Okay guys so this is my first fan fiction, so it's a little rough. I'm not an excellent writer like some others. So here goes nothing..

Disclaimer: I do not own any PJO characters. They all belong to Rick Riordan, obviously. I own Matt, Justin, Katerina, and all the other characters that are not in the PJO series.

P.S.: I published this chapter with bad spelling and grammar on my first go. I've edited this chapter, though it's been more than a year since I've worked on it. I'm pretty sure I've fixed everything.

Matt's POV

I'm running through Manhattan as fast as I can. I look behind me and see a giant man-beast chasing after me. I wasn't sure what to call it. A kid pulled me behind a car and the beast went on. "Thank God." I said looking at the shaggy haired kid. "Dude, are you okay?" He said while looking at my ankle. I had just realized it was sprained. I turned around and saw a car flying towards me. I woke up.

I sat there rubbing my eyes. "Wow, what a crazy dream...". My mom walked into the room. "Honey, did you say something?" She looked concerned "Uh.. It was nothing, mom.. Just erm.. Talking to myself. You know me." "Okay if you say so. Get up or your gonna be late for your last day of school" I got out of bed and brushed my teeth and put some clothes on.
I did a mirror check and I looked... Pretty decent.

All I thought about that day was that crazy dream. Who was that mystery kid? Why did he even save me? What was that thing and what did he want? And did it mean something?
It seemed more real every time I thought about it, though that could never happen.

Everything got weird at the last class of the day- gym. We always jog along the New York County trail. Its like living out in the country, you've got your old bridges, steep hills, cattle ranches, and redneck cabins. We had just crossed the first bridge and we were coming upon a cattle ranch and the first thing I saw in that pasture, heading straight for me, was the giant beast from my dream. "Guys! run!" I yelled as it was approaching. We all started running as fast as we could. When we were back at the school, I realized me and my best friend Justin were the only two left. We ran faster and got to my apartment. My Step-dad, Bill, was there. Justin looked at my mom with a concerned look on his face "Mrs. Collins, we have to go. now." My mom completely understood what he was saying and the three of us ran out to the car.
I still didn't know where we were going. Mom and Justin were too busy freaking out to answer me. I had a feeling I wouldn't be staying at my own home for awhile.
