The New Kids In School
Hey readers, school year is on and I'm trying to fit my fanfiction writing, homework, and friends into my schedule. Anyways I don't own anything but Percy's sister, and the plot. Enjoy the chapter! And for those who guessed Sarah you get a cookie.
Percy's POV Dreamscape
I was laying down a beach next to a girl who had caramel skin and long black hair. We were staring at the stars while fireworks illuminated the moonless night.
"Hey Percy?" The girl asked me.
"Yes?" I replied.
"I love you." She said before capturing my lips in a passionate kiss.
"I love you too." I replied after we broke the kiss for air. We both sat up and she laid her head on my shoulder. I smiled and put my head on top of hers.
"Hey that one looks like a lion." She said pointing at a lion shaped firework.
"It sure does." I agreed before kissing her forehead. She giggled and just looked me in the eyes with those heart melting brown eyes.
"I wish this night never ends." She said before sighing.
"I hope it doesn't either." I agreed before capturing her lips one more time.
Percy's POV
I woke up to the sight of a white ceiling. I got up and noticed that Thalia and Nico were no where to be found. I just stretched before heading up stairs to my sister's room. I opened the door slightly and noticed she was watching TV. "Hey there." I said entering the room and closing the door.
"Hey." She replied looking at me.
"What's your name? I never got to ask you last night." I asked her.
"Miranda." She replied.
"Last name?" I asked her again.
"Lawson." She said before returning her focus to the TV. (You get a virtual cookie if you get the reference.)
"Ah. Hey, have you seen Thalia or Nico?" I asked her after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah, they said that their enrolling you in the high school nearby. Thalia said something about the principle being a distant cousin or something." She said.
"Ok. Hey, when they get back want to play in the backyard?" I asked her.
"Yeah!" She replied excitement in her voice.
"All right. I saw some cereal on the counter. You should go eat before you continue watching TV." I told her.
"Do I have to?" She said, giving me those same puppy dog eyes from last night.
"Yes. You do." I said managing to look off to the side.
"Fine." She grumbled and got off the bed. I followed her downstairs and into the kitchen. I pulled out two bowls and brought out the milk. I made us two bowls of cereal. We ate it while joking around.
*Five minutes later*
Percy's POV
I was waiting for Miranda to finish her cereal so I can wash the dishes. I took the bowl as Miranda ran out of the kitchen and up to the stairs to her room. I just smiled as she disappeared up the stairs. I hope I can watch her through the rest of her life. Unless my past returns to haunt me in any way. I thought. I had just finished thinking this when the I heard the front door open.
"We're home!" I heard Thalia yell.
"In the kitchen!" I replied scrubbing the bowl. I heard their feet moving towards me and stop near the door.
"Well, well, well. The defeater of many things is washing dishes." Nico said snickering. I also heard Thalia snickering.
"At least, I fed my little sister. Why didn't you guys feed her when she woke up?" I asked them.
"Uh...We were busy getting us into a school." Thalia replied.
"Uh huh. You couldn't delay that for about fifteen minutes?" I said putting the bowl into the cupboard and turning towards them.
"Okay fine. We'll feed her when we leave early next time. Anyways, we're going to WhiteChapel High now. So, I hope you're ready for our freshmen year." Nico said pulling off a backpack and putting it on the floor.
"Great...been here for a day and i'm already going to school. How can my life get anymore exciting?" I said under my breath.
"Oh it'll get more exciting. This town has a dark history behind it. It is said that vampires once settled here and they still live here to this day." Nico said.
"Great! School and possible vampires to deal with. Just great!" I said.
"Remember. It's just a myth. They probably don't exist." Nico said.
"Yeah. Like how I thought the Gods were myths." I replied.
"All right. Vampires may or may not exist. So what? We can hold them off if they do." Thalia said instead of Nico. "Now, we've been excused for today but we need to be there at 8 tomorrow."
"Ugh. I hate school." I said.
"Stop whining and start packing." Thalia said and shoved a backpack into my chest.
"Fine, Mom." I said under my breath, walking up the stairs.
"I heard that!" Thalia yelled behind me.
"Whatever!" I yelled in reply before heading up to my room to pack some stuff.
*The Next Day*
I groaned as my alarm clock went off at 6 in the morning. I got out of bed and headed into the bathroom while I thought of who that girl, Sarah, was in my dream.
