Demigods Homework Helper

The ice-cream cone in my hand was dripping. The chocolate sticky substance covered my entire hand in a matter of seconds, and I grumbled to myself. It was never a good idea to get an ice-cream cone from a street vender, especially on a hot May day. I tossed the ice-cream cone into the trash and grabbed some napkins off the street venders table, trying to get it off my hands. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in New York City; everything seemed to be lively liked usual. Once I got it off my hands the best I could, I began my way home.

That's when it happened.

One, two…no, three empousai sprang out from an alleyway. To everybody else, they looked like beautiful highschool age girls that are definitely cheerleader material. To me, they were ugly creatures that try to kill me every once and while. I recogonized Tammi and Kelli from our last "reunion", but the new empousai was one I never met. Tammi seemed to reform quickly, because I destroyed her not too long ago.

"Ugh, not again! Don't you see it's my day off?" I exclaimed in annoyance, rolling my eyes with a sigh as I brought out the Riptide.

They seemed to ignore me and just lashed at them, spitting and snarling. "Time to diieee, Percy Jackson!" Tammi hissed, baring her fangs just like last time. I jarred the Riptide at her, but she sidestepped it. Kelli and the new one came circling in the other sides of me, while Tammi took the lead. Apparently she wanted revenge for "killing" her last time.

"Meet our new friend?" Kelli hissed, the trio of empousai's coming closer to me with their mismatched legs. "Her name is Jessi."

"What is up with you and the names ending with an I?" I replied, trying to keep my voice leveled. Pretending to be casual about it, I stabbed Tammi and down she fell into a pile of ashes. She had always been not as good as Kelli, and my next target was Jessi.

That one was easy, even with Kelli trying to attack me. She fell down with a roar into a pile of ashes right next to Tammi. Kelli groaned, curling her claws into her disgustingly white hands as she fell to her knees. "We'll meet again, Percy Jackson!". Then she turned into a pile of ashes too.

Too easy.

I looked around, while turning the Riptide back into a pen and sliding it into my pocket. A group of bystanders were gasping and screaming, some calling the cops, some snapping photos and everybody else running in circles screaming "DON'T SHOOT ME! PLEEASSEE!"

I felt the urge to laugh. The Mist covered Mortal eyes, and it was always amusing to see their reactions. I just began to run, trying to hide my face with my baseball cap. I wish I had Annabeth's baseball cap, because I could turn invisible and no one would know where I was. I headed home, because I had some Greek Mythology ( go figure ) homework to do.

Percy Jackson's Greek Mythology Homework

What are empousai's?

Well, they're these creatures that disguise themselves as beautiful cheerleaders and then once they don't like you or want a snack, they'll turn into these hideous creatures with mismatched legs. But they don't like you looking at their legs, because then they get real offensive and try to kill you even more quickly. Of course, you just need a good sword and kill the leader's friend- then they'll disingerate into ashes. They like names ending with the letter I, for some reason, but I don't know. I asked them that and they wouldn't reply. Also, they look like vampires but when you scream "VAMPIRE!" they laugh and say that vampire was created from them since they have weird fangs and stuff.

Who do they serve or where do they belong?

Well, I think they come from the Underworld but with some persuasion of Luke they came over to Kronos' side, the evil Titan lord that has it out to destroy Camp Half-Blood and the gods. I'm on his bad side, like I'm on the bad side of a lot of people. I think Kelli, the leader of that certain group of empousai's that try to attack me, likes Luke but Luke doesn't like her. I mean- once you see their true form, why would you like a donkey/brass/vampire thing?

How did I get stuck with the job as a teacher? Ms. Gooblesmurk thought as she leafed through the pile of homework. Especially Greek Mythology. It was very stupid in her opinion. She used to like it as a young adult and studied it in college, but now that she started to teach it she thought it was a waste of her time. She used to believe that the myths were real, but now she realized that they were just plain…myths. Her students seemed to think along the same lines, except for that Percy Jackson. There seemed to be something wrong about him. She had talked with the other teachers and they had said he hardly tries in their classes, except Greek Mythology. And, he always got answers right…but he seemed to imagine himself in the situation and sometimes began explaining 'quests' he has been on to help the Gods and stop Kronos. Like, yesterday, he had went into a detail explanation that he went inside the Labyrinth to find Daedalus before Luke did and stopped his evil army. That really spooked out Luke Gabriel in the class, who already had enough mental breakdowns to start with, and started bawling as he said he never did anything to hurt anyone.

Speaking of that odd student, his homework just sprang up. Her eyes widened behind her coke-bottle glasses as she read what he had to say and shook her head. Taking out her red pen, she wrote.

Percy, you need to stop imagining yourself inside these situations. You did get the descriptions of the empousai's right, but you need to stop giving them names and pretending you were battling them. I know this is a exciting subject for you but maybe you should go visit the guidance counselor sometime?
