look we did not want to be half bloods .
if you are reading this because you might think you are one of us our advice is turn around and close this book right now ,belive what ever you want to belive from what ever lie your mother or even father told you about your birth ,and try to live a normal life .
being a half blood is scary ,dangerous and most of the times it gets you killed in painful nasty ways .
if you are a normal kid readying this because you think it's fiction great read on cause i at least envy you unlike my friend ,for being abel to belive that none of this even happen .
but if you recognise yourself in these pages if you feel something stirring inside stop reading imidiately . you might be one of us ,and once you know that it is only a matter of time ,before they sense it too ,and they will come after you .
don't say we did not warn you .
our names are Percy Jackson ,Naruto Uzumaki .
we bought are twevle years old . and untill a few months ago we where bought boarding students at Yancy academy a private school for troubel kids in upstate new york .
are we troubel students ,yeah you could say that .
bought me and percy could start at any point in our short crapy lives to bought prove it for me well i was hated all my life because of housing something i did not knew till now .
well for me unlike Naruto things are a bit diferent since things started to go bad at least for me that is things started to go bad last may when me and my best friend's took a filed trip to manhattan .thirties mental case kids and two teachers on a yellow buss ,heading to the metropolitan museum of art . to look at ancient greek and roman stuff .
i know it sounded like torture for me most filed trips where but Naruto seemed to be quite excited about this ,i meet him when he enrolled at Yancy a few months ago we straingely kind of conected sice he was funny and also like me a troubel maker not to metion that he had this strange aura around him that made people notice him .
he is kind of cool in my opinion since he has an atitude like me and he also likes to pull pranks i saw him do that from time to time and it was very funny not to mention that when he wants he could annnoy people especially thouse he did not liked .like the teachers for example all or most expect mr brunner where on his list of dislike or simply not very found of the problem for that being that like me Naruto too had the same problems being adhd and dislexya .
now regurding mr brunner he was leading this trip so bought Naruto and i had hopes since he was our latin teacher .
mr brunner was this middel aged man that was siting in a motorized wheelchair . he had thin hair and a scruffy bearb and a frayed tweed jacket ,which allways smelles like coffe .you would not belive he is cool but he told stories ,and jokes as well as let us play games in class ,he also had this awsome colection of roman armor and weapons ,so he was the only teacher who did not put me or Naruto to sleep .
i had high hopes for this trip while my best friend was simply excited even if he was not showing it much . the reason for this was because i told Naruto most of my strange odd incidents that had happen to me till now .
so i hoped that nothing bad was going to happen to the bought of us that could get us in to troubel boy was i wrong .See, bad things happen to me on field trips. Like at my fifth-grade school, when we went to the Saratoga battlefield, I had this accident with a Revolutionary War cannon. I wasn't aiming for the school bus, but of course I got expelled anyway. And before that, at my fourth-grade school, when we took a behind the-scenes tour of the Marine World shark pool, I sort of hit the wrong lever on the catwalk and our class took an unplanned swim. And the time before that... Well, you get the idea.
This trip, I was determined to be good.
All the way into the city, I put up with Nancy Bobofit, the freckly, redheaded kleptomaniac girl, hitting our best friend Grover in the back of the head with chunks of peanut butter-and-ketchup sandwich. Grover was an easy target. He was scrawny. He cried when he got frustrated. He must've been held back several grades, because he was the only sixth grader with acne and the start of a wispy beard on his chin. On top of all that, he was crippled. He had a note excusing him from PE for the rest of his life because he had some kind of muscular disease in his legs. He walked funny, like every step hurt him, but don't let that fool you. You should've seen him run when it was enchilada day in the cafeteria.
Anyway, Nancy Bobofit was throwing wads of sandwich that stuck in his curly brown hair, and she knew I couldn't do anything back to her because I was already on probation. The headmaster had threatened me with death by in-school suspension if anything bad, embarrassing, or even mildly entertaining happened on this trip.
''I'm going to kill her,'' i mumbeled
Grover tried to calm me down''It's okay. I like peanut butter'' saying that he doged another pice of Nancy's lunch .
''that's it ''i started to get up but Grover pulled me back on my seat
"You're already on probation,"he reminded me. "You know who'll get blamed if anything happens''
Looking back on it, I wish I'd decked Nancy Bobofit right then and there. In-school suspension would've been nothing compared to the mess I was about to get myself into.
''hey Perc's don't worry i got this ok '' i said having a plan in mind geting the attention of bought Percy and Grover who where looking at me wanderying what i was up too .
''hey Nancy will you drop it cause you are really annoying i mean is this the way you want to get attention cause if it is then this sucks ''i told her geting the red haired girl attention she looked at me not really liking my words but she said nothing since she clamed up and then she simply walked away in a hurry i did not really knew why because it was strange but i defenetly saw Nancy having a wierd light red face . i was puzelled by this since i did not get it .
''wow really i mean how do you do this you stoped Nancy from picking on Grover you must tell me how you are doing this Naruto '' i asked him being quite serios since this was amazing i saw my second best friend simply grining before he turned to the window .
''(uh hum ) maybe some one has a crush on our number one prankster you know perce since that Nancy did stoped after hearing Naruto out not to mention she dose not bully him and well you as a matter of fact as well . hearing Grover bought me and Naruto looked at him ,with me being a bit green at the thought of Nancy bobofit liking Naruto or dare i say me a thing i really shruddere to think about since the girl was nasty at most .
''hm really ? do you trully think so G man cause i don't buy it i mean she is simply mean but maybe you could be right i mean she dose act wierd around me even if she is mean '' i told Grover being honest since it was true not that i cared much about this since if it was true then Nancy had a sure mean nasty way of showing she liked either me or Percy .
''can we please not talk about this cause hearing about Nancy liking one of the two of us really makes me shrudder honestly this is so creepy '' i said to my two best friends since it was true i did not even wanted to think about something like this ,the two snikered at me but i did not mind them simply deciding to ignore the subject and focuse on what was going to happen .
Mr. Brunner led the museum tour.
He rode up front in his wheelchair, guiding us through the big echoey galleries, past marble statues and glass cases full of really old black-and-orange pottery.
It It blew my mind that this stuff had survived for two thousand, three thousand years.
''hey Perce if you won't stop gawking you will catch flies ,i mean i get this stuff is very old and it is awsome but i don't see what the big deal is since it is just some old stuff '' i replied while looking at the artifacts as well as the entier art that was present to us ,Percy gave me a look showing he was quite surprised that i did not showed interest in all this like he did but i could not .
for some unexplained reason i could not feel any kind of conection with all this it was some kind of plain if not desintersted feeling that i was showing as well as feeling deep within me ,unlike Percy who was very take in for some strange reason if i had to say it it would be like some kind of wierd tingly feeling that was around my second best friend while being in this place unlike me who felt nothing .
