Chapter 1
Eric's POV
I was running through a forest in New York far away from my house. I knew something was chasing me and I knew it would endanger my family and I couldn't let that happen so I ran away from my family and away from my life. Now, let me explain my name is Eric Shaffer (I know weird last name but I was born with it). A/N the A in his last name is pronounced like the A in apple. Anyway as I was running I could hear the loud pounding of the beast's footsteps that was chasing me. I didn't truly know what it was but I had an idea and I knew it could endanger my family and friends so I ran and didn't stop until I couldn't run anymore. Once I stopped running I hid behind a thick tree in hopes that the beast would run straight by me. I saw the tall beast run by and I sighed with relief which was a big mistake. I realized too late that this monster was a combination of a bull and a man. I knew what this monster was; it was the Minotaur from Greek mythology. Now I bet you are wondering why I'm not freaking out about the fact that a monster that isn't supposed to be real is chasing me. Now I am one of the few that this happens to, but fortunately it happened. I am a demigod son of who knows. Anyway back to me pretty much dying. The Minotaur turned sniffed looked exactly where I was and started to run towards me. I stood up knowing that I would have to fight this beast. I reached in the bag that I had brought with me. Now I know that you guys are confused about why I had a bag with me, before the minotaur attacked my I was going to run away anyway because my family was frequently receiving visits from monsters and I wasn't going to continue putting them in danger so I packed some things and was outside when the minotaur attacked. Anyway I reached in my bag and pulled out a black flash drive that you could slide the USB part out with a switch on the flash drive. I pushed the small switch the opposite way it was supposed to go and a dark black sword made out of pure obsidian sprung to life from the flash drive. A while ago I lived in a camp for people like me called Camp Half-Blood and while I was there we were tinkering around with ways to kill monsters and a certain son of Poseidon named Percy Jackson discovered that obsidian could kill monsters just as easy as imperial gold and celestial bronze. Percy Jackson was my one of my best friends when I was at Camp Half-Blood. Earlier I said I didn't know who my godly parent was and that is because the entire time I was at Camp Half-Blood I was never claimed. Now I guess it's time to fight. The bull-man charged at me and I rolled out of the way to avoid being steamrolled. (When I was at camp the Minotaur was a frequent visitor trying to attack the camp and me and Percy got bored of the name Minotaur and started calling him the bull-man). Mr. Bull man turned roared at me and charged again. This time before I dodged I threw my sword at the Minotaur and then dodged. As my sword made contact the Minotaur screamed in rage. Now I was confused I had hit it with my sword but it wasn't dying. The bull-man turned and I realized I had only scratched him because I didn't see my sword. I turned and looked at where he had charged from and saw my sword impaled in a tree. He looked at me with a hint of hate in his eyes and slammed his fist into me and sent me flying back into my sword hilt which hit me in the ribs and then he grabbed me and threw me into another tree about 150 yards away. I guess the minotaur got tired of full on trying to tackle me before I could get to my sword the Minotaur bull rushed me (he he see what I did there) and grabbed my around my neck. He hoisted me up in the air and started choking me. The bull-man roared in my face which I assumed was bull for I gotcha now bitch. Then right as I was about to black out an arrow appeared in the Minotaur's chest and he disintegrated. I fell to the ground and started coughing. The person that had shot the arrow ran over to me and asked "Are you alright Bulls eye" a feminine voice said. Now I swear by Zeus's pants that I had heard that voice before. Then it registered what she had called me, she had called me Bull's eye which was a nickname I got from camp. Then the voice registered in my brain and I realized who had saved me. I looked up to see the face of my all-time best friend when I was at Camp Half-Blood Jenny Mathew's daughter of Zeus and my child-hood friend. Then she looked at me with a gleam of victory in her eyes and said "We have a lot to catch upon Eric". I nodded and replied "But first let's get me back to camp because I'm not felling so well" and then blacked out. When I came to I looked around and could tell that I was in the infirmary at Camp Half-Blood because I saw a lot of Satyr's and Apollo kids bustling about trying to tend to all of the wounded. I looked up to see Jenny sitting on a stool next to my bed. I noticed that she was wearing dark blue skinny jeans a white tank top and a black low-cut jacket. She grinned at me "Welcome back to the world of the living Rapio" she said. Rapio was the Latin translation of