I'll try to write everything from Percy's POV, but if you dont like it that way... you could always REVIEW. REVIEW please! It'll really help ! :D Hope y'all like it! *crossed fingers.
DISCLAIMER. so.. uhm. you know how that goes right?
I woke up in an unfamiliar classroom. There were a lot of students here, but the room was quit spacious so it didn't bother me. There was a book shelf on one side of the room filled with dozens of textbooks. I noticed that I was wearing an orange t-shirt and a pair of denim jeans and Reeboks. My shirt only had one word in it that said CAMP. I had this bead necklace around my neck. I examined it and saw that it had five beads on it. Each bead had strange symbols painted on it but I didn't know what they were or what they meant.
Beside me sat a girl about the same age as me, but I couldn't tell what age exactly and that kind of bothered me. I didn't know her, or any of the kids around here. Heck, I didn't even know who the teacher was or what schools this was. I also didn't know how I got in here or where I came from. Even more, I didn't know why I was here. Somehow I didn't have the slightest idea of where I was before I woke up. The girl beside me interrupted my train of thought.
"Psst! Percy!" She whispered. I got the feeling that she was talking to me because somehow, I thought, my name was Percy. That felt a little reassuring. A t least I remembered one thing. But Percy what? I thought. So, I didn't know my last name… great.
"Percy, are you still feeling alright?" she whispered again. I noticed that she had a British accent. She had light brown hair and was cut just above her shoulder. She had fair white skin and amazing blue eyes. She was wearing this green sleeveless top and paired it with skinny jeans and a pair of sandals. Despite the ordinariness of what she was wearing, she pulled it off and looked quite good. Slow down there boy. I thought. I got the feeling that I shouldn't have thought that about her.
"Percy, are you sure you don't feel dizzy anymore?" she began to whisper again. "You should have stayed in the clin-"
"MISS NINA JONES!" the teacher interrupted her. She looked very ugly. And I know that might sound really harsh and you would've thought "Gee Percy, at least you should have said she didn't look like any average teacher" but she really was ugly. Her hair was short and snake-like. I don't even know where that came from but I got the feeling that I know what snake-like hairs look like.
"Miss Jones, perhaps you would like to translate this phrase?" she said in her weird voice pointing towards the board.
Looking at it, I didn't understand what it meant. Maybe because as soon as I saw the words, the letters just started dancing around. Great, I don't remember anything AND I'm dyslexic? What's next? ADHD? I thought sarcastically, but somehow being dyslexic wasn't much of a shocker to me.
The girl beside me, who I presumed to be Nina Jones, answered.
"Yeah, uhmm right. Well…" she thought about it for moment then continued to answer. The teacher considered her answer for a moment then said "Oui, bienassez proche. Vous pouvezvous asseoir. "
I assumed this was French class, because Nina Jones sat down and which meant that whatever she said in French, she was correct. Also, I got only one word out of what the teacher said, which was oui. Awesome. I thought. Nothing like waking up in French class with no memory whatsoever.
She began to continue her lesson but was interrupted by the bell which meant the class was over. Thank the gods! Wait, thank the gods? Where did that come from? But it didn't feel unfamiliar. Just surprising. As I was about to stand up and head for the door someone called me.
"Percy, a moment please." The teacher said in her weird voice. It was kind of snake-like which got me thinking how she would've have managed to teach a class with it.
Nina Jones looked at me, her eyes full of concern. I'm not sure why she would even bother. Its not like we're friends. At least I thought we weren't .But she may have another idea in mind.
"Well, uhm… I'll see you later then Percy?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, sure" I said as casual as I could. " See you later" I added. Boy was I wrong. And so she left the classroom.
I headed over the teacher's table which was in front. She was waiting for me, sitting on the table with her arms folded and her snake-like eyes fixed on me. Now I know that was going too far with the insult but that's just what I saw. Her pupils seemed to shimmer from slits and back to normal human pupils. It felt weird but somehow I managed to ignore this thinking it might be just my imagination.
