Chapter 2

Why does it always happen to me

Look, I really did not want to be a half-blood

If you are reading this and think you might be one my advice (alto I don't know, I'm begging you listen) is to close this book right now. Go and Believe what ever lie your mother or father told you about your birth and try to lead a normal life.

Being a Half-Blood is scary and gets you killed in nasty painful ways. It keeps you on your toes but still who wants to die. Not me thank you very much.

Now if you are a normal mortal who thinks this is fiction great. Read on. I envy your simple not always about to die life. I wish I had it.

But

if you recognize yourself on these pages. If this story is anywhere like your own then shut the book now. If you feel that ancient stirring like something bigger than you is out there then shut the book right away. Just forget anything you read because once you know its only a matter of time before they find you and kill you

Don't say I didn't warn you

Hey my name Perseus Jackson. Oh and yes I am a girl. I go by Percy. Please don't call me by my full name. I really couldn't control my name. My mom was expecting a boy and had the birth certificate made up even before she gave birth. So that was how I got a guys name.

anyhow I'm twelve years old. Up until a few months ago I went to an amazing school. Not really. Its called Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in the upstate of New York.

Am I a troubled kid?

Oh you could say that.

I could start at any point of my miserable life but things went really bad last May when our school went on a field trip. 28 mental case kids in school bus with two teachers hurdling through the state heading to the metropolitan museum of Art to look at some really old Greek and roman stuff.

I know it sounds like absolute torture. Most Yancy field trips were.

We walked through big large echo galleries. Mr Brunner droned on about a girls steel. I tried to listen because it was really interesting but every one kept talking. Every time i told them to shut up Mrs. Dodds would glare at me.

Mrs. Dodds was an old women from Georgia. She always wore a leather jacket even though she was 50. Although she looked mean enough to drive a Harley straight into your locker.

She came in the middle of the year when our last math teacher had a nervous breakdown. Teaching mental case kids does do a toll on your health. From the first day she loved Nancy and thought I was the devil's spawn.

Well Mr. Brunner was telling more of the story when Nancy laughed at a naked guy on a Steele.

I turned around and told her to Shut up.

It came out louder than I meant to. It away does.

"Did you have a Comment Ms. Jackson" Mr. Brunner asked

"No sir" I mumbled with my face feeling as if it is going to burn off.

"Well Miss Jackson can you tell me what this is" He asked me pointing to a carving. Lucky I recognized it.

"Thais Cronus eating his kids right." I answered but he motioned me to go on.
I spent thirty seconds think about it and people around me started giggling again. It totally did not help my concentration.

"Well Cronus was the king god"

"God?" He asked

"Titan" I corrected myself "And he was scared his kids would take over like he did with his dad. So he ate them. Zeus got saved by his mother and rescued his brothers and sisters by making his dad puke up them. There was a war between the gods and the titans and the gods won."

"Like its going to say on our job applications 'please explain why Cronus ate his kids." Nancy whispered to her friends

"And to rephrase Ms. Bobfits lovely question how can these studies apply to life" Mr Brunner asked with a twinkle in his eye.

"Busted" Grover whispered

"Shut up" Nancy whisper screeched with her face brighter than her hair. Which is a feet all on its own

Everyone was looking at me because apparently Mr. Brunner wanted me to answer.

"Oh! Well I don't know sorry sir." I answered looking at my feet because i could already hear the people thinking up the insults for me. Honestly I get one thing wrong and its like the world is ending. I don't know why I became their personal punching bag but apparently I am.

"Well half credit Ms. Jackson Zeus did indeed feed Cronus a mixture of mustard and wine making him throw up his brothers and sisters. Zeus sliced up Cronus with his own scythe and threw him into the endless pit Tartarus. Now on that happy not Mrs. Dodds please lead us out for lunch." He explained

We all started to head out the girls holding their stomachs and the guys acting like defaces.

I was about to join them when Mr. Brunner called me back inside. I told Grover to head outside without me.

"Yes sir?" I asked

"You must learn the answer for my question."

"The one about the Titans."

"About how your studies apply to life." He answered

I didn't know what he meant a girl who never got above a C- on her report card. He was the only teacher who had any real faith in me. He looked at me as if I was his star student. Not some freak show that everyone else thought I was. He expected me to be like everyone else no he expected me to be better. Even though I was nowhere near smart.

