Alright so I'm kinda making this movie based and book based but it's been a long time since I've seen the film so sorry if this prologue doesn't exactly follow it but I hope you guys like it!
The car I was driving came to a screeching halt as I slammed my foot onto the brake to stop in front of this apartment building. I looked outside the passenger window and saw my friend Grover, not looking to happy at my late and abrupt arrival.
"You were supposed to be here five minutes ago," Grover told me.
"I'm sorry you try driving around New York city traffic, over the speed limit, while responding to a text! By the way? What does come quickly they know mean?" I answered him as I read him the text he sent me.
"What do you think it means?" he said. He seemed to be in some sort of hectic situation at the moment. Just then two people came out of the apartment building one of them I recognized as Sally Jackson and the other I could only assume was her son Percy Jackson, the person we were all here for.
"Oh shit...that's what you meant!" I realized as I felt all the color drain from my face and felt this large amount of fear in the pit of my stomach.
"Who's she?" Percy asked looking at Grover.
"Hi! I'm Amy! Get in the car please?" I asked politely.
"What's going on?" Percy asked looking between Grover and his mom.
"Get in the car!" I snapped at him, considering I knew how dire the situation was. So far I have never failed in bringing a kid to camp and I was willing to keep it that way. Apparently my high pitched threatening voice worked because he hopped in the car along with everyone else. I didn't bother asking if anyone had their seat belts on because the minute all the doors were closed I sped off as fast as I could.
"Whoa can you slow it down Mario Andretti some of us care if we die," Grover joked with me. I slowed down my speed a bit to make us look not so suspicious as we reached the bridge. I sat in silence as I heard Grover and Sally explain the painful truth to Percy about who he really was. I kept sneaking glances at him in the rear view to see how was reacting to it all and was quite surprised that he wasn't freaking out on the outside, but on the inside I was positive there had to be something going on there. Percy's eyes caught mine in the mirror and I quickly looked at the road. After being alive for so long you think I would have dropped the habit of being so nosey.
"So who are you then?" Percy asked.
"Just came to help Grover, I transfer kids all the time. We were told you were special so they decided to double us on the transferring you to camp part. Grove's done most of the field work and I'm just here to make sure you can make it there alive. Sorry I'll have to explain more later though kid," I apologized as I turned onto the main road leading towards camp.
"Kid? I look older than you?" Percy commented.
"Oi I'm a year older than you in this body! And I'm not even gonna get started on my actual age!" I snapped at him again. God I gotta work on my anger issues, of course that also had to pass onto me from my dad. Percy gave me a confused look.
"Again I'll have to explain later. Don't worry we're almost there though! By the way you are doing an excellent job at handling all this," I complimented him. I could practically smell the strawberry fields as we headed up the hill. Thalia's tree was coming just up into view when suddenly I heard loud running footsteps that practically made the whole car shake.
"Ames you know how I said slow it down earlier? Could you speed it up now?" Grover asked as he looked out the back window.
"She's going as fast as she can," Sally defended me as she looked at how the little needle on the dashboard was right at the maximum speed point.
"Come on!" I shouted at the car and at that moment I heard the footsteps stop and right in front of us landed a minotaur which made us quickly swerve off the road.
Yes I know I stop chapter's at weird points but I hope you liked it and review if you did!
