Percabeth forever 98: Oh, my gosh! That is odd! I was reading that book 'mark' before I wrote this and the main characters name is Zoe. I went to look it up to see what it meant in the Greek language, when I discovered Zoe meant "life" I was like that is awesome! So I name my character that :) but your right I was reading some of your story and that is just the weirdest thing ever X) besides that I hope your enjoying the story so far! And that goes to every other reader out there to! :)
We managed to come right after the lunch rush so the line for food wasn't that large. I know that pleased Luna because I swear if she could have purchased the whole lunch room she would have. I had never seen someone so excited about school lunches' before. I waited next to the cashier for Luna to pay for her meal and I nearly laughed when not even half way from the cashier she had already had the apple in her mouth. I was walking toward a table when I girl and her back ups stopped me half way. I rolled my eyes in response to Luciana's action 'here we go again' I thought.
She sneered at me as her back ups crossed their arms in a warning stance as her obviously re-done nose was held up high. Luna just looked at me raising a brow, which caused me to put finger up as if to say 'just wait a second'. Luciana walked closer to me "what did I tell you Zoë about being here?" she asked seething in anger "not to" I answered looking a round to see all eyes on me. Luciana nodded "than why are you here?" she asked, which only caused me to scoff as she flipped her long black hair "last time I checked you didn't own this lunch room" I answered.
Luciana put her hands on her hips "maybe not but I own everything else here even the students isn't that right girls?" she said snapping her hands causing her back ups to all mummer and nod in agreement. She suddenly got closer to me "trust me you freak this isn't a game you want to play with me" she said with a "I'll murder you" look as she glared at me with her ice cold blue eyes. Luna stepped up going into Luciana's face "what did you just call her?" she growled.
Luciana smiled "Zoë you didn't tell me you were taking up recruits on how to be social outcasts all I have to say is congrats I think you might have managed to find someone even more socially awkward and weirder than you" she said clapping and glaring at her back ups causing them to clap as tried to punch her but I grabbed her fists "come on Luna will just eat lunch outside she's not worth it" I said shooting Luciana a dirty look trying to push Luna out of the lunch room.
Luna stomped and growled turning to me once she got out of the lunch room asking me "why doesn't anyone do anything about her" she demanded growling. I rolled here eyes "besides the fact that she's amazingly rich?" I asked taking a bite of my sandwich as we walked on the concrete sidewalks of the school.
She nodded "Luciana is the principal's daughter apparently she's been owning the social class of every class she's been in since kindergarten" I answered. Luna stomped her right foot "what do you mean apparently?" Luna asked, I shook my head "I just came here to this school about two months ago I'm surprised that I haven't been kicked out yet to tell you the truth" I answered looking at Luna. She raised her eyebrows at me "you don't look like a trouble maker to me" she said "I'm not, but weird things just happen to me is all" I answered looking around getting uncomfortable with the subject.
She nodded as if not one bit least surprise by this information as we walked along the side walks. I looked at the schedule that was in her heads "so, what other classes do you have next?" I asked raising an eyebrow. she than pulled her schedule up to read it and read "first period social studies, second period language arts, third period the class we just hade, lunch, math, and than science" she answered. I smiled "that awesome Luna! You have every single class with me!" I cried happily "yeah, sometimes the gods work in funny ways" she replied as she started to walk ahead of me. I raised an eyebrow confused "gods?", which caused her to shake her head in realization "never mind" she said.
I starred at her for a moment before she asked "well, are you coming or not?" she asked. I nodded and began to run/walk so I could catch up with her. I looked at Luna and realized that she only had her carrot sticks left from lunch "man Luna you were hungry?" I said amazed pointing to the carrots "what can I say I'm a growing girl" she answered smiling. I nodded as I bit into my sandwich again "so what do you think of the school so far?" I asked pointing to a bench asking if it was okay if we sat.
