This is a fanfic on the son of Neptune. Please review! This is my first story.
Disclaimer: As much as I would like to own Percy Jackson, I do not. It belongs to Rick Riordan…
So here's the story!
THE SON OF NEPTUNE
Percy POV After Rick Riordan's first chapter
" Ahhhhhhhh!"I screamed. Everything was speeding past me. More like me speeding past them. It was hard to navigate the plate, so I was cut and bruised from all of the twigs and rocks on the hill, The Roman god of stupid sledding tricks was not helping much. Stupid god. Somewhere in my head a voice spoke: don't curse them Percy! I didn't know where I was headed. Solid asphalt, sea, car or died hitting my head on the rock. Take your pick. (ENTER CURSE WORD HERE)
Wait. Erase that sentence. I saw the bottom of the hill. I got ready to jump (which was of great difficulty since the plate was unstable), and was about to when I heard shouting behind me. The gorgons, Beano and Euryale. They were still chasing me. Great, the gorgons were alive and kicking again. Wow. What's more was that they were chasing me again, hoping to kill me, how wonderful. Pushing aside that happy thought I tried to concentrate on getting off the hill. The bottom of the hill inched closer and closer to me. I steadied myself and jumped.
I landed on my butt. Ouch. The plate landed beside me with an almighty crash. I stood up and looked around. There was a tunnel. The entrance of the tunnel was a few meters away from me, but I was doubtful of whether to enter or not. It might be dangerous. There was a figure huddled near the tunnel. It looked like any old grandmother you see on the streets, a homeless one probably, but after my experience with Beano, I wasn't too sure. She was an abnormal grandmother. Speaking of Beano, the gorgons were at the middle of the slope, having difficulty descending down. They were cursing and swearing some words that were meant to go "beep!". Talk about killing me.
The figure suddenly moved and rasped out," I am June. This tunnel will lead you to the Roman camp for demigods. You are one, as you probably know. Now you will face two choices. This will change the fate of your life. As you can see, the monsters, or more specifically, the gorgons are coming for you and me. You can jump in the ocean, escape your painful future, put everything behind you and leave me to fend for myself against the gorgons. You belong in the water, son of the sea god, you would and cannot drown, or you can either carry me, this old woman, into the tunnel and slowly regain your memories. I would run, but my legs had given up on me. One word of caution: If you choose the second, you will save the gods and your friends, but at a heavy price, as the curse of the Achilles will be lost."
I blinked my eyes. That was weird. Incredibly and really weird. Who suddenly decides to give you something to think about when two monsters are chasing you? The gorgons were at the bottom of the hill, almost a short distance away. I thought hard. I was tired of fighting, tired of being on the run. Almost all the time I was fighting monsters. I have not slept for five days. I was famished and parched. What the Heck? I carried June on my back as the gorgons lunged at me and ran into the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, I turned back and looked at the gorgons, I saw something move. With an extra burst of speed, bright light filled my eyes. I felt myself collapse, too exhausted to go further.
