Chapter 1 : The Boy With The Green Eyes

Maya POV

I ran through the damp, dark forest, not sure where I was going but I had to get away from that thing. I was trapped, nowhere to go. I was surrounded by big hairy black beasts in the mist, they looked like dogs but were twenty times bigger….. Like the size of a Hummer. The creatures were snarling and nipping at me. Suddenly I heard something like a war cry and a group of teens came running with swords and armor. I was startled I tripped on a root of a tree and hit my head.

I woke with a start. My teacher was glaring at me and She asked me again. " Maya what is twenty-four times four? "

I thought for a moment "96" I said without hesitation.

snickered at me. She looked like she was going to murder me but I looked innocently up at her as she spoke

" That's right" she rasped at me seeming unpleased.

There was a nock on the door Mrs. Dodds without looking at the door said " Enter" and started writing on the board. I turned my head the principal Mr. Smith walked through the door with a boy and girl at his side.

Mr. Smith walked them farther in the classroom. Mrs. Dodds turned and smiled her creepy grin. Mr. Smith gave a speech about being nice to our new classmates and to help them out. He told us their names the boy's name was Percy Jackson and the girl's was Annabeth Chase. Mr. Smith walked out of the room we were silent. After a lot of considerationMrs. Dodds put them on her seating chart. Annabeth and Percy sat on either side of me. replacing Liz.

The next day was Friday I was super excited because Liz was coming home from Maryland of course in health I saw my best friend she just got back yesterday. Her dad had family up there apparently. I hugged her but she winced I jumped back and looked into her eyes a scary thought crept into my mind. We sat away from all other people I thought carefully before I said anything then spoke " Has he hit you again?" I asked afraid of the answer.

"Yeah" she whispered as I hugged here carefully trying to avoid the bruised spots on her body.

" It will be okay" I whispered. She could only nod.

My friend Liz was strong, beautiful, kind, gentle, and graceful, but her dad ruins her. He never hits her face but seems to hit her everywhere else sometimes he would throw oranges at her but the orange spheres never bruised her. It made me so angry, I was useless. I excused us and went to the bathroom when Liz winced and red liquid started to seep through her teal shirt. As usual a patched her up I put neosporin on it and some bandage wrap.

It was lunch we didn't dare touch the food, Liz hurt when she breathed. I felt bad again. Then out of the blue coming from the 'popular' tables (one for the guys and one for the girls) Annabeth stood up and walked over so did Percy. I saw his intense brotherly green eyes.

Liz whispered " Who's that?" she asked warily.

"Annabeth and Percy their new their in ALL of our classes. and moved you…" I said awkwardly. I let that set in. Just when Liz was about to say some very colorful language under her breath I said " Hey Percy, 'sup Annabeth." Silence. I heard Percy say under his breath about hating 'popular' kids.

Liz got up to dump her tray when a 'popular kid' named Charlie pushed her, she stumbled and started to fall I tried to catch I her but I slipped on spilled milk and we both landed on the floor in pain I heard a crack as my ankle was most likely broken. My toes were pointing the wrong direction. Percy had a very interesting conversation with Charlie, but Annabeth tried to pull Liz up first but her hidden bruises screamed for mercy so Annabeth laid her carefully on the ground out of sight she looked at Liz's side that was covered in wrap.

When Percy came back he helped Annabeth pick Liz up. I was sadly still on the floor in immense sharp horrifying pain. Annabeth helped me up and limp out of the room.(Percy was carrying Liz). Though we didn't end up going to the nurse's office Annabeth led us to a car out front (Even though they were only 15). They brought us to the motel they were staying at, wasn't much but it worked. Annabeth and Percy rewrapped the wound on Liz quickly and efficiently while I sat there comforting her while I was fighting a pained look. After they were done she was passed out so Percy picked her up and laid her gently on the couch. Annabeth held my hand as Percy set the ankle I screamed in pain but Annabeth covered my mouth to muffle the sound but it was pretty loud Annabeth gave me a drink that tasted strangely like warm brownies. Annabeth ordered that we'd have to stay at the motel. I didn't argue I just that limped over to one of the beds and instantly fell asleep. thats when the nightmare started

It was hot out I was at Liz's house using her pool. I was swimming in the pool when Liz came out with red marks on her. I raced up to her asked if she was ok. All she did was nod. I took a guess about abuse then, I asked her how long it has been going on for she just murmured " For years", she looked pained I hugged her she hugged me back… Of course the moment was interrupted by Liz's dad Owen. I wanted to beat him to a bloody pulp, alas we just walked by to the door. I muttered to myself " Butt-faced, dragon hearted, no good piece of crap." He must have heard because the next thing I knew he smacked me hard. I stumbled but I swiftly turned and punched him in the jaw, but I didn't stop there I jab him in the stomach, kick his chest (AKA blob), and I think I broke his nose he fell over unconscious. Liz and I ran into her room I grabbed the first bag I saw and I started shoving clothes in, Liz grabbed another on we packed her 3 bags full of clothes in less than five minutes. I called my mom she picked up on the first ring I hurriedly told her the situation and she bolted to the car ten minutes later she picked us up….

I shot up feeling a cold sweat on me. I just about punched the wall. I took a deep breath calming my nerves. I heard my phone ring and I quickly answered. It was was Liz's jerk (Butt-faced, dragon hearted, no good piece of crap) father and he screamed at me I abruptly shut my phone and hung up on him. I could only think of one word in my mind disgust. Annabeth spoke soft mummers in her sleep and went back to bed.