She's probably a demigod but a stayr should be nearby if there was one. I thought brushing my teeth. I quickly took a shower and got dressed. I looked at the clock again. 7:30 it read. Wow, I do need to cut down on my shower time. I thought grabbing my backpack and going downstairs to the kitchen. Everyone was in there eating breakfest.
"Morning." I greeted them.
"Morning to you as well" Thalia said.
I walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a plate. I also grabbed a spoon and fork before sitting down next to Miranda. I ruffled her hair and loaded my plate with rice, eggs, and bacon. I dug in as the others finished. As soon as I finished I put the plate into the sink before going to the front door.
"All right, Miranda. You know the rules, right?" Thalia said as I went within earshot of the door.
"Yes." Miranda replied.
"All right. Stay safe. We'll only be gone a few hours." Nico said.
"All right, Uncle Nico." She replied.
"Let's go guys. We'll be late if we don't get going." I said ruffling Miranda's hair again. She giggled before running upstairs. I turned to the door and opened it for the others before walking out myself. I stared at the driveway in shock.
"Um...Nico did you buy a new car?" I asked staring at the brand new Ferrari that replaced our beat up Ford.
"What the...I don't even remember having the money to buy that." Nico replied.
"Let's just get going. We've got about ten minutes." Thalia said looking at her watch.
"Shotgun!" I yelled running to the passenger side and opening it. The other two just chuckled and entered the car slowly.
*5 minutes later*
"We're here." Nico said parking near the school.
"What classes do we have?" I asked them.
"We've got history for our first class. Room 105." Thalia said. I got out of the car and headed straight for the front door. I pushed it open and looked around. I noticed a sign at the end that said Rooms 100-110 with an arrow pointing to the right. I walked to the right when I reached the corner and saw the number at the end of hall. I walked up to it casually and opened the door. I was greeted by a woman with brunette hair and hazel eyes.
"Ah you must be the new seniors." She said.
"Yeah. That's us." Thalia said behind me. Thalia introduced us and the teacher pointed to our seats. I sat down not noticing the girl in the back that was staring at me.
Sarah's POV
It's him. It's the guy from last night. I didn't know he came here! I turned to Erica who was just looking at her nails.
"Erica." I whispered getting her attention.
"What?" She asked in reply.
"Do you remember the kids from last night?" I asked her.
"Yeah. What about them?" She replied.
"Look in the front." I said. She looked up from her nails and towards the front of the class. Her eyes widened when she noticed them.
"What are they doing here?" She whispered back.
"I don't know!" I whispered back.
"How about we finish this class then we ask them. All right?"
"All right." I said sighing before returning my focus to the teacher up front.
*During Lunch*
"Erica. That wasn't straight after class!" I quietly yelled at her.
"Shh. I got Benny and Rory, so we can all go interrogate them together." She said. I just nodded as Benny and Rory walked towards us.
"Hey guys. What's the problem?" Benny asked.
"Erica, here said that we would ask those new kids some question about what happened last night." I answered his question.
"Really? Erica came up with a good idea?" Benny said sarcastically before turning to Erica, "Who are you and what have you done with Erica?" She just rolled her eyes and lightly punched Benny on the arm.
"Come on guys! They're right over there!" I lightly yelled at them pointing to the kids at the back of the cafeteria. They nodded and we all began to make our way back there.
Percy's POV
"Who are they?" I asked Thalia as I watched four other students walk towards us. Two were female and the other two were male.
"I don't know... Why don't you ask them since they look like they're sitting here," she replied as the four neared our table.
"Hello!" The girl in front said happily. I feel like I should know her but I can't put my finger on why. She had caramel skin and flowing black hair. Her brown eyes were meeting my gaze most of the time. They all took seats in front of us. The girl took a seat in front of me and it started bugging me where I saw her before.
"Hi," Thalia replied.
"May we ask who you are?" The girl asked.
Thalia was about to reply but I interrupted her, "I am Percy. The girl to my left is Thalia and the boy to my right is Nico." Thalia glared at me for interrupting her and I was about to glare back when I finally remembered where I had seen that girl.
"Hello, Percy. I'm Sarah. The girl beside me is Erica. The guy next to her is Benny and the blond one over there is Rory," She said gesturing to each of them when she called their names.
