What can I say? I couldn't wait.

I was in a high school gym with tons of teens a little bit older then me, maybe 17. "What the hell?" I said looking around the room. I couldn't remember how I got there or where I was before, but I knew something weird was going on. Then I saw him standing next to a 7ft tall kid who I, for some reason, couldn't look in the eyes.

I shouted his name to get his attention but there was no response. I shouted again but he didn't hear me. I started to walk over to him when a man, who I assume was the gym teacher, blew his whistle signaling the start of a game that I quickly realized to be dodge ball. A rubber ball flew at a kid at about 100 miles per hour (I'm not exaggerating) and guess who was in its direct line of fire… Me.

I ducked but not quickly enough and the ball hurtled to my face. But something strange happened. It passed right through me. The thought of how that a ball was traveling at the speed of a major league baseball player's fast ball got pushed out of my mind by why I was suddenly the thickness of air.

I looked up as another ball came at the same speed, and again passed right through me. For a split second, I got the terrifying idea that I was dead. But then I remembered if I was, I'd be hanging with my uncle down in Hell.

I started running to the boy who didn't hear me before screaming his name but he didn't respond. In fact no one did. I got to him and tapped him on the shoulder but my hand just passed though his shoulder. I said his name but he still didn't respond.

He suddenly got a look of shock on his face and stared at me, "Finally," I said relieved that he saw me, "Where are-" That's when I realized he wasn't staring at me, he was staring behind me.

I slowly turned around sensing something bad and what I saw was bad. Standing behind me was 4, 8-foot monsters, all holding sizzling hot metal balls, much bigger then dodge balls.

On instinct I reached for my sword that should've been attached to my belt but wasn't. For the first time sense I had woken up to the gym I looked at what I was wearing… normal clothes with no armor or weapons. I pushed my wrist together but nothing happened. That's when I realized, not only was I not wearing armor, but my leather cuffs which turn into a bow with reappearing arrows were gone too. I was practically defenseless.

I had only one hope… My godly powers. But there was one issue, they come and go a lot. I prayed to the gods for a second hoping they would hear and I guess one of them did because energy surged through my body.

I ran forward with all my energy as a monster threw something at the two boys. I stopped and looked back to make sure they were okay and to my surprise the guy who I couldn't look straight in the eyes had caught the sizzling ball with his bare hands. I had no time to process what had just happened because the sizzling balls were continuing to fly through the air.

I ran for the first monster and tried to jump on him but I fell straight through him. I lunged again but I couldn't lay a finger on him. He continued throwing the sizzling balls and the tall boy continued to catch them while the other ran to the locker room. At the last he jumped out of the way letting the ball explode into the gym doors opening them and letting all the mortals escape. The boy quickly followed but came back with his sword.

He attacked a monster that easily swatted him away making him crash into a wall. The monster lifted the metal ball and threw it at the boy who was not quick enough to dodge it making me watch as my brother, Percy, died right in front of me.