He looked at the steel as if he was there at her funeral telling me to go outside I mumbled some Mumbo-Jumbo about trying harder and left him and his thousand-year old eyes.

"Detention?" Grover asked

"Na not from Mr. Brunner I just wished he would lay off me sometimes I'm not a genius. " I sighed throwing my hands up in exasperation.

Grover chuckled. I thought he was going to give me some deep psychological crap but instead he asked for my apple. I was about to unwrap my sandwich when Nancy Bobfit came up with her ugly friends and dumped her half eaten lunch on Grovers lap.

The school counselor told me a thousand times to get control of my anger but I got so mad that a wave roared in my ear. I don't remember touching her but the next thing I know she is in the fountain.

"Did you see-"

"the water-"

"It grabbed her"

I didn't know what they were talking about but I knew I was in trouble again. Mrs. Dodds materialized right in front of me and made sure Nancy was OK promising to buy her a new shirt in the gift shop. then she turned to me her eyes blazing with triumph. Like I did something she has been waiting for all year.

"Now honey" She said and I knew i was in deep trouble

"I know" I grumbled "A month of erasing work books."

It wasn't the right thing to say then Grover did something I would never ever expect in a million years

"I did it' He said his whisky chin trembling. "I pushed here"

"Mr. Underwood You-Will-Stay-Here!"

"Thanks for trying man" I said

"Honey Now" Mrs Dodds warned

"I'm coming I'm coming." I grumbled I looked behind me at Grover who was glancing at me and then Mr. Brunner. Mr. Brunner was way to into his novel.

I turned back around and Mrs. Dodds was at the Museum entrance. How did she get there so fast. I trudged to her and looked back around at Nancy and gave her I-Kill-You-Later stare as she gulped.

When I turned back around she was inside the museum. Okay She wanted me to buy Nancy a new shirt at the gift shop. I followed her deeper and deeper into the museum. When I finally caught up to her we were back in the Greek and Roman section except we were alone.

She stood behind the steel glaring at me like she wanted to pulverize it with a deep growling. Being alone with a teacher is scary enough but Mrs. Dodds isn't like any other teacher
"Did you really think you would get away with it" She growled

"No ma'am" I thought they found out about my undercover candy store I have been selling out of my dorm. Or that I got my Tom Sawyer easy from the internet and they would take my grade away or worse make me read the book.

That's when Mrs Dodds decided to become a monster. Her leather jacket melted turning into bat wings and she became more shriveled up, how is that possible I don't know. Growing long yellow talons.

"Tell me where it is and you will suffer less pain" She growled

Then It got stranger.

Mr Brunner wheeled in with a ball point pen in his hand and shouted "what Ho Percy"

Throwing the pen to me Mrs. Dodds took that as a chance to screech and charge at me. Her Giant wings flapping faster than I could believe and she was barreling towards me. I jumped out of the way just in time catching the pen but when it hit my hand it wasn't a pen anymore it was a long three foot bronze sword it had a faint glow to it two.

Mrs. Dodds recovered from running into a wall and turned to me she screeched "Die Honey"

My knees turned to jelly and I almost dropped the sword I did the only thing that came naturally to me I swung the sword. It went through Mrs. Dodds like water with a Hiss she exploded like a sand castle in a powder fan.

I looked around Mr. Brunner was gone and only a pen was in my hand. I knew something happened though. I went outside and now it was raining. Grover had a map tented over his head.

"I hope Mrs Kerr whipped your butt" Nancy Sneered

"Who?" I asked

"Our teacher duh retard" She laughed at me then walked away

I turned to Grover "Wheres Mrs Dodds"

His eyes got a little wider and paused before he said "Who?"

"Not funny man" I told him hitting him lightly in the arm

I walked over to Mr. Brunner. He looked up like he never moved and his eyes a little distracted.

"That would be my pen. Next time bring your own writing utensil Ms. Jackson"

"Sir wheres Mrs. Dodds?" I asked

"Who? Percy are you feeling okay. There is no teacher Mrs. Dodds as far as I know there has never been a Mrs. Dodds at Yancy Academy" He looked concered

There finally done with the whole chapter sorry it took so long. I will start on the next chapter now. I dont know how long it will take. I am so sorry it took me so long. I feel terrible. please forgive me.
