A/N: Here's chapter 2! I have put this on at 12:00 AM! I know, that's awesome!

Again, Percy Jackson and the Olympians isn't mine, anything Greek related in this story isn't mine. Only the main character, Brooke Tyne, is owned by me.

Enjoy! Also, if anyone has any ideas for the title, you're welcome to share!

I seriously have writers block for that.

Chapter 2

I had thought yesterday was the weirdest day ever.

Boy, was that a speculation. Today was the weirdest day I've ever experienced, EVER.

I woke up late that day, I hurried and got into my clothes, ate my breakfast, and brushed my teeth. I practically jumped down the stairs and ran to school. I don't know why, but I wanted to get to school before the bus did.

As soon as I got there I noticed Nico was sitting on a bench with some guy with black hair and green eyes, he was pretty fit, and was eating a blue pancake to go. I laughed inside. A blue pancake? That's genius! It's to go, too.

Nico talked to the guy and pointed at his locker. The guy got up and walked to the locker and opened it. He took out the sword that Nico had yesterday.

How on Earth did he fit that sword in there?

I sneaked up behind Nico and the stranger.

"Thanks Percy," Nico said.

Percy? Obviously that's the guy who got the sword.

I walked over to my locker and opened it. I saw a note on the inside and read it.

Brooke,

Meet me by my house at five o'clock.

Nico

It looks like I get to confront him about today. What a coincidence.

The school day passed on as fast as any other school day, very slowly. When it ended I got up and ran home.

I opened the door to my apartment and saw my dad in the living room.

Okay, just to catch you up, my dad is a workaholic. He's never here. (I'm only 13 but I'm old enough to stay home and cook for myself) He was wearing his usual black suit and red tie. His glasses were lopsided on his face and his eyes were determined to finish some book that I don't care about.

"Hi, dad."

He jumped and looked up, "Oh, hi Brooke." That's right. Not sweetie, not dear, not honey. Just Brooke. Although it would be weird to call me a nickname... yep I think I like 'Brooke' better. "Why are you here early?" he asked.

"I just decided to run back home." I put my backpack by the front door and walked into my room.

My small room was filled with my bed, desk, and oh I forgot! A lamp. It was pretty much as small as a medium sized closet, but with a lamp.

Yeah, I know, amazing...

I looked at my clock, it was 4:50. I should probably get going to Nico's 'house'. When I walked back to the front door I look back into the living room, my dad was gone. Work was always first, I was last.

I sat on the stairs in front of Nico's at 5:00 and he came out.

"Wow, you're actually on time." Nico put his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah, well, it's easy," I responded, "So... what did you need?"

"Well, I-"

A loud crash came from his building. A large creature burst from the side the the five story building.

It looked like a giant bull that was ticked off for some reason that no one will never know. On his sword or ax, whatever it was, there was a string of necklaces on it.

I looked at Nico expecting him to look like he was freaking out, but no, I was totally wrong. His eyes were red with anger. Really, pure red.

"Are you kidding? How many times does Percy have to kill that stupid thing?" Nico groaned.

A/N: I just put the Minotaur in because that was the only monster I could think of! I'm sorry, I know Rick used him/her/it a lot!

"That stupid thing is going to kill us! So you might as well use your hidden giant knife or sword, or whatever to kill that stupid thing!" I yelled at him.

"Oh, yeah, like I could kill the Minotaur in one swipe!"

"Well you might as well try! You seem to know a lot about using it, since you do own it," I pushed him toward it, "It's not like I have a hidden sword in my pocket!"

The Minotaur looked at Nico and snorted, yeah that's right, snot pretty much flowed out of his red, tissue needed, nose. Maybe he needs a Minotaur snot-nose version of Pepto Bismol ™. He lunged at Nico with his.. I'm just going to call it a sword.

Nico ran toward it and swiped at him. The monster roared and slammed his sword to where Nico used to be. Nico ran behind him and cut his back. The Minotaur turned around and swiped his hand into his stomach and Nico flew in the air into the building. His sword slipped across the stone road near my foot and Minotaur dude turned around and looked at me with his evil eyes, his nostrils flared and he charged at me.

In utter panic I picked up the sword, and the next thing I know I'm doing these weird Karate/Kung Fu moves. Lunging, swiping, cutting, ducking, and getting hit with his sword. The air was knocked out of he and I was tossed into a pile of bricks.

I know, ouch.

My eyesight began to become foggy. I knew I was probably going to pass out.

I heard a yell and Nico ran toward the Minotaur and a large, slender crack appeared under it.

The Minotaur gave a final scream of farewell, which sounded like a pig getting dragged into the smokehouse to get slaughtered, and it fell and disappeared in the crack.

Nico stood panting, his sword hung in his hands at his sides. He turned around and saw me, slowly passing out in a pile of bricks that are sticking into my skin, and ran over to me.

"Stay awake, please try to stay awake. I have no idea what to do. I'll- I'll take you to camp." He put his arm around my shoulder and slowly stood me up and let me lean on him to walk. Which was a total waste of energy for him and me.

I lost all of my energy and fell to the ground. Which caused even more pain. Nico gasped and put me on my back.

"Don't worry, Brooke. The healers at the camp will help you."

He picked me up, sort of bridal-style you could call it, and a shadow appeared ahead of him and he stepped into it.

My eyesight began to fade, and I knew I was slipping away into unconsciousness.

The shadows closed in on us, causing the both of us to be engulfed by pure darkness.
