Hi! So this is my first fanfic EVER! Please be nice : )

I do not own anything Percy Jackson (though I wanna)

I knew it. I knew I shouldn't have gone to my spring concert that evening at school. It started with my dreams the following day. My dreams aren't the normal kind of dreams a 'normal' person would have. They feel so real and in every dream, there are always the same people. I have caught their names occasionally. There was a boy with black hair and sea green eyes named Percy. The girl Annabeth with blond curly hair and stormy gray eyes. There was a thing also. I didn't know what he was but the lower part of his body was, I don't know, donkey maybe? The upper part of his body was a normal appearance of a boy with some acne and a wispy start of a beard whose name was Grover. It was usually these three people. Sometimes there was others like the girl with spiky black hair and intense blue eyes. Her name was Thalia. Also there was the sad Goth boy named Nico. Most of the kids I saw had an orange T-shirt that says Camp Half-Blood.

Enough of that though. My name is Hailey Kendall. I live in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. I have brown hair and light blue eyes like the sea on a nice day. I don't have many friends, just two. They are Hank Chestnut and Rowan Jacobs. Hank is a guy with blond curly hair and brown eyes. If you wanted to get on his bad side (which no sane, human person should do) then touch his hair. He will go totally ballistic. Also, he walks funny, like every step hurts him, but you should see him run when the cafeteria is serving tacos. He shoots off like a bullet. Rowan on the other hand isn't so… like Hank I'll say. He has wavy brown hair and gray eyes, scary familiar to the eyes Annabeth has in my dreams. He's also a super smarty pants person.

Back to that evening. In my dream, I could only hear a voice. The man's voice was low and grave.

"You will not fail again, correct?"

In the shadows, I could make out a bull head on a body. No I'm not crazy (hopefully). The head of a bull with beady red eyes was placed on top of a muscular dudes body whom was only wearing a pair of Fruit the Looms underwear. Yeah that ruined the macho man picture. The man spoke again.

"You will not make the same mistake as you did for Perseus Jackson or else your head will be at the blade of my knife understood?"

The bull-man nodded. He did not seem afraid like he has been at that blade many times already.

"Go find the girl and her friends then bring them back here for me."

With that I woke up.

When I got to school, the first thing I did was look for Hank and Rowan. I found them in the back of the room we were supposed to be waiting in until our choirs were to be called. I went over and sat with them. When I got over there, I found Hank looking pretty worried. He was looking around frantically chewing on his shirt like he usually does when he gets nervous.

"Hey guys" I said.

"Hey Hailey" Rowan said

He nudged Hank who looked more than a little startled.

"Oh hey Hailey"

"What's wrong Hank? You look nervous and you're chewing up your shirt like you usually do."

Hank didn't answer.

"Hey man," I started "Are you having stage fright? It's just a little concert and you're not even going to be alone up there-"

I was cut off by Hank saying "It's not that, it's just, I don't feel safe here."

"Dude, it's school, the worst thing they can do to us is give us extra work to do." Rowan said.

"That's still pretty bad" I muttered.

Hank looked around as if to make sure no one was looking at us, then spoke. "Look guys, while we're on stage, I want you to be looking at me at all times."

"Won't that be a little creepy looking?" I asked.

"Doesn't matter," Hank answered "What does matter is that if something weird happens, like really weird, then I'm going to give you a cue to leave immediately and meet me here."

Rowan spoke up first. "Look Hank, you're my friend and everything, but you're really starting to creep me out. Nothing is going to happen and-"

I cut him off. "Wait, just, what if something is blocking our path to get here?" I asked. I was starting to believe that something bad was going to happen during the concert.

"Oh! Thanks for reminding me Hailey!" Hank then pulled out two bracelets, a silver one and a green one, and a watch and a click pen. He gave me the two bracelets and Rowan the watch and pen. "Use these to protect yourselves. I will trust you to know how to use them correctly."

Rowan and I exchanged worried looks. I now honestly thought my poor, dear friend has officially lost his mind.

"Okay then Hank" Rowan said as he put the pen into his pocket and put his watch on.

"As your friends, we're trusting you" I said as I put on the bracelets, green on the left and silver on the right.

Little did I know, that this was the beginning of a long night.