She nodded and sat down as she replied "people here are rude I can tell you that so far five people have tripped me today on my way to class. I even punched one of them landing a detention next Saturday" she answered as if it was no big deal. My eyes went wide "you punched a girl?" I asked "yeah, some Courtney chick" she answered looking around, than my eyes went wider "now I know why Luciana hates you! her and Courtney are like best friends" I said as she scoffed. Shaking her head she said "she deserved it she was four inches away from me there's no way it was an 'accident'" she mumbled. I nodded "yeah those two and a couple of other girls are like the b!tch crew here. Every schools has them and their it" I said disgusted by the very thoughts of those terrible girls.
Luna looked at me "so, why does Luciana hate you?" she asked starring me "on the first day of school I accidentally stepped on her new designers shoes when trying to find my footing after a student tripped me. She said I did it on purpose and I would regret the day I fought with her" I answered. Her mouth hung open "did you tell her you were tripped?" she asked as I nodded in response "several times but those girls just think everything revolves around them and if it doesn't it should so she was repulsed when she realized I wasn't jealous of her and she refused to believe it.
She's gone out of the way to make my life hell since the day we meet" I said while looking at Luna, who wore a 'they are so unbelievable' look the whole time. I nodded "but surprisingly I have been at worst schools not to mention I enjoy that classes here a lot better than the school I went to before" I answered taking the last bite of my sandwich and crumbling my trash together. I heard the bells loud ringing for third period, which caused me to looked up towards the sound of the bell unaware of the strong winds ferocity.
Luna got up just as the wind hit me causing my trash to be blown out of my hands all over the ground as students were seen in the halls running for their next class. Luna tried to help but I waved my hands "go on Luna its fine besides this is your first day it would leave kind of a bad impression if you were late on your first day. Also are class is located just two class down to your right from our grade level office" I said trying to push her towards the direction of the schools front door, I nodded as she looked at me with uncertainly as began to go in the direction of the school.
I soon turned my to the trash on the ground as I sighed picking it up. I new for sure I was going to be late and growled when the wind blew my trash toward the unoccupied bench. I ran over looking at the ground and picking it up. As I looked up though I fell down on my butt seeing that now on the unoccupied bench sat a young lady. I still sat on my butt as I looked at her confused and shocked "when did? You know what never mind" I mumbled getting up and picking up the trash, which sat next to the legs of the green bench. She than snatched the arm I was using to pick up the trash with a surprisingly strong force.
I returned this surprise gesture with a shrieking and shrill scream as I tried to unhook my hands from her grasps. Twisting and turning in ways I never thought before I screamed hoping anyone would hear my shrills only to have the women grab my arms and force me into a position that made me look at her. I looked into her lime green eyes when I realized that it looked closely similar to that of fish eyes, her skin was wet and cold as her black hair was hung over her face. I yelled surprised as she grabbed my arm tighter and began to sing a sweet tune. My world went black and uncared for as she began to sing.
I could rarely feel anything for a while and than with in moments I lost all sight, smell, and feeling. I was literally a walking doll. I lost all sense of time when she sang her alluring tune to me it was than that I realized. I was screwed. In a few seconds my feeling and senses returned but in the least expecting way. I saw the lady on the ground with Luna above her looking very pleased. looked between the two obviously confused I bite my lip.
I was about ready to run for it but Luna grabbed my arm restricting me when she began to run off the property of the school. Still holding my arm. She looked ready to drag me when I heard the hooves of horses tapping on the ground. I looked down as my knees buckled. I was starring at horses hooves! Except a horse weren't wearing it but Luna was! I tried to stop her tired of people yanking at my arm.
She refused to let go and barked at me "do you want to die" I didn't respond as she dragged me along. I had no idea where I was going but I fallowed her aimlessly when I realized the lady from the bench was fallowing us. Luna looked worried as she tried to make me walk faster in the bustling area of people. I looked at the million of people that looked at us weirdly as we passed the many buildings and markets.
