I noticed a lot of these and I hope mine's good. Please review. This takes place after TLO and TToF.
GG: *glances around* I own Percy Jackson and co. and the Kanes!
Juju: No you don't. You only own Carly. *Claps hands over mouth* Umm…Who's Carly? I don't know.
GG: Fine. So I don't own them now, but someday…
Percy's POV
Chapter 1: I almost get killed…again.
My day started out pretty normal. As normal as it gets for a son of Poseidon who's being chased by monsters that want to eat his guts and take him to their leader at the same time. And when that's normal, I'd hate to see abnormal. But, as usual, the Fates didn't care what I thought. And now there was a mega-monster breathing down my neck, and all my friends had disappeared.
It all happened just a few minutes ago. I was chilling in the mortal world with Annabeth and Grover. We had taken a vacation to Brooklyn because Annabeth wanted to see some architecture or something like that. Grover and I just wanted to drop stuff off the bridge and see what happened. While we were doing that, Annabeth did research or something. So, it was all going well until she screamed. Grover and I spun around, expecting a monster, but we didn't see her anywhere. I stepped into the crowd to look for her, and as soon as I did, I heard Grover scream. Once again I spun around, and once again my friend had disappeared. I tightened my grip on Riptide. Something freaky was going on here and I wasn't sure what.
The next thing I knew there was a huge snakelike creature glaring at me, hissing. I took a step back, and the thing had the nerve to sprout tentacles the threatened to wrap me in their sharp clutches. I spun around and ran as fast as I could. And that was how I got into my current predicament.
I made my way through the crowded streets, shoving past tourists and businessmen alike. The monster was gaining. Not one person screamed, so I wonder what they saw through the Mist. Lucky them. On second thought, I'd rather not be mauled by a giant teddy bear. It seems to ruin the effect.
Anyway, there I was, being chased by a snake thing, when two kids appeared in front of me. I'm serious. One second there was an empty sidewalk stretching before me, and then there were two kids covered in sand. I skidded to a stop, momentarily forgetting the monster chasing me. Thankfully, it reminded me of its presence by drooling on me. The experience was one I would rather not have ever again. The boy raised a stick into the air and shouted in a strange language. The creature gave a gargling wail of agony and vaporized into little beetle-things. I let out a strangled shout. What had happened?
The boy and girl walked over to some lion statue in front of the library. They held up their sticks and sand started to swirl around them again. Quickly, before they disappeared, I grabbed onto the girl's arm and was sucked away with them.
We emerged in desert. The girl spun around and slapped my hand, which was still gripping her arm. I yanked it away and scowled at her. The boy pushed between us and extended a hand.
"Hi, I'm Carter."
"Percy," I grunted, still glaring at the girl.
"Sadie," she said.
Carter smiled. "So, what were you doing that had the monster chase you?"
I shrugged. "I have no idea. I've never even seen that thing before. What was it anyway?"
Carter and Sadie exchanged a glance."That was a-"
A gong, of all things rang. Sadie sighed. "Amos wants us. We can't open another portal until we get some proper rest, so I guess we'll have to take you with us."
I followed them to a large building and prepared to meet my doom.
