Percy's POV
At The School Pool...
I was in my school pool again I cant explain it but it just feels right when I'm in the water. I can think when I'm in water. Just then I went up because I had to get air.
Once I broke the service I herd Grover (my best-friend) saying," And he's alive! Haha!" Grover clapped "Percy Jackson is a beast! You're a beast, man!" Grover announced.
"How long was that?" I asked. "Seven minutes," He said, looking at the clock.
"Seven minutes?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Man, that's ridiculous. How do you do it?" Grover asked.
"I dunno. I just like being in water." Percy dried himself up. "It's the one place I can think."
"Mm-hmm," Grover said.
In The Hallway...
"Ah, I wish I could spend all day underwater instead of this place," I groaned
"Mm-hmm; it's like high school without the 'Musical,'" Grover agreed.
"Every day is the same thing," Grover said, watching two people fight behind us.
English Class...
I wasnt paying much attention as the woman wrote something I couldn't read because of my dyslexia on the chalkboard. The woman took a surveying look around the room.
"Good morning. I'm Ms. Dodds, your substitute English teacher. Can someone please explain what Shakespeare was trying to convey in this line from Othello? Percy Jackson?" Ms. Dodds called.
I stared at the board in confusion because all the words were floating around.
"Well?" Ms. Dodds said expectantly.
"I'm sorry, I don't know," I gave up. I could not read it to save my life.
"Anybody else?" Ms. Dodds questioned. Then a girl with brown hair and gray eyes raised her hand she was waring a blue hoodie and some jean shorts all-in-all she was preety cute.
"Annabeth?" asked glaring at her like she did something wrong. She must be a new student what could she of done wrong?
Percy's Apartment...
"Hey Mom, I'm home!" I called as he stepped into the building.
"I'm up here, honey!" My mom called.
"Hi Honey," Mom said, "so how was school today?"
"The usual," I replied, giving her a small kiss on the cheek.
"I think this, uh, dyslexia thing is getting worse," I said, picking up a book, looking at it, then putting it down, I still could not read what it said.
"Oh, why do you think that?" Mom questioned.
"I dunno, maybe it's the ADHD," Percy suggested. "Mom, I thought this school was supposed to make things better."
"Percy I know how hard this is for you. Someday, it'll all make sense," My Mom said.
"Really? When? Hmm? Tonight? Tomorrow? When?" I Asked. I felt kinda bad for being so rude to my Mom but I was just so mad and annoyed and speking of annoying...
"Woman!" Gabe called.
"Hi, Gabe," My Mom greeted. She should get so much better than that pig.
"Where's my beer?"
"It's in the fridge."
"So what? It's supposed to magically fly out of the icebox and into my hand?" I gave an "I-don't-know-maybe" gesture.
As Sally walked past him, Gabe laughed a bit and smacked her bottom. I felt mad he could not do that to my Mom so I said, "Oh, come on. Do you have to do that right here? It's disgusting. We're in a kitchen."
Mom put Gabe's beer on the table. "Yeah, real charmer ya got there," Percy said as she walked by.
"Show some respect, okay? That's my mom right there," I continued pointing at Mom who made an 'oh no not again' face. Gabe stared at me. Then he stood up (wow must of taken alot of effort from him). He walked up to me and thudded my head against the wall, "This is my house. You show some respect."
Then he walked away. "Why do you stay with that man? He smells like a sewer. He sleeps till noon everyday and he can't even hold a job. Why do you stay with him?"
"Look, Percy, he's helped us in ways you just don't understand," Mom replied.
"You're right; I don't understand," I said. "I just don't get it." I went out to the fire escape needing time to think. I remember coming out here with my mom when I was little and listing to everything in the city, before Gabe, Before I hated school, Before everything went bad.
Museum Fieldtrip...
I climbed up the stairs with Grover. Then I herd a voice in my head ' Be ready Percy Everything is about to change everythig' I turned around to see a man standing on the sidewalk just watching me then a bus came and he was just...gone.