goof, she called me that because before I left I used to always almost get myself killed and she just started calling me that from that point forward. "Thanks' Sparky" I replied and she giggled at the nickname I had given her a little bit after we had first met. Now let me give you a brief description of Jenny. She has blonde hair, electric blue eyes (this being the result of her being a daughter of Zeus), she is about 5'6, he is skinny but she isn't anorexic skinny most of her Weight is muscle and she weighs about 112 lbs. I sat up and groaned from the sharp pain I felt in my chest. "Hey take it easy Eric the Minotaur broke a couple of your ribs and your left arm so you are going to be in pain for a little while" she exclaimed seeming a little worried about me. A/N: I don't know if this is how ambrosia and Nectar heal wounds but you are still in pain for a little while afterwards so remember that through ought the story. "I'll be fine" I groaned trying to ease her worry about me. Alright now it's time to explain some things. I got the nickname Bulls Eye because my weapon of whenever I would use a projectile weapon I would never miss my target. I am 6'3, I weigh 198 lbs. I have hair the color of a panther and I am very athletic. "So since we have a lot of catching up to do Jenny why don't we start now?" I asked her. She looked at me and told me "I would but I have a date with my boyfriend". "Oh alright maybe another time" I replied. I was upset because the last time I was here I almost asked her out but my some kid named Mathew came to camp, got claimed and ended up being a son of Poseidon. He thought that he was the best person ever and he was always making fun of people and saying that he is so much better than them. That is why I left because he kept challenging me and framing me for things that I didn't do. Nobody liked me because of what he was doing except for Jenny, my half-brother, David (he is cool), Percy (you know who that is so no need to explain) and a couple of other people that came with me but disappeared within a couple of hours of us leaving. Jenny didn't leave because she thought that the camp would need someone like her during this strange time. I told Mathew before I left that I would be back and that he would regret ever messing with me and ever being born. Just then a guy with a hat that was blocking his face walked in to the infirmary. "What are you doing here with this loser Jenny" the guy exclaimed. "He isn't a loser he was one of my old friends but something bad happened and he had to leave" she defended me. "In fact you know this quote unquote loser" Jenny informed him. "Oh I do?" he exclaimed. The reason he couldn't see my face was because I had a blanket over my face. After a couple of seconds I recognized the voice and looked up at him the same time he took of his hat. I then saw the face of the person I wanted to see the least in the world right now, Mathew the asshole that framed me and made me leave. "I remember this loser he was a pour sport when I got her because I was better than him" Mathew said as he chuckled. I looked up at him with a glare in my eyes "You did everything and framed me, you kept challenging me to fight's because you thought you were better than me" I spat out, literally spitting in his face. He growled at me then punched me in the face. "You really think that anybody would believe that me, the great Mathew Jenkins framed you the loser of Camp Half-Blood of doing bad things?" he grinned at me. "Mathew why did you do that, he is injured from a fight with the Minotaur alright so either you leave or you be nice to him" Jenny shouted at him. He looked at Jenny "I am the head person in this relationship so you do what I want" he winked at her "See you later babe" he cackled as he walked away. I looked at Jenny surprised and confused as hell. "Look Eric I can explain" she stuttered. "No, you don't need to I get what's going on here" I spat. "Alright now let me say what I believe is going on here" I said as I sat up. "While I was gone that motherfucker told all of yall that I tried to hurt you and everyone believed it even you and then later he hypnotized you into dating him" I explained. "Look I know you don't like him so why are you dating him?" I asked Jenny with confusion. "Well everybody at camp figured that the only daughter of Zeus here should date the only mortal son of Poseidon alive and I couldn't let the camp down" she explained. "Oh so you didn't even care how much it would hurt me when I got back?" I asked her. "Look Eric I gotta go I'll see you around" she said with disappointment in her voice as she walked away. I laid back in my bed and fell asleep with a sigh. A couple of hours later an Apollo camper woke me up telling me that I was free to leave. I looked at the camper and figured out his name was Ted from his nametag. "Hey Ted what did jenny mean earlier when she said that Mathew is the only living known son of Poseidon, Percy is still alive isn't he?" I asked with traces of worry in my voice. Everybody knew how me and Percy were pretty much brother with how close we