I run into a monster

I'm a twelve year old boy with shoulder length black hair and eyes that look like the ocean. I been sitting in the bus with my friends who are also outsiders for what seems like a eternity. "Will do you have any idea about why this bus ride is taking so long" my friend called Percy Jackson asked. Percy Jackson has short black hair and the same color of eyes as I do.

"No I don't Percy but its been a eternity and a half" I said. "Yeah I know how about you Grover" Percy asked. Grover Underwood must have been held back for a few years since he has a few whiskers on his chin and pimples. "I don't know but I have a feeling that its going to be a few more eternities before we get to the stop" Grover said.

We laugh and start doing magic tricks with a deck of cards. I toss up six cards and they head into one sleeve of my jacket. I take the cards out and show them that they landed in order from lowest to highest. The bus stops and black smoke goes up from the front of the bus. "Just perfect something to stall us from getting to the station" I said as we exit the bus.

The three of us stand off from the rest. I see a fruit stand on the other side of the highway. I see three old ladies sitting in rocking chairs and the two on the outside are knitting giant socks. I see the middle lady pull out a giant pair of scissors and lower them to snip the strand of yarn. I watch as the scissors snip the yarn. I shake my head as I heard the snip from all the way from here.

I get onto the bus with Percy and Grover. We head to the back of the bus where we were sitting before. I look over to Grover who's pale and I can't blame him that scene was scary. The driver pulls out a piece of metal and the engine starts back up. The driver hits the bus with his hat and the passengers get back on. The driver gets behind the wheel and heads for the station.

The bus pulls into the station and I get off holding my backpack. I head on out of the station and sigh. "Something wrong Will you seem to be sad" Percy asked walking up beside me. "I just remembered now that my mother died due to a car crash three months ago" I said. "Come on i'll bring you to meet my mother" Percy said. "Yeah I don't want to meet you step-father since I would probably go to jail due to murder" I said.

"I don't blame you Will he's a grade A asshole" Percy said as a taxi pulled in to get us. We get in and Percy tells him the destination. "I want to meet your mother since she seems very nice" I said. "Thanks Will and by the way your like a brother to me" Percy said. "Thanks Percy and your the same way to me" I said. We laugh and the taxi pulls into the destination.

We each pay half the cost and get out of the taxi. I watch as Percy walks inside the building and up the stairs. I enter the building and set my backpack down on the stairs. I stare up at the apartment Percy went into and I feel sorry for him. I hate Smelly Gabe just by the stories Percy has told me. I hear the door behind me open and close.

The person who entered stops and I hear bags being set down. "Percy why didn't you tell me you were back" the person said walking toward me. I turn around and say "Sorry but Percy is up in your apartment Ms. Jackson i'm Will Smith nice to meet you" I said. She stops and looks into my eyes. I look back and she pulls away from looking into my eyes.

"You look so much like my son i'm sorry" she said. "Its okay Ms. Jackson its a easy mistake" I asked. "I see I have to go meet up with my son" Sally said picking up the bags. I help her with the bags by carrying half of them. We head inside her apartment and I pass right on by Smelly Gabe. I place the bags down on the counter. I take the bags from Ms. Jackson and set them down on the counter. I exit the apartment before the part of me wanting to kill that asshole takes over.

I grab my backpack and exit the building. I turn my head to the black clouds. I don't like those clouds that are closing in. I head toward my house during the breaks of the year. Yes it is in my name and that goes for everything inside it. I reach my house that is near the empire state building. I unlock the house and enter it. I see that there's no dust.

I place the key away and I walk toward the basement where my equipment is. What kind of equipment are you wondering well let's just say the equipment is not something a twelve year old would be seen with. I reach the basement and see the entire layout filled with equipment. I walk over to the table in the middle and grab my wristwatch. I put it on and push a button making it turn into a shield.

I press the button again and it turns back into a watch. I pull on my right glove and bracer which protects the lower part of my sword arm. I pull on the rest of my protective gear for my right arm. I toss my cloak and grab my magic items that I have found during my time running away from monsters. I place them in a satchel and I grab the magic coin that is my weapon.

I place it in my pocket and head upstairs to the living room. I walk over to the area where we keep the money and open it up. I grab five hundred dollars in mortal money and thirty golden drachmas from the money case. I hold the money in my hand until I look at the case that holds all our money. I put the money back in the case and pick the case up with my left hand since its a briefcase.

I exit my house and lock it up. I walk toward the place that I read from Grover's business card. I knew about such a place here in New York City but I didn't know the location. I head up the road toward the camp that I have been searching for. I round a corner and continue walking up the road to the camp. I round another corner and another.

I walk onward and I hear a screech. I run forward and see a car explode. I run right on past the towering figure and help out the Jacksons. I help get Grover out of the car and they take him as we run away. We reach the summit of the hill and we fall over from exhaustion. I turn around to see a giant bullman walking toward us. "On the count of three roll out of the way" Sally said.

"What do you mean" Percy asked. I pull out my coin and say "I can possibly hold him off for a few minutes if i'm lucky". I get up and Sally asks "What are you going to do with a coin". I toss it into the air and my sword appears as I catch the coin. I charge at the bullman and he looks at me. I slash him with my sword and I hear him howl in pain.

I dodge as he tries to swipe me with his hand. I watch as the Jacksons try to pick Grover up. "Fooooooooood" Grover moaned loudly. Bullman or you know what Beefcake is his name now turns toward the others. He charges toward them and I toss my sword into his side making it fall down. I watch as he gets up and charges at me.

I step backwards and I jump sideways. I get hit hard by the shockwave of the speed he was going. I go flying and land against the tree. I look around and my vision fades in and out. I stand up and dodge as Percy does. Beefcake goes into a panic as Percy lands on his head and tears a horn off. Percy gets thrown off and I catch him even though i'm hurt badly.

I land on my back and Percy gets up. He runs off and Beefcake charges him. Percy rolls sideways and stabs the horn in between Beefcake's rib cage. He dies in a shower of golden dust. I get up and retrieve my sword as it turns into a coin. I put it away and I help Percy with Grover as well as grabbing the briefcase. We head toward the farmhouse and Percy falls over halfway there.

I pick both of them up and walk toward the farmhouse with my injuries starting to hurt me. I feel my leg muscles start to burn along with my chest which has blood coming from cuts. I reach the farmhouse and I walk up the steps. I knock on the door and I wait as my vision starts failing again. I plant my feet into the patio so I don't fall down.

The door opens and I see a familiar bearded face along with a blond haired girl. "Come on in we need to treat you all" the familiar man said. I stumble into the house and I drop my friends on the floor softly and place the briefcase down before holding my sides. I hear about four sets of footsteps and I see my friends getting picked up. Someone helps me to my feet and lends me their shoulder. I finally fall unconscious due to blood loss.