Still shocked and starring at Luna's hooves she seethed "will you just fallow me Zoë I promise once were there I'll explain it" I looked up to see a sincere look on her face so I nodded in response as I allowed her to drag me further. bench lady still fallowed us in the back, which didn't make me feel any better as I looked at her face that had complete and utter anger engraved in it. Luna suddenly yanked my right arm roughly left causing my arms to make a 'pop!' noise as I grunted irritated. Luna than pushed me into the bus as she quickly placed money into the drivers hand telling him that we were on a tight schedule and to hurry up.
He rolled his eyes and muttered "teens!" as I was pulled into the end of the bus. Normally I wouldn't have allowed anyone to drag me this long but I was just to shocked to respond normally to anything. Luna glared out the window looking for the bench women but she soon sighed relieved when the bus door was closed and it began to drive away. Bench lady's eyes turned red in response as she glared in the direction of the bus, which caused me to shiver unpleasant.
I suddenly turned to Luna and whispered harshly "what the hell was that Luna! I didn't even realize what was going on!" I said confused and angry at the same time. Luna shook her head and whispered "siren" quietly as I glared at her "what! I'm telling the truth Zoë! That really was a siren!" she mumbled trying to defend herself. I crossed my arms "first you drag me around and you don't even tell me the truth!" I cried desperately and quietly not wanting to start a scene.
She looked at me seriously "than what was that Zoë! How the heck do you thinks he managed to rid you of your senses and control you!" she replied as she raised an eyebrow "how did you know she did that?" I said glaring at her. She shook her head and let out a humorless laugh "because that's what Siren's do you idiot! That's how they attack!" she answered still looking out the window as if looking out for something.
I looked at her blown away "and why would she want to attack me!" I cried desperately, which caused Luna to give me a 'are you serious' look. I lifted my arms out confused begging for an answered "because you're a demigod you twit!" she whispered, still looking out the window. I made my right arms go in a circular movement for her to continue "you remember those storied about Greek myths you learned in class?" Luna asked.
I nodded "well, their real every single one of them and a demigod is a child that's half god and half human. Monsters can smell demigods they are than drawn to you. That Siren could smell you a mile away! She wanted to fight! I expected this to happen but not this fast you didn't even know about demigods!" she answered starring at her hoove shoes. I starred wide eyed and rubbed them" their real aren't they?" I asked pointing to her hooves she than snorted shaking her head "thank you for pointing the obvious out Zoë" she answered still looking out the window.
I pocked it causing the leg to twitch and receiving a glare form Luna "so, if that's real than everything you telling me is true. Oh god Luna! please tell me its not true!" I whispered looking at her with pleading eyes. She shook her head looking down "when a demigod realizes that they are demigods their demigod smells become stronger, which means Zoë that now your going to be sought out and attacked regularly" I looked down shaking my head unsure what to do "unless" Luna began, which caused my ears to perk up. She breathed out closing her eyes and said "you go to camp half blood" she answered looking at me as I raised an eyebrow in the small bus.
I shook my head "camp half blood?" she nodded "it's a camp for other half bloods you'll be most likely claimed by your parent god and taught how to fight and defend yourself from monsters" she answered tapping her fingers on the window of the bus. I gulped "and what if I don't go?" I asked "you wont make it very long if you don't know how to defend yourself" she answered looking at me with sad eyes. I bit my lip "so what comes with being a demigod?" I asked looking around the bus "You'll inherit some of your parents ability although abilities depend on who your parent is beside that ADHD is normal.
As much as it is a pain in the butt now ADHD keeps you alive when fighting monsters due to your amazing about of energy and Dyslexia is normal as well, It was made to help you read the Greek language easier you know how all those words moved so you were able to read those Greek word?" I nodded still remember how scared I was. "Yes, well your body was made to do that so you could read the Greek language easier all of these are normal symptoms of a demigod.
But I had no idea that you were really a demigod until I saw that Siren attack you a while back" she answered as I tried to take in everything she said, I nodded understanding "so will I ever see her again?" I asked and nearly screeched as she nodded her head. She stopped tapping the window "I only managed to delay the fight we have to explain this to your parents and get you to camp half blood you'll only ever be truly safe their" she answered looking out the window.
