Chapter 2
Michael
I woke up to screaming. Wait what? He pushed himself out of bed, and there was Thess, screaming his head off. Percy must have noticed too, because he shook Thess awake. "What was that?" he asked.
"Nightmare" he mumbled.
He was about to ask what it was about, but saw Percy shaking his head. He pushed those thoughts away. "Anyway" Percy said, "it's time for breakfast". They arrived dressed and showered in the cafeteria 15 minutes later. He noticed kids staring at them. Percy muttered something like "telekhine".
"What's a telekhine?" he asked suspiciously.
"It's a...um, insect! I got bit by an insect!" he said nervously.
He shrugged it off and went back to his breakfast. The rest of the morning went by fast. He spent his morning droning out teachers or "learning helpers", and dodging rubber bands. Right before lunch, he heard a kid growling at him.
"Hey dude you ok?" he asked.
The kid bit him. Startled, he jumped away. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a glint of, was that gold? He saw Percy, holding a...sword? He looked at Thess, who seemed equally startled. "RUN!" Percy yelled! He didn't have to remind me, i was already running. But where to? There was only one exit. That was a problem. He didn't have time to worry, because suddenly, he felt searing pain in his left arm. He blacked out.
Michael woke up three times before awakening for good. He groaned, his arm felt like lead. He stood, and saw Percy and Thess passed out. They were in a hotel room. Percy woke up almost instantly, and a sword just appeared in his hand. "Whoa!" he yelled, "do you have to kill me?"
Percy looked at the sword, "oh".
He quickly put it away. Michael had a million questions going through his head. Who was Percy? Where did he come from? Where were they?
He only managed to say, "Uh..."
Percy laughed, "Well get ready to leave". Leave? Where were they to begin with? Percy seemed to read his mind. Lincoln, Nebraska. Now let's GO!
