Leo and Piper were just trying to Have a nice quiet day, trying to ignore the fact that they couldn't read anything the teacher was writing. But no, They couldn't have a good day. Not even a tolerable one. So, they decided to try and live.
It all started with the date. It was December 21, 2012, the very day the world was predicted to end. Piper, Leo, Thalia, Nico, Jason, Reyna, Gwen, and Dakota we all sitting in their classes. Piper and Leo had Math, Thalia had reading, Nico had History, Jason and Reyna had Science, Gwen had Greek (Oddly), and Dakota had Gym. It had all started wonderfully, And ended with the usual. Almost dying. But that happens every other day, so why would they be surprised? Well, because No one, not even Chiron, Had heard of her. Only Aphrodite. And she sure wasn't going to be much help.
Piper sat, trying to figure out, what the Hades H=67L, meant. Leo, wasn't even trying. He was fiddling with a robotic mouse, that he claimed to have built out of two wires, three bolts, and a little clay. Needless to say, no one believed him. After five minutes of Piper's hopeless decoding, and Leo hitting a kid in the head with the mouse, which had suddenly delveloped the ability to fly, The thumping began.
At first, everyone thought it was an earthquake, and began running around in mass panic. Then the Teacher, Mrs. Wellsworth, rolled her eyes and responded, "It was just the chairs upstairs, now get back to work."
Piper glanced at the clock. 20...30...40...50...60... The thumping was still going. And it seemed to be getting louder. Or closer. The children began running again, and this time, the teacher had nothing to say. She called the room upstairs, to ask if they were moving desks, or filing cabinets. "No," They had responded, "Are you watching a movie or using hammers?" That's how loud the thumping was. Hammers.
Leo searched his looking for the mini camera he had found deep in the walls of Beckendorf's bed, after pushing many buttons. He attached it to the flying mouse, and Quite easily threw it out the window without the teacher noticing. Leo pulled out the screen, which showed live video feed. Discreetly checking it every five seconds, Leo hid it in his pocket. He saw a large shape moving this way, though it was difficult to make out. Suddenly, without warning, The screen went blank. He banged it several times, but it was no use, for the camera had stopped working. But, not before he saw the slight image of Beautiful blonde curls, matched with an ugly green face.
Leo turned to Piper, wondering if she saw. But it was Leo, who hadn't seen the horrifying scene now lying around them. Students everywhere, Kissing. Every person in the class, was kissing. Even the teacher, who seemingly developed an odd attraction to the wall next to her. Only Leo and Piper remained unaffected. With confused looks, they stood. Piper Leaned against the wall, a curious, yet disgusted look covering her face. Leo grabbed her arm and bolted to the door.
Standing in the hallway, in a ready battle stance, were Thalia, Nico, Jason, Reyna, Gwen, and Dakota.
Thalia's Shield was out, and her bracelet spear ready to stab. Her Dark hair was messily pulled back, while her Bright blue eyes seemed to be assuming the worst. She had a black leather jacket, with a Black T-shirt, a Dark blue skirt with black and white striped tights underneath, Finished with her Boots.
Nico had his Stygian Iron sword, Dangerously close to his head. His black hair was uneatly flopping. His Black eyes, Guessing that whatever this unbearable force was, It would be hard to stop. His Aviator Jacket flapping in a wind that wasn't there. He had on some random concert shirt, and Black jeans.
Jason's blonde hair stuck up with electricity. His blue eyes traveling, counting the number of Demigods in the hall. He had his Lance, Casually at his side. He had a dark blue hoodie, a pair of blue jeans, and sneakers.
Reyna Looked ready to run, with one leg behind, ready to push off the ground if needed. Her dark hair was neatly braided, and her Dagger strapped to her arm. She was still wearing her camp shirt, she couldn't bear not to have anything purple on, a Black and pink jacket, and jeans.
Gwen was wearing a rainbow of colors, which suited her. She had a Gladius strapped to her back, Her Dark blonde hair in a high ponytail, whilst her multicolored eyes looked as if the ceiling was about to colapse,- And she was expecting it.
Dakota's brown hair flopped uselessly, while his red stained mouth uttered cryptic words. His purple eyes wild, he wandered aimlessly, like a lost puppy. He still had his sword though, but not for long. He suddenly remembered his Kool-aid, and dropped it with a clang, spilling red all over his white shirt.
Piper, though, Leo was impressed. Her long, choppy, Chocolate brown hair fell straight, just below her shoulders. Her stunning eyes, seeming to Pause on green, letting flecks of blue and brown show through. Her chin was held high, as if she'd be proud, to die right here and now, in this hallway, with her friends. She had her snowboarding jacket as always, a Purple tye-dyed T-shirt, skinny jeans, and purple boots. To Leo, it was the image of Beauty.
Leo looked like the usual. His green many pocketed coat was worn over an old crumpled shirt. He had an old pair of jeans and beat up tennis shoes. He was sure his hair didn't look all to great eiether, or his plain brown eyes? He was nothing compared to her, or even anyone else in the hallway.
A Deep rumbling began. the ceiling was shaking, with pieces crumbling down. They all began to run for the door, as the ceiling colapsed. Gwen grabbed a couple sheilds from the nearby display in the Greek room, and tossed them to the other Demigods. The demigods used them as umbrellas, running and jumping, trying to aviod the falling debris. Reyna grabbed Jason's arm, and just nearly helped him avoid getting squashed, Piper did the same for Leo, helping him escape a falling display case. All Hades broke loose, as the demigods all helped each other, Balancing on top of the mess. Five minutes later, everything was still, except for the eight heroes, who survived through all the chaos, breathing heavily.
