Act I
The Lighting Failure
6 Years Ago
Yancy Academy
New York, New York
Leo's POV:
A sudden falling sensation gripped my stomach followed bye a sharp, searing pain on my foot. And then, while I was already lying flat on the ground, something heavy hit me causing me to almost lose my lunch. "Ooof!"
"Oh gods Leo! I am so so sorry." I heard the person on top of me say.
"It's okay... Hazel." I awkwardly stared at her. It was silent for a second. Not the comfortable kind, the kind you just want to run away from and break the silence.
"Ahhhhhhh!" My head jerked up to see Rachael falling right on top of us. Camp Half-Blood must really put you in shape because the next thing I knew, I was pushing Hazel out of the way and then I rolled to the side. Hazel got back to her senses and caught Rachael.
"Ahhhhhh... oh, thanks."
"Look out!" and Jason comes out of the sky looking like a blonde idiot (no offense).
"Heads up" and party joins the Percy. I mean...
"Don't forget me." came Annabeth somersaulting back up.
"And me." Thalia said wrapping her arms around Annabeth's shoulders in a sisterly way.
"Don't forget your favorite satyr" Grover chirped.
"Present" Nico said without emotion.
I took a look around and found that I could see through all of my friends. It was as if they all turned into a ghost.
"Uhmm. Guys, you look like ghosts." I tempted.
"That's because we're in the past." Chaos' grand voice declared, making us all jump.
"Where did you come from!" Thalia demanded angrily.
"Just now" Chaos replied casually "Well? Lets get started. First stop, Yancy Academy."
"What!" Percy exclaimed "We're going to that place! Why do the fates hate me so much."
"Cause your Seaweed Brain" Annabeth teased.
"Lets get this over with" Percy said and marched after Chaos.
"You heard Aquaman. Let's get this over with" I kidded.
"Shut it Repair Boy" Percy grumbled from ahead.
This Line Breaks Name is Larry
"So this is Yancy." I said as we walked through the infamous building "Doesn't look like much."
"What are you talking about! This place is amazing!" Hazel gushed. She ran through the hallways like an excited child who just had coffee. "Wow! You guys have air conditioning?"
"Yes Hazel. This isn't the 1940's." Percy intoned.
Chaos cleared his throat. "Anyway, what can go wrong will go wrong. That's Murphy's law. Soon, right after Percy left for Camp Half-Blood, the brakes of the bus Percy used to get to the museum would not work causing a crash. What happens here is the possibility that the furies broke the breaks on the ride to the museum."
"So you mean that the bus would crash like it did in New York." Annabeth stated.
"Not necessarily. Let's see what could've happened."
Annabeth's POV:
Suddenly, we saw a bus roll out of the parking lot. The bus screeched out and barreled onto the road. It came to a red light. But instead of stopping, it kept on barreling forward.
"Lets get closer." Chaos said.
We floated closer to the bus. I could see a 12 year old Percy inside.
"Pull the emergency break" he shouted.
"Not so fast." Everyone, including the kids on the bus gasped.
"What are you doing Mrs. Dodds" Percy demanded.
"Alecto! Stop this!" Chiron (well Chiron in wheelchair form) said.
"Whats happening" some kid on the bus shouted.
Chiron snapped his fingers and everyone on the bus (except Percy) went cross-eyed and slumped in their seats. Alecto used the confusion and lunged for Percy.
"Look o-" I stopped. This was an illusion caused by Chaos. Percy was right next to me. Not on that bus.
percy (A/N: I will call 12 year old Percy percy and 17 year old Percy Percy) ducked and lunged for the emergency brakes and pulled.
The bus screeched to a stop and sent everyone flying forward.
"Perseus Jackson. The boy who's been giving my master lots of trouble."
"What are you talking about, Mrs. Dodds."
Suddenly, Mrs. Dodds eyes glowed an ugly shade of red. Her fingers elongated, turning them into sharp claws, and her teeth stretched and morphed into fangs. Her jacket melted into large, leathery wings, turning her into a shriveled, old bat hag with sharp, pointy talons and dripping, yellow fangs. A flaming orange whip materialized into her claws.
"Percy! Catch!" I heard Chiron yell. He threw a familiar looking ballpoint pen into the air. "That's a kindly one! One of Hades' three punishers! Remember our lessons!"
Alecto lashed out with her whip just as percy ducked. He dove for the pen and uncapped it. Immediately, it elongated into the long glowing bronze sword we all knew today. Alecto cracked her whip again.
"You think you can beat me?! In combat?! Ha! I am a Fury! Servant of Hades himself! Lets see how you foolish child can fight!"
percy had that determined look on his face that I still admired about him. He held the sword ready. Alecto lunged. percy swung his sword just in time to cut off a part of Alecto's whip.
Alecto got a dangerous fire in her eye.
"YOU DARE TOUCH MY WHIP! HOW DARE YOU!" she shouted in a mad rush. "I WILL DESTROY YOU FOR THAT!"
She lashed her whip with twice as much power and stalked towards percy.
Ahahahahahah! Cliff hanger!

AHAHAHAHAH
jk
i lied
scroll down for the rest of the story
Still in Annabeth's POV
percy readied his sword. Just as Alecto reached him, percy lunged forward with his sword and scored a hit.
I was so tense I couldn't even cheer.
"YOU THINK THAT SCRATCH WILL HURT ME! I WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF HURT!"
She lashed her whip with so much power, it left a long burning blood red laceration that stretched across his skin, cut so deep that you could see some bone. percy cried out in pain.
I started to cry.
"Percy!" Chiron shouted.
"Pathetic" Alecto spat "I'd expect a thief to put up more of a fight."
"theif, i... am... no... th...eif." percy replied with his dying breath.
Finally. Sorry about that. After my vacation, I faced a huge writers block (along with getting sidetracked) so it took me a long time to write this chapter. Stupid ADHD makes me think of other things instead of what I'm doing right now. Chapters will be coming quicker. At least I hope.
