Mystery Demigod

Alex thought he was dead when he heard the evil shrill cry. He remembered hearing that noise right before his father was attacked. They were out camping laughing telling jokes and just having a great time. Then it happened. As fast as lightning the animal struck. It tackled Alex's father and they both started fighting. Luckily, his father pulled out a shiny golden knife and stabbed the ugly creature before it killed him. When it finally went away Alex ran to his father and checked his wounds. The animal had shredded his father's chest so badly it didn't even look like a chest. At the sight of the wounds Alex fainted.

The evil shrilled cried for a second time and Alex came back to his senses. It had sounded like it came from a distance, but when he heard it a third time he decided that the creature that had killed his father was, was coming for him really, really fast. He had no idea what to do, he was frozen with fear! What could he do? He stood there for what seemed like forever, but he knew only a few seconds had really past. The evil cry went up again, this time a lot closer. He thought for a few more seconds, he was thinking of what he might taste like to the monster. Then it hit him, he slowly inched his hand toward his pocket, and pulled out a knife. When he saw the blade he had a flash back.

He was back by his dad's bedside holding his father's hand. Alex's eyes were red from crying; he couldn't help but think that his father was being selfish. Alex was only ten years old at the time and didn't really understand what was happening, but he did know that his father was leaving him forever. Alex begged his father not to go, Jason said "father, please don't leave me here alone, if you don't go I'll be a better son…I promise." "Sorry son but it is my time, I must go," his father replied, "but take this, and only use it in times of distress." His father pulled out the six inch blade and handed it to his son. "Yes father, I shall use this to take down our enemies, I WILL make you proud," Alex said. He waited for his father to respond, but he never did. BOOM! Alex's consciousness slammed back into his body like a truck running into him at 20 mph. he stumbled back, looked at his legs, and tried to move them. They worked! He was unfrozen, and at that moment Alex began to run.

He ran in the woods for hours not knowing where to go. His mind was racing twice as fast as he was running. As he was running he thought that he who was only sixteen years old was no match for a huge evil monster. All he could remember of the monster was that it was the size of a pick-up truck and it had blood red eyes. He blocked those thoughts out. He needed some place to think, he was so tired and cold he could die. He ran ten more feet and feel into a pool of water. As he hit the water he had a new surge of strength. He jump out of the water and started to run again. This time he didn't slow down, he felt great, he had no idea why but he felt like he could lift a truck. He ran for what seemed like hours until he heard voices. He was glad to hear someone else talk besides himself. They sounded about his age, so he silently crept towards them. He was sure he could hear the voices right in front of him but where they actually were coming from he had no idea. He took two more steps and tripped on a trip wire. The voices fell silent and the next thing he knew he was face down while a spike threw his chest. Alex cried out it pain, and the other kids came out and stared at him with open mouths. There was a boy who looked sixteen maybe seventeen. He wore a bet up orange T-shirt and some black jeans. He had dark black hair and green eyes. The next person he saw was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. She had long blond curly hair with dazzling gray eyes. She wore an orange T-shirt, (hers wasn't as beat up as the boys) and some blue jeans. Alex didn't have time to admire her because he was dying. The girl yelled, "Percy…I think we just killed a demigod!" Alex didn't know what they were talking about, but he was in so much pain he didn't care. The boy the girl called Percy was still frozen as if seeing Alex on the spike made him frozen with fear. "PERCY!" The girl yelled, "Snap out of it, we need to help him." The boy still didn't move. Alex started to scream, "Please I can't die, HEAL!" He said it over and over! Alex wasn't thinking anything would happen but seconds later he started to be pulled off the spike. He thought it was one of the kids pulling him off, but when he looked over the kids were just standing there looking at him in awe. When he was off the spike the wound started to close up, the wound closed up fully and Alex touched his chest but it felt fine. Alex stared at them for a couple of seconds, and then did what anyone would do, he fainted.

When he woke up he was on a cot with the blonde haired girl looking at him. He sat up, and asked "who are you guys?" The girl said she was Annabeth Chase, and the boy said he was Percy Jackson.
