Dedicated to the real Emma who just keeps pushing me on...
And sometimes of the edge.
Emma Maverick, was not having the best of days. It started off with finding out you're taller and your hair's longer, normal, right! Then finding out your eyes are now midnight black is not the best thing to wake up too.
So now here Emma was, sitting in class, having one of the weirdest and probably crappiest days of her life. Never less, she tried to be herself (apart from her new features).
So after the bell went, Emma went off to class with Miriam,who was happily chatting away. "Well", mused Emma as the class waited for the teacher "At least we're not ugly". Emma turned her head to Miriam, who happily read a book, occasionally saying something from the book. "Like h-" Emma stopped her thoughts, a frustrated frown on her face and put her face into her arms.
Ever since the 'transformation', she felt herself getting darker and moodier, her thoughts dark and uncontrollable. It was like something, was, taking over her. Emma pushed the idea out her head, that only happened in books. Exasperated, she whipped out a book and began to read but as she did, the dark feeling returned.
A dark voice whispered in mind "Hon, face it, you're in one". The door that lead to the classroom opened and Emma spun around. A petite woman stood in doorway, her face ancient with wrinkles covering her hands. She smiles maliciously and says "Morning brats".
The teacher introduced herself as Miss Tieson and was as fearsome as she looked. Her lesson consisted of reading and for the first time ever, the class behaved. The reason, probably was, because of her appearance and her rude remarks. The class was going fine for Emma, till Miriam did what she did best, talk.
Miss Tieson had been walking around the class, making everyone feel small, when the relief-teacher had walked past Emma, the dark feeling returned back to her head. She felt something was wrong or was about to be and then at that moment Miss Tieson locked eyes with her. The elderly lady's eyes bore into her and for a split second, Emma could of sworn, that they flashed a ruby red. Next to her a voice, Emma never thought she would be so glad for, piped up "Excuse me, Ms Tieson?".
The demonic teacher's eyes snapped to Miriam, who had spoken and the aged woman smiled, in a dark way. "Yes, Miss da May?" she spoke in fairly interested tone. Miriam's purple eyes spoke slight fear but her face showed no emotion as she asked "Why do we have read about Greek Mythology? We're not learning it at school".
The teacher paused, her eyes flashed with an emotion, disbelief and then she walked to the purple-eyed teen, leaned over and growled "I would expect you of all people to understand Miss da May, after-school detention!" Miriam started in disbelief, then Emma did what was either the most idiotic or bravest thing she did, she back-chatted to the demonic teacher.
"But that's illegal here in primary school!" Emma protested, her mind speaking for her. Miss Tieson turned her eyes a deep ruby red and snarled "You too, Miss Maverick!" The teacher then loudly said "Anyone else?!" The room was only filled with the sounds of pages turning. Miss Tieson smiled victoriously and continued talking about some dude in Greek mythology. Miriam and Emma exchanged glances of shock then sighing and reading. As Emma's eyes scanned over the text, she failed to notice the teacher's eyes once again boring into her head.
Chatter filled the school as students left for home, chatting about their weekend plans or at least some did. Emma and Miriam gloomily sat in the abandoned classroom as they waited for Miss Tieson. Miriam was bored out of her mind and Emma was the victim of Miriam's mindless chatter. "
Just shoot me now" muttered Emma as she sprawled on the desk. The door opened and both black-haired teens looked at the door as two girls were shoved in and the door was closed once again. The red-haired teen was muttering curses and the other looked around confusedly.
Miriam looked like she saw heaven, "LAINEY!" Lainey replied as humanly loud possible "MIRIAM!" Tayla just giggled at the two's conversation and Emma just stared. The black-eyed teen asked questionably "What are you guys doing here?" Tayla replied "Relief teacher, you?" "Same".
It wasn't long before the door once again opened and the rest of the girls came in. Chatter filled the room, transformations, evil voices and demonic teachers were lost in the field of thoughts. As Emma chatted with Maddie about magic and supernatural, the black-haired teen's eyes drifted towards the conversation between Sydney and Miriam. The golden-haired teen's eyes glowed slightly as they aimlessly chatted.
Emma's eyes drifted on past them, Tegan, Tayla, Lainey and Tamara's discussion until her eyes rested on single white-haired teen. Victoria was sitting on a desk, watching the discussions with her multi-shaded green eyes. Her pale hands fiddled with what seemed to be a pencil. But still, Emma felt something about the teen was different. Sure, they all weren't normal; no one gets transformations emotionally, physically and mentally in one night. But something was telling the black-eyed teen she was different but Emma shook that off and continued chatting with Maddie.
While the chaotic sounds flew the room, Emma felt the darkened energy come once again when the door slammed open. Standing in the doorway was Miss Tieson and her, sisters? All of them aged and demonic with a devilish looks on their faces. Silence ran through the room like a winter wind, cold and unwanted. Tegan timidly asked "Miss Dodds?", that's when shit got real.
The triple terrors stared growling, flames danced around them and they started to grow bat like wings. Terrified the girls stepped back, some screaming and Emma stood unsure what to do or feel. Three figures stood, their faces inhuman and grotesque, large bat wings and eyes filled with hunger. So Emma did what most people would do, fucking get the hell out of there.
With no exit Emma stood helplessly as the demons came to her and her friends. They strided past her and left her unharmed as they set their eyes in the others. The once Miss Tieson grabbed Tayla by the neck and held her high. "Your end has come, devil spawn" she said as she raised her lethal talons when a silver blade blocked her way. The silver was pure white and on the handle of the blade was engraved a emerald dragon. The sword none other held by a familiar white-haired teen.
Green eyes flared as Victoria pushed the blade forward "You mess with them, you mess with me". The furies stepped back but the green-eyed teen wasn't finished yet. She swung the blade with deadly accuracy, the shining blade sliced through the one named Miss Dodds. The demon evaporated into golden dust as the others disappeared into the shadows.
Emma meet Victoria's eyes as she spun around, sword in hand. The white-haired teen then fell to the ground, unconscious. Everyone ran over to see if she was okay. It wasn't long after before Victoria was conscious muttering things like "Furies, mythology, voices".
The last word caught Emma's attention, voices, like her? Emma exchanged glances Tamara who was trying to keep control of Tayla and Tegan as they burst into questions. "What's happening?!" "What were those?!" "Where the fuck did you get that sword?"
Everyone just stared at Lainey for the last question. The red-eyed girl just replied "What?" Emma just rolled her eyes and looked back to the white-haired teen on the floor, cocking her head questionably. The green-eyed teen just shrugged her shoulders and then a rumbling sound filled the room.
An old-fashioned bus stormed through the wall like a wrecking ball. Tegan clung onto Tamara as a figure emerged from the person was a boy around the age of 16 with jet-black hair and sea-green eyes. He seemed unsure what to do and eventually shouted "Come on, let's go before they come back". He received 9 girls just staring at him, surprisedly Victoria got up first and started walking to the bus.
She said to others "Come on, what else can we do?" Eventually when everyone got in, Emma held on to the seat as the bus jerked forward. The green-eyed boy smiled and said
"Welcome to the Half-Blood Express, name's Percy".