I bit my lips so hard that I nearly drew blood from my lips "so will just show my your hooves and will be on our way" I said trying to reassure my self, when Luna shook her head. I sighed and shook my head as I felt a head ache come on "something else you should know about is the mist" she answered finally looking at me. My eyes went wide as I wore a 'come on!' face and repeated "the mist?" she nodded "yes, you see to keep regular humans from knowing about our world we have mists up so no one can see the magical beings or demigods using their ability.
So while your see hooves because of the mist your parents will see feet, while you see a monster humans will see normal people and while two demigods may be using their ability in battle regular humans may see and hear bullets instead of two children using their demigod abilities" she answered. I shook my hands and pulled my hands into a fist "so how are we suppose to convince my parents!" I cried irritated "will just have to prey they will listen to you and if they don't will have to make a run for it" she answered looking out the window of the bus once more.
I growled "will you stop looking out that window! Your scaring me!" I hissed quietly and gave her a glare when she shook her head. I sighed "you don't know my parents they wont believe me! They love me but they don't believe in the magical crap! I'm screwed! and would you please stop looking out the window your starting to make me paranoid!" I said angrily. She shook her head "you'll have to try I'll even go in with you and no I wont stop looking out the window that Siren could appear at any moment or possibly another monster" she answered looking out the window with great concentration.
I cried stomping my feet but pulled back smiling when I realized that I had made quiet a scene and everyone was starring at me. Everyone turned back around and I immediately wore my irritated look again "so what are we going to do if my parents don't believe me?" I asked looking across Luna's shoulder and out the window; she turned to me "well if they don't get packed and will try to sneak out the window" she answered before turning back to the window.
I gasped " I cant just leave!" I whispered worried "yes, you are your dead if you stay here you hear me dead!" she hissed putting emphases on the 'dead' part, which had done its job when I shivered. She shook her head "look will be fine" she said smiling I just responded by looking at her like she was crazy" "If we run away will have the police on our tail! Fine! Are you crazy will get caught by the time we try to get on the bu-" I was soon cut off when she clasped her hands on my mouth with extreme force. I blushed when I had realized I had made another scene and everyone was once again starring at us.
Luna giggled and waited for everyone to turn back around when she said "Look I'll let go of your mouth if your promise not to yell" I made muffled yes as I nodded my head "and don't worry everything will be fine! Your with me!" she said happily and confidently. I rolled my eyes and said "could someone else please escort me camp half blood" but since Luna had her hands over my mouths even I didn't understand what came out.
She slowly took her hand off of my mouth as she straitened her shirt "now will you just calm down will tell your parents what happened once we get to camp half blood if they don't believe us besides I beat they'll believe you" she said with a reassuring smile. I rubbed my temple stressed "yeah, well you don't know my parents in fact what normal parent would believe their children if they said they were half god and had to go to camp at who knows where without any prove what so ever. I'm screwed!" said groaning the last part as I began to hit my head on the seat in front of me. Luna patted my shoulder "everything will work out besides you got me! will kick any monsters ass if we need to" she answered, which only made me hit my head harder on the seat in front of me.
I looked up at the window when I realized that we were in my subdivision "why are we in my subdivision!" I cried shaking her shoulder practically screaming in her face. She rubbed her ear "I cant even feel my eardrum in my ear anymore!" she wined "and were going to go talk to your parents" she answered as I shook my head. I began to hyperventilate "are you crazy! Do you know what they ill do to me when they found out I left school! If they wont believe me now you wont believe what they will do when they see me!" I said.
Luna tried to pull me out of the buss but I held onto the seat refusing to let go "You suck!" I whined when Luna managed to loosen my grip on the seat. She chuckled and dragged my off the bus while every adult starred at us as if they thought we had just been released from an asylum and by the way looked at us I beat they did. Some how Luna managed to find my house and with my luck my father was indeed home! I cringed at the thought of my parents when they realized I left school half way through the day. Demigod or not like so many times before I realized I was completely and utterly screwed.
