"It started off as a regular day. I mean average regular that it didn't seem to be right! Why am do I sound all afraid…I-I shouldn't sound afraid I mean I just got a large 21 burned onto my forearm! Shit..shut up Percy, it'll be fine that lady's curse wasn't anything!"
Percy Jackson's Point of View
I looked at the '21' that became a scar. I groaned, "Why did I ever agree to go pickpocketing!" I yelled into the air.
The damn Stoll brothers convinced me to go down to the subway lines and pickpocket some dumbasses and we came across a helpless old woman. The Stoll brothers decided to go "help" the woman, but pickpocketed her instead. Although that helpless old woman was some sort of witch because she knew we took money from her and cursed us! The Stolls..well I haven't heard from the Stolls since, but for me I'm stuck with this '21' on my arm.
I sat up from my bed and stretched my arms out. I yawned and stuck my head out, "Good morning New York." I greeted to the unknown person in front of my fireplace. I headed downstairs for breakfast, "Morning mom!" I shouted, grabbing a piece of bacon from my plate.
"Morning sweetie, were you having a nightmare?" My mother, Sally, asked. I looked at her like she is starting to lose her hearing.
"Mom I'm sixteen, why would you think I was having a nightmare?" I asked, grabbing the orange juice carton from the fridge.
"I just assumed since I heard a thud from your room than some sort of soft muttering, I almost assumed it was a horse." She replied, sipping her tea. I looked at her and smiled.
"To much going out mom," I joked, kissing her on the cheek and pouring myself some orange juice. "You should lay off the horseback riding for a while."
"I should." My mom laughed with me. We ate and chatted for a while until I had to get to school, "Bye." She said, handing me my backpack and lunch money. I nodded and hugged her before pulling my sleeve down over the '21' since I don't need another nickname at school.
I walked down the streets with my earphones in my ears. I was distracted thinking about what might of happened to the Stoll brothers and how Katie was going to blame me for what had happened to Travis since he just had to mention where we were at! Damn Stolls..
That is when I felt a tug on my pants. I looked down and saw a red tail that fled into the alleyway, "What has a red tail in this city?" I asked myself, I mean school can wait. ADHD getting the better of me, or was it my constant curiosity? Either way, I followed that red tail.
My curiosity came to a dead end that smelt like rotten apples. I covered my nose and turned around, "Better luck ne-" I stopped my sentence and saw a red fox and a raccoon looking up at me. "Hi?"
The raccoon ran over to me and tugged on my pants. I tried shooing it away, but it was persistent that it eventually bit my pants and held on while I was trying to shake it off. "Ah!" I screamed, jumping on one leg, but eventually the red fox joined and bit my pants. It was like they trying to get my attention about something. "Damn it! Get off!" I screamed until I fell on my back.
I groaned in pain and looked up and my eyes widen in shock. My lips parted and began to tremble in shock. I covered my mouth so I wouldn't shout for help, but I had to bite my palm also.
There was this, this black horse thing with wings! What kind of sick person would mutant a horse to have wings! I know X-Men people would, but this thing is right in front of me not on a screen!
"I'm Blackjack."
Yes another new story. I had to get this one off my chest before I lost it in my mind.
So how is it? I'll update Legacy soon and all the other stories.
