Chapter 1: I am Attacked by a Spitball-Launching Demon Bird
I woke up thinking one thing that morning, "Finally, last day of school." I hit the "snooze" button on my clock and ran to my closet. When I opened the door I was hit by an avalanche of dirty cloths, which have probably been there since the beginning of the school year. I put on whatever didn't smell like a skunk, I ran to my nightstand and picked up Riptide, stuck it in my pocket and I was ready for school.
I ran to the kitchen were my mom was preparing my breakfast. MMM! Eggs, bacon and toast. I sat down and asked my mom, "What's the occasion?"
My mom looks at me with a warm but slightly sad smile and said, "Me and Paul just want to wish you best of luck at camp."
At the beginning of the school year Paul Blowfis had married my mom, when I first told him that I was as a half blood he thought I was joking, but when he saw how serious I was he accepted it with a little doubt but he finally got used to the idea of all powerful beings that are controlling the universe as we know it. Go figure.
I looked up and smiled back and said, "Thanks mom."
"Have you packed all of your cloths?"
"Yup."
"Don't forget Riptide."
"I can't. Remember?"
"Oh Ya. And what about your shield that Tyson made you?"
" I didn't. Relax I remembered to pack every thing."
" Sorry I'm just a bit worried."
I ran back to my room and picked up my backpack and ran to the bus, and prayed to the gods that I wouldn't destroy another school.
It was last period when it happened. I was sitting in front of the school bully in science, His name was Todd Marcus and for some strange reason he was fascinated with launching spit balls at my head.
I had too keep myself from pulverizing him for 2 more minutes and then I was home free.
Then he landed one right under my neck and this one hurt. I mean it really hurt as if some one has stabbed me with a pointed spear.
I turned around, and were Todd was supposed to be there was a bird, a big big bird with bronze feathers that look like daggers.
I jumped out of my seat and was about to pull out riptide when it raised it's wings and let loose a volley of razor sharp arrows at my head. I ducked and rolled out of the way then I uncapped Riptide and slashed at the bird's head, the bird exploded in a cloud of golden dust.
I was breathing hard when I finally realized that the whole class was looking at me. The only thing that came out of my mouth was, "Ya…um… nice weather were having."
That's when all Hades broke loose. Kids were running around screaming, the teacher had pulled the fire alarm and was now calling the cops, everyone was being evacuated. And you want to know what I did… I jumped out of the window.
