WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?
-and Miranda woke up panting like she had ran for a long time. She was sweating. It was dark and she was still in her clothes.
When she was about to get up, she saw something in the dark, moving then disappearing. There was an animal like howl from her backyard. Miranda got up and went to the kitchen.
There was no one there but she could have sworn that there had been something. Just after that, her front door pounced. Miranda jumped out of her skin. No one knew where she was living... not even her friends knew.
Miranda ran to her room and opened her wardrobe. In there was a long sharp sword along with other sword that she had trained with, over the years to make sure she would have some kind of defences to defend herself when she was in trouble or attacked.
She had taken martial arts like Tae Kwon Do and some gym as well. She took out her swords and knives, putting and hiding some on her belt and pockets.
She had to be calm. She had planed all this, just in case something would happen.
She also hung her bow and arrows around her shoulders. She was all ready when she heard her front door smash open. No humans could break a door like that. She looked out the window and saw a very large dog with a group of huge men.
No, they weren't men, there had only one eye. She quickly began to pack some clothes, weapons, food and money. She wore a black cape with a hoddie and grabbed her luggage and went to the basement.
She went through a secret passage that leads to the Manhattan's Park. She ran all the way along the tunnel until she reached the door. The door had lead to a public bathroom near the park.
She went out of the bathroom, looking for any danger then hiding her weapon under her cape and putting on her hoddie and then started to walk to the dark park.
She had just began to sort out her weapons when she a noise behind her. She looked at her surroundings.
Good. There was no one here. She stood up and took out her bow and arrows. She loaded one and turned around aiming to the noise.
But it wasn't a monster; instead it was Percy with a glowing sword looking right at her. Well, nearly looking right at her since she was wearing hoddie and her hair was tied back, he couldn't see her face.
Miranda: You're Percy aren't you?
Percy tensed gripping his sword tighter. "Who are you and how do you know my name?"
Miranda hesitated a little. It would sound a little crazy if you told a random person that you have seen them in your dreams, right? But hesitating made everything go wrong.
Percy stabbed at her but Miranda moved backwards and back-flipped easily and shot the arrow at Percy. Even if she was a great archer, Percy was a great fighter too. He dodged the attack easily and came at her. She cursed and took out her long sword. When the two swords met, it clanged. Percy knocked out the sword out of her hand by twisting the sword towards a tree.
She took out her small knives and threw them to Percy. He dodged most of them but he got cut on his cheek and forearm. He glared and charged at her. Miranda ran as fast as she could, but got tripped by a black tip that just appeared on top of the ground.
She rolled but Percy brought down his sword giving her a good long, deep sized cut on her leg. She yelled in pain but took out her bow and shot at him. The arrow missed him just by a centimetre and Percy narrowed his eyes.
"You should have disappeared when I cut you. Maybe you are not a monster but since you know my name, I must guess that you are one of Luke's followers." Miranda saw the chance and leaped at him but stopped when she heard another boy's voice.
"Stop, Percy!" the boy shouted. Percy tried to attack but she kicked him in the stomach hard and he fell on the ground groaning.
Well, he was done for, she thought.
She was about to run somewhere else when a black cold iron sword met her throat that made her stop.
She slowly took out her other sword while the boy said "You seem to carry a lot of weapons, don't you?" she faced him gasped.
"Nico?" he was the cute boy she had seen him in her dreams. Nico's eyes widened. He attacked, but Miranda easily dodged. At least he was slower than Percy; who was so fast.
She made for her attack but something sliced her back which made her scream in pain. It was Percy.
He was about to finish her when Nico said to him to stop.
"Wait a second Percy, she knows our names and Luke's followers don't know me at all. And besides she is a girl. The only girls that work for Luke are Kelli and Kempe." Miranda groaned in pain on the ground.
"A girl? She is a girl and she can fight like that? Whoa, who ever she is, we have to take her to camp half-blood. She has to be a half-blood. Nico, can you summon Mrs. O'Leary please? I think I may have cut her deep." replied Percy sounding worried.
Nico knelt besides her speaking to her. "We don't know if you are a half-blood even if we think you are, so you are coming with us." He whispered gently.
Miranda lost conscious when Percy was taking her towards a humongous black dog that barked loudly and happily.