''oh really i thought that you of all people will be intersted in this stuff ''Percy told me showing he was a bit disapointed ,i shrugged since i was honest with how i felt it was not as if i did not felt totally disconected but it was more on the fact that i did not felt the same tingly feeling that Percy felt .
''hey guys can you pay attention after all you don't want mr brunner to call you out for not paying attention '' Grouver wispered while glancing at the two of us ,we bought decided to try and pay attentention since this was kind of important at least to Percy .
we where ghathered around by mr Brunner a thirteen-foot-tall stone col-umn with a big sphinx on the top, and started telling us how it was a grave marker, a stele, for a girl about our age.
He told us about the carvings on the trying to listen to what he had to say, because it was kind of inter-esting , but everybody around us was talking, and every time we tried to tell them to shut up ,the other teacher chaperone, Mrs. Dodds ,would give us the evile eye .
Mrs. Dodds was this little math teacher from Georgia who always wore a black leather jacket, even though she was fifty years old. She looked mean enough to ride a Harley right into your locker. She had come to Yancy halfway through the year, when our last math teacher had a nervous breakdown.
From her first day, Mrs. Dodds loved Nancy Bobofit and figured Percy was the devil's spawn while she was giving me a strange odd look .
She would point her crooked finger at Percy and say ''"Now, honey,"real sweet and we bought knew Percy was going to get after school detention for a month .
One time, after she'd made Percy erase answers out of old math workbooks until midnight, we told Grover we didn't think Mrs. Dodds was human. He looked at us, real seri-ous, and said, "You're absolutely right."
Mr. Brunner kept talking about Greek funeral art.
Finally, Nancy Bobofit snickered something about the naked guy on the stele, and Percy turned around and said , "Will you shut up?"
i snickered at the reaction since it was louder than it was intended .
The whole group laughed. Mr. Brunner stopped his story.
"Mr. Jackson," he said, "did you have a comment?" mr Brunner said to my best friend .Percy was embarest by this when i decided to intervine .
''well mr Brunner you have to excuse Percy here since he did not meant to interupt your story since it was miss Nancy who made him shout like this because she is rather found of idel chit chating instead of paying attention and she would more likely want to interupt class seeing as she is bored , i mean i get Nancy since this is boring but maybe she would like something else to do as a distraction ,i mean you know how girls are mr Brunner they would rathe talk about boys and fashion or other more intersting things ,you know gossip .
i said while smiling that made the class to laugh again amd mr Brunner chukelled at me .
''well Mr Uzumaki you might have a point since the young minds these days are indeed more preocupied with mondaine rather than the past but i do expect that these kind of things would be refraimed for the time being since this is a filed trip and not some gathering where as you ,young people will like to say a place to either chat or hook up if you mind my lymain term .
again the class erupted in to a laugh though we were all kind of embarest hearing the joking words of mr Brunner since he had a point .
''yeah you have a point mr Brunner sorry for interupting i was just saying this you know since i was simply tried to point out an observation point ''i said with a grin seeing my two best friends doing the same as mr Brunner chukeled lightly as the rest of the class either grinned or chukelled as well .
''yes and this is indeed a good point now why don't you try and tell us meaning you and Mr Jackson here what this picture depicts '' Mr Brunner told the two of us we where bought kind of nervous me more than Percy .
we where bought looking at the stelle where there was the picture of an evile person that was huge and he was eating his kids that grossed me out since what type of monster was doing this apparently he was i really did not wished to even meet the phsyco who was capable of doing something like this in the first place .
''that is Kronos eating his kids right ? i heard Percy telling to Mr Brunner but he was not looking very happy about that i did not knew why since to me it was a bit obvious that the answer Percy gave was right .i simply decided to watch not wanting to comment on that .
''yes and he did this because ?''Mr Brunner asked wanting to hear the answer from either me and Percy ,i saw Percy trying to think about why he did that but he could not come up with anything . i looked at the picture again and even if there was nothing i decided to say what i thought about this .
''well the guy did this probably because he went crazy i mean he dose look the type ,but i wander just why i mean from what you told us from your other classe's this guy was a freaking titan as well as king ,maybe he feard that his kids might take over and probably do either a good job or a far more worst job that he did ,maybe the guy was tricked in to thinking that he has to eat his kids ,who knows i mean there could be a lot of reason's why the guy did this in the first place .
the class was looking at me with an oustanding expresions as i was talking about this . seeing this i was embarest since i did not wanted to sound so deep about this since i just thought about why did this guy did what he did and nothing more .
''well well this is a very intersting aproch Mr Uzumaki i have to say that it was quite detailed and surprising in some ways '' Mr Brunner told me making me blush since it was embaresing .
''haha nah it was nothing Mr Brunner i mean this Kronos guy might had been a diferent guy in the past who knows maybe he was not the creep that he is now if he would had not done what he did ,maybe if he could had trust in his friends more and not do something like this he could had been more malable but this guy dose not look like the friendly type i think what ever happen to him really screwed him up , well sucks for him cause he turend out like this , i don't even want to imagine how this must feel like to turn in to such a monster ,well i bet he is long gone isn't he ? ,cause this will really suck if he were to be back since he would most likely try to hurt his kids again and probably the world too .
at the words the class was surprised again and chukelles where let out but i did saw Grover and Mr Brunner not looking very well as if my words where a bad premonition that they did not wish to happen ,i was confused by this but i could not blame them since this guy was really bad news .
''ahm well yes lets hope that this wont come to pass cause it would most likely be bad very bad ''Mr Brunner told us sounding quite nervous even if he tried to hide that under a fake chuckel .
''yeah you have a point but moving back to what you said Mr Brunner this guy tried to eat his kids since he did not trusted them but they where Gods isn't it ? kind of wierd for his kids to be that but what ever .
the class snikered while a few of the girls replyed showing that they where grossed by this .
''eeeww'' me Percy and Grover as well as Mr Brunner rolled our eyes since this was not really disgusting for there where other disgusting things out there in the world .
''any way when Kronos eated five of his children his wife hid the last namely Zeus and gave the guy a rock to eat instead ,talk about stupid i mean a rock how did the guy did not knew the diference betwin a rock and a living baby he must had been bewitched or something to make a mistake like that .
the class laughed at my joke since it was funny .
''and later when Zeus grew up he tricked his dad Kronos in to barfing his brothers and sisters '' Percy this time added again the girls made a disgusted face leting out sounds as well not that we mind them .
''yeah and then was this huge war betwin the titans and his kids right ? with the side of his kids wining '' i continued after Percy said that we where bought quite glad that we did quite well .
some snickers where heard from the group .
behind us Nancy Bobofit mumbeled to a friend ''like we are going to use this in real life ,like this will go to our job applications 'please explaine why Kronos ate his kids '
hearing Nancy was a bit annoying Percy did not knew what to say but me on the other hand i had some words to say to her hoping that she will shut up and not act as if she is so self important .
