Hey everybody, this is my first fan fiction. Please review. I want to know if you guys want to actually read this. I have a lot of the story already made but I won't post unless people want it. So remember to review and please don't give me crap. I not sure how this double spacing thing works but anyways. I hope I did alittle good but maybe none but anyways I don't own any trademarks or any copyright but that's what this site is for right. Hope you like it.
I woke up after another terrifying dream to see I was safe in my room at my house, not in the terrible place I always went when I slept. It was filled with dead spirits and fire and horrible creatures. It has getting to me. By the way I'm Conner Turner. Here's my story.
I heard my family getting around for the morning outside. It was a Friday finally and the last day of school. I'd finally be able to relax this summer. I picked up a book from the side table titled, creatures under the sea, all the letters flipping around and floating off the page. I set the book down and rubbed my eyes. Why do I have to be dyslexic? To add to that I'm ADHD so I can't leave things alone. Priceless objects, weapons, anything unusual or… usual I guess I have to mess with. I looked at the mirror on the wall opposite the wall my bed was on. My hair was different from the rest of the family's, jet black and my eyes were the only green eyes in my family. I was the different one.
I got up and took a shower, got dressed, and ate breakfast, usual getting ready for school type stuff.
"Are you ready for school, Conner?" my Mom asked as she walked into the kitchen. She was dressed in her usual work clothes, her brown hair tied back in a ponytail.
"Ready as I'll ever be," I said, dumping my cereal bowl in the sink and putting my shoes on. My sister, Mindy, walked in. She's younger than me by two years, me being 12 (turning 13 this summer) and her being 11.
"I really want to get this day over with. Summer tanning here I come." Mandy sat down in the chair.
"Yeah, I've been waiting to get over to the lake the moment we left last summer." I said grabbing my shoes. I was hanging out with my friend, Birch, after school. To tell you the truth, I've never seen anyone eat more than him, ever. He ate 6 pans of enchiladas without hardly breathing and still could eat more.
I walked out to the bus stop and sat at the bench like always. Mandy and her friends joined us on the walk and they were chatting away about everything that wasn't really important but I guess it was to them. Stuff like what they were wearing or the color they painted their nails last night.
The bus finally drove up and we filed in. I sat alone in the back of the bus, away from everybody else as usual, looking out the window. Then something really weird happened. I felt something bump me so I looked around and found I was sitting next to a cheerleader, a very pretty one. Or at least I thought I remembered her from the team, she was dressed in normal clothes now, those little jean shorts that they could only wear on the last day because they were too short and a plain pink Aeropostale shirt.
That was probably the surprise of my day, well normal one anyway. That never happened to me, I wasn't exactly popular. I looked around to see most of the seats empty so she didn't have to sit next to me.
""Hi, you're Conner, right?" she asked with that cheery voice.
"Um, yeah. Uh… sorry but who are you again?" I really didn't know who she was which was weird because I didn't really have a big class.
"My name's Megan. So what's up?" Megan asked turning towards me.
"Not much, don't take this wrong but why are you talking to me?" I really was kind of puzzled. I felt like this shouldn't be happening, like it really wasn't right.
"I just wanted to get to know you, silly." She said, tapping my nose.
"Uh, did Mandy put you up to this or something or are you serious." I sat up more.
"No, I just wanna talk to you Conner, so what's your favorite animal? Mine's a donkey." She asked with a lot of enthusiasm.
"Probably a dolphin." I replied. She kept asking questions and talking and talking until we got to school. We walked off and into the crowd of kids flowing into the school. Living in Michigan it was pretty small but still a decent size of kids I guess.
"So, I have to go to my class now, I'll talk to you later, ok." Megan finally left.
Birch walked up to where I was standing and watched Megan walk away.
"Who's that?" Birch asked, turning to me, taking an apple from his bag filled to the top with apples and eating half of it in one bite.
"Megan, she says she's been here all year. Have you ever seen her around, because I haven't." I told him as we walked down to our first class.
Birch looked really serious for a minute, but then just smiled.
