Chapter 1: April

April knew she wasn't supposed to do it, but she couldn't help it. Uncle Leo's new invention was right there, just thrown onto the table while he went to check on the noise from her distraction. This was her chance to finally get close to it, even though her parents warned her not to. She had to see if it was just rumor or if Uncle Leo and Aunt Calypso had actually build a time machine. Peeking around the table she rushed to the work space not being able to wait in the corner anymore. The time machine was a big colorful watch-like thing except the face of the watch had a digital surface with symbols she didn't understand. Picking it up carefully she examined it and, having her fathers knack of rushing into things, saw an orange button on the side and pushed it. The watch disintegrated in April's hands as the room began to spin at a sickening speed with a blur of colors. She fell backwards and gripped the ground trying not to puke. Then everything suddenly stopped. As the silence rang in April's ears she got up and brushed herself off. She took a cautious step forward and and another and rapidly started to fall. Colors flew past her eyes as she hurtled through the air toward a wide expanse of blue. The sudden drop of air pressure and quickening speed was close to making her faint. As her vision blurred she heard voices call out, "Oh my gods!" Is that a girl?" "Percy! Jason! There's a person falling! Save her!" The next thing she knew her fall was abruptly slowed and her vision went completely black.