''really Nancy ,haven't you heard what i said if not then let me rephrase my words ,the guy did this since he did not trusted his kids did you not heard that they where gods maybe they are still around even now but back then maybe the guy was scared of being overthrown by his kids i mean how would you feel if you would be a person who has power and comand others for years and then one day you might learn that your kids need to take over and not in a good way but over thrown you , would you not be scared , i mean not if you are a kind and carrying person ,but if you are a jerk or a bully of course you wont like when some one might come and take your place making you feel like you have to be on the second place .
saying this shuted Nancy up and drew the class's attention since they where very surprised by my words .
''and this thing about having to do with our jobs or what ever maybe it dose not but i belive that history as boring as it is might be important to learn since who knows maybe this stuff we see here might show something that was at one point real heck maybe this stuff that mr Brunner expalined to us till now and even at the moment might be real and if so then wouldn't it be better to learn from this so as to not act like the people we are hearing about .
now Nanacy was really silent as well as very embarest but she was also confused as the rest of the class was since my words seemed to have ringed through them looking at the class they where watching me as if i was crazy but Percy ,Grover mr Brunner and even mrs Dods gave me looks that said something else since to them my words brought something out ,to Percy he was confused but the three meaning our friend and bought Mr Brunner as well as mrs Dods where serios and where looking at me as if they where trying to dechyper how the heck did i said what i did or even come up with such vivid imagination .
even if it was wierd to me as well as Percy this was a sign that things where not what we would have expect since there was no shocked expresions but rather the expresions showed where as if the adults knew something we did not and this was scary
''whoa what do you mean Uzumaki you belive this things like gods and all that ,you are crazy you know '' i did not corected Nancy since she had a point but i was not about to change my mind .
''maybe but what do we know Nancy i mean we are just kids i mean look around what if this stuff is actually real cause it looks to me what if the stories are real behind these stuff then wouldn't that mean that there might be some small seed of trough , i know you might think how can this be well i don't know as you or even Percy or any one in our school might do but i think that there might be something out there something we don't get it since maybe we are not supose to cause then we will be in troubel ,maybe even this trip has a diferent meaning i don't know what but what if is like that then this mean that Mr Brunner might want to show or tell us something ,it might not apply to you but what if ,and i m streching this out but what if there are kids who are special maybe there are kids that the Gods might have and if this is true then chances might be that demi gods that's what these kids are called since they have half Godly half human blood might be real i mean who knows maybe Percy might be one heck it might be posible or not who knows all i m saying if this things might be real then we might have to learn about them since we can probably defend from what ever is out there don't you think so cause i do .''
i told her that showing that i was very serious ,the class was gawking at me as if i was nuts since they could not belive what i was even talking about but i felt like i had to say this since there was this strange feeling in my gut that there was more than meet the eye .
''ugh fine what ever it's not as if this stuff is even real anyway ''Nancy said mumbeling deciding to not bother the lesson .
''amazing Mr Uzumaki i had to say that your words where trully spectacular i might dare to say that you have a way with your own words though i do need to tell you that your theory about the Gods being real as well as demi Gods existing is very intersting since it dose shed light in to things wouldn't you say so ?''
Mr Brunner made me blush since i was very embarest but the way he said his words was as if he was very surprised and was probably telling me that i might had reavelled something i probably should not had , i tried to think about this but i did not really understood what was that i might had reavealled in the first place since i simply talked and said what i felt not wanting in the least to reveal something very important .
''uh y you think so mr Brunner sorry but i just said what i felt you know i mean i m sorry if i said something i should not have since i have the strange feeling that you might had told me that meaning that i should had not talk about something regurding the Gods or these demi Gods that i brought up .so sorry about this .
i said feeling like i had to apologise for my words twoards mr Brunner .
''now now Mr Uzumaki there is no need to apologise after all you simply stood up to your self and speak your mind if that was a crime then we would all be afraid to talk out isn't it beside this was quite beutifuly said so don't feel bad that you spoke out about what you felt it was needed .
i gave a nod to mr Brunner since he had a point and that made me fell a bit better .
''full credit for you mr Uzumaki and half credit for mr Jakson as well .. Zeus did indeed feed Kronos a mixture of mustard and wine, which made him disgorge his other five children, who, of course, being immortal gods, had been living and growing up completely undigested in the Titan's stomach. The gods defeated their father, sliced him to pieces with his own scythe, and scattered his remains in Tartarus, the darkest part of the Underworld. On that happy note, it's time for lunch. Mrs. Dodds, would you lead us back outside?"
The class drifted off, the girls holding their stomachs, the guys pushing each other around and acting like doo-fuses.
Grover and we were about to follow when Mr. Brunner said ''Mr Jakson Mr Uzumaki ''
the two of us stoped wanting to know what Mr Brunner wanted from us with Percy he knew this was about to happen .
we told Grover to keep going, Then we turned towards Mr Brunner ''sir ? ''
Mr. Brunner had this look that wouldn't let you go- intense brown eyes that could've been a thousand years old and had seen everything.
''you must learn the answer to my question ,already Mr Uzumaki here has a very good point about what i am talking about .
we bought heard him and we where quite surprised Percy more than me since he did not knew what to say after hearing this from the man .
''about the titans sir ?''Percy asked confused ,while me i had the sneaking suspicion that Mr Brunner was not talking about that only but something more .
''no it's about real life and how your stuides apply to it ''Mr Brunner told the two of us focusing more on Percy who was confused by the words .
''"Oh." Percy replied looking a bit akward that made me snicker a bit since it was kind of fun but i felt the same as Percy since this was very wierd to hear from the man .
''"What you learn from me,'' he said . "is vitally impor-tant. I expect you to treat it as such. I will accept only the best from you, Percy Jackson ,Mr Uzumaki ''
Percy right away wanted to get angry at the man while me i simply felt that he was a bit to hard on the two of us but i thought that maybe he had a reason for this since there was no way the man was acting like this with out a motive .
sure, it was kind of cool on tournament days, when he dressed up in a suit of Roman armor and shouted: "What ho!'" and challenged us, sword-point against chalk, to run to the board and name every Greek and Roman per-son who had ever lived, and their mother, and what god they worshipped. But Mr. Brunner expected us to be as good as everybody else, despite the fact that we bought had dyslexia and attention deficit disorder ,as well as we did not really made it above a c grade in our life as for Percy it was even worst than me .
but no Mr Brunner expected the two of us to be better than any one else and we could not just all thouse names and facts much less spell them corectly .
we mumbled something about trying harder, while Mr. Brunner took one long sad look at the stele, like he'd been at this girl's funeral.
he told us to go outside and eat our lunch .
