Hello, fellow demigods. This is my first fanfiction ever! Please be nice. I hope you like it.
I do not own Percy Jackson.
Hi, my name is Blaise Thompson. Or at least that's what I thought. I've lived in middle of nowhere, Florida all my life with my parents, at least I thought so anyway.
The day I started to learn the truth, started out like any other. I was in my last class of the last day of school in my sophomore year of high school struggling against my dyslexia to read my English final, when I get a text from my best friend James asking to stay over tonight.
This was a normal occurrence these days, he was having a lot of trouble at home and couldn't stand being there.
I texted him back, "Sure. Come in the usual way."
The usual meant coming in the window so, my parents wouldn't know. Not that they would care.
James was like my little brother that I chose to have. We have known each other since I was in 1st grade and he was in kindergarten.
He texted back "See you at 10".
I finish my exam as the bell rings. I'm up and handing my paper in and out the door in two seconds. I guess my ADHD was running wild that day. I get home and go straight to my room to avoid conflict with my parents. Ugh….
Later, James opens up the window still in the same clothes as I saw him at school in.
"Did you even go home?" I asked him.
"And deal with mom's abusive boyfriend? No thanks."
He went to my dresser and pulled out his pillow and blanket out of the bottom drawer then laid down in his usual spot on the floor.
He talked about our terrible parents and how we were going to run away when we get older.
"Let's run away to the beach. You know how much I love it there."
He said "Why haven't you tried out for the swim team yet?"
"It costs too much money and the 'rents would complain and tell me to forget it"
We started to doze off. Soon we were both asleep.
The next morning, I woke up to James climbing out the window. I roll over and look at the clock. It's just about 7 o'clock and the sun was up.
I got up and looked out the window. I see James walking a little ways down the road and I see this huge dog a little ways behind him.
I call out to him but he doesn't hear me. I hurry to get changed and I run out the door. I catch up to them in a few minutes a few streets down.
I see the monster dog on top of him trying rip out James' throat. Adrenaline pulsing through my veins and out of instinct I pull back my arm as if I'm in archery class. This bow appears and looks as if it's made out of sunlight and shoots the beast with a light arrow.
The monster turns to ashes and I run to James who's ripped up and bleeding. A thought ran through my head to get him to water and I look around and I see a pool.
I half carry, half drag James to the pool and jump in the shallow end. I pull him in after me I watched as the water flowed from my arms to my hands to his wounds closing them up and healing them. I pull him out of the pool and lay him in my lap.
He starts to wake up. I make s sigh of relief.
"What happened?" He said.
"There was this monster hound chasing after you and it attacked you." I thought about how crazy I sounded. "What the hell was that thing?" I say to myself.
And out of nowhere we hear a male voice say "That my dear demigods, was a Hell Hound and not the last one you'll see if I don't get you to camp now."
"Wait what did mean demigods? Like from mythology class?"
The short man dressed in a trench coat and hat says "Exactly."
As he says that he looks above my head in awe. I look up and there's a giant green pitchfork above my head. The man looks at me again.
"That's not possible! I must take you to Camp Half-Blood immediately!"
"Wait I'm not going anywhere until I know what's going on! Especially not with someone I don't even know!"
The man looks at me and takes off his coat and reveals furry legs that end in goat hooves. My jaw drops.
"You and James here are both demigods. I already knew about James here and was tracking him to take him to camp when this mess happened."
"You saw the Hell Hound attacking him and you didn't help him!"' I screamed at him full of rage.
"I was about to reveal myself when you showed up to save the day. Now will you come with me? It's not safe for you outside of camp."
I was about to scream at him that he was crazy but, suddenly James got up and told the half goat. "Can we get some stuff first and Blaise has a family that'll worry about her so I don't think she can just leave."
I said "Right, you can't just kidnap kids and expect everything to be okay. Plus we don't even know your name."
The half goat finally said "My name is Thomas. I am a protector of demigods from Camp Half-Blood, a safe place for young half-bloods or demigods."
Well, there's the first chapter. I promise Percy is coming!
I'd love to hear what you think.