"Ni-" I said before a monstrous roar silenced the cafeteria.
"Damn it! We're like living monster bait," Nico said next to me. We watched as one wall burst open to reveal the Chimera behind it. I saw as a short woman stood next to it.
"Come on out, Percy Jackson! Sonny is very hungry and you are no longer under the protection of the Gods!" She said as the Chimera roared again.
"Percy, did you bring your pen," Nico asked and I saw the confused look on Sarah's face.
"Yeah, did you bring your necklace?" I asked and he nodded. The others were looking confused now. I turned to Thalia and asked, "Did you bring you mace canister?"
"I always carry it around," Thalia said bringing it out.
"Let's go deal with big kitty and his momma before they become a problem for everyone," I said as I took my pen out. I opened it up and watched as the blade grew in my hand. Nico did the same with his necklace and Thalia already had her spear our.
"What about Aegis? Did you forgot your scary shield at home?" Nico asked Thalia as she slapped her bracelet and Aegis formed in her hand.
"You say something Nico?" She replied.
"Nothing," He mumbled as we looked at the situation in front of us.
"Unless someone has a clump of lead, perfect aim, and can fly. We don't stand a chance," Thalia said as she recalled the story of how the Chimera was originally defeated. Nico and I just stared at her as Nico dug around in his pocket. He took out a piece of lead and handed it to her. She looked at him confused.
"What? It causes death and you know what my father's domains are. He always sends me a gift like that when he feels like it," Nico said shrugging before staring at the Thalia again.
"Percy, hand me your sword. My spear doesn't return to me after a while," She said as I handed her my sword. I was as she took out a piece of gun, chewed it, and placed it on the tip of the sword. She then attacked the clump of lead onto it. "We still need someone that can fly," She said before she met our gazes, "Why are you staring at me? Wait. No! I am not going to do that! You know how afraid of heights I am!"
"We know. Just wanted you to admit again," I said as I took my sword back from her. She glared at Nico as I jumped over the table and ran towards the Chimera.
"Ah, your food decides to come willingly. Go on, Sonny. Feed on the Hero of Olympus," Echidna said as the Chimera made its way to me very slowly. I grinned and felt a familiar pull in my gut as the water gushed around me. I felt my self rise into the air and far above the reach of the Chimera. I waited for it to roar before I launched my sword into its throat. It began to choke and I knew that the lead was beginning to melt from the Chimera's hot breath. I watched as it choked before it burst into bright golden dust.
"Why are these monsters becoming more and more stupider when we meet them?" I asked Echidna.
"You! You killed Sonny! I will have your head for this!" Echidna screamed as she rushed my water pillar. I decided to be fair and lowered myself to the ground. I waited until she came close enough before grabbing her and tossing her to the ground. I watched as Thalia and Nico rushed over to me and pointed their weapons at her.
"Any last words?" Thalia asked her.
"Your being hunted. The monsters that currently live in the regular mortal world know that the Hero of Olympus is no longer in the protection of the gods. They will be hunting you, Perseus. You as well Thalia and Nico. They are coming for you all. You best gather a fighting force," She said and I immediately thought of a deal.
"What if I let you live in exchange for something,"I asked her. Her eyes brightened and she nodded her head.
"You promise to live as our equal and not try to kill us. We do need someone to babysit my little sister. You are the perfect candidate since you can fight and act like a mother," I said. She again nodded her head. I also took some water and began channeling my powers into changing her into a fully nymph. I managed to do that before I began to see spots dance in my eyes. I told her the address to the house before I blacked out completely from the strain of using my powers.
I'm back from the dead, guys! Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. My sister was in the hospital and I barely left her side before today. She was recently discharged and I managed to get this chapter finished after thirty tries. I hope you guys can forgive me for this and I hope you like this new chapter. The other thing I would like to point out. Percy managed to turn Echidna into a regular nymph due to the fact that he longer as the Gods or (will be explained in a later chapter) the Fates to influence his journey. He can basically do whatever he wants but it taxes him way to much. Anyways, hope you enjoy and please don't review about the changing of Echidna's form. I wanted her to actually be a good person for once. Also, the more you ask to update faster. The slower I will be able to update. This story is on the top of my priority list right now. I'm gonna be updating it the most. Look on my profile for the full list of what my priority is. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
