Chapter One: Just a normal day.
Hey guys and girls! I thought that I'd make my own story based on Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan. This could carry on into other stories too depending on how well this one does. Hope that you all enjoy.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any characters mentioned in this story apart from Colin! All credit goes to Rick Riordan!
You need to listen to me right now! This story is not made up, it is all true, I didn't choose to be like this. It was forced upon me! If you are reading this because you think you are like me then close this page and never open it again, believe whatever excuse your mother and father told you and live a normal life. If you are reading this simply because you want to know about me and the world I have to live in, then that's fine. If you notice anything about me that resembles anything about you whilst reading this story, it may already be too late and they could come for you. Well you have been warned! My name is Colin Petros, son of Hecate, the goddess of magic and sorcery.
So here it goes. I could start from any point in my life to show you how much more different I am from you mortals. I don't want to bore you though so I'll start at one of the last days of term at my high school. I went to a high school called Central Park East High School and we were celebrating the end of the year, I was really celebrating a year without getting expelled from a school. You see, most of the time I go to a school, I blow something up or cause some sort of damage, I get expelled from said school, move to another school and rinse and repeat. Not this year though. Anyway, I was stood with some friends just talking about random Greek facts which I was always good at, when two new people that I didn't recognise arrived and I knew everyone at East High. They both looked about 16 so I figured that they were in one of the older years or had been kept back or something. One of them was a boy who had short, brown hair and sea blue eyes, it was almost as if he had the ocean itself running through his. He wore a black top which had something written on it but because of my dyslexia, I couldn't tell what and blue jeans. The girl he was with was stunning, she reminded me so much of Athena, the Greek goddess of Wisdom and Battle strategy. She had a fierce look about her and had long, blonde hair which draped over her shoulders and she had grey eyes which seemed a little odd to me at first. They disappeared into the crowd and about half an hour later, the boy approached me.
"My name's Percy Jackson." He told me.
"Colin Petros." I introduced myself.
"We have to leave, like right now." He ordered.
I thought that this guy was crazy so I walked away and then some older kids stopped me and said that they wanted a chat. I thought what's the worst that could happen? And I followed them away from the others. We went into the woods and they through me to the floor and stared at me with a creepy smile.
"Oh we have been looking for you for a long time indeed." One of them said.
"Why? What do you want with me?" I demanded.
Then, that's when it all started. They started to grow like they were having sudden growth spirts. Their eyes started to glow red and they grew claws out of their fingers. I thought that I was going to die right there and then. Then suddenly, I dodged them like I knew what to do and rolled away. They came for me but I took out my knife that I always kept on me and it started to turn bronze. I didn't have long to examine it though as one of them swung me into a tree. I got back up and went for one, he swung and I dodged it, slicing his stomach. He turned into dust right there and then. I didn't know what to think of it. The other five closed in on me to avenge their lost brother, I thought that their was no way to fight them all off. Then Percy and the girl who was with him ran up to us and killed two of the things.
"Told you we had to go!" Percy shouted.
"What are they?" I asked.
"Giants!" The girl told me.
"Great!" I said sarcastically.
We managed to kill the remaining three and headed away from the school. They said that they had to take me to some camp, I figured it was for crazy people or something. We ran for a while and then we got into a cab and it took us into the country. I wanted to ask so many questions, but I figured that it wasn't the time. An hour passed and it was getting dark, I watched as the sun set and we drove along. I heard Percy and the girl talking about some guy called Grover and I heard them mention another guy called Luke. I didn't pay much attention to the conversation though. We were passing some woods when Percy said to the driver.
"Drop us off here please."
"But this is in the middle of nowhere, you sure?" He asked.
"Yeah. We are." The girl said as she gave him a roll of notes. I figured it was his lucky day and got out. I followed the two through the woods and up a hill. When we got to the top of the hill we were cut of by something so huge, it made the giants look like a bunch of babies. It only had one eye in the centre of his forehead.
"Great, so close to camp and now a Cyclops turns up. Anything else want to go wrong today?" Percy stated.
"I'm going for it." I said.
Before they could tell me otherwise, I ran up to it armed with my knife. It lunged at me and I dodged it slicing his leg. Then the thing grabbed me and threw me so hard into a tree that it almost collapsed. I struggled back up barely able to stand. I saw Percy and the girl now engaged with it. I went back over to it and stuck my knife into its foot. It yelled in pain but just slapped me into another tree and I tried to stand, but I collapsed in agony and fell unconscious for the rest of the battle.
I hope that you all enjoyed the first part of my story and I hope to update it soon. Please feel free to leave a review so I can see what you think of it :)