The class gathered on the front steps of the museum, where we could watch the foot traffic along Fifth Avenue.
Overhead, a huge storm was brewing, with clouds blacker than I'd ever seen over the city. I figured maybe it was global warming or something, because the weather all across New York state had been weird since Christmas. We'd had massive snow storms, flooding, wildfires from lightning strikes. I wouldn't have been surprised if this was a hurri-cane blowing in.
Nobody else seemed to notice. Some of the guys were pelting pigeons with Lunchables crackers. Nancy Bobofit was trying to pickpocket something from a lady's purse, and, of course, Mrs. Dodds wasn't seeing a thing .
Grover and us sat on the edge of the fountain, away from the others. We thought that maybe if we did that, everybody wouldn't know we were from that school-the school for loser freaks who couldn't make it elsewhere.
"Detention?" Grover asked.
"Nah," I said. "Not from Brunner. I just wish he'd lay off me sometimes. I mean-I'm not a genius."
''that is very true but nither am i so who cares if Mr Brunner wants us to be better maybe he knows something about us ,maybe what i said in the museum was true you know about the Titans as well as Gods being real and probably having kids who are called demi Gods maybe that is what Mr Brunner wants from us to know about this and be ready i hope he is not right cause if he is then things are not good for us '' i said being honest i was looking at the sky seeing that it was very cloudy the sky being quite darkened as if there was about to rain at any moment .
''wha you don't actually belive this do you Naruto i mean come on these are just myths and nothing more there are no Gods or Titans not to mention demi Gods .
Percy said. i understood him since this was very wierd but i knew this was mostely true since there where a lot of things that we did not knew about ,Grover was silent but he made a face that showed he was not as convincing as Percy sounded since he acted as if something was expecting to happen when Percy talked like that since he was nervous .
''who knows Percy maybe we might be related to some Godly parent and be these demi Gods i mean anything can be posible '' i said while thinking at how i met my mother who took me away from my home the hidden leaf village .
Percy was skeptical while Grover who still being silent was intrigued by my words .
Grover didn't say anything for a while. Then, when I thought he was going to give me some deep philosophical comment to make us feel a bit better , he said.''"Can I have your apple?"
I didn't have much of an appetite, so I let him take it.
I watched the stream of cabs going down Fifth Avenue, and thought about my mom's apartment, only a little ways uptown from where we sat. I hadn't seen her since Christmas. I wanted so bad to jump in a taxi and head home. She'd hug me and be glad to see me, but she'd be disappointed, too. She'd send me right back to Yancy, remind me that I had to try harder, even if this was my sixth school in six years and I was probably going to be kicked out again. I wouldn't be able to stand that sad look she'd give me.
Naruto looked at me seeing that i was mostely worried he gave me a faint smile since he knew about what i was thinking .
Mr. Brunner parked his wheelchair at the base of the handicapped ramp. He ate celery while he read a paperback novel. A red umbrella stuck up from the back of his chair, making it look like a motorized cafe table.
I was about to unwrap my sandwich when Nancy Bobofit appeared in front of us with her ugly friends-I guess she'd gotten tired of stealing from the tourists-and dumped her half-eaten lunch in Grover's lap.
"Oops." She grinned at me with her crooked teeth. Her freckles were orange, as if somebody had spraypainted her face with liquid Cheetos
''yuck you are so creepy and that was so disgusting what the heck Nancy what was that for ? i asked not feeling very good about seeing this since it was really nasty i was annoyed at the red haired girl who acted nonchelant as if nothing happen seeing that look i wanted to prank her so bad and make her regret on ever trying to pick on Grover .
I tried to stay cool. The school counselor had told me a million times, "Count to ten, get control of your temper." But I was so mad my mind went blank. A wave roared in my ears.
bought Naruto and Grover where looking at me in surprise after seeing that .
I don't remember touching her, but the next thing I knew, Nancy was sitting on her butt in the fountain, screaming, "Percy pushed me!"
Naruto rolled his eyes hearing Nancy acting as if she was the victime and as if i did something heinious to her though i did saw him have a narrowed look while he was facing the water then he gave me the same look confusing me .
Grover was simply confused by what had happen though even he knew that Nancy was over reacting .
''wow Percy how did you did that i mean you made the water move twoards Nancy and you even made look like it grabed her ,hm hang on you used water Percy you used water you made the water move did you manipulate it ?''
i asked Percy who looked at me with a very confused face not understanding why i reacted like that in trough seeing this made me realise that what i said in the class of Mr Brunner was actually right and even more seeing the water being manipulated made me think of something i knew this was crazy but seeing this was now very obvious since his statue was there and even if bought me and Percy where not good at mythology i at least knew a bit about these Godly beings and seeing how Percy manipulate water to me a singel conclusion was the most obvious that being that my best friend was the son of Posaidon the God of the sea it made perfect sense since he was able to control water and other elements .
''uh huh ? i did what ? are you sure that happen cause i did not saw that ?'' i asked Naruto being very confused he was looking at me being serious something that i did not expect .
''uh Perce you kind of did and this kind of means that you are uh well this might sound crazy but you are a demi God and not any demi God but uh how can i say this uhm your uhm dad might be uhm Poseidon since he has control over the water and this might make perfect sense after seeing that .
now Percy looked at me with a stunned incredulous look wanderying if i was crazy or i was speaking the trough right away a flash of lightning passed right near us making the three of us jump since that was scary .Grover wasn't only stunned to shock but he also kind of let out a bheing sound as if he sounded or had been around goats ,that freaked Percy and me since we did not expected that nor the flash of lightning
''what the heck was that and did you just sounded like a goat ?''me and Percy asked at first wanderying what was with that flash of lightning ,though in my head a bad thought crossed since i had a very sinking suspicion of who might had been behind that and just why ,while with Grover that was just freaky .
''uhm no you uh just imagine it ''he told us but we did not belive him since he was acting nervous .''really ?''i asked with a small grin that made Grover look even more nervous since we kind of might had been on to something .
''yeah cause we defenitly heard something that sounded like goat sounds and it was coming from you ''Percy continued having the same smirk as me and it was really funny cause Grover was now very nervous trying to probably say that we did not heard him though we let it be for now since this was not very important at the moment .
for after Nancy yelled about Percy pushing her she materialised near us now looking at the two of us with an evile look after what i said to Percy to be honest the lady who was a very creepy granny was creeping me out since the lady was acting as if she was not even human to begin with .
some of the kids began to wisper ''did you see ''
''the water ''
''like it grabed her '' the kids went on now making me realise that Percy was indeed the son of Poseidon and this meant a lot of troubel for him as for me well i did not even wanted to think what me being the son of my mom even entitled or what troubel was i in to begin with .
i heard the wispers just like Naruto but i did not knew what they where talking about even more i was shocked that Naruto said something like me being a demi God and even being the son of Poseidon this was crazy and i wanted to prove him wrong since i was just a troubelled kid and nothing more .
though at the moment this not mattered since i knew i was in troubel again .