"There are twelve Olympian gods. The Big Three are the brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. They attained power by overthrowing their father, Kronos, by chopping him into little pieces. The three gods have been rivaled ever since, always arguing, always threatening war," Mr. Bruner said he was the one teacher I did'nt hate. "On several occasions, they would come down to Earth, and – how shall I say this?" He continued.
"Hook up?" Grover suggested, earning a laugh from the class.
"They would hook up with mortals. The children of these beings were half-god, half-human. Can anyone tell me what they were called? Percy?" Mr. Burner said. Grover nudged me and he looked back at the teacher. "Oh, I'm sorry, what, Mr. Brunner?" I asked taking out my ear phones.
"What is the proper name for the offspring of a human and a god?"
"Demigod," I answered.
"Exactly. And many grew to be great heroes like Hercules and Achilles. Can you name another? I'll give you a hint. You have something in common." directed his attention to the portrait behind him.
I looked up to see the letters rearranged themselves into readable words: Perseus defeats Cetus. "Percy," I muttered under my breath still in shock that I could read it. "Perseus?" I spoke a little louder.
Grover looked at me as if I just did what he was wating for me to do.
"Correct,"Our teacher said. He steered his chair to another stone tablet. "Now, over here, we have a depiction of Hercules defeating the Nemean Lion. Hercules killed the beast with his bare hands and took the skin as a trophy. This was the first of Hercules's labors…"
Then Mrs. Dodds came behind me and said, "Percy Jackson we need to talk."
"Ok." I said and followed her into the room.
She walked in there first then me, I looked back and said ,"So am I in trouble or something?" But when I looked at where she should be she was'nt there. "Hello ?" I asked.
"Where is it?" She said in a voice that sounded like nails on a chalkboard.
"Wo wait how did you get up there?" Then she changed into some sortave monster tipe thing and swooped down and picked me up.
"Where is the lightning bolt?" She asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" I said. But just then Mr. Burner,Grover, and the new girl from english class, oh what was her name...Annabeth ,yes, Annabeth. They all came barging through the door.
"Percy!" Grover shouted.
"Whoa!" I said because when you're teacher just turned into a monster and you are about 40 feet up in the air about to fall you get a little freaked out. Then shot up higher in the air.
"Release him!" Mr. Burner commanded.
"You!" or whatever she was growled.
"Release him or I swear I'll tear you to pieces!" He commanded again. She considered the situation and swiftly dropped towards the ground, only to release me and fly away out the window.
"Whoa, okay. I should be on medication," I huffed walking back and forth, muttering curses under my breath.
Annabeth jogged up to me and asked, "Percy are you ok. Did she hurt you?" I backed up because A( I did'nt know her that well and B( She might turn into a monster too. Then I started ranting again,
"Whoa, 'kay, wait. Did that thing just really happen? Did she just turn into that thing?" I shouted.
"A Fury," explained. "Concealed in our school; I should've known."
"Wait, a Fury? What's a Fury? And why did you say you could tear her to pieces?" I was hyperventilating by now.
"What did she want from you?" Grover calmly asked.
"She said something… Something about me stealing a lightning bolt…," I recalled,thinking it was ridicules and that this was all a dream I would wake up from.
Mr. Burner, Grover, and Annabeth looked at each other. "They've found him. He's in danger," Annabeth bluntly stated.
"Who found me?"
"He's no longer safe."
"Okay, where should we move him?"Grover asked.
"We have no choice. The Camp."
"Huh? What camp? Look, I'm standing right here!" I was desperate. "Percy liston you need to come with us ok?" Annabeth asked.
"What why?" I asked.
"Please." She said and put a hand on my arm.
I just nodded. I herd and Grover talking so I walked over to them with Annabeth behind me.
"They think he's the Thief. There's no where safe on heaven and earth for him now. Percy, take this to defend yourself. It's a powerful weapon. Guard it well. Only use it in times of severe distress." He handed me a...pen?
"This is pen. This is a PEN!" I said, shaking it up and down so he could see it. "Take him to his mother, and DON'T let him out of your sight. Annabeth, you go with them I'll meet you at the camp," said then left the room. "Come on Percy COME ON!" Grover yelled as we went to Percy's apartment.
