We meet lady two snakes
Chapter 1
I had an ordinary life up until today, minus the fact that I hadn't seen my dad since I was 5 months old, I boarded with three friends who didn't know their dads also and I hadn't seen my mom in about 4 years.
My name's Alanna and the story of my life is a bit complicated. My dad left when I was 5 months old blah, blah, blah, mom couldn't cope with me because of my ADHD blah, blah, blah so I was shipped off to Mrs D's boarding school for hopeless cases. Well life wasn't all bad. I had my three best friends Rhianna, Johanna and Kerry.
I was up earlier than usual this morning, so I decided to stroll around the school grounds for a bit. I was walking past Mrs D's office when I heard voices from inside. ''Jussssst call them in all at once!'' said the first voice. Wait hold up were they hissing? I leaned closer to the door to hear more. ''No that will make everything to obviousssss!'' said another voice, by this stage I was pretty freaked out. ''But it meansss we can kill them all quicker! We can't have more half-bloodsssss sssspoiling our mistress's plansssss! Kill them I thought? This was one of those conversations where I shouldn't be listening to but I continued to anyway. ''What were their names again?'' one of them replied. No one could have expected what was coming next ''Alanna, Rhianna, Johanna and Kerry and one of them issss lissssstening to usssss right now,'' I turned and ran as fast as I could.
For some reason they didn't try to follow me but i kept running anyway. I mean come on two hissing people start saying they want to kill you and your best friends? Obvious answer keeping running no matter what. Well because of my super-fast running I didn't notice my friends Rhianna, Johanna and Kerry running the other direction. Slam! We lay in a heap on the floor. ''Ooww!'' said Rhianna; her hair now was all out of place. I didn't tell her this cause i knew she wouldn't be happy because i messed it up. ''Alanna what the hell are you doing!'' groaned Johanna as she rubbed her head.'' We couldn't find you in the dorm?'' Suddenly I heard a deep hissing sound ''Oh my god!'' Shouted Rhianna ''What is that thing?'' Quickly i turned around. What I saw was not a pretty sight. It was a big sea green monster. The top half of the monster was almost like a normal woman but on her bottom half were two big, long, green snake tails. Then I realised…it was our head mistress Mrs D ''Mistressssss will be so pleasssssed when I kill all of you!'' The creature hissed and lunged at Johanna. She quickly jumped out of the way. Then i remembered I had read about this creature in one of my Greek mythology lessons. ''Dracaenae,'' I said. My friends turned to me with expressions on their faces that said disbelief. ''Seriously!'' she shouted. ''You bring that up now!'' I have to admit Kerry can be very empowering when she wants too. All of a sudden as if out of nowhere a girl raced past me. She had long blonde hair and if I must say a lot of skill with a bow and arrow. She shot the Dracaenae right through the heart and it crumpled to a pile of dust. ''Hi,'' The girl said ''You must be Kerry, Rhianna, Johanna and Alanna,'' We stood shell shocked with our mouths open. ''My name's Annabeth,'' she said ''And to avoid a confusing explanation Your all daughters of the Greek gods or to be more precise...,'' For some reason I knew what was coming ''Demi-gods,''
