Hello people of earth and beyond! This is my first Fan Fiction, so please don't take it to harshly! I do not own any of the Percy Jackson or Heroes of Olympus books, Rick Riordan does, of course!
And you call yourself a fan! Wait... did you already know that?
Chapter One
Charli's P.O.V
Today has probably been one of the weirdest days of my life. By far.
On my way to my school, Manhattan Middle, my twin brother Carter a, my adopted brother Ethan, and I were almost struck by lightning, Ethan turned out to be a goat-man-thing, and now i am being attacked by a snake woman with a bad attitude. Lucky me.
So that basically brings us to where I am now, hiding behind a red Ferrari. Which, by the way, happens to be Carter's dream car.
"Stay here!" Ethan's shaky voice called out.
"What is that thing?" I asked him.
"A Dracenae. They're very dangerous, so I suggest you stay put. Unless, of course, you like getting killed." Ethan said.
I grabbed Carter's hand and ran out from behind the Ferrari and behind another car, just as the Dracenae lunged at it.
Then, Ethan pulled out his flute and did the oddest thing. He began to play a lively tune, right then and there, while we were being attacked.
"Uh... Ethan? I don't think this is the time for music!" Carter shouted at Ethan.
"Give me thirty seconds, okay?" He shouted back.
Carter then did something that i don't think i will ever forget.
He jumped out from behind the car and yelled "Hey, snake -person-thingy! Look over here!"
The Dracenae turned to look at him, giving Ethan the time he needed.
Suddenly, vines began to wrap around the monster's snake half.
Ethan grabbed me and Carter's wrists and ran off of the road in to the woods, Carter and I trailing behind.
"Come on, before she breaks the vines!" Ethan shouted, still running ahead with his goat-legs that I still hadn't gotten used to.
We ran and ran, until Ethan said that we were far enough and finally let us rest.
"Okay... one question... why are your legs furry?" Carter asked, still catching his breath.
"Yeah... funny thing... you know those all those Greek myths that we've been learning about in Mrs. When's class?"
"Yeah..." I said, looking at Carter.
"They're true. All of them. And I'm a satyr."
"Even the one about-"
"Yep."
"But what about-"
"All true." Ethan told us.
"No, no, no. They cant be true. Ethan if this is a joke, it isn't funny." Carter said, looking at Ethan. "Not. funny."
"It isn't a joke, Carter. You saw the monster back there." Ethan persuaded.
"He does have a point, Carter." I said, sticking up for Ethan.
"I hate it when your right." He stuck his tongue out at me.
"Oh and one more thing... you two might be children of a god. Making you two demigods."
"Wait, what?!"
"Come on, we have to keep moving. And don't worry. I'm taking you two somewhere safe. And no, Carter, I'm not some secret service agent." Ethan said, standing up.
And with that, we started running again.
Carter's P.O.V
Okay, so this is about the point where i consider taking Ethan to a mental hospital.
I mean, how can all that Greek mythology stuff be real? i mean, yes some weird things have happened to me and Charli, but I always thought that it was just a trick of the light.
Although... I'm pretty sure that Dracanae was real...
"Stop here." Ethan said, pulling me out of my thoughts. He pointed to a body of water, and I recognized it as Long Island Sound.
"We're going to Long Island." Ethan said.
"We'll need a boat to cross, wont we?" Charli asked him.
"Not if what I've been told is true." Ethan looked at us, smirking.
"Uh... dude, you're creeping me out." I told him, taking a step back.
"Don't worry. Hey, how long can you hold your breath?"
"Why...?" Charli looked at him like he was crazy.
"Because we're going for a swim. Charli, Carter, i believe that you two are children of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon."
According to Ethan, children of Poseidon could breath underwater. By then, I was sure he was crazy.
"You two just jump in. We should be there in no time."
Charli grabbed my hand.
"On three?" I asked her. She nodded.
"One... two... three!" We both jumped in, and miraculously neither of us got wet.
Oh and we both could breathe underwater.
"Whoa!" Charli said, clearly amazed.
"Yeah, i guess Ethan wan't kidding."
Suddenly a creature that looked like someone had stuck a horse head on a fish swam up to Charli and nuzzled her leg.
"I think it wants us to ride it."She said, patting it's head.
"Fair enough." I said, swimming to the surface.
The thing followed us.
"I see you've met a hippocampi." Ethan said, jumping on to it. "Room for one more?"
The hippocampi whinnied, and I could somehow understand it. What it had really said was, Of course i can!
I guess we got an enthusiastic one, because it took off right when Ethan told it where to go.
"To Long Island we go!" Charli shouted, the wind whipping her long black hair back in to my face.
"So how did you guess that we were children of Poseidon?" I shouted at Ethan so he could hear me over the wind in all of our faces.
"Well, I know your brother, and-"
"You know Percy? But, mom said he went off to boarding school!" Charli shouted.
"Nope. And actually, you might be able to see him when we get there."
"Get where?" I asked him
"Camp Half-Blood."