At Percy's Apartment...
"Mom...Mom we need to go now" I said as we walked in.
"Hey ,hey ,hey cant you see that she's servicing me and my friends?" Gabe said. Stupid Gabe I have had enough.
"Hey don't talk about my Mom like that you fat ugly pig." I said angerlly.
Gabe got up and pushed me against the wall and started hitting me. So Grover came behind him and hit him with his cruches and he fell down unconscious. "Hey nice one man." I said to Grover.
"Thanks now Sally lets go." Grover said.
On The Highway...
Somehow Grover ended up in the back, My Mom driving, I was in shot-gun and Annabeth was in the bake with Grover. WAIT ANNABETH?
"Annabeth not to be rude but why are you here?" I asked the girl I never met.
"I'm going to camp just like you." She said.
"What camp and why are you going?" I asked. Wow she really is preety. SHUT UP HEAD stupid ADHD.
"I'm special just like you." She said.
"Special what am I crazy or something?" I asked.
"Sally I think this is you're department." She said. My Mom looked at me and said. "Percy this is about you're father." I turned my head to look out the window.
Later...
My Mom had stopped talking a while ago so we stopped off somewhere and so I could switch seats with Grover. After a while of hearing Grover and my Mom talk I thaught I should get to know Annabeth.
"How do you know Grover and my Mom?" I asked.
"Well Chiron sent me to keep an eye on you." She said.
"Wait who's Chiron?" I asked.
"Well he's-"
"Sally watch out!" Grover screamed as a cow flew in front of our car and we slid off the road upsise-down into a ditch.
"OW-Annabeth,Mom,Grover you ok?" I asked.
I got a 'yes' from Mom and a 'ya' from Grover.
"Annabeth, Annabeth?" I asked worried. I herd a grown coming from out side the car.
I hurried over to that side of the car."Annabeth?" I asked again. I herd my named being called in a small voice.
"Grover, Annabeth is out there we have to get out there." I said. "Wait why you taken you're pants off? Wo Wo you're half donkey?" I asked ok this hast to be a dream I am so dreaming. "No, I'm half goat now come on." Then he kicked the window and it broke. "Watch out guys there's glass, there's glass." He repeated. Once I got out I saw Annabeth's limp body laying a few feet away. I ran to her.
"Annabeth are you ok?" I asked helping her up.
"Ya Ya I'm fine Percy come on." She said trying to get up but fell.
"Here I took her arm and wrapped it around my shoulder.
"Hurry up guys that things getting closer." Grover yelled. So we being Mom,Grover,Me, and me pretty much caring Annabeth. Once we were over the fence. I saw a gate and ran to it. I got through but my Mom could not.
"Mom come on what are you doing?" I asked.
"You have to go I cant get through." She said.
"Mom I'm not leaving you." I siad.
"You have to you're ment to." She said those were the last words she siad before she was taken by the minotaur and was gone in a flash of gloden dust. I started to set Annabeth down but she said. "No Percy you're safe here don't go outside of this gate the minotaur cant hurt you here." She said drifting into unconsciousness. Then she did go unconscious in my arms. This thing killed my Mother, and hurt Annabeth I've known her for a day but it feels like I have known her my whole life. So I ran out of the gate.
"Percy the Pen click it." I herd Grover telling me what to do. So I clicked the pen and it changed into a...sword? Well here goes nothen so I ran to the minotaur but the sword was not working but I saw him ram into a tree and he left his horn jammed into it. So I grabbed it and jabbed it through it's ribs. It left in golden dust. I ran to Annabeth and picked her up bridal-stile and followed Grover to the what he called...the infirmary and set her down on one of the beds.
Later That Night...
"Perc you need sleep she'll be there when you wake up." Grover said. I had been by Annabeth's side for about 2 and a half houres just watching her.
"Grover I'm fine ok I'm fine." But then all of a suden pain shot up my arm. Grover trotted up with a worried look on his face he looked at my arm and muttered 'poisen' then I herd him yelling at someone to get something called nectar. Then I blacked-out.
