Hi this is a one shot (that may turn into a story if you guys like it that much) that might cause the uncontrollable urge to cry or melt into a puddle of sadness. It made me teary eyed reading it. So if you are super emotional GET A BOX OF TISSUES RIGHT NOW. Okay that is all.
Oh one more thing. I swear on the River Styx that I don't own one piece of Percy Jackson.
PUPPY DOG
My name is Alison Bell. I have curly red hair like my mom and green eyes, like my dad. I have been kicked out of almost 13 schools because I always end up fighting, and beating up, one of the school bullies. I have ADHD, I am almost 16 years old, do not know my father, and I am the fastest girl runner on the cross country team. The fastest boy runner is this guy named Lucas. He is so fast and super cute too. He has dark brown hair and sparkling baby blue eyes.
Then there is Katelyn, A.K.A. Puppy Dog. She has blond hair with pink streaks in it. She isn't the fastest runner but she is really good. She has been following me around since the schools drama production last year. She is the head of the school's protect the planet club. (There are only like 7 people in the club... 8 counting me) Juniper was Katelyn's best friend before I moved here. Now she keeps following me around but I don't care. A lot of the kids are mean here so it is nice to have a friend who is actually friendly. I stuck up for her in the Play last year and then she decided to follow me around.
Katelyn acts funny sometimes. Like there is this... crippled kid... Grover who is around school. He Is Lucas's best friend. Well whenever Grover is around, Katelyn and Juniper start giggling and then walk over and talk to him. I used to think they both liked him, but then I heard them say, "She smells strong that one... Alison..."
After that I wore perfume. Sometimes when she followed me I would push her away, especially when I was talking to Josh...
"Hey Ali!" A voice shouts. I turn around to see Katelyn sprinting down the hall. "Hey Puppy Dog, What's up?"
She smiles, "Oh nothin' You?"
"I am doing well thank you, Time for lunch. I haven't seen you all morning. Where were you?" I ask as we walk down the hall.
"With Grover and Juniper. The school gave us permission to plant some trees and flowers in the field for our club." She says with a huge smile.
I sigh, "Well, you missed History with Mr. Brunner and then you missed Math, we had a substitute because Ms. Gardner wasn't in. How come I wasn't invited? I am in the club too ya know."
Katelyn smirks and says, "She was helping us with out garden. And are you the president, vice president, or Student ambassador of the club... No."
I chuckle. I always found it funny how Ms. Gardner loved to garden. Miss Katie Gardner. (*cough* *cough* you should know who that is *cough* *cough*...)
She is super kind. Her boyfriend's name is Travis Stoll. She told us during the first meeting of the club. She told us all about her and her boyfriend. She said they went to the same camp when they were younger.
Katelyn and I walk to lunch together. We sit down at our table, far away from the popular kids. We were chatting for a while when one of the popular girls, Kelli walks up with her followers, Jaclyn and Marilyn. "What's up dorks? Found any friends lately." Her followers snicker and I roll my eyes, "I have more than you." I say staring her in the face.
"What are you talking about, you got this piece of junk." She gestures to Katelyn, "And then what, your buddies from that Save The Earth club?" Normally it wouldn't bother me if she picked on me, but when you pick on my friends, you cross a line that should not have been crossed.
"I have actual friends." I say standing up, "You have Followers People who 'Follow' you because they are afraid of being picked on. People who claim to be friends with you to avoid the humiliation you cause. But I am done with your attitude. Every day, we mind our own business and you come over and pick on us. You are a bully and since the rest of these kids are too afraid to speak up I will."
Kelli's eyes narrow as I stand on a table, "KELLI IS THE WORST. SHE IS A BULLY AND I WILL TELL THE WORLD, EVERYDAY SHE PICKS ON SOME TIMID LITTLE CHILD AND GETS AWAY WITH IT, SHE DOES THIS FOR FUN." I turn away from the rest of the students and back to Kelli, "AND YOU WONT WIN BECAUSE WHEN YOU ATTACK ONE OF US-" I turn back to the students and throw my fist in the air, "YOU ATTACK US ALL!"
This earns a cheer from everyone, except Kelli and her two favorite followers. Kelli growls and lunges at me. I fall back off the table and for a second I thought her nails looked ten times longer.
She claws at my face and punches my gut. I punch her in the nose and knee her in the stomach. Kids gather around us and yell, "FIGHT FIGHT!" while others scream, "KICK HER BUTT ALISON!" I feel my senses go on overdrive. I puch her in the gut, rake my nails across her face, and dodge nearly everything she throws at me.
We fought like this for about five minutes before a senior, Percy Jackson, pulled the two of us apart. Kelli has blood dripping down her face and arms. I however have a scratch on my face and can barely breathe. I think I won.
