A/N: Hey peoples, I wrote a Percy Jackson fan fiction before but it wasn't going the way it was supposed to and was too close to the book. I'm changing it now to another idea I had. Check Polyvore for outfits.
"Lilith darling please!" my step mother shrieked, I rolled my eyes, "What Angela" I said getting up from my bed, "You were supposed to be up for school twenty minutes ago to go to your new school." I shrugged and walked back into my room, I hated pretty much everything right now, there was just about three months left of school, nearly two, and I had gotten expelled for bashing a girl's face into a locker and apparently blinding her brother. They didn't get anything done to them for torturing me on the daily though. I sighed and walked around my room looking for something to wear.
"Here darling" I turned at the sound of Angela's British accented voice; I sighed and took the clothes from her. "I know they're a bit too girly but you should make a good first impression" she continued, "That's the only good impression they'll get" I muttered before slipping on a strapless bra and the clothes she gave me, a black Jeane Blush Emmy lace top and white skinny jeans. I liked it but it was girly. I slipped on my converse and my necklace that my real mother left me when she died giving birth to me, my father hated talking about her, I then proceeded to do my make up to look like a galaxy with sparkles to look like stars.
I grabbed my backpack and slung it over my shoulder before grabbing a water bottle and heading downstairs where my step mom was waiting, "Ready? I'll be driving you over to Yancy Academy" she said with a smile as she handed me a muffin, I managed a smile as I took the muffin and went to the car with her, "Are you sure you've never died your hair?" she asked as we drove, I nodded in response, "It's black with tints of purple and blue, it's really beautiful."
I smiled "Thanks" I said with a mouthful of blueberry muffin.
"Moving wasn't my choice Lilith, I know you've moved around a lot but it's necessary…you have to understand that. Your father tries his hardest." Angela said, it was the millionth time I've heard that and I was sick to my stomach each time I heard it. I ignored her. The rest of the thirty minute drive was silent except for when we stopped to get something for me to eat at lunch because apparently there was a field trip today, by the time we arrived I was fully awake and had downed two water bottles and had snuck my iPod into my backpack, I wasn't allowed to have a phone ever apparently.
Angela walked me into the main office, "Good morning Mrs. Nox, pleasure to see you again. How is Mr. Nox?" the lady asked, "He's splendid but at the current time he's back in London for business." Angela said with a smile which was betraying her actual feelings, she hated when my dad was away on business but it happened often. I hadn't seen him in four months but Angela went and saw him last month while I was stuck at a sitters.
"Well here is her class schedule, she won't need it for today because we have a field trip but she will need it for tomorrow, it's a pleasure to have you here Miss. Nox" she said, "You look beautiful today" she added, "Thank you ma'am, please call me Lilith" I said, she smiled and nodded before continuing her conversation with my step mom.
After a few minutes Angela left and the dean, Mrs. Smith, showed me around Yancy. It only took twenty minutes to show me around, it was rushed but I understood the layout…somewhat...I knew where the dorms and main office were so I was going to be fine tomorrow. As we finished our rushed little tour we saw that the students were getting ready to head for the bus, "I just need you to sign something real quick then you can go to the second bus." She said, I nodded and followed her to the office which thankfully was by the buses. I was not about to run anywhere.
I took the sheet from her and signed in all the places that she and my step mom didn't sign then took the blue raspberry lollipop she held out for me before walking out to the buses. I walked onto the second bus and plopped down next to a scrawny kid with a boat load of acne and the start of a wispy beard, um last time I checked this school was sixth through eighth and this field trip was for sixth graders, he seems a little old…I shrugged and waited as another kid ran onto the bus and took the seat across from me.
"Hi, I'm Grover" I turned to see the kid beside me was talking, "Hi, I'm Lilith" he smiled for a second before it quickly faded, he started sniffing the air around me, "Um…do I smell bad or something?" I asked in confusion and offense. "Oh, no!" he said immediately, "You smell great, like um like raspberries, grapes, blueberries and I think anarchy for her by axe" he took a sniff after everything he said. "I'm slightly creeped out now" I said puffing my cheeks, the kid across from us laughed, "Grover don't scare her on her first day" Grover smiled sheepishly and apologized "It's cool" I smiled, "Hey Lilith, I'm Percy" the other kid said, "Grover here is my best friend"
"That's cool, I like your eyes" I said, his eyes were a blue green that reminded me of the ocean, "They're like tiny oceans" he smiled, "Thanks" by this time we had been driving for several minutes. Suddenly an annoying laugh, a mix of a wheezing hyena and a dying donkey would be a good way to describe it, plagued my ears as Grover got hit in the head with something red and brown. "Oh god that's nasty" I said in disgust as he sighed as more globs hit him in the back of the head. Percy offered to switch spots and I agreed, he wanted to sit with his friend and I didn't want that stuff in my hair.
