Percy pov
For the next six months, both me and Bianca found it difficult to focus on pretty much anything. Well besides any normal boyfriend girlfriend type of stuff(we are two hormone filled teenagers, so
cut us some slack.).
Now it was three days before the annual school september dance. Everybody was excited because it was the one day during the school year that we had no classes. Me, Bianca and Nico sat at the lunch table with the rest of the students. Me and Bianca were holding hands under the table, each occasionally stealing food from the other's plate.
Nico had been surprisingly calm when he heard about me dating his sister. Claiming that he had known their feelings for eachother the whole time.
At one end of the room, there was a stage where the school staff would sometimes make announcements to the entire school. Our school principal, a tall skinny man called Dr. Thorn, had walked up on to the stage with a microphone. Behind him followed a strange new kid.
For one he had the looks and the body of a middle schooler, yet he had the beginnings of a goatee on his chin. Second he kept looking at Thorn out the corner of his eye, as if he was afraid that the man was going to jump him or something.
The strangest thing though, was the fact that, whenever his eyes weren't glancing at Thorn he would stare at Bianca and Nico.
I didn't appreciate him staring, especially at my new girlfriend. So when our eyes met I glared at him,immediately he averted his eyes and stared at the ground.
After Thorn finished his announcement, saying that that Grover Underwood was a transfer student from some prep school in New York. And that he would be finishing the school year with us, he promptly walked off the stage to get back to whatever it was he did.
Seriously, I had never seen the man do a single thing besides sit around, or occasionally walk around the halls like some sort of ghost.
The new kid Grover made his way to where we were seated and sat down beside Nico.
He was too focused on eating his mashed potatoes to notice me staring at him. When he did look up however he looked extremely nervous.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
I didn't answer, I just kept staring at him. Nico laughed and punched him on the shoulder.
"It's alright Grover, Percy here just wants to know why you were staring at his new girlfriend."
A look of understanding flashed across Grover's face,
"Oh, my bad man, I didn't know she was your girlfriend."
I still didn't answer.
Now it was Bianca's turn to laugh,
"Come on Percy, how was he to know that I was already taken." she said, giving my hand a playful squeeze.
"Besides," she continued, laughing a little. "Can you blame him? I mean I am pretty amazing to look at."
That got me to laugh hysterically, mostly at how red Grover's face had gotten.
Muttering something about being done eating, Grover walked off with his plate only half empty. We were still wiping the tears from our eyes as he disappeared down the hallway that led to the boy's living quarters.
"You know Percy," said Bianca. "You don't always have to try and protect me. I'm more than capable of doing that on my own."
"I know you are," I responded. "I just didn't like the way he kept staring at you."
She laughed and kissed me on the cheek, "I know and I appreciate the thought, but next time wait for me to tell you I need help, before you go around trying to intimidate anybody, alright?"
"Alright." I agreed.
She kissed me again,
"Now come on," she said getting up, "I'm not going to be late for fencing practice again."
Me and Nico both nodded in agreement. After returning our plates, we made our way down the hallway to class.
That night, on my way back to my room, I noticed Grover surrounded by a group of four guys, they were pushing him around, and laughing when he tried to get away.
I let loose a small growl, when I saw that the guy orchestrating this act of bullying. Was none other than Mr. Tattoo face from the bus. Despite my suspicions of him, I was not going to stand around and watch Grover be pushed around by a bunch a bigger guys.
So walking up behind the group. I grabbed the nearest guy by the shoulder, spinning him around and knocking him out cold with a right hook to the jaw.
The rest jumped back in surprise, as their friend fell, unceremoniously to the ground in front of them. Stepping over his unconscious body and in front of Grover, I faced the remaining bullies.
"Get out of the way Percy," growled Tattoo face. "This is none of your business."
"You being a part of this makes it my business." I growled back, getting into a boxing stance.
"You remember what I said on the? Well it applies to him to." I said gesturing to the snivelling Grover behind me.
Without warning, one them attacked me from the left. Swinging a sloppy punch at my head. I dodged easily and returned with a straight punch directly to face, making him fall to the ground unconscious with a broken nose.
Now there was only Tattoo face and one more of his goons left. I turned towards the goon,
"You sure you want to end up like your friends here," I said gesturing to the figures on the ground.
He shook his head, turned and ran down the hallway. Abandoning his boss, who started to back away with his hands up.
Before he could say anything i punched him in the jaw with a sickening crunch. He crashed to the ground, blood seeping out of his mouth.
I turned around and helped Grover up from the ground.
"Thanks Percy, those guys are real assholes."
"Just don't rat me out and we're even. Understand?"
He nodded. Moving his head up and down so fast, I thought it might roll off.
"Good," i said, turning and heading towards my room. " now go and get some sleep."
The next day at lunch, Dr. Thorn announced an investigation of the assault on a couple of students. Asking for any eye witnesses to come forward, if they had any information to help identify the culprit.
I looked over at Tattoo face and his goons, satisfied that they wouldn't spill the beans I went back to eating my lunch.
Time skip
It was the night of the dance. Everybody in the school was there. Either dancing, drinking or not so secretly making out with their date for the night.