Percy takes Kelli outside and then a minute or two later he comes back for me.
"Come with me please Alison, you too Katelyn."
I walk down with him, but not with shame, with pride. I finally stood up to her, and I won. I look behind me and find Katelyn, Juniper, Grover, and- whoa- Josh.
Josh walks up next to me and smiles, "Nice job teaching her who's boss, I better go, good luck."
Before he leaves Percy says, "Wait Josh how about you come too." Josh just shrugs and walks next to me. I feel my cheeks turn bright red.
We walk into the office and Mr. Brunner and my mother are there. Wow she got here fast. "Hi mom, Mr. Brunner?" My mom smiles grimly and Mr. Brunner's eyes shine with pride. I sit down next to my mom and listen to them speak. "Sweetheart, we want to send you to a special camp. Is that okay with you?"
I nod looking down. I bet this is a camp for children with special needs.
Katelyn cheers and says, "I'll get her there, can we take Josh along?" Mr. Brunner nods and Josh tilts his head in confusion. "Where am I going?"
Percy smiles deviously and says, "I'll drive them, come on, follow me."
I take one last look at my mom and follow Percy Jackson.
"We are driving towards the Long Island Sound?" Josh and I say after getting seated.
"Yep." Percy says eyes fixed on the road. I sigh and look out the window. I scream and point at this massive demon shaped figure landing near the car. Percy swerves and speeds past multiple cars. The car flips over and it lands on its roof in the middle of a field.
"DARN IT! THAT IS THE THIRD PRIUS IN LIKE- 6 MONTHS!" Percy screams kicking the door open. Katelyn pulls me out of the car and Josh climbs out after me. Grover waves his hand in a follow me gesture so Josh and Juniper follow him.
I don't move. I have seen that demon lady before, in my dreams.
Percy pulls out a pen and yells, "Go I got this!" Katelyn grabs my hand but I don't move. I looks at the monster and know instantly where it's weak points are.
I run forward and hear Percy and Katelyn yell, "NO!" I lunge at it's neck and kick it with the back of my foot. It turns around irritated. I reach for my necklace, I have no idea why. I rip it off and throw it in the air and when it comes back down it is a sword. I look at it wide eyed but continue to fight.
I slash at it's neck twice and then flip off of it's back. I swipe under it's wing and it crumbles to dust. I turn around and find a creature with the body of a lion s human face and a leathery, spiky tail. I back up and feel my senses on overdrive. I look back to Katelyn and Percy and find Percy doubled over clutching his head and screaming.
I look around him and see these demon things circling Percy. They are shouting something that I can't hear but I turn my attention back to the Lion/human hybrid thing. It lunges at me and tries to bite my face. I hear another monster approach me. I turn around and find a Minotaur. Everyone knows what those are... Then these giant dogs surround me. I hyperventilate.
They all lunge at once, I scream but Katelyn jumps in front of me and throws me out of the way. I land on my back near Percy and hear what those Demon things are saying. "Perseus Jackson you let him die, you lied to him, left him with Hades, and then left him to die. You called yourself a friend, you were a monster, join his fate, let our friends kill you."
I get up and run over to Katelyn who got thrown aside. Blood gushing from her arms and legs. I scream and slash all of the monsters away. It seemed like forever but they all were gone. I look up and Find Percy heavily breathing and looking around worriedly.
I let a tear roll down my cheek as I sprint over the Katelyn.
"No-no Katelyn no!" I scream trying to apply pressure to her wounds.
"You-You have to get to camp, leave me here, Percy will take you-" She starts to cough up blood and she can barely breathe, "You have to go."
"No-Katelyn I can't loose you, you were my first friend in this school!" I sob furiously throwing paper towels over her gashes and cuts.
Percy wobbles over muttering, "Bob-bob-bob."
My tears fall onto her cuts and scrapes, but it is all covered by blood. My hands are soaked in blood and the blood soaked into my clothes.
"Go." She says pushing me away with a very forced smile, "I am glad we got to be friends."
With that her head goes slack and I scream and cry. Katelyn was my only true friend. Even if I pushed her away sometimes and called her annoying I truly looked at her as a friend-sister. Percy tries to pull me away but I want to stay with her.
Percy's words are a blur, I can't hear a word. I just hear her words repeating over and over again.
"I am glad we got to be friends." How could she think that, I was so rude. Whenever Josh was around I pushed her away. I told her she was annoying and didn't talk to her for a week and a half. She was a year younger than me and I just pushed her away!
Percy shakes my shoulders and says, "We have to go, more monsters on the way. I know a safe place, we have to go."
I nod but before I get up I whisper, "Goodbye Puppy Dog."
Hey guys did you cry? I will make this a story if you want me too, Just tell me :) byeeeeee
