Chapter 2
YAYYYYY! I LOVE Y'ALL SOOO MUCH! NOT ONLY DID I GET ONE REVIEW, I GOT 4! I know, you think I'm crazy. Like, hate to burst your bubble, but four reviews aren't very much…Well, it's MY first story, and that was my FIRST chapter, and I'm proud of myself. Also, somebody had asked to be my beta, and that sounds good, cuz I'm on an old laptop and the whole grammar thing hasn't been updated in a while. but… I have no idea how to do that. PM me about it, pretty please. You know who you are. I need someone to help me. Oh and last thing, I PROMISE. Like I said before, I'm on an old laptop, and the spacebar is sorta kinda dying….so you might see a words or a phrase bunchedtogetherlikethis.. sorry bout that. I try to edit it… but it isn't working so well.
. right so where'di leave off at? oh right, crazy mrs. roth, pshyco tech, and why are my parents so important?
CHAPTER DOS(2) (for you not spanish speaking people out there)
thisis from chapter unooo... just a refresher-
oh, and i'm switching to 1rst person.. i like it better...
"Sweetie, are you the Aecia Jackson? Daughter of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase?"
Aecia stared at the woman with a dumbfounded expression on her face. What was she talking about?
She replied with something real smart. "Well, uh, yah… um, I think so?"
"Good enough," Mrs. Roth snarled. And that was when it allwent wrong. Her body transformed. Her body twisted and grew into a body of a lion. her fingers spread into claws, and her eyes changed from gold to a dark black color.
I stared at her. this was crazy! She was a m-m-
"Monster? yes sweetie, and it's time we come out from hiding. We've been watching you, Aecia Jackson,"she said,her words dripped with humor, as if she had been rehearsing them for days. And by the way she said we've been watchng you, i guess she had. And, anyway, that was just creepy. Why had they been watching her? And why did this thing care about her parents so much?
I decided to go with the smart choice. i screamed and ran.
I bolted out of the storage room. I ran down the hallway, toward the front office. but wait, where would i go? I guess i could go home, but how would I get out of school? I couldn't just run out, or... could I?
I went for it. I sprinted out of the school. No one even tried to stop me. I began to think about what to do. I started to go throught each of my options. I thought about calling my mom. She always seems to know what to do. But i don't have a cell phone; my parents had always said they were too dangerous for some reason. I rnever really understood that. I couldn't go back and use the school phone; they'd know that i was leaving and there was Mrs. Roth. Right know, running home looks like my best option. Well, i could hijack a car, but i honsetly don'twant to have a criminal record by 12, and i couldn't even drive it. And anyway, Mom would be so upset with me.
Luckily, I only lived about a minute from the school. .
As soon as i got home, i burst into my house, gasping. My mother was there, talking to a man in a wheelchair.
"Bu Chiron, she's soyoung! She's not even a true halfblood!" My mother yelped to the man.
Chiron, i guess was his name, responded, "you're right. She's not. she's more. Athena and posiden- that is a scary combination. She's even more powerful than the average half-blood. The aura i put on her as a baby won't help her much longer-"
Chiron just realized i was ther. My mom imediantly turned around and studied me with those scary grey eyes. "Aecia! Why are you home! School isn't out until 4:00. Is something wrong?"
I gasped for breath. I began to explain to her what had happened- sureley she would think i had gone crazy. A 12 year old muttering on about monsters raises a few red flags.
"oh, i need to call percy. Chiron, should i bring her to camp?"My mom stated. Her eyes flickering from me to Chiron.
" Yes. i supose it is time. She's waited long enough for an answer. She needs to be properly trained, and she needs a real weapon Anyway, we need to get her to camp, and perfrebly fast. Once mnsters know she's out there, they'll come tofind her in swarms. I'll take her with me; You and percy should meet me at camp." Chiron rambled.
What was going on? What was camp? Monsters? this was a lot to take in. I've always known i was a half-blood. My parents told me this. But i didn't understand the monstersting. did this mean all those greek myths were real? Like, ALL of them, and not just few?(A/N: Aecia only thinks the gods and dietys are real. she doesn't know about monsters or the labyrith or the underworld olumpys (did i spell that right?) and al of her parents adventuures, or that half-bloods were sought out by monstersbecuase she was never told and never asked)"wait,so you're telling me ALL of the greek myths are real- every single one. Like, in school today,that was real and not a hullucination? that was REALLY a spinx?" My head began to throb. This was all to much.
"Yes, dear. Look, Ace, Chiron will explain it all to you on the way to camp. Don'tworry, honey it'll be alright," Annabeth said inher strong motherly tone that was really saying, listen to me, and relax.
"So, I'll just go off with a stranger,to a camp i've never heard of."i repeated, monotone.
" Look, it doen't make any sense now. but it will. i promise. I'll meet you there. And thisis no "stranger". i've know him since i was 7. Aecia, just relax. i know it's hard now , but i promise it'll make sense later," my mom tried to reassure me.
"Alright, so i'll just... go then?"i questioned.
My mom laughed at me. "Alright, Chiron she's ready. We'll drive up there as soon as I get percy."
Chiron cleared his throut."Alright, child, let'go,". As he said that, Chiron she the blanket off his legs. looking down at him, i saw they were fake. so, a crippled stranger (/family friend?planned to take me somewhere?and my mom, the wisest person i know, thinks this is safe?!
Chirons wheel chair continued to change. his body turned fuzzy white, and the fake legs just clattered to the floor. Now,standing in frot of me was a horse. or at least half a upper body was human, but...very below that was a horse.
"Aecia, come here," He said.
i Stared , what just happened? it isn''t everyday that someonne turns into a horseon your living room rug.
" Hey, Ace, climb on his back. He'll take you srtait to camp. He'll explain on the way," my mom used that tone again. i inwardly groaned, but slid into the horses-oh excuse me, Chiron's back.
See you soon, Ace. Be careful." My Mom smiled, and led Chiron toward our big backyard. My heart continued tothrob, and my hands were sweaty. And then, I felt like time was swirling around me. colors blured past my vision. It looked like we were traveling a mile a second, but it only felt like i wason s normal horse. And then Chiron began to explaineverything to me. all of it. Hesaid that monsters, gods and demigods were real, and all of those myths actually happened. And that there was a camp to train demigods, which was where we were going, to preoare hemfor the real world. i sucked in a breath. Whoknew? This just sounded crazy to me. ut i knew as he told me it was true. I mean, why else would i be on a half-horse flying at the speed of light?
" In a few minutes, Aecia, We'll be at camp," said Chiron.
"Alright," i nodded weakly.
YAY! another chappie all finished :)! alright, nowi'm onto abig promblem here. I can'tdecide what Aecia's weaponshould be. Here are some options:
A) a knife like annabeth's
Ab)A knife like annabeth;s that can be disguised as something (ex. percy's sword, prn, thalia;s speir, mace container) and if so, what sord of thing?
B) Just a regular knife from the weapons sheild. if so shouldit be like an airtifact weapon? (ex. pipr'sknife, katankdnvjfn. (i can'tspell that))
C) Just a regular sword. fom the toolsheild. no value.
D)Personalizedsword/ knife from the hephestus cabin
E) Sword like percy's( some kind of sword that shrinks into a pen or something like that)
F) Other suggestion. all are welcome.
Oh,and it needsa name. i suck at all this pronouncing and spelling acient greek stuff. i need help.
alright, thanks! love y'all with all a my heart,
sunny day :)