As soon as Mrs. Dodds was sure poor little Nancy was okay, promising to get her a new shirt at the museum gift shop, etc., etc., Mrs. Dodds turned on me. There was a tri-umphant fire in her eyes, as if we'done something she'd been waiting for all semester. "Now, honeys''
"I know," I grumbled"A month erasing workbooks." .
hearing Percy sounding as well as looking so defeated was very amusing but i did felt bad for him .now on the other hand i did not belived that mrs Dods wanted that from Percy since it was silly i hoped she did not wanted something else cause that would had been bad if it was true a bad feeling started to overtake me since this was not good .
"Come with me,"Mrs. Dodds said.
"Wait!" Grover yelped seeing that reaction we where bought surprised since we never saw him act like this "It was me. I pushed her." .
we stared at him, stunned. we couldn't belive he was trying to cover for us . Mrs. Dodds scared Grover to death .
She glared at him so hard his whiskery chin trembled.
we bought frawned since this was not good and we did not liked that but there was also something very strange in this whole thing something me and Percy did not get
"I don't think so, Mr. Underwood," she said.
''but ''Grover tried to tell her even if he was scared we where bought feeling bad for him seeing how he was looked down by that hag it made us angry seeing our friend being talked down by her .
"You-will-stay-here." she said with a firm tone having no word for discution .
Grover looked at us desperately .
"It's okay, man," I told him "Thanks for trying."
''don't worry Grover i wont let Perce be on his own ok since he is my best friend also '' i said as well being very serious that made my friends feel much better even if Grover was very worried for us and i did not blamed him since something was defenitly up with that granny and it was not normal .
"Honey,'s ''Mrs. Dodds barked at us "Now."
Nancy Bobofit smirked.
I gave her my deluxe I'll-kill-you-later stare. .me on the other hand just gave Nancy a grin promesing that she will end up in a lot of pain since i was planing on prank her .we then turned to face Mrs. Dodds, but she wasn't there. She was standing at the museum entrance, way at the top of the steps, gesturing impatiently at us to come on .
we bought wander how did she ended there so fast .
I have moments like that a lot, when my brain falls asleep or something, and the next thing I know I've missed something, as if a puzzle piece fell out of the universe and left me staring at the blank place behind it. The school counselor told me this was part of the ADHD, my brain misinterpreting things.
I wasn't so sure. and nither was Naruto by the look on his face that told me this was very wierd and also bad i did not liked that at all .
we bought followed after Mrs Dodds .
Halfway up the steps we ganced back at Grover. He was looking pale, cutting his eyes between me and Mr. Brunner, like he wanted Mr. Brunner to notice what was going on, but Mr. Brunner was absorbed in his novel.
we looked back up. Mrs. Dodds had disappeared again. She was now inside the building, at the end of the entrance hall.
Okay, I thought. She's going to make me buy a new shirt for Nancy at the gift shop.
But apparently that wasn't the plan.
we followed her deeper into the museum When suddenly Naruto did not followed after me since he was apparently was looking at some diferent statues that we did not seen when we where with mr Brunner .
''hey Naruto are you ok ?'' i asked him since i saw him not saying a word and was simply looking at the statues as if he was in a trance or something .
''uh huh ? what ? did you said something cause i did not hear you since i was preocupide ''hearing Naruto i sighed since he was doing something like this from time to time .
''nah it's nothing don't worry ''i said to him leting him know he was looking at me wanting to see if i was serious or not .
''mh if you say so hey do you mind going ahead since i want to stay here for a bit more i promiss you that i will catch up since i don't trust that hag .'' i laughed hearing Naruto say that since it was true i decided to go on ahead since i did not thought that Mrs Dodds will hurt me though i was not so sure for as Naruto had said something was wrong with the lady and it scard me .
''ok but don't take long alright ?''i told Naruto who grining at me noded agreeing .i left right away leaving Naruto alone i was curious about why did he chose to stay behind .
after Percy left i remained by my self i was starting to look around observing the many statues as well as diferent artifacts that where so familiar to me as i was looking around my sight went towards a statue where a woman with long hair and small face was present she was wearing a kimono as where some of the other statues i was perplexed about this statue as well as lady since i felt a sort of strange conection to her but i did not knew where or why .
looking at something that was written under the statue i was seeing a small golden plate where a name was written geting closer wanting to have a better look i glanced at the golden plate when i saw kanji i kind of knew what the kanji said but something strange happen and that was the letters around the plate began to rearange themselves and i was clearly seeing the name that was written there .
''Amaterasu ? hm is this her name it sounds quite cool i mean why not i wander could this be my mom's statue cause she kind of looks similar to this lady ,it must be since they are very similar but if so then could this be her real name Amaterasu ? i mean i know mom told me to study mythology but could this be it ,could i be her son ? i wish i knew but i think this is good for now i gues ''
saying all that i wandered about it since i did not knew what to think but even if i was still confused i did felt the same strange tingly feeling that Percy probably had when he was looking at the statues ,now this made me ponder since it was wierd for Percy was intersted in Greek and Roman stuff and i was intersted in this since it was close to my home .
now i knew this was very strange for the two where not even conected in fact there where diferences for this was clearly japaniese i learned a bit about the countries of this world since i kind of had too and i learned about the country and it kind of sound it a bit familiar to me .
but this still did not made sense to me for if there where diferent cultures did that meant there where other religions and if so then the part that felt more familiar to me had no conection to Percy what so ever ,this made me very confused since i did not get why mom would sent me here if this was probably true .
as i was looking at the statue of probably my so called mom i was feeling a strange warmth coming from her i knew it was just a statue and it was very creepy but i could not deny this .
