A/N: heya! Just in case there is confusion with the age of the characters, Alex is 14, Max is also 14, Percy and Annabeth are both 15 and Grover is 14. I know in the lightning thief they are all around 12, but I'm changing their age in this fic! Hope no1 minds! I'm still trying to figure out how to make a stupid line so it separates different parts of the story… thank you for reviewing!
Anyways heres chapter 2, hope you like it, and don't forget to review, but please don't flame.
I do not own Percy Jackson! Sadly. If I did Percy and Annabeth would be together as soon as they met. Well maybe not straight away but you know what I mean ;)
Anyway on with the story!
Chapter 2
The last class felt like it was going on for a whole day. I sat there doodling in my copy while the teacher was explaining something about Greek mythology and a way between Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, the 3 main gods or whatever. I knew a lot about Greek mythology already because my mum would always read it to me when I was4 or 5 years old, and I would always ask her to read it to me before I went to sleep. I figured I didn't need to learn it again in class, so I just tuned off, drawing small pictures of flowers.
I was always quite artistic, infact I loved art! It was my favourite subject apart from music. So when I finished doodling the flowers I was quite pleased with my work. It decorated my copy in a nice way.
The bell rang and the class quickly sprung out the door leaving only me and Max behind.
"Max hurry up! It's the end of school and I want to get out of here! This place creeps me out!" I wasn't even joking.
Max laughed slightly and said "sorry I'm going as fast as I can!"
Helping him stuff his books in his bag I handed him his crutches, he took his bag and we left the class.
We made our way down the strangely empty hallway and to Max's locker.
"That's weird where is everyone?" I asked. I could see Max tensed up a little.
"Must have gone home quickly..." he shrugged it off nervously. After he finished with his locker we made our way to mine.
"Uh -oh!" Max exclaimed.
"what?" I asked curiously.
"I need to pee!" he answered slightly blushing. He walked over to the boys bathroom which was just across from my locker. "Wait here for me. Do not go anywhere! Just stay here!" he ordered.
"Okay okay! Bossy." I said a little puzzled. What the hell was that? Its like I'm a 5 year old with my mother who is telling me not to talk to wander off while she is buying us some ice-cream. I turned to my locker with a still puzzled expression. I then opened it catching the books that were falling out of it. 'I really need to tidy that' I thought.
I quickly opened my journal to see what subjects to take home. I saw the note Miss O'Hare wrote: never has her homework done! Please discipline your daughter.
Rolling my eyes I took out the books I need and quickly shoved them in my bag. Then I saw Miss O'Hare walking down the empty hallway, I closed my locker and glared at her.
"We need to talk." She said in her usual cold voice.
"Umm okay. If this is about the homework I promise ill do it for tomorrow if you want me too. I mean I'm sorry I have so much on my plate lately! Its not that I don't care about doing my homework or anything, I really do, its just it's so hard when you cant concentrate for more than a minute and… well..." I shrugged looking at my feet "when you basically have ADHD. I'm really sorry again." But when I looked back up again she wasn't there.
I looked around but she was nowhere. "so much for my apologies." I mumbled. 'Bitch' I thought to myself.
Then suddenly I heard a hoarse roar. I turned around to the source of the noise and saw a monster with a human body and a bulls head. I stood there for a minute staring at it in shock, and then started screaming my head of! 'What the heck is that! ?' I thought to myself. Then I tried to remember the Greek mythology my mum would read to me… half human half bull… of course! It was a Minotaur l! Once again I screamed and started to run for my life leaving my school bag on the ground, but before I could make it to the front door of the school the Minotaur jumped in front of me letting out another hoarse roar. I started running back the other way in effort to get away from the monster, but before I could make it he… or it, grabbed my foot and I felt on the ground, I let out a painful cry and closed my eyes knowing I was not gonna live through this, when suddenly something amazing happened! The front doors of the school swung open and a huge gust of wind came and lifted the Minotaur an inch of the ground. Quickly standing up I ran, or if you like stumbled to my bag. The Minotaur started to struggle against the wind but it was no use.
The door to the boys bathroom swung open and Max ran out as fast as you can run when you have crutches. "What happened? You were screaming!" he yelled.
Shaking my finger in fear I pointed at the Minotaur. Max looked over at it a little puzzled as to why it was struggling in the air.
"What… why…" he stuttered.
"Oh. A huge gust of wind came and, well this happened." I said as calmly I could. The Minotaur was now hurled on the ground knocking him unconscious. Max ran up to it taking something out of his pocket the looked like a pen. He clicked and it turned into a sword. He then jabbed it into the Minotaur's chest. Instead of what I thought was gonna happen is the monster would bleed to death, it instead turned into golden sand. Max proud of his work swung the sword and put it on his shoulder.
"What…how.. what was…" and without saying another word I fainted.
