A/N: This is purely just to revv my creative mind up. I have no clue if I should continue this or not. It's all based on if I'm really into it...

Lalita

Lalita Vanessa Luzon was never a normal person. This all was just adding into the factor of her strange-ness. She wasn't a completely crazy person. She was just energetic, happy-go-lucky, and way too childish. She acted on instinct most of the time, and this lead to her being not completely trusted within her friends. She had good grades in school and loved her teachers. She was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, but that never affected her grade. She was also ADHD, but she had it mostly under wraps. She didn't think her dyslexia and ADHD meant anything until now.

It all started with screams. Yes, the sound of screams was the only thing she heard of at that time.

A new student came in that day and she was ecstatic to meet him. By luck, he joined her English class. She sat in the front while the new kid scuffled to sit in the back. The period continued as normal. She kept tapping my pencil or shaking my knee and the teacher pointed it out.

"Calm you calm down, Lalita? You're practically shaking your desk," Mr. Downy pointed out.

She replied. "Mr. Downy, you know I can't help it. ADHD does that to a kid. You'll have to live with it for one more term."

The class laughed at her joke, but no one noticed the new kid's look at her. Lalita did notice it, but she brushed it off as not being use to the awesome her. The class ended and Lalita headed to the back of the class to greet her own friend.

"Thomas, you have it?" she questioned the guy.

He laughed. "Yeah, we have 2nd lunch, so you can watch the latest episode then."

Lalita cheered and dramatically pointed at her friend. "You are awesome! Let's head out. We may see your girlfriend."

The guy rolled his eyes. "Don't proclaim it to the world. Her mom doesn't approved of us, y'know."

"Yeah, yeah, forbidden lovers. Romeo and Juliet but with no death," Lalita suddenly hit her fist into her the palm of her other hand. "Eros and Psyche! They ended up okay, I think. Except you would be Psyche and Eros would be your girlfriend... In some myths, Aphrodite is Eros's mom, so her mom is her."

The two were out of the classroom when the new kid walked past them. Lalita decided to call out to him.

"Hey!" she called to him, and he turned to meet her gaze. "How's school doing for you?"

He slowed down and responded. "It's okay, I guess."

Lalita gave him a vibrant grin. "I'm Lalita! Lalita Luzon! Nice to meet you!"

"Nico," the new boy stated. "Nico di Angelo."

"Nico of Angels. Cool name!" she chirped. "What class are you heading to?"

"Graphic Arts & Publishing."

"Same! I'll lead the way for you, then."

All was calm until screams started. It was all a blur for Lalita. Glass shattered at the impact of a giant club. Students started to scatter off into different hallways. The front lobby was a giant open area with the ceiling being apart of the second floor. The glass display in the center of the area was in shambles. Nico was froze at the sight of the person who threw the ginormous club. A giant man lumbered through the gaping hole in the glass. He stood to his full height and towered over the three. Now Lalita felt even more short than she did before. This man be the height of one story of the school. Lalita's first instinct was to run, but the man made her paralyzed. His eyes... no, his eye was glowering at Nico.

"Son of Hades," he rumbled.

Nico backed away and pulled out something from his black bag. As if the bag was some kind of sheath, a sword emerged. It glinted in the sun like obsidian. Lalita had no clue what to feel at that point. Looking back, she should've screamed at herself for being so slow to realizing the danger.

Nico snapped her out of her initial shock. "Go! Get out of here! He wants me."

The man turned to notice the other two accomplices to his tasty meal.

"A daughter of Apollo? Desert."

Lalita scrunched her nose up. "Cyclops? Idiot."

That provoke the guy even more. "You will die."

She had no clue what she was doing, but provoking the guy was fun. A wide grin plastered across her face and she pulled Thomas into a hallway.

"Head out through the Gym entrance. I'll follow after you," she instructed the guy. "I'm gonna block his way."

As if he was in a daze, Thomas nodded and turned around like a drunk guy. He shook off his daze and ran towards the gym to get out.

"Well that worked out," Lalita grinned. "Now, time for some weapons."

She managed to get into the Gym closet and pulled out a golf club. It was now or never. She hurried back to the front lobby to see Nico struggle to fight off the giant guy. She took some stairs to the second level and hurried towards the front lobby area of the second floor. It was just a walkway between two sides of the school and two staircases to the lower level. Banners could be hung up from the second floor to be seen below. Lalita could see the Cyclops ( if that was a cyclops, she just assumed it was one or something. ) She waved to Nico who quickly noticed her. He dodged a flying arm and ducked behind the giant guy. He blended into the shadows and reappeared in the shadow of the cement railing of the second level.

"What are you doing here?!" Nico growled. "Get out of here! You're in danger!"

"And leave you alone? No thanks," Lalita snorted. "I'll distract him while you knock him out."

"But-"

She smiled at him. "Calm down. I know you mean good. I trust you okay?"

Nico stared at her in shocked. Lalita didn't wait for him to calm down. She rushed downstairs to meet up with the big guy.

"Hey! You fat lard!" she yelled at the guy. "Yeah, you! Do you want me? Too bad, you numbnuts!"

She dashed down around the front lobby. The cyclops followed after her, but didn't notice Nico following him from the second level. Lalita wasn't thinking at all, so she sent Nico a thumbs up and suddenly stopped. The cyclops was quick to snatch her of the ground and raised to his eye level.

"Stupid daughter of Apollo. Imma eat you now," he growled.

Lalita grinned and looked up. "Actually, I think you're going to eat my dust first!"

Nico launched himself off the second level and leapt onto the cyclops. His sword poised to kill and pointed at his one eye.

SHLICK!

The sword met the eye with a sickening sound. A loud roar filled Lalita's ears as she was roughly dropped to the ground with a thud. She watched in awe as Nico pulled out the sword and jumped down. The sword sliced through the body like a knife slices into a chocolate cake.

"Okay, now is not the time to be hungry," Lalita groaned out loud.

The cyclops suddenly started to crumble into dust and filled the room with a gross smell. Lalita felt like puking. Nico stood where the cyclop stood before and turned to her.

"You need to go somewhere safe," Nico stated. "Will you come with me?"
