Hey guys! This is one of my first few fanfics, so I hope its good! My others are called "Family, Time Travel, and Monsters", "Timelord at Camp", and "A Demigod Life" if you want to read those too. Anyways, onto the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own The Percy Jackson books or the Michael Vey series.
Chapter 1: An "Ordinary" Day
It started out as a regular day for Percy Jackson. He was walking around Camp Half-Blood early in the morning with his girlfriend, Annabeth. Breakfast was soon, so they walked over to to the pavilion where breakfast was served. After a filling breakfast of blue waffles and pancakes they walked to the border and sat next to Thalia's old tree, the Golden Fleece flowing in the wind.
"I don't think we have had a peaceful day till now," Percy said thinking back to their many adventures.
"Yeah, it's really nice," Annabeth smiled and leaned her head on Percy's shoulder. "Let's enjoy it while we can. It probably won't last."
They sat in peace and quiet for a minute until a deafening screech echoed through the camp. Annabeth and Percy jumped up and faced the border protection, weapons in hand.
"What do think that was?" Percy asked Annabeth peering into the dark forest.
"I don't know." Annabeth took a cautious few steps forward. "But whatever it was it doesn't sound very happy."
ZAP! A sound like electricity snapped a little ways away. A ginormous spider backed away from a glowing, vaguely human shape.
"Oh gods," Annabeth squeaked, backing up and hiding behind Percy. "I can take a Drakon, a Hellhound, or even a Giant any day. Anything but a spider!"
"Stay away from my friends!" The human shape put its hands together and a ball of lightning appeared. It threw it at the spider and hit its mark. The spider fell to the ground writhing with blue sparks of electricity running up its body.
"What in Zeus's name was that?" Percy wondered aloud. Annabeth shrugged as she moved around Percy and stood at his right. They continued to watch as the shape waved its arm to somebody behind it. Seven more shapes came out of the foliage.
"Everyone okay?" The first person, who Percy and Annabeth identified as the leader, looked around to each of the people in his group. Once they all nodded that they were fine the leader looked around. He looked down at the ground and then over past Annabeth and Percy. Spotting the field of strawberries he said as his stomach growled, "Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving. Maybe we could go to that strawberry field and eat some. They won't miss a few berries." He started to walk forward when one of the group grasped his shoulder to stop him.
"Be careful Michael. There might be more giant spiders...or other monsters." The voice was obviously female and she spoke in such a way to the leader, Michael, that she must be his girlfriend. Michael smiled at her, reached out to her hand, and held it tightly. The group walked forward and into the light, just enough that Annabeth and Percy could identify what they looked like.
The leader of the group, Michael was the smallest out of the men. He had blond hair and blue eyes. The girl who's had he was holding was skinny and had brown hair and brown eyes the color of maple syrup. Six others followed behind them. A tall male with dark long hair stood next to a girl with long golden colored hair and brilliant blue eyes. A tall muscular male was beside them along with a short husky male, a Chinese girl with long black hair, and a skinny African American kid who looked like he was blind.
They all started walking toward Percy and Annabeth when the African boy stopped in his tracks. "Michael, wait." They all stopped and looked at the boy. "There are two armed teenagers right in front of us."
Sorry, short I know... But I'm tired and it's late, so this'll have to do. Please review and give me any ideas you may have! I will reply to them in the next chapter!