"Yeah I've seen her around I think," He laughed, "I'd remember her I know that."
I punched him in the arm, "I think I would, too." We went through the day. Everybody was taking pictures and we all just talked, no work to do.
My last class of the last day of 7th grade came pretty fast, and guess who was there that I pretty for sure I know for a fact wasn't supposed to be there, Megan. She was chatting with some of the other girls in the class but she kept looking over at me every couple seconds. She did the same thing at lunch.
I wasn't staring back but I can keep track of a couple things at once I think because of my ADHD, probably the one advantage to having it if any at all.
Everyone was pretty much rushing to the door. The bell finally rung and we trampled over each other to get out. Girls were hugging each other, everybody saying goodbye and stuff. Birch and I were pretty much out of there as fast as we could. We started walking to the park which pretty much right next to the school.
We sat under one of the shadiest trees in the park, Birch eating the apples he found in the trees. We sat chatting away, talking about video games and the whole last day of school. Then we saw a not so surprising to see Megan walking towards us.
"Hey boys." She said sitting down next to me in the grass. Birch looked at her, cringed his nose, then went back to his normal happy face.
"Um, hi. What are you doing?" I asked, looking at her. She looked at me with her blue eyes, but for a second they flickered to red but I just thought it was a trick of the light so I just let it pass over my mind.
"Just hanging out is that ok with you guys." she laughed, pulling at the grass subconsciously.
"Really, why are you here. You're kind of scaring me. I've never seen you before today." I said, sliding away from her.
"Poor choice of words young half blood!" she yelled and burst into flames. I jumped back and watched her burn until she was a.. monster. Her face was the same and her upper body was human clad in armor of some sort. But her legs… one was solid… bronze color. Her other leg was all hairy and had a hoof instead of a foot. Wings spread from her back, black, like really dark black.
"What the heck is that?" I yelled running behind a tree that Birch had ran behind.
"It's a Empousae, get back!" Birch started pulling off his pants.
"Dude, why are you taking your pants off?" I yelled. Under his pants were… hairy. Then I realized they looked a lot like the hairy leg on the monster Megan right behind us.
"Your half donkey!" I yelled. He hit me with this big tree branch that he got from this backpack somehow.
"I'm half goat, man. Now you gotta run now." He ran up to the monster. I ran even further and looked back at the battle just in time to see Birch slammed into a tree and lumping to the ground, unconscious.
"Come here, Conner. You demigods sure cause a lot of trouble don't you?" the monster yelled, throwing a fireball at me. I rolled to the side and the fireball caught my foot, but just my shoe burned, the rest of my foot felt warm but still fine.
I rolled and dodged the fireballs, hiding behind trees and running for dear life. I wasn't exactly the most athletic kid either. Somehow I got back around to Birch and shook him awake.
"What am I supposed to do?" I yelled, shaking him.
Birch moaned, "Try dodging fire with the pool." Then slumped back to unconsciousness.
I ran as fast as I could to the pool but it was all the way on the other side of the park, and I had to keep dodging fire so it took a lot longer than I would have of hoped.
I jumped the fence just as a fireball blazed below my legs. I ran to the pool and jumped straight into the deep end. I looked up and saw steam rolling off the top water, fireballs turning the surface to steam. I heard the screaming of that fireball throwing, freaky legged demon cheerleader, asking me nicely to come to the surface to get roasted.
I just sat at the bottom of the pool watching the steam rolling, panicking as I know I'd run out of air at one point. I shot to the ladder and pushed myself up onto the pool deck. I grabbed the pool cleaning net pole thing from the side rack on the wall and started jabbing the monster with it, keeping it busy so it didn't tear me to shreds or ignite a fireball.
Then Megan got a lucky shot. She grabbed the pole and pushed it towards me, knocking me to the ground and giving her the split second she needed to pounce on top of me.
"You die today, demigod!" she shrieked, raised a claw to tear my heart out. She lashed my arm and huge pain went through my arm. I started to black out and my senses went dull.