were. "Look Eric I know this might make you very sad, but while you were gone Mathew was challenging Percy trying to get him to leave just like he had done to you" Ted explained. "But Mathew took it a little too far and made out with Annabeth right in front of Percy and she didn't even care. So once he saw them he asked Annabeth one question, Why? And then plunged Riptide into his heart and killed himself" Ted said with tears rolling down his cheeks. "How long ago did this happen" I asked. "Only about 2 months ago" he answered. "Well, uh thanks for helping me and explaining to me where Percy is I'll see you around" I cried with tears rolling down my cheek as I walked out of the infirmary. I walked down to the beach because it reminded me of Percy and how kind hearted he was. I thought to myself "Why would anybody want to do this to Percy, he was the best friend I had ever had". I screamed into the air realizing that I officially now had nobody with me. All of my friends were probably dead, and Jenny pretty much gave up on me when she started dating Mathew. I was walking around when I stepped on something weird. I looked down and saw a sea green velvet box. I picked it up, opened it and saw a ring with an owl on it. I studied the ring and saw that on the bottom there was a message. This message said these exact words "I love you now and forever wise girl, Percy" I put the ring back into the box realizing what had happened. Since Percy and Mathew were half-brothers that means that Mathew had access to Percy's things. Mathew found the ring, realized that Percy was going to propose to Annabeth and made up a plan to get Annabeth to cheat on Percy with him. I stuffed the ring in my pocket and stormed to the arena because I saw a lot of people gathering there. When I got there I saw all of the gods including Hade's and Hestia, both of which had fancy thrones. I sat down and listened so that I could know what was going on. Zeus stood and declared with these exact words "Every hero that has served in any of the past war's or deserves it will be granted immortality". He gave immortality to all of the war heroes then some of the other people that really deserved it. "There are only two more immortality spots left and I am going to give these spots to the two best heroes at this camp" he said. I smiled and stood up knowing that I would be one of those people. "Alright these two heroes areā¦.. My daughter Jenny Mathews and her boyfriend Mathew Johnson" Zeus declared and everybody cheered. I stood up outraged "WHAT WHY IN HADES ARE YOU GAVING IMMORTALITY TO A SHITTY CAMPER LIKE MATHEW" I shouted. "Because I am better than you in every aspect you little no parent freak" Mathew exclaimed. "You see your parents didn't claim you because the never wanted you dumbfuck" Mathew shouted. Then Zeus looked at me "Mathew is exactly right, nobody knows who your parent is you worthless worm" Zeus exclaimed. "You know what I challenge Mathew Johnson to a fight right here right now to finally prove who is better" I exclaimed. "Alright I accept your challenge you worthless piece of shit" Mathew declared with pride. "Alright meet back here in 15 minutes and bring every weapon and piece of armor you have" I said. "Because you're going to need it" and then I walked away to the Hephaestus armory so that I could sharpen my weapons and once that was done I went back to the arena and practiced until he finally showed up. I then looked at him and realized that he had on heavy armor all over his body (which is going to be easy to get through the wink points). We walked to our starting points. "Ready, set, BEGIN" Chiron announced. Of course he charged at me and I sidestepped grabbing his arm and pulling off the piece of armor on his right arm. He turned and looked surprised and then he charged again, and again until he had nothing left but his sword, shield and his bow and arrows. He screamed with frustration and swung his sword at me. I sidestepped (again) and slashed up with my sword which by the way is named Foudre which h means Lightning in French which I named after Jenny because she is a daughter of Zeus. He growled in pain and then slashed at me which I blocked with Foudre and then kicked him in the shin. He fell to his knees and as he fell I kicked him in the face. He fell back for a little bit and as this happened I turned to the crowd which was booing me because I was beating their pore little Mathew. I turned around right as he sent an arrow towards me. I dropped my sword and caught the arrow between my hands. I threw it on the ground and ran at him and drop kicked him and knocked him on his ass. Then I picked up the arrow I had stabbed into the ground, walked over to him and stabbed it into his shoulder. I looked up at the crowd "I win game over" I said and then walked away. I walked to my cabin (which was the Hermes cabin) and gather everything I thought I would need and walked towards the gate. I stopped at the gate, turned around and saw Jenny standing at the entrance to the arena staring at me. I shook my head and walked out of Camp Half-Blood, forever.
