimed. I flipped the pages quickly, until I got to the first page of the book. I gasped when I looked down.
"Where the heck are the words?" Kendall gasped. Leylanie snatched to book out of my hands and flipped through the pages quickly.
"What the…they're all like this!" she exclaimed angrily.
"We were scammed!" I growled.
"I knew the cashier was a cheap son of a bitch!" Kendall yelled, which surprised me, because Kendall never cussed like that. Leylanie shook her head, clearly mystified.
"Twenty five dollars wasted on this piece of crap!" I said. Kendall grabbed the book.
"This has to be a prank! When I grabbed the book, it was full of words!" She exclaimed. She stood up, slamming the book on the bench.
"Freaking A!" Leylanie yelled, standing up as well. I stood up and stretched.
"Well I guess we return the book." I told them. They agreed, and I went to grab the book. But when I went to grab it, my hand went right into the page.
"Uh, Lexie…"
"I know!" I yelled. I tried pulling my hand out, but I kept sinking in deeper. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE! HELP ME!" I screeched. They rushed to my aid, pulling at me. They grabbed the book on the edges, but that was a mistake. Their hands started to sink in as well.
"AHHHH!" We all screamed, as our bodies were sucked into the book of death.
The world went black.
A/N: THAT WAS SO FUN! I didn't have anyone to fangirl with at school, until I saw a girl reading The Lost Hero. It turns out she is obsessed with the series. Then later on in class, another girl saw her reading it and was like, "Oh my god, I thought I was the only one!" so yeah, in short it was pretty much the best day of my whole entire existence. Any whore, review, review, review!