''is that you mom ? if so why did you sent me here what do you want me to do here in the first place ?''i asked her well more like her statue wanting to get an answere but i knew i would not recive one for there was simply a statue it was not as if it was alive .
well that was what i thought at first cause what happen in a few moments would forever remain imprinted in my mind and make me think if i m crazy or this whole demi god thing is just plain wierd .
hello Naruto i m glad that we are able to meet again and look you even notice my name yes if you are wandering i really am Amaterasu your mother ,as to why i sent you here in this realm well as i told you there is camp half blood for kids like you ,but the real reason i sent you here is that i want you to represent me and our familly to the greek and roman pantheon since we never get along because of that pig headed idiot who is the king of gods psh please him king he is nothing but a pervert and a deluded man who is just as worst as his father the Titan king not to mention two of his sons and even his second brother as well as dauthers one dose mean well but she is hatfule of the other gender and has more or less became or rather turns a blind eye to the fact that people are good or evile no matter the gender ,but i do respect Artemis despite her flaws and mistakes .
though Athena i dislike her since she is nothing but a cold calculative woman beliving that only through her logic the best of results can be achived she has done so much harm than good since she cursed her hand maiden to a monster along side her sisters for she felt insulted by Poseidon after she had been chosen by the people of Athens ,what a petty woman ,and Poseidon is even more though he did became more mellow through out the ages but he to when he was younger was nothing but a brat who did not brought the world to a better direction .
there are a lot i can tell you but you will learn all that at camp i presume you alredy meet Chiron isn't it. he is kind of an odd one isn't he Naruto ? hehe well what can you expect he lived through a lot but he means well even if he might come as serios or pushy some times do not hold it against him ,and i see that you already had become friends with this Percy ,he is the son of Poseidon well this will be fun ,and you two even have a satyr as a friend how nice and amazing ,well i can tell you a lot more but for now we have to keep a limited time .
by the way you must hurry Naruto or Alecto a fury of your friend's uncel will try to kill Percy for something he did not even did i can not tell you what this is all about since i m interfering but you must know that your friend is inocent and if that pig even dares to blame you of stealing his stupid fier craker i will personaly come to that camp and set it ablaze with him being next that pig better not try to mess with you or our familly or i will personally let your aunt to deal with him .
i listened to my mother not actually beliving what was going on i was gawking at the statue thinking that i was probably crazy but the trough was that i was not i had so many questions to ask my mom about herself as well as dad and other things .still what i did heard was enough at the moment even if it left more questions than answeres i tried to think about all that mom told me but after hearing that Percy was in danger since some one was sent by his uncel who was Hades it made me realise who Mrs Dodds trully was as well as Mr Brunner since this was only obvious with him being a latin teacher and even having the armor as well as swords and even know so much about the Greek and Roman History .
not to mention that he wanted Percy and me to be the best as well as learn from his lessons and apply them in real life now this really made me realise that the myths where not just that and they where actually real ,i did not knew why Percy was acused as my mom said but when she refered to Zeus and that even i might be blamed for stealing something that mom refered as his fier cracker , it was very funny and also made me wander what she meant by this since from what i knew form the littel History i learned form Mr Brunner who was in fact thee Chiron ,Zeus did not had a fier cracker not that would had not been funny instead he had a lightning bolt .
but mom had a bit of a point in refering at it as a fier cracker since it was similar i began to laugh right away but then suddenly my face paled horror striking me since i just notice at what my mom had told me even if she said this indirectly .
''oh no you mean that thee Lightning bolt is missing you are teeling me that the so called King of the Gods lost that ,what the heck mom is he stupid how in the world did he even lost the toy of mass distruction ,don't tell me sone one stole it right under his nose isn't it ?
i told that to my mom even if it was very wierd i did not cared since i was simply stunned not beliving this i mean i did not knew what the heck was even going on here since i came at this time but i did observe the weather and it was very odd but now it made sense to me .
you are right Naruto that stupid brat lost his boom stick and he lost it in a very stupid way since a kid did the deed his name is Luke Castellen and he probably made a deal with that person i think you know of whom i m talking about since you saw him on that stelle now i don't know all the details or to be more exact i can't tell you more till you go to camp but there is a conspiere who wants to have war for there are two Godly symbols that had been stolen and Alecto had ben dispatched by Percy's uncel to see if he has the two items but sadly Percy is a pawn in this conspiracy as you will be Naru since that man is crafty and will use anything he can get his hands on to get what he will want my advice is pay attention to dreams any kind Naruto for they are very imporant for you any of you as demi gods .
i could not belive what was happening this was very crazy as well as serious i was having a pale face since i knew of who my mom was speaking of even if i did not knew who this Luke was i did not liked that he had made a deal with that thing since he was dangerous ,though i was nearly cracking up after hearing that a kid like me managed to steal the boom stick from the king while he did not knew about it , but the other item was a mystery to me as to what it was but since Hades was brought up by mom and a fury was here in the museum with us it meant that something that belonged to him was stolen as well this was not looking good at all .
''a are you serios about this mom ,is this really posible ? ''i asked since i still did not belive since it was to crazy to think about it to begin with .
Naru belive me it is very posible since as demi gods as heros you can do almost anything and go any where as long as you have the guts so stealing some one's symbol of power for a demi god is not so hard but i belive the culprit who is Luke must some how used a way to cloak himself and then go in to the room where the items where and then get away with them of course that the idiot sent his kids after him and tryed to find the items or one of them at least but they where unsucesfule at least for one since that nieanderthal is a second conspiere and he did tried to dethrone his daddy a few more times i will not be surprised if the hollow head will try to do that again since he is a stupid baboon .
hearing mom i was confused since this was very serious and also very bad since it was obvious that Kronos wanted war or maybe he wanted to take over again still i had to hand it to this Luke guy since he really had a nice plan as well as guts to do something like this ,but i was lost as to who my mom was talking about when she refered at the nieanderthal or baboon for that matter though hearing the part of dethroning his dad i kind of thought of a singel person and i had to agree that mom had a point i began to laugh since it was so funny giving him a name like that as well as hollowed head it was kind of fiting .
''hahahah you are so right if it is him then he is like that but are you sure he is also behind this i mean he could not be and just be some one else ?'' i asked since this was more obvious that him being behind this to begin with .
he is Naruto since he is to stupid to not pass a chance of not seeing war since this is his domain after all war what an unsightly domain fiting for some one who is a barbarian like he is don't you think so ?''
i gave a nod since this was true for some one like him as a god of that domain it was trully like mom told me i sighed since i felt a head ache was already starting to come since this was bad for a demi god like us and a god betrayed the king and wanted to put the world in danger and to make it as if the two had nothing to do with this they decided to blame Percy if i would be too i was going to be pissed since i never stolen anything i may had stolen a few things for pranks but things these important even i was not so stupid enough i mean if it was a prank then maybe yes but this was not a prank but something serios .
''yup you have a point mom well if this is true then i have to go and save Percy from Mrs Dodds before she will eat him or turn him to shreads '' saying this i decided to go and try to help my second best friend from a certain death .i heard a wierd chukel coming from the statue of my mom probably she thought that the name was funny since who ever did used the name Mrs Dodds to begin with but it was amusing as well as fiting for her .
wait Naruto before you go i want you to have this as well as a weapon .
i let out a 'huh ?' since i did not knew what mom even refered to but i noticed in a second that my outfit was gone being replaced with the same shrime outfit that she gave me and even more the same strange black staff with a big circel and smaller circels around was now given to me as well .i was very amazed as well as very greatfule for the gifts that my mom gave for me .
this is more like it since you are now ready for battel and as well as more imposing if you want to understand the weapon i gave you it is called a shakujo a staff that it is used by monks and even sages it has devine power since we blessed the item so use this to defeat Alecto and show the might of our familly .
i gave anod in understanding being surprised by this since i notice that this was probably a very powerfule weapon grining i decided to do as mom said since i wanted to kick butt and show that no one was messing with my friends be it monsters or even godly beings or what ever .
turning form the statue of my mom i gave her a silent thanks and then walked away to find Percy before it was to late .