I looked back to see a girl with wild bright ginger hair and freckles that reminded me of the time I sprayed my cousin with liquid orange Cheetos, that took a long time to make. Percy let out a soft growl as he and Grover started talking, "I'm guessing yall don't like her" I said to them, they nodded, "We hate her, she hates us." Percy said, after muttering something about wanting to kill her. I winced as another glob of what now looked like and smelled like a ketchup and peanut butter sandwich smacked Grover in the face.
"That's it" I said standing up and going over to her and her friends who resembled a gang of baboons and orangutans, "Little bitch with no soul, leave him alone" the girl looked offended, "My name is Nancy, Nancy Bobofit!" she shrieked, "Oh god, your name is as atrocious as your face" she glared at me slightly confused. I punched her hard enough to knock her out for the remainder of the ride then walked back over to my seat after threatening her little gang of monkeys.
"Wow" Percy said with a smile, I laughed and took some wet naps and a baggy from my backpack, I traded seats with Percy again and started to clean up Grover's' hair and face, soon enough he was all clean. I sprayed him down with the small can of men's axe I had in my bag for emergency purposes, he did not need to smell like ketchup and peanut butter. "Thanks" he said with grateful smile. "I can't believe no one saw that" Percy said in disbelief as he looked around at the people who looked as if nothing had happened.
"I have that kind of luck, it's like some dark veil just appears around me and the person fighting, it's happened at the many schools I've been expelled from. I only get expelled for something getting blown up or the people I blow up on risk telling the deans or their parents." I shrugged and almost fell out of my seat as the bus jolted to a stop.
I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulder before following Grover out with Percy behind me. "Who is that?" I asked pointing to a guy in wheelchair with a scruffy brown beard. "That's Mr. Brunner; he's great so you'll love him if you have his class." Percy said, I handed him my schedule, "You have it same hour as Grover and I" he said "And that is?" I asked pointing to a little old lady with a stern distasteful look on her wrinkly face "Mrs. Dodds, you'll hate her" he rolled his eyes and I giggled, "Alright, why is she wearing a leather jacket?" I asked him, "We don't know, she always wears it, like 24/7" he gave her a weird look as I shrugged and followed the rest of the class and Mr. Brunner into the museum.
"Mr. Brunner" Mrs. Dodds said, "We have a new student" she walked to him and handed him a piece of paper, "Lilith Nox, come forward" he said in a dramatic tone causing everyone to laugh or smile. I walked toward him, "Hello sir" I said with a bored look, "Welcome to my class, please introduce yourself, I wouldn't ask you to do this but you've come so late" he said, I nodded and turned to face the mass of sixth grade Latin students.
"Hey, my name is Lilith Lillian Nox; I was born here in New York but lived in Alabama for near 8 years before moving back here, my dad is a world renowned Lawyer, he's away in London right now for business though, I got expelled from my last school, Martin junior high for getting into a fight and bashing a girls face into a locker, she deserved it and so will you if you mess with me or someone else." I said casting a glare to Nancy and her gang of monkeys. They backed away and started to talk amongst themselves. "You should get in trouble for that threat but I'll let that slide because it's your first day and you seem to have good intentions, good luck with Percy and Grover" he said as I walked back to them.
"Nice ending" Percy said clapping, I smiled as Grover did, we continued talking and walking until Percy had to explain a picture on a stele. He stumbled through it but got enough of it correct, "Do yall need help with mythology?" I asked, "I don't but Percy does, do you know about it?" Grover asked, "I actually know quite a lot, my dad loves it and has made me study it whenever I have had free time since I could read, which I suck at by the way." I shrugged, "I could tutor you" I told Percy.
"You suck at reading?" Grover asked, I sighed before speaking "Well, um, yeah I do but it's not because I don't try. I have dyslexia and adhd, it's really hard to focus on anything."
Grover nodded and excused himself to go to the bathroom, Mr. Brunner wheeled himself after him probably to assist him if he were to fall, "I have the same problems, don't worry" Percy said with a smile, his black hair was messy and his smile was easy going but somewhat nervous, "You okay?" I asked, he nodded and shrugged as we walked out to have lunch before heading back to school. Grover joined us a few minutes later, "Hey, you alright?" Percy asked him, "Yeah" Grover said, "just hungry." I took my lunch out and gave him half of my sandwich then gave Percy my other half before eating my bagel with nutella.
We talked for a while; we shared our lunches as we did. Everything was going great, especially for a first day until Nancy came up with two of her friends. "Hey losers" one of her friends with ratty blonde hair said, Nancy was caring an overly ranchy salad with what looked like chocolate milk spilled in it, "Nasty" I said scrunching up my nose. She smirked at me; her teeth were yellow and crooked. She turned to Grover, who was sitting on the edge of a large water fountain, and dumped it into his lap.