I reached her table and she still studied me with those creepy eyes. I saw one of her books with her name on it. I tried my best to read it and was confused. Ms. Poop? I thought. What kind of name is Poop? I examined again just to be sure that it wasn't the dyslexia messing around.
"Uhh, you wanted to talk to me..." I paused to think if her name was really Ms. Poop but was saved by the embarrassment because a girl with blonde hair came in.
"Ms. Poop?" Aha! So her name was Ms. Poop I thought. "Uhm, I wanted to.." she paused and looked at me then Ms. Poop then back again to me as if she was weighing the situation "… to ask you about something." She finished.
"It can wait later Reyna." Ms. Poop said dismissively and the girl called Reyna left the room.
"So Ms. Poop, you wanted to talk to me?" I asked
"Let's stop playing games here Percy Jackson!" she said menacingly.
Percy Jackson? I thought. Is she talking about me? "I don't know what you mean Miss-"I began
"Of course you don't! Juno thinks her little exchange project would work. But my mistress wishes to dispose of you quickly." She said.
"Wait, you mean Hera? The Greek goddess of marriage and stuff?" I asked although surprise that I knew the name.
"Well, technically yes. But it matters not what her name is. My mistress wishes to end her plans early, especially with the slight mess up with those Greek demigods" she said and her for shimmered. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks but this was real! Her hair that was so snake-like was starting to move until they were real snakes. Her eyes began to glow turning into slits and she bared her fangs. Her body shimmered and I saw that her body from the waist down became a huge serpent's body.
"You will not meddle with my patron's plans Percy Jackson!" she shouted and lunged at me. She crashed into me and we knocked down some of the tables and chairs around us. Her hands were gripping my neck so tight it was very difficult to breathe. She bared her teeth and tried to bite me. As soon as her teeth touched my skin they shattered like it was made of glass.
"What the?- "She looked as shocked as I was. This definitely wasn't supposed to happen.
"I don't understand- you-"she said totally dumfounded and her hands slightly lost its grip on my neck enough for me think.
She's totally shocked! I thought and grabbed the opportunity. I reached into my pocket and grabbed my pen. I wasn't sure how I knew what to do but it felt natural. Like this was something I've done dozens of time before. I uncapped the pen and it expanded into a bronze sword. It felt completely balance in my hands.
She saw the blade and began to act but I was too quick for her. I swung the sword and sliced her head off clean. Instantly, her body turned to sand and I got plenty of it on my face which was not at all pleasant. You think having sand on your face is bad, try having monster sand.
The door burst open and the girl called Reyna burst in holding a dagger in one hand.
"You?" she said "How did you- but-. You killed her?" She asked in disbelief.
I stood up and pointed my sword at her." If you too are going to turn into some... freaky thing again. You better back off!" I warned at her. But she sheathed her dagger back and held her hands up.
"Relax" she began "I'm not a monster. But there are a lot more coming if you don't come with me to camp." She said. Something in those grey stormy eyes of hers made me feel that I could trust her somehow.
"Okay" I said as I recapped my sword and it turned back into a normal pen and placed it back in my pocket. Somehow I knew that would happen. "But you better explain everything to me. And I mean everything." I said she nodded.
"Where is this camp anyway?" I asked not sure of what she meant by camp.
"Don't worry" she said smiling. "You'll see." And we that we headed out of the classroom.
I looked back at the pile of sand that was once Ms. Poop.
"Vous verrez plus tard, le visage de serpent." And followed Reyna outside…
SO that was my first chapter. Hope y'all liked it! I hope you dont mind the french thing though, I thought it'd add a nice touch to it. ;)
BTW, the teacher said "yes, close enough. you may sit down" and Percy said "See you later, snake face."
Hate it? Love it? REVIEW!REVIEW!REVIEW! :)