I followed her deeper into the museum. When I finally caught up to her, we were back in the Greek and Roman section.
Except for us, the gallery was empty.
Mrs. Dodds stood with her arms crossed in front of a big marble frieze of the Greek gods. She was making this weird noise in her throat, like growling.
Even without the noise, I would've been nervous. It's weird being alone with a teacher, especially Mrs. Dodds. Something about the way she looked at the frieze, as if she wanted to pulverize it...
"You've been giving us problems, honey," she said.
I did the safe thing. I said, "Yes, ma'am."
She tugged on the cuffs of her leather jacket. "Did you really think you would get away with it?"
The look in her eyes was beyond mad. It was evil.
She's a teacher, I thought nervously. It's not like she's going to hurt me.
I said, "I'll-I'll try harder, ma'am."
Thunder shook the building.
"We are not fools, Percy Jackson," Mrs. Dodds said. "It was only a matter of time before we found you out. Confess, and you will suffer less pain."
I didn't know what she was talking about
All I could think of was that the teachers must've found the illegal stash of candy I'd been selling out of my dorm room. Or maybe they'd realized I got my essay on Tom Sawyer from the Internet without ever reading the book and now they were going to take away my grade. Or worse, they were going to make me read the book .
"Well?" she demanded.
"Ma'am, I don't..." i responded not knowing what to say since i did not knew what she was even talking about .
"Your time is up," she hissed.
Then the weirdest thing happened. Her eyes began to glow like barbecue coals. Her fingers stretched, turning into talons. Her jacket melted into large, leathery wings. She wasn't human. She was a shriveled hag with bat wings and claws and a mouth full of yellow fangs, and she was about to slice me to ribbons .
Then things got even stranger.
first Naruto came running in looking totally diferent shoking me as well as Mrs Dodds or what ever she had became and then Mr. Brunner, who'd been out in front of the museum a minute before, wheeled his chair into the doorway of the gallery, holding a pen in his hand.
"What ho, Percy ,Naruto ''he shouted, and tossed the pen through the air. while looking at Naruto with great surprise .
Mrs. Dodds lunged at us ,With a yelp, I dodged and felt talons slash the air next to my ear. I snatched the ballpoint pen out of the air, but when it hit my hand, it wasn't a pen anymore. It was a sword-Mr. Brunner's bronze sword, which he always used on tournament day.
''cool that's the sword that Mr Brunner used in his class ''i heard Naruto say out loud he was rather calm unlike me who was shaking and was scared of what ever Mrs Dodds was in the frst place .
Mrs. Dodds spun toward us with a murderous look in her eyes.
My knees were jelly. My hands were shaking so bad I almost dropped the sword.
Naruto on the other hand was looking as if he was ready for a fight since he was serios and not afraid .
She snarled ''Die honies ''
And she flew straight at us .
Absolute terror ran through my body i was about to do the only thing i felt and that was to cut her sholder but Naruto steped in and with a swing of his strange staff he defend us from Mrs Dodds .
''you stay out of this brat this dose not concern you since you are not even a Greek to begin with '' Mrs Dodds or Alecto told me i simply chose to ignore her Percy was confused while mr Brunner was very surprised .
''sorry Mrs Alecto but i don't care about what you say since you are making a mistake Percy is not the thif you are looking for some one else is and i bet Percy dose not have the boom stick on him or what ever had been stolen from his uncel Hades please i m serios some one else is behind this and is using Percy and even his familly if you do this you will only play in to the real thives hands .
saying this really made a few shocking waves since Mrs Alecto was looking at me with great surprise since i called her name out now she was staring at me giving me a critical look Percy was shocked since he did not belive what just happen when i called Mrs Dodds by that name or that i continued with telling them that he did not had the boom stick or the other item that was stolen and that he was being framed by some one else to start a war ,Mr Brunner was the most shocked since he did not expect me to know so much about this side of the world even going as far as talking about the lightning bolt being missing and Percy being acused as well as talk about some other people who where behind this and even bring in to question the second item that was stolen .
''what ,what are you talking about Uzumaki speak fast before i will turn you to shreads for stoping me to punish your friend .Alecto groweled at us scaring Percy who was ready to either attack or bolt away from the monstrous woman .
''what are you talking about Naruto what is going on here just how did Mrs Dodds change in to that thing and am i being acused of something ? '' i asked not understanding what was even going on i was feeling like the world was going nuts around me and i was the only sane person or at least i belived i was .
''well Perce i think what Mr Brunner here told us refered to this since we are demi gods if you have doubts then trust me Mrs Alecto is very real and you know who she works for since i just told his name even if the earth shake a bit he is your second uncel after the big guy in the sky who lost the boom stick and he is probably throwing a fit because of it ''
saying that Percy gawked at me as if i was crazy or thought that he was going crazy thunder boomed outside because of what i said about Zeus and his littel toy ,Alecto smirked even if a bit while Mr Brunner chukelled shaking his head not beliving how i was acting in a situation like this .
''wha you must be joking this is not ,no it can't be real this is dream nothing more Naruto stop making stuff up ''i told him not wanting to belive him , my best friend sighed face palming himself making me quite annoyed at his way of acting .
''Percy just look at Mrs Alecto she is a freaking fury for crying out loud do you think this is fake we can't be easily tricked like that since we have better senses than normal people '' i said to him not wanting to beat around the bush since it was obvious ,Percy was still in doubt not beliving me .
''forget it child the son of the sea dose not understand but i m curios about you Uzumaki how do you know about this i bet your mother contacted you isn't it that is the only way for you to know of this ''Alecto asked with a curios expresion seeing how i was wearing a shrime uniform it was a give away of who she was talking about .
''yeah she did this and she also told me about you and the boom stick being stolen as well as the item of your master Hades i can tell you more but i think we are not really supose to i don't know why since even mom was not that much forth coming but she did told me that he was behind this and he acted through two people a demi god who snucked in to the throne room when ever the theft happen and the second person is the stupid guy of war ,that is all i can say for the moment these two are behind this and probably know more so don't blame me or Percy please we don't even know much about this whole stuff how could we even steal something so valuble for you in the first place i mean we don't know much about your world to begin with let alone steal something from you guys .
saying this Alecto stoped she had a frown on her face since it looked as if she was disapointed that she could not hurt us since it looked like she would want too i did not liked this but i said nothing . though even so she did looked quite serious regurding the rest of my words .
