This was an idea i got thanks to my friend PhoenixFire53 who is writing one that is similar in its own ways...similar gods/goddesses.
Brandon:Thanks for reading please enjoy my life threatening story*sarcastically*
Me: Well it can't be too safe for you now can it? Anyway enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anyone other than Brandon Phil(who is indeed a satyr) and a new daughter of Ares hehehehe she won't come in for awhile though...
I was normal...well I thought I was... I lived safely for around twelve years of my life. That all changed when I turned thirteen.
"Brandon. Your mother and I have something we need to tell you..." My "father" said to me. I remember this vividly. We were on a camping trip to Washington... Not the city the state. We did this trip annually so I wasn't surprised when it was brought up. We had finally arrived at out destination when my step-father started.
"What. Tom." I said. I had no respect for the man. He was a slacker and always joked around in a serious situation...I was surprised he kept a straight face for me.
"You can't live with us anymore...you aren't normal..." That was three years ago...and I have been living on the streets of Nashville going to freshman year. I am fifteen and I still had no idea why my mother, who had loved me from when I was a baby, had given me away.
"Mr. Fleming. Care to explain this quote?" I looked at the board, which had letters swimming out of order. Once things settled down enough I could make out the words, '...Be...Not to be'
"I know what it says...I don't know what it is supposed to mean." I said honestly, understanding that I took a bit of time to think of the answer. Mrs. Hanson nodded disappointed and continued class.
"Tomorrow Class, we are taking a trip to the Parthenon. Please prepare a group and a list of things you will find suitable for your group...we will be writing a paper on what we learn!" The class groaned and the bell rang letting us go for the day.
"Hey man!" My good friend Phil came up smiling. Phil was lanky and uncoordinated but he is a fast runner when you get him going. He has really curly hair that he likes to keep under a hood but the teachers in the school make him take it off for respect.
"Hey Phil! You excited for the trip tomorrow?" I asked. Phil looked wary for a second then said replied,
"Of course! I love Greek Mythology!" As we both walked out of the building a hand grabbed Phil from behind and threw him into the grass next to the stairs we had just been walking on.
"Hey there Phil. I hear that you know a lot about that Greek crap...care to help me out and write me a paper?" I stood in between Butch and Phil making sure to keep far enough out of Butch's reach. He lunged forward at me and I avoided easily making him really angry.
"Why are you so damn fast?" he yelled at me. I shrugged and gestured to Phil behind my back for him to leave before Butch can get ahold of me. He got up and sprinted away as fast as he could. Pretty fast for an uncoordinated person. I kept my eyes on Butch as he lunged at me again to which I dodged by grabbing a branch in the tree above me and swung my legs up to sit in it.
"Get down here so I can kick your ass!" Butch yelled. I stuck my tongue out at the bigger boy and smiled as I ran through the trees skipping from branch to branch as easily as if it were the ground. Soon as I saw Phil I dropped down using my knee's to brace my fall and started running next to him.
"Hey. Butch is gone." Phil jumped and said
"OH GODS! You scared me!" I laughed and we stopped sprinting. Not two seconds after we did, Phil suddenly stopped walking, turned around, saw something that I had no idea what it was, and started sprinting again grabbing my arm to make me follow.
"What The Frak Is That THING?" I cried sprinting with all my might to keep up with Phil.
"That 'thing' would be a chimaera... It probably picked up your scent...damn we aren't ready yet...come with me." He kept running straight towards an older building.
"Not like you're giving me any other choice but to follow..." I muttered. He dragged me over and forced me to watch as he fiddled with a few light switches. All I saw in that time was a lion running at me...with the paws of a eagle...and the tail of a snake...
"Is that thing the Chimaera you were talking about?" I asked him as he finally figured out the lights.
"Yeah, now get over here quickly." I followed his instructions and he presented me with a bow and arrow.
"Shoot it straight through the front of the head... Leave no traces 'cause I know that Echidna will not be happy with us..." I didn't question what he was talking about, took the bow, slung the quiver full of arrows around my shoulders and under my arm and nocked an arrow. When I had a clear shot to the head I pulled the string back and released causing the string to strike the inside of my wrist.
"OW!" I yelled after the arrow struck the beast. As I rubbed my now red wrist, I watched the monster turn to dust in front of me.
"What the..." I trailed off looking at Phil. He sighed.
"I was right...we need to get you to Long Island..." He went out of the building, dragging me behind him, and took out his cell phone. I looked around and saw that everything became slightly more detailed. I could see all the leaves in the trees, not just one bunch but all the leaves that are in that bunch. I could hear the animals and smell all the different flowers.
"Uh...Phil?" I said kinda confused. There was a small car following us... It was old and beat up.
"What?" He looked at me.
"Why is there a car following us?" He looked behind him and said,
"Well, that takes care of our ride..." I followed him as he walked over to the car.
"I never expected you to be the one to pick us up." He said as he got in. I did the same and noticed that the driver was a younger man, not thirty but not twenty either.
"Brandon this is Percy. He saved the world ten years ago." I looked at Phil, to Percy, then back to Phil.
"Uh...Hi? I have no idea whats going on..." I said really confused. One minute I'm on my way home from school and the next I'm sitting in a beat up old car with the man who supposedly saved the world when I was five.
"Hang on tight Brandon...the ride is a bit rough for those who've never been in a flying car before. It will get better over time." I nodded and braced myself for the ride. We flew for hours and I had fallen asleep halfway through the flight. I woke up to yelling and a few loud noises.
"What the heck were you thinking? Taking the flying car, You know Zeus is not your biggest fan! Why risk your life?" A woman's voice, who sounded technical yet caring, came.
"Who else was supposed to pick him up? You? Your pregnant! And Chiron? HE'S IN A FLIPPING WHEEL CHAIR WHEN HE ISN'T IN HIS NORMAL FORM!" I sat up and the fighting stopped immediately.
"How are you feeling?" The woman came over. She looked to be about Percy's age and was very pretty. She had the swollen belly to say she was indeed pregnant.
"Fine...I always sleep in an inclosed area when its in the air... airplanes and the likes...it happens." the woman shook her head with a smile, her long blonde hair swaying gently.
"That's what all you young half-bloods say when we pick you up in the car." I tilted my head.
"Half-Blood?" I said confused.
"Yes thats what you are. A half-blood. We just don't know what God or Goddess is your father or mother." Percy explained.
"By the way, I am Annabeth. I am Percy's wife." She looked at Percy who blushed and put his hand on her shoulder. I nodded and said,
"I'm Brandon Flemings. It's nice to meet you." I stood up and stretched my back.
"Where am I?" I asked after a pause.
"You are in the big house. Little brat." I looked towards the voice and saw a heavy set man with a hawaiian t-shirt on and he smelled like grapes.
"Um...where is the big house's location?" I asked still not getting what the man was playing at.
"You are at Camp Half-blood. The home of Demi-Gods." A man in a wheel chair came in.
"Ah Chiron thanks for finally joining. Maybe after orientation we can play a round of Pinochle... You have yet to see what I am capable of playing." The man challanged the other one in the wheel chair.
"We will see Mr. D. We will see."
READ AND REVIEW!
Brandon:Who is Mr. D anyway?
Me: You will find out, right Percy?
Percy: Don't remind me...he still hates me...
