Chapter 1: How I view the world
Percy's POV
Forget about what you're perfect vision of earth because it isn't realistic. This world isn't what I want to live in. It's selfish, cruel, barbaric, and sadistic. There's nothing good about it. The government is a complete joke. They don't know what they're doing at all. This world is toxic and sometimes I really wish I wasn't here to observe it crumbling down around me, turning into ashes like the city of Pompeii.
As I walk the streets that were once New York I though these things to myself on repeat. People ran through the streets, stole things, I'm living in a world of chaos. Old cars with peeling paint stood among the wreckage of building cut in half, still burning. How did New York and basically every other part of the United States become this? War, war that was entirely unneeded and it lasted for fifty years.
The kind of war everyone always feared, nuclear. Take world war two and multiply that by four hundred. As far as I know some parts of the world aren't even there anymore. They were blown apart by bombs. If you were smart, (which not many people here are), you live underground. I heard a scream, not uncommon for NY but it sounded different. Not different as in like well strange or disturbing but almost like it sounded like it was testing me.
I know it sounds strange but it didn't sound afraid and it had an amused sound in it almost. Blame me for it later but I followed the sound. It went down an alley. How predictable right? I already had my hands balled into fists. The shrieking got louder now and I could make out two silhouettes, one of a man and another of a woman. I could see the man put his hands around the girl's neck as I turned the corner. Silently I jumped onto the man and pulled him to the ground. I brought my knuckles back and punched hard. After a few minutes of fighting he seemed to be unconscious. I turned back to the girl. She smiled at me.
"Thanks for that." Her blonde hair was the last thing I saw before she jetted up the side of the building with a grappling hook. A small piece of paper flew to the ground. It had two simple letters on it A.C., but what the hell does that mean.I ran along to the front side of the building and saw two more girls with her. One had short black hair and the other a curly red. They clung to buildings and then jumped. As if I didn't have enough to worry about, who were those girls?
Annabeth's POV
"So did you get it?" Thalia asked eagerly and I pulled out the chip. Rachel squealed happily.
"Why of course I did." I smiled devilishly and plugged it into the computer, wiping away millions of important government files. We high fived each other.
"So who was that guy down there?" Rachel asked.
"Don't know he was kinds attractive." I simply said and went to the bathroom so I could take a shower. "He had some pretty nice fighting skills though, lots of hooks, he used. It was becoming predictable to the opponent." I added stripping off my latex suit. I flicked the water on and stepped inside. Nothing like soap to wash away all the dirt.
After my shower I met with the girls again to converse until we got our nightly call from Chiron, leader of the insurgence or Rebellion. Whatever you'd like to call it. We created the Resistance five years ago when the war had just ended. The video call came on and Chiron's face appeared.
"Hello Ladies." He said.
"Sup Chiron." We all echoed. We're basically the more modern version of Charlie's angels just in case you were wondering
"Did we retrieve and destroy the file?" He asked.
"Heck yeah!" Thalia shouted. He chuckled.
"Good, good, anything I should know about?" He asked.
"Haha yeah a totally hot pedestrian saved Annabeth from dying," Chiron put on his most serious face and I could feel my cheeks burning red. I turned to her.
"I said he was attractive and I'm grateful." Thalia and Rachel laughed.
"Did you leave any background information?" Chiron asked.
"No of course not, just because I see someone attractive doesn't mean I'm going forget all my training!" I said offended.
"What did he look like?" He said dismissing my anger. "You know other than 'totally hot'?" He asked and I was blushing all over again.
"The only feature of his I really remember is his raven black hair." I said and he nodded.
"Okay not much to work with. Good job ladies I'll phone you tomorrow." He said before the screen faded into black.
Percy's POV
When I got back home Mom already had dinner prepared and everything. Nico, my cousin was sitting on the couch looking at his mythomagic cards again. I plopped down next to him and through my feet up.
"So how was the world today?" Nico asked.
"Same old same old," I said blankly. Nico smirked at me.
"No it wasn't." He said. "Don't lie to me Perce what happened?" He grinned evilly.
"I just helped someone out today, okay Nico." I stated but he wouldn't have it.
"Oh really?" He said lacing his fingers under his chin. I rolled my eyes at his silly antics. I sighed and got up to go to my room. Mom smiled at me as I passed and passed me my plate.
Hey guys so here's a new story I decided to do them both so look out for story #2 which I did finally name. Bye.