''are you sure about your words ,are you sure some one else has stolen the helm and is conspiering with the war god ? and most of all are you sure he is behind this all .
i was simply calm and noded at Alecto who was looking at me her expresion even if it was creepy had a calm but understanding and grave tone .
''very well i shall report back to my master if what you are saying is true Uzumaki you better pray it is like this or we will hunt you down despite being her son we will not take kindly to treachery be heed of this .
again i noded since i had no reason to lie since mom told me this and i had littel reason to belive she was lying to me .
''my mom told me just a few minutes ago Mrs Alecto and i don't think she was lying or had any reason to do something like that in the first place .
Mrs Alecto noded realising that i said the trough .
''yes lady Amaterasu will indeed had littel to gain from lying even if she dose not like a few of us not that i blame her since the king is very unsociable and looks for fights as well as he is distrustfule and paranoied '' i chukelled at the words since they where true but i was not the only one for even Mr Brunner did but he was a bit worried about another thunder coming .
''very well young hero i will leave and let you and the son of the sea god alive but if what you have spoken is true you are in grave danger for the crooked one will stop at nothing to get what he wants so take heed and be carfule from this day forth .
Alecto told me this was not very good since things where bad very bad Percy was still in shock but he was at least glad to be alive even if he was shaken and confused .Mr Brunner on the other hand looked as if he had just seen a ghost after hearing what Alecto had said when refering to Kronos he was pale and shaking his expresion showing disbelif .
after that chat Mrs Alecto turned in to a sand castel that was in a power fan her body turning in to yellow powder vaporized on the spot, leaving nothing but the smell of sulfur and a dying screech and a chill of evil in the air, as if those two glowing red eyes were still watching watching us .
we remained alone the sword that Percy had turned in to ballpoint pen .
Mr. Brunner wasn't there. Nobody was there but us .
i was calm though i did not like how things turned out even if i managed to stop the fight Percy was shaking still trembeling i did not held it agaisnt him since this was really scary i fought agasint a ninja who was much better than me but even so this did not compared to that since in that fight i was determined and angry at Mizuki here i was calm since i was kind of scared like Percy too .
looking at him i guess he probably thinks that his luch was most likely poisened with magic mushrooms or some-thing. since he was looking as if he was imagining if this whole thing even happen to begin with i felt bad for him since i felt the same way but we bought knew in our gut as well as minds that what we saw was real very real .
we went back outside not saying much i still remained in my shrime outfit not being able to change i was observing Percy glancing at me since he was confused as well as very curios about my outfit since he never saw anything like it before i did not held it against him since it was rather new for him unlike me who was some what used to these kind of things .
It had started to rain.
Grover was sitting by the fountain, a museum map tented over his head. Nancy Bobofit was still standing there, soaked from her swim in the fountain, grumbling to her ugly friends. When she saw us she stared at me as well as her friends being very confused by my outfit Grover doing the same thing also ,i simply chukelled at them not being bothered even if the rain was falling down bought me and Percy where fine me since the drops where melting steam coming from the touch of the cold water ,while Percy was dry as if he was not affected by this in the least .
''wow what is that Uzumaki ?'' Nancy asked showing confusion as well as interst straingely me and Percy saw a light blush on her cheeks ,we did not expected to see that from her or her friends who reacted in a similar way .
''hm this oh this is a shrime outfit that my mom gave for me since she wears this also it's traditional where we come from ''i said since it was true even if i did not told them that my mom was a goddes from a diferent culture .
the group looked at me not saying a thing making me uncomfortable for a few minutes .
''oh is that so well uhm you uhm well you look kind of nice y you know '' Nancy told me with a stutter her face starting to grow even more red ,Percy and Grover where grining at me snikering since they saw that .
''oh so you like how Naruto looks in these cloths huh so that means you like him bobfit ?''Percy said wanting to teas her as revenge probably ,the girl growlled at him growing very red .
''ah shut up Jakson i hope miss Kerr wipped your butt ''Nancy shouted at Percy we where confused hearing this since there was no miss Kerr that we knew of .
we said "Who?"
"Our teacher. Duh!" Nancy replyed with a flat tone not wanting to be very concreat with her words .
we blinked. We had no teacher named Mrs. Kerr we asked Nancy what she was talking about.
She just rolled her eyes and turned away .that made things wierd for me and Percy since we knew that there was no such person as miss Kerr so something was definitly up .
we asked Grover where Mrs. Dodds was.
He said, "Who?"
But he paused first, and he wouldn't look at us so we thought he was messing with us
"Not funny, man," I told him. "This is serious." i told him
''Perce is right we had a cheperon who was our pre algebra math teacher and she was Mrs Dodds so where is she since people could had not just ,hang on a sec people just ,and you did not so you know that Alecto was here isn't it Grover admit it and don't lie to us since we saw her in the museum you knew about her being a fury all along isn't it so who repalced her or to be more precise who put an ilusion making it as if people forgot about Alecto huh it must be some sort of goddes or some one or thing like that .
right away Grover looked as if he was about to burst since he was cherry red and fretting we where surprised by this but it did meant that what i told him was true for he knew something though he did not wanted to tell us .
''fine Grover don't tell us but we will find out eventually '' Percy told him showing he was serious about this as i was as well .that did not made him fell any better in fact it made him feel worst .
Thunder boomed overhead .
we saw Mr. Brunner sitting under his red umbrella, read-ing his book, as if he'd never moved.
we went over to him .He looked up, a little distracted. "Ah, that would be my pen. Please bring your own writing utensil in the future, Mr. Jackson." .
I handed Mr. Brunner his pen. I hadn't even realized I was still holding it.
''Mr Brunner where is Mrs Dodds '' the man gave the two of us a blank stare before responding .
''who ?'' right away me and Percy gave him a look since he was acting wierd as if he did not knew who Alecto was i did not trusted the look or the words since he saw her like we did .
''the other chaperone our pre algebra teacher '' Percy told him .
He frowned and sat forward, looking mildly concerned. "Percy, there is no Mrs. Dodds on this trip. As far as I know, there has never been a Mrs. Dodds at Yancy Academy. Are you feeling all right?"
we bought stared at him deciding to leave since it was obvious to bought of us he was lying ,Percy might had been a bit fooled but i was not .
''he is definitly lying Percy you realised that didn't you ?'' i said while glancing at him
''uh well i can say that you might be right but why ? why would Mr Brunner lie to us '' Percy said being confused ,we bought ponder on this but came up with nothing though in a way maybe this was a way to protect everyone else since if trough about this would get out then big troubel would come .
we bought decided to not bring this up for the moment and so we simply pretend to ignore the whole incident even if it was to late .
