Hey guys! Mythology Rose here! This is the first chapter of my first story so I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO! Rick Riordan does!
Until just recently, I had a perfectly normal life with a perfectly normal family, friends, and home. My parents were happily married (still are, of course) and a younger (but really annoying) brother.
Here's how my life-changing experience went.
My name is Anastasia Robin. I know, I know. It's a ridiculous name. Anastasia is a mouth-full so most people call me Tasi. My hometown is Roswell, New Mexico. I don't know if you recognize the name or not but it's the place where a U.F.O. possibly crashed years and years ago. So now main street is covered with alien gift shops and the street lamps are shaped like alien heads and- here's the awesome part- the McDonald's there is shaped like a U.F.O! How cool is that? Where else can you find a McDonald's shaped like a U.F.O? Nowhere! (At least from what I know.)
Anyway, I'm 13 and in the 8th grade. I have dark blonde hair and an interesting color of eyes. They're a bluish-greenish-grayish shade and I can never settle on just one color. It's never blue or green or gray. It always has to be all three. My life is the same as any other girl, really. I go to school and do my work. I almost always get good grades. Scratch that. I always have good grades. I even got straight A's recently, making me and everyone in my family happy.
Roswell isn't a horrible town. It's not too big and it's not too small. My school is pretty much the same. I have plenty of friends there too. Over all, I enjoy school. My family lives in a nice house. Again, it's not too big and not too small.
One day, I was in gym class, (the worst class ever!) when I noticed something was wrong. One of the "Popular Jerks" as I liked to call them was acting even stranger than usual. Her skin was a greenish color instead of its usual tan and instead of her gorgeous dark brown hair it seemed to have a sickly green color to it as well. And I swear I heard hissing noises coming from her direction. The girl's name was Gladys. Little did I know it was the last I would ever see of Gladys in her human form.
She came over to me for the usual "Make Fun of Tasi Time" while we were all lined up for stretches.
"Hey Dino Dung," she said with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes. "How does that insult even make since? What is even dinosaurish about me?" I asked. "And where did dung come from?"
I thought I heard her hiss again.
Our teacher, Miss Redwood, gave us a look that told us to be quiet. Gladys didn't want to be quiet though. Instead, she started hissing louder.
"Gladys, please be quiet," Miss Redwood said with an exasperated sigh. She may have been the teacher of my least favorite class, but she was definitely my favorite teacher.
All of a sudden Gladys's hair started moving in a weird way. Not a natural way like when your hairs blowing in the breeze. This was the exact opposite of natural. Her hair was lifting by itself. Then I realized that it wasn't her that was hissing. It was her hair.
And then I saw it. One of her strands of hair wiggled a little bit, lifted its head and looked at me. I shuddered because I was looking into the eyes of a snake.
Did you guys like it? I hope you did! If you do I will totally write more s let me know if you do! (I know it's kinda short. Sorry! I'll write more in my next chapter!)