I heard somebody shout something loud, and something really strange happened. The water from the pool grabbed demon Megan and she went under, the water thrashing her and basically kicking her butt by itself. What I thought was a black shadow with wings swooped down and dropped a kid just older than me in the pool and he sank below, a bronze sword flashing in the light. A smaller horse with wings, I thought I was crazy, swooped down and a girl hopped off and ran over to me. She had curly blonde hair and an orange shirt on so she looked like a normal teen, about 15-16, but she had a knife in her hand so I figured I was wrong.
She propped me up and forced this really weird tasting liquid down my throat. It tasted strangely like pickle juice which was very fine with me. After a couple of seconds I was pretty much fully awake and the gashes in my arms had disappeared.
"Will someone tell me what in the world is going on here?"" I yelled at the girl, kind of harsh looking back but I was confused.
"Well, we're trying to save your life so if you're smart I'd stay behind this wall I dragged you behind until we can take you to camp. Stay here and stay away." She said as she went into combat.
I peeked around the corner to see the guy who had fallen into the pool, completely dry and he had my black hair which I thought was really weird sort of. He was carrying a one handed bronze sword that look a lot more impressive than the knife the blonde girl was holding. He was wearing the same color shirt as the blonde girl so I figured they were part of the same group of something. The blonde girl grabbed a… baseball cap from her back pocket and right as she put it on.. she was gone. The guy was directing water with his sword, soaking the monster, then he went in and slashed away, but the monster blocked with her claws.
"You can never kill me half-agh." Megan the demon froze, then exploded into this gross dust looking stuff. Standing behind her 2 seconds later was the girl, whipped the dust off her knife as she placed the cap in her back pocket.
"That was fun." The guy laughed as he went over the girl, still facing away from me.
"Shut up Seaweed Brain and eat some ambrosia, all that water you almost passed out you know that." The girl said, taking some stuff out of her pocket and handing it to the guy.
"Whatever, I still think that hat is cheating." He said, walking over to what I first thought was a shadow was a black horse with huge wings.
"Sorry about that, but she had to go." The blonde girl walked over to me and stuck her hand out for me to shake it, "Hi, I'm Annabeth."
I shuck the hand, "Conner," I looked back at the pool deck, hardly any water left in the pool but everything else was soaked, "Can you tell me what happened now, please Mrs. Annabeth." I said, sitting down on the floor. I was exhausted from getting to the pool and in shock and you know, thinking I'm crazy.
"Well, I think you need to come with us. You'll be safe and we've already contacted your mom. Let's get out of here before police show up, ok." Annabeth said, helping me up and I followed her to the other guy.
Halfway she turned to me, "Never call me Mrs. Annabeth again or I'll kill you in your sleep." I nodded in agreement, no doubt in my mind that this girl wasn't kidding.
"Hey how are you with horses?" Annabeth asked me, grabbing the bridle of another winged horse that had flown in after I heard "Seaweed Brain" whistle.
"I don't ride much, but horses always seem to like me." I sighed, remembering all the times I had interacted with a horse. The horse followed whatever I wanted them to do and if I just thought for the horse next to me to do something like pee.. it would. I tried to stay away as much as possible.
"Really," she studied me with her really gray eyes, grabbing as much detail as she could, "Well this is Trojan, so saddle up so we can leave."
I stared at the horse's wings, "Um, I don't have any experience with winged horses." I said, getting up on the saddle carefully so I didn't touch the wings.
"Percy will make sure you don't fall off, right Water Boy?" she mocked the guy named Percy.
"Oh, shut it, Wise Girl," he turned towards me and a chill went through me. I'd seen those eyes and that hair before. This morning in the mirror, we had the same eyes!
I think he saw it too, but he just kind of shrugged it off and walked over to my horse and stared at it deep in the eyes, then walked away.
"Let's get back to camp." Percy said, sending his.. pegasus into the air. Annabeth followed his into the air, then mine went. It was like going down a very straight hill on a bike, wind blowing past you at 100 mph, and then we started flying what I think was east. I somehow fell asleep on the horses back after the whole couple hours of excitement. I laid my head on its neck and my eyes closed instantly.
