Chapter 2- Field Trip of Doom

"Cool!" Said Liam as we walked into the museum, and he stared wide-eyed at a large Hydra statue.

I pulled out my cell and snapped a picture of it while the teacher wasn't looking.

"No cell phones, please." Said Mr. Brunner, he must've heard the shutter when I took the picture.

I quickly put it away, a little bit embarrassed.

I heard the bully who was throwing her sandwiches on the bus snicker something about the naked guy on the stele.

"Will you shut up?" I heard one of the boys say angerly.

Mr. Brunner, not happy about being interrupted replied, "Mr. Jackson, do you have a comment?"

"No, sir." the boy replied, red faced.

Mr. Brunner pointed to a picture and asked the boy what it represented.

"That's Kronos eating his kids, right?" The boy asked, hoping he got it right.

"Yes," Mr. Brunner said, wanting a longer answer. "And he did this because..."

"Well... Kronos was the king god, and-" the boy started, but Mr. Brunner cut him off

"God?" Mr. Brunner asked.

"Titan," he corrected himself. "And... he didn't trust his kids, who were the gods. So, um, Kronos ate them, right? But his wife hid baby Zeus, and gave Kronos a rock to eat instead. And later, when Zeus grew up, he tricked his dad, Kronos into barfing up his brothers and sisters-"

"Eeew!" One of the girls behind him said.

"She's such a baby," I whispered to my brother.

"-and so there was this big fight between the gods and the Titans," he contined, "and the gods won."

-minutes later, outside-

I saw the bully dump the rest of her lunch into the skinny boy's lap.

I was about to confront her about it when the water seemed to reach out and grab her, "Oh my lord." I whispered to my brother, shocked.

"Percy pushed me!" She yelled. So that was his name.

Mrs. Dodds seemed to materialize next to Percy.

A bunch of the kids were whispering about the water incident, but I was wondering how much trouble Percy was going to be in.

"Think he'll get detention?" I whispered to my brother.

"I don't know, but I need to use the little boy's room!" he replied.

"Then raise your hand and ask the teacher." I whispered.

"Mr. Brunner?" Liam asked while raising his hand, "Can I use the bathroom?"

"I need to go too." I added, raising my hand.

"Go ahead." Said Mr. Brunner.

We followed Percy and Mrs. Dodds into the museum.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Mrs. Dodds.

"We, um, needed to go to the restroom." I replied. The look in Mrs. Dodds' eyes was making me nervous.

"She's scaring me." Liam whispered.

"Me too, let's go." I whispered back.

We rushed to the bathroom doors. Being dyslexic, we wouldn't of been able to tell boys from girls if they didn't have the little pictures on them. The signs looked like SOYB and SILGR to us.

-after using restroom-

I walked out just in time to see Mrs. Dodds tranform into a bat lady type monster. Not thinking, I ran into the boys room to grab my little brother.

"HEY! What are you doing in here?!?!" My brother asked, shocked.

All I managed to get out was "Mrs. Dodds... monster... bat... attacking Percy..." because I was so scared.

Liam P.O.V

"I do NOT know what that meant but it doesn't sound good!" I said to my sister, I ran out of the boy's bathroom and saw a weird bat-thing about to murder Percy.

END

Rain's P.O.V.

I looked around for anything I could throw at Mrs. Dodds while my brother stood there, scared out of his mind.

Trying to get his attention, I pointed out that he hadn't zipped up his pants.

"Whoops." He said, and he zipped up his pants and started panicking like a chicken with his head cut off.

"Help me find something to use as a weapon!" I whispered.

He pulled a convenientally placed pipe off of the ground and handed it to me.

I ran up behind Mrs. Dodds. "Hey, UGLY!" I shouted, hitting her with the pipe.

She screeched and I realized I had just made her angrier.

"What ho Percy!" Shouted Mr. Brunner, throwing a ball point pen to him.

"How's a ball point pen going to help us?!" I whispered to my brother.

He just shrugged and then we watched as it turned into a sword in Percy's hand.

Ok, I have to admit, I was a little jealous because Percy got to destroy the monster, not us, but grateful that it was gone.

"Please tell me you saw that too!" Said Percy to us, we nodded.

"That was FREAKY!" I said, and the two boys next to me nodded their heads in agreement.

We went outside and nobody seemed alarmed.

"I hope Ms. Kerr whipped your butt!" The girl yelled, still soaked with water.

"Who's Ms. Kerr?" All three of us asked together.

"Our teacher, stupid heads!" Said the girl.

"Maybe we imagined it?" Percy suggested.

"How could all three of us imagine the exact same thing?" I wondered aloud.

"I have no clue..." Said Liam.

"Hey, is that a new shirt?" I asked Liam, temporarily distracted.

"I'm sorry, why did you ask that after what just happened?" he replied.

"You know I get distracted easily!" I said.

"I need to return the ball point "pen" to Mr. Brunner." Percy said, putting air quotations around "pen", and he walked up to Mr. Brunner and handed him his pen.

"Thank you for my pen back, Percy" Said Mr. Brunner, not seeming alarmed either.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Liam whispered.

"He's hiding something from us, I just know it." I said, suspicous.