Me and Bianca were currently doing the latter behind the bleachers, while Nico kept look out for any teachers.
"What's Grover doing here and who are those kids with him," said our lookout.
We quickly untangled ourselves. And straightened our clothes, so as not make what we had been up to, too obvious.
It was true, Grover had walked in with three kids I had never seen before.
One was a goth chick with black spiky hair, beside her was a blonde chick girl with grey eyes. The last person was a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, the more I looked at him, the more I wanted to punch him in the face.
He looked like some of the bullies that had tormented me at previous schools. Tall, good looking and with a cock air around them that told you they thought too highly of themselves. It certainly didn't help that when his eyes landed on Bianca, he smiled and winked at her.
His three companions noticed us as well, and began to waid through the crowd towards us. Grover was the only one who noticed the look on my face, the others were to busy looking at Bianca and Nico to notice.
I started towards them.
"Percy," Bianca called after me, "wait."
I didn't listen, pushing aside anybody not smart enough to get out of my way. The crowd in front of me started to disperse, noticing what had happened to the people that hadn't gotten out of the way.
Now the only people in front of me were Grover and the three new kids.
"Oh hey-y-y-y p-p-percy," stuttered Grover. "What's up?"
"Oh nothing much Grover," I said with a hard edge in my voice.
"I just noticed that your friend here,"gesturing towards the blonde guy, " was checking out Bianca."
The blonde guy snorted,
"So what if I was. What's it to you?"
I stepped towards him, now we were face to face. Well face to chest, considering I dwarfed him by several inches.
"Well buddy," I growled at him. "She just happens to be my girlfriend. And don't appreciate you staring at her like a piece of meat."
"Just apologize to him Shane.' said the goth chick, she obviously had noticed him staring at Bianca, and didn't approve of it.
Shane looked at her, shocked.
"Why should I apologize to a mortal." he said with disgust.
I felt my anger begin to rise to dangerous levels. I didn't know what this guy was talking about, but I was damn sure it wasn't a compliment.
"Because," I said, the anger evident in my voice.
"All of us here," gesturing towards the crowd of dancing teens, "have done something that wasn't so nice. And if you don't start to smarten up, you'll find out exactly why I'm here."
Before he could respond. The blond girl pointed behind me.
"He's taking them away," she shouted, running past me.
I turned around to see Bianca and Nico were missing from their spot on the bleachers. Instead I saw Bianca's fear stricken eyes as she was dragged by her collar by an unknown hand, they screamed "help" before disappearing out the door.
I was about to run after her. Suddenly I felt like I had been shocked with a million volts of electricity, and fell to the ground.
"What was that for." exclaimed Thalia.
"What?" answered Shane. "He was going to interfere with the quest. Now come on, let's go before they get away."
With that I heard their footsteps as they ran away.
My mind felt like it had been turned to mush, unable to form any type of rational thought. Then out of nowhere I felt angry. More angry then I had ever felt before, it was like something inside me had started to crack.
As strength began to return to my body, I started focusing my anger on a particular blonde haired pretty boy. I don't know what he had done to me, but he was going to learn that he just fucked with the wrong dude.
I burst out the doors that Bianca had been dragged through, and into the cold winter air. All thought of pummeling Shane to dust went out the window. In front of me was by far the strangest sight, I had ever seen.
Grover was tending to an injured Shane who had a black spike in his arm, a sword was lying next to him on the ground. The two girls stood in front of them protectively, both of them had strange looking weapons in hand. Then there was a group of teenage girls, dressed in all silver and with bows drawn at something in front of them.
Following their gaze i saw something that made my blood boil. There about twenty yards away, stood Dr. Thorn, he had grown a few inches taller and his hands had grown into claws. But what I had immediately noticed,was his arms around the throats of both, Bianca and Nico.
They both noticed me. Their eyes were filled fear and confusions.
Without thinking I charged towards them, picking Shane's fallen sword. Ignoring his cries of protest.
Thorn was so surprised, his grip loosened on the Di angelo's, who took the opportunity to slip away and run to safety.
I was so focused on decapitating Thorn with my sword. That when something shifted behind Thorn, followed by a pricking sensation on my entire left side, I hardly noticed the pain.
As I got into sword range, Thorn crouched down on all fours and charged towards me. I barely had time to register the fact that, Thorn had a tail with spikes on the end of it. Before he leaped at me, claws outstretched, intent on ripping me to pieces. I swung my sword wildly, I was used to the fencing foils not an actual sword.
As soon as it made contact, Thorn burst into a cloud of golden dust.
I stared dumbly at the pile of dust, unable to comprehend what had just happened. That's when I turned around and noticed the look of horror on Bianca's face.
Following her gaze, i saw that my entire left side was peppered with black spikes. The wounds seeping with a mixture of blood and green pus.
I only had time to comprehend the immense amount of pain, before my vision went dark.

A/N: alright another chapter done, don't worry Percy won't be completely overpowered in this story. As i've explained in previous chapters, vikings could be like human tanks when they got angry. And in this story, a berserker like Percy will get especially angry if his family is threatened. Just keep that in mind for future chapters, when shit starts to get crazy. Anyways guys remember to tell me what you think of this story, as I do read all my reviews. Until next time,
peace