The next second I knew everything went dark and Nancy was screaming that she had been pushed, the ratty blonde was screaming something about a dark cloud and a hand of water while the other blonde was screaming that she couldn't see; her eyes were completely black. Mrs. Dodds ran over looking pissed, Grover stood cleaning himself with more wet naps and Percy looked beyond confused.
What the actual fuck just happened, fucking drama queens and their bullshit.
"Miss. Nox and Mr. Jackson come with me, now" the last part came out as more of a hiss, "Lilith didn't do anything" Percy protested, she growled and grabbed our arms pulling us to the stairs. She looked at us both with pure anger in her beady eyes, "Follow me, children" she hissed before walking off, we turned back to where Grover was cleaning himself and looked to find Nancy and her friend with ratty blonde hair chasing the other blonde who was still screaming something about being blinded. I burst out laughing as she ran into a wall and fell into mud, Percy laughed with me, we turned back to see Mrs. Dodds at the end of the long hallway.
"How did she…fast" Percy said confused, I shrugged and ran after her with him, she had gone into a room at the end of the hall but once we walked in she wasn't there. "Mrs. Dodds?" he called out confused as we looked around. "Which one of you took it, which one of you took the lightning bolt?!" was yelled in a voice close to a hiss, we turned quickly to see Mrs. Dodds standing atop a seven foot crate, "How the fuck did you get up there" I said dazed, Percy made a weird squeaking sound, "Was it you Jackson?!" she hissed as she shuddered, "No! I-I didn't take anything!" he screamed in fear and confusion, she hissed "Liar!" before jumping into the air and shifting into a creature with leathery bat wings, long sharp talons, glowing black eyes that looked something like barbeque coals, her teeth became jagged and sharp.
"A furrie" I choked out, she cackled, "Time to die sweethearts" she said swooping down to Percy, I knocked him out of the way causing Mrs. Dodds to grab my arm with her talons, blood gushed out of a jagged cut she made, I fought against her grasp but couldn't manage to get away. "Percy!" I screamed in pain as she jerked me around digging her talons deeper into my skin. "Percy, what ho!" I turned to see Mr. Brunner and Grover; Percy had a golden sword in his hands.
He waved it to catch Mrs. Dodds attention, he succeeded. She threw me onto the chandelier; I yelped and held onto the side as it swung. Mr. Brunner looked frantic as he looked between Percy and I, Percy looked terrified as he slashed open Mrs. Dodds causing her to evaporate into a pile of sulfuric smelling yellow powder.
"Mr. Brunner!" Percy dropped the sword as I fell onto the marble floor. I shrieked in pain, Mr. Brunner quickly wheeled himself over as Percy ran and dropped to his knees, cradling me in his arms. "Two broken ribs, major bruising, ambrosia and nectar." The words were familiar "God food" I choked, he looked at me hiding a worried smile as they gave the drink and square slices.
*Around three hours later
"Lilith, wake up" I groaned as Percy's voice pulled me from sleep. "What?" I asked as I tried to move but gasped in pain, my arm was bandaged, my back and side were aching, and breathing was more difficult than when I had an asthma attack. He helped me stand and walk over to the full length mirror on the door of my dorm room. I pulled up my shirt; a huge bruise covered half of my back and side. "Fuck" I said fixing my shirt.
"They said it never happened." Percy said confused, "They said it wasn't real" I shook my head, "Oh really? Then how did this all happen?" I said as I sat back down, "Mr. Brunner said you slipped in the museum when you were goofing around, he said because you got hurt so bad that you aren't in trouble, as for your arm he said you cut it on one of the statues when you fell" I shook my again "No. It wouldn't have been this bad…" "Mrs. Dodds is gone; everyone is acting if she never existed.
This went on for the next two months, us being extremely confused and believing we are completely crazy, we both had overwhelming nightmares of the furrie Mrs. Dodds had changed in to. The end of the term was coming, Percy seemed both happy and upset about it, studying became harder but I hoped he could pass.
Exams rolled around, I finished my Latin exam which was mine, Percy's and Grover's last exam, and I finished second to last while Percy was last. He quickly graded them. Percy got a C while I got a B, both of us were happy with that. I started to walk out with him when Mr. Brunner called Percy back in, I waited outside for him.
A dean came by and noticed me, "Hello Miss. Nox, give this letter to your mother please" she said with a smile. As she walked away I tore it open, my heart sunk. I was only here about three months and I was already kicked out, there was no clear reason why though. I just wasn't allowed back next year. I sighed and stuffed the note into my backpack as Percy came out, tears were forming in his eyes, and he wasn't allowed back next year either.
"I'm so sorry" I said hugging him, he sniffled and squeezed me before we both walked back to our dorms to pack everything up.
Thank you for reading, please review leaving feedback. I can only post on the weekends due to school.
