Demigods on the Loose
Chapter 1: Problems
So, this is the sequel for When Fiction Becomes Fact. This is going to be a mega crossover, so I hope you like it. Also, there will be a TON of action-packed adventure in this one. Anyway, enjoy! P.S. This story is a few weeks before Alibi in Ashes comes into play.
It was just a regular rainy Tuesday as Nancy's eyes scanned over the newest issue of Detective Mania magazine. She was just getting to the age-old trick of looking for fingerprints on a keypad, when she heard a yell from outside. Nancy looked up briefly before her attention was brought back to the magazine. It was just her twin brother, Link, who was using a homemade scarecrow for sword practice. Nancy didn't know why Link would do something like that in the rain. She wouldn't be surprised if he caught a cold. That's what her father always told her when she was a little girl.
Maybe it's because of the weird stuff that's been happening lately.
As of late, ever since she and Link had found out that their mother was the goddess Hylia, guardian of the Triforce, they had been stalked by suspicious characters all over the place, even in the suburbs not too far from their home. Maybe Link felt that, since he was her brother, he should protect her from anything that might happen to her.
Twenty minutes later, Nancy heard the front door open, showing that Link had come back inside. She knew that Link was careful to place his shoes in the entryway ever since he had accidentally tracked mud through the house. He was prompt to clean it up, much to Hannah's relief. Ever since Nancy and Link had discovered the truth about each other, Link had taken the guest room as his residence for a time, until he and Ilia,( who was staying at George's house) would be able to find their way home.
Secretly, though, she didn't want him to leave. After all, she had only known him for a few short weeks, not eighteen years ,like they should have been. Nancy didn't think that she would be able to bear it if Link went back home. It might mean that she would never see him again.
Suddenly, she heard a neigh from outside. At first, Nancy thought that it was Epona, Link's horse. She brought that suspicion out of her mind, knowing that it couldn't be, since Epona was being taken care of at a nearby farm. Then, what was that? A few seconds later, Nancy could've sworn that she saw the clouds bulge a bit. Walking over to the window, Nancy squinted, just in time to see a horse in the clouds. And not a cloud one, either. It was a black steed with lightning squiggled all over it.
Not bothering to wait for her brother, Nancy quickly rushed downstairs and flung the front door open as she rushed out. Nancy came just in time to witness a whole herd of the cloud horses prancing through the gray masses. Suddenly, a freak thunderstorm blew up, sending Nancy scurrying hurriedly into the house. Nancy had her back against the door, breathing heavily with the discovery she had just made.
Hearing the commotion, her brother came hurrying downstairs.
"Are you alright?" he asked with concern laced into every word.
" Did you just see what I just saw?"
Eyes narrowing with confusion, Link peeked out the window to only see great, gray thunderheads closing in from the horizon. Link looked from Nancy to the clouds, wondering what Nancy had seen that had spooked her this much.
"I saw.. Horses, in the clouds."
Link stared at his sister in concern. He had no idea what Nancy was talking about, and was starting to get a little worried.
He was dragged out of his thoughts by their father's sedan pulling into the driveway. Two seconds later, he ran toward the house with his jacket over his head to shelter himself from the rain. As Nancy and Link held the door open for their father, Nancy could've sworn that she saw another horse in the clouds. To her satisfaction, Link had noticed it as well.
"Aren't you two going to greet your father, or stare into space?"
Once they had both greeted and hugged their father, they quickly looked back to the sky, only to see clearing skies and no mysterious horses. They both glanced at each other, asking with their eyes,
"What was that?"
OOXO
Two days later, Nancy had to go to a meeting to organize the Clue Crew, the group who would participate in the Clues Challenge in a couple of weeks. After the meeting adjourned, Nancy walked to her convertible. Once she was about to climb into the driver's seat, she noticed a strange man looking at her. Feeling slightly unnerved, Nancy turned the key only to find that the engine wouldn't start. Puzzled by this, she didn't notice the mysterious man creeping up behind her until she turned around.
Thinking quickly, Nancy jumped out of the way of the man's attempt to hit her with a steel pipe. Without a second thought, Nancy sprinted away, only to find that the man was still following her. When she finally reached the front door of her house, she leaned on the front door, taking in great gulps of air. To her horror, she saw that the man was still following her. She promptly ran inside and shut the door behind her. Suddenly, the door began shaking as the man attempted to get in.
"This guy just won't give up!"
Suddenly, she heard a howl and a grunt of pain as Wolf Link sank his teeth into the stalker's arm. Growling in annoyance, he managed to dislodge Link and grab his neck in his meaty hand. Adrenaline pumping, Nancy quietly opened the door, took the coat rack, and swung it at the man's head. A thump signified that the rack had met its target. With a groan, the man keeled over, unconscious.
With a sigh of relief, Nancy knelt down to check on Link, who had transformed back into a human, rubbing his neck and gasping.
"You okay?" Nancy asked in concern.
"I'm fine," Link replied, standing shakily up to his feet.
Never overlooking anything, Nancy bent down to make sure her stalker was really unconscious. When she pulled the hat off of the man's head so she could see if she recognized him, she gasped in fear as she realized that the man had only ONE EYE!
Well, so far so good! How do you like the story so far? I will be coming to Percy Jackson soon. I mean, someone has to tell Link and Nancy what the heck is going on. So, hang tight, and be patient.
