Haley
Chapter 1
A wheelchair almost kills me.
That day I woke up eager not knowing what was in store for me. You see like Percy Jackson all half-bloods have some issues, like ADHD and Dyslexia. I had both these things as well as anger issues. Also like him I was kicked out of almost every school I went to, normally for something bad happening to me that people seemed to think was my fault. I never really noticed how weird my life was until that day. Anyways it was the last day of sixth grade at Pallas Junior High and I hadn't gotten kicked out yet (which was really rare). When I got to school and had said goodbye to my mom and annoying step dad, Jake (who I would never see again, thank goodness), I found my friend Ana and we ran inside (well i did and Ana followed in her wheelchair).
Later that day at lunch we had just come from history and learning about greek mythology and we agreed that it was the only interesting thing in all of school (our teacher was really nice as well). It then started to storm outside like it normally did when I was around. But it started to get really bad and the lightning started hitting trees and even cars like it wanted to get close to me.
"We have to go NOW!" Ana yelled over the loud cafeteria and the lightning.
She grabbed my arm and pressed a button on the side of her wheelchair and then… It was dark, quiet and full of nothingness. I realized that Ana's hand wasn't on my arm anymore.
"ANA!" I tried to scream, but nothing came out of my mouth.
I then started to fall down and see a hill underneath me, I was just about to hit the hill when I woke up in a bed. I was somewhere I didn't recognize and it wasn't storming outside. It was peaceful, calm and quiet. I tried to sit up but my body felt like it weighed 1,000 pounds. I was looking out the window when I heard the door creak open. I heard Ana walking over to me in something that sounded like high heels (I knew it was Ana because she was muttering something about a prophecy and Poseidon in her high voice) which didn't seem weird until I realized that ANA COULDN'T WALK because her legs were paralyzed. But that wasn't the weirdest that had happened to me that day and it was the least of my problems. I turned my head and saw just her top half, I realized that she was very short when standing. She was preparing this thing that kind of looked like juice or something like that, when she looked toward the bed and saw me awake staring at her.
"Oh Haley you're awake! That's great, I thought that the jump might have been too much for you."
She noticed my face looking confused and she said
"Oh yeah I have lots to explain to you."
She then gave me the juice stuff which I decided was probably orange juice but when I tasted it, I was surprised because it tasted like the milkshake my mom always put in my lunch with a note saying something like 'I love you', 'I love you sweetie', or 'You go girl'. I immediately felt better and I sat up. I looked over at Ana who was still somehow standing there and noticed that instead of human legs she had goat-ish looking legs and her Auburn hair was braided with her green streak that had some leaves on it. And on her head were 2 small horns poking out of her hair.
"Wh..wha...what" I muttered. "Yeah I really should explain but we should talk to Ms. H first." She told me as she helped me stand up and walk out of the room.
