Chapter-1 John P.O.V
It was a normal day hanging out with my friends Robbie, Sean, and Jeremy in P.E., the last class of the day.
"Man I can't wait till 7th grade ends! This is absolute torture, and the class won't f***in shut up!" Jeremy whispered to us.
Jeremy, in my opinion is a good looking guy. I'm not gay or anything but I see why some girls might like him. At a height of 5'3 He has short cut black hair, and also has a really good tan, but the one key thing about him is his personality, he's a great person, he would do anything to stop violence, at any cost.
"We know how you feel." I said gesturing to me and my other friend Robbie.
Robbie isn't the sharpest needle in the haystack, most of the time. At a height of 5' 3 he has somewhat long brown hair like mine, and chocolate brown eyes. He may act weird some of the time but he's a good person. Robbie is one of those people who are very interested in mythical RPG games like pathfinder.
Now, on to me, at a height of 5'4, roughly, I have somewhat light brown hair and have golden brown eyes. In my opinion I'm a very kind person, and stand up for my friends. I stand my ground when faced with something challenging, I love to build things, and I'm also in an engineering class at school.
"OK class today we will be working on sword fighting. We will be using real swords so no hurting your opponents please." The gym teacher said as two new figures came through the gym doors, strange, I thought, we never did sword fighting in gym, much less real swords. The first figure that came out was a guy about 6'2 who had unruly black hair, sea green eyes; he was muscular but not too much. He looked oddly familiar but I couldn't decide where. The second figure was a girl, she was muscular like the other guy but again wasn't too stocky, she also had natural honey blonde hair and stood about 5'11 to 6 feet tall, and the strangest thing about her was her eyes, they were grey and they looked friendly and dangerous at the same time,she again looked familiar but I couldn't place where. "Class, these are your sword instructors for the day." Coach said "Can you introduce yourselves?"
The girl said "My name is Annabeth and as your coach said I will be your sword instructor for today, and my Boyfriend Percy will be joining me." As the coach calls role I studied Annabeth and Percy, they looked so familiar I just can't place what place I remember them from. The coach calls my name "Here" I say.
"OK, so we will work with partners, does anyone want to volunteer?" Percy said as Sean and I raised our hands. I was a little surprised at that; Sean really never was a fighter, more of a prankster.
Now, Sean is an odd person but a good person none the less. He has short platinum blonde hair, now before you go saying that he's dumb; he has two honors classes at this school and plays in band with braces as a trumpet player, quick comment I have the same band class as him as well and I play a different instrument, ok back on track, Sean isn't really an aggressive person as I was saying so I was a little surprised.
The sword rack held several different types of weapons; two sets of swords donned the rack, one being a set of two katana like blades and the other being a normal sword. Another one was daggers; there were four sets of daggers on it, all razor sharp. The last one was a few sets of spears, again razor sharp. All the weapons glinted with some kind of different metal. I took the dual swords and Sean took the normal sword.
"No fair." Sean grumbled "You got the better weapon." I snickered "Yes, yes I did."
"Ok, the objective is to disarm your opponent of their weapons using any means necessary." Annabeth said "On Go." she says "3, 2, 1, GO!"
Sean immediately tried to lunge at me, I dodged, and I stabbed at him, he deflected it, he tried a downward strike with his wooden sword, which I blocked with my wooden swords as a giant X. I shifted my swords to the side to deflect the strike; I shifted the bottom sword so it was on top forcing the blade down. I pinned his arm with my foot, and used the other to kick the sword out of his hand.
"I believe, that means, I win." I smirked as Sean got up and picked up his sword and walked away, grumbling.
"Ok, we will be working with partners on this assignment." Coach said "John since you won you get to pick your partner." "Ok, I choose, Jeremy." I said as Jeremy's head snapped up at the mention of his name.
"Jeremy you'll be sparring with me for today." I said "Ok, so, let's get going." He replied. I zoned out after I heard Sean was sparring with Robbie. "Ok, you may begin sparring with your partner." Percy said; Jeremy and I began to spar. He had a spear and I still had my dual swords. He thrust at me and I blocked, I swiped at him, he blocked, barely, I saw my opening and took it, I thrust with one of my swords, he blocked, I smirked "Wrong move." I said. Jeremy just looked at me confused; I landed a blow on top of his spear and forced it down to the ground "Ha Ha, I win!"
After everyone else was done sparring we all filed out of the gym some going to the bus stop, like me, or some just went on their way to walk home. "So, see you soon guys, come on Sean." I said, but right after I said that a giant figure came bounding out of nowhere. It was the size of a small house and was staring at me and my friends with red glowing eyes, it looked like a very huge, very shaggy Doberman, and it was baring its teeth. I was paralyzed; it felt like my feet turned to concrete, I was stuck. My friends were also paralyzed, until a two figures came out of nowhere, they jumped on the beast and grappled with it. I must have imagined it but I thought I saw, "Annabeth, Percy!" I said "Did you guys see that, it's the sword instructors." I saw all of them nod. Jeremy said "Guys I think it would be best to run, like RIGHT NOW!" we ran, I looked back to see Percy finally striking it down with his sword, it turned into golden dust, and just blew away. "Guys I think its safe now." I said walking back to Percy and Annabeth, as I was walking towards her they got a shocked look on their faces, Percy yelled "Your hands are on fire!" I looked down and noticed my hands were actually on fire; I panicked and tried to get the fire out as best I could, shaking my hands I managed to get the fire out.
"You guys need to come with us, now!" Annabeth said. "Why should we go with you? We barely even know you." Sean said. "Sean. I have a feeling that we can trust these people." I answered."Look we need you to come with us, you're in danger!" Percy said
"Ok, ok, but just a sec. can you explain what the hell is going on" Jeremy said, clearly agitated "We have no idea what just happened so we need some answers, now!" next Sean went ahead and asked "Like why the hell did that just happen?"
"We'll explain on the way, come on." Annabeth said "We need to get you out of here. Can you get us a ride Percy?", "Yeah, sure" Percy answered. He then let out a taxi cab whistle so loud I bet people could hear it from the next city. "A little warning next time!" Robbie said "Whistling hurts my ears."
"Oh, sorry about that." Percy said "I'll try to give a warning next time." Just as he said that, four figures swooped down to the ground, at first I thought I was hallucinating, but then I realized that these were Pegasus, winged horses. "Guys come here a second will ya?" I said "This is all starting to make sense now. Robbie do you remember the Percy Jackson series?" "Vaguely." He answered "Sean?" "Ditto on your answer." Sean answered "Jeremy?" "Nope no idea whatsoever." Jeremy said. "Ok unless this is a major prank then I think we should go with them." I said "Come on" we walked over to them "Ok take us to your camp then." I said.
"Quick question. How do you know that?" Percy said and I zipped my lips, "Oh great, now their playing games." He said. "No better than you with me." Annabeth said slapping his arm lightly "Touché" he said"Come on lets go now we're wasting time."
I saw Percy and Annabeth get on a pure black Pegasus and took off; we all go on ours and followed his lead and we soared into the sky.
