AN: K so this is my first story so no flames please! So it's about Will Solace and an OC and blah blah blah. I'll get on with the story now. Wish me luck!
Disclaimer: Yea I don't own PJO or HoO… It sucks… But I'm working on it! I do own the story plot though so YAY!
"Oh come now, don't run," the voice hissed. I obviously didn't listen and kept running from… from whatever that thing was. It was still dark out and the only noises were the sounds of my heavy breathing and the slishing sound of whatever was chasing me.
I turned into an alley and tripped on a rock. A knife flew out of its sheath on my hip and landed a few feet away from me. What the hell? Since when do I have a freaking knife with me? The slishing noises got closer and I began to panic. I got up and grabbed the knife and not a moment too soon, as my pursuer turned the corner. Now how do I explain it? It was some sort of humanoid snake lady with two serpent trunks instead of legs and its skin was green. And since that wasn't bad enough, she also was armed with an ax that was taller than me and a shield. I doubted I could fight it off with my knife. I'd need to get closer to do that.
She swung the ax and nearly took my head off, but I instinctively ducked. I hooked my knife around the ax and disarmed her. She looked at it unbelievably and roared in outrage. But I wasn't that lucky. She took out a sword and resumed the fight. Oh joy! (Note the Sarcasm.) She shoved me with her shield and I fell backwards and hit my head.
She came forward and held the point of the sword to my neck. "Niccce try demigod, but not good enough."
Suddenly, another voice called out from the darkness, "Skylar? Skylar?" I gulped. How did it know my name? The voice sounded familiar too…
I woke up to blinding lights. My mom stood by the window and frowned. "Come on Sky, do you really want to be late for your last day of school? Get ready. I'm waiting downstairs."
I groaned. Great, another day. At least it was the last. Then I would be free for the summer. This would be the first year since I was 5 that I would actually make it through a whole school year without getting expelled. Why? I don't know. The teachers seemed to have it out for me. Maybe it was the dyslexia, or the ADHD. Whatever. I was sick of all of the crap I got. I seriously couldn't wait for it to be over.
I climbed out of bed and dragged myself to the bathroom, where I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. Then I put on a pair of light blue jean short shorts and a navy blue v-neck. I brushed back my dirty blonde hair and I was ready. I grabbed my backpack and went downstairs, where my mom was waiting. I got an oreo pop tart, put on my black converse, gave her a hug and went out.
The walk from home to school took about 15 minutes so it gave me some time to think about things, like my dream, for instance. I'd been having that same dream every night for the past week and it seriously scared me. Was it some sort of message or just my paranoid mind? Probably the latter but I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen.
As I walked into school, I got many stares. Not the kind you would get if you were super pretty or popular, but the kind that pretty much says hold on to your wallet and watch where you step. I was used to it, being known as the school badass would get you those looks so what more could you expect? I got that reputation because I was always talking back to teachers and therefore getting detentions. But if you ask me, they deserve it.
I rolled my eyes and saw a familiar mess of curly hair, my one and only friend in this prison, Danny Johnson. Danny was a little bit taller than me and had some sort of problem with his legs that excused him from PE. He was so lucky. But that didn't stop him from pushing and shoving everyone out of the way and running when they had quesadillas for lunch.
He turned and saw me and grinned. "Hey Sky, actually made it? I'm pretty shocked," he said mockingly.
I glared at him but ended up laughing anyways. "Yea you have my mom to thank for that. She decided to get me up at the crack of dawn today," I groaned. He raised an eyebrow at me. "Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration. But still, any time before 11 is early."
He laughed. "Ahh, the truth comes out. Come on let's get to class. It's our last day of Greek Mythology."
"Ugh, fine." I groaned. So we went.
Don't ask me why we had a class for Greek Mythology, we just did. It was actually my favorite class, even though Mrs. Keller was out to get me. I don't know, I just felt some sort of personal connection to it, it was weird. And in my dream, the snake lady had called me demigod, which if I was correct, meant that one of my parents was a god and the other was mortal. I guess it could be possible, considering I only lived with my mom and she told me my dad left when I was a baby. But that can't be true. There's a reason why it's called mythology. I chided myself.
I sat in my seat and looked across the room at Danny, who smiled. I smiled back, but my smile dropped when Mrs. Keller walked into the room.
"Good morning class. Remember, summer hasn't started yet and we still have today to get through so I expect to have your full attention. Isn't that right Ms. Rocaine?"
I looked up at her glaring face. See, what did I tell you? She was out to get me. "Um yes Mrs. Keller. That's right." I looked at Danny who smirked at me, but not in the mean way.
"Good. Now that we have that cleared up, we can get down to business."
She searched something on her computer and then turned on the overhead projector to show us. I gasped and a few people around me gave me weird looks and snickered. Well what do you expect? The picture on the board was exactly the same as the snake monster from my dream. Mrs. Keller looked at me suspiciously then grinned evilly.
After the class was over (finally), I got my stuff and began to leave with Danny when she called me over. "Skylar, I would like to speak with you about your little outburst in class today."
Danny looked nervously at her and grabbed my arm. I looked at him confused. "I know she's crazy, but she won't actually kill me. I'll be fine Danny." I reassured him. He let go and I walked up to her. Danny walked out but I knew he was waiting by the door outside for me.
I watched him leave and shook my head, smiling. I turned around and nearly had a heart attack. Where Mrs. Keller once stood was the monster from my dream and the board… and it did NOT look happy.
"Uhh, Mrs. Keller?" I asked nervously.
"Oh sssilly child. It'll be fun killing you." Then she lunged at me with a sword in each hand.
AN: Ok… how was that? Please review and give me some feedback! Oh and she'll meet Will in the next chapter 3 hehe well just above 1000 words… I think that's pretty good for me.
