The Uprising
Family argument and then I try to kill a Half-blood
It was a beautiful day. I could already hear my mom bustling around making me breakfast and getting ready for college. By the smell of it she was making us bacon and eggs. Blue bacon and eggs. Long story.
"Percy," said my mom opening the door "Percy breakfast's ready and on the table."
I groaned to make me sound like I was tired, which in fact I wasn't because I had been listening to the sound of the kitchen grill and my mom for over 15 minutes.
"Come on Percy, do you want to miss your feild trip? The bus leaves in an hour."
DAMN! I leaped out of bed and ran across to my wardrobe and started putting together an outfit while mom left the room with a smile on her face. I flung it on and then raced into the kitchen and came to a grinding halt in front of Mr. Blowfish.
"Why good morning Percy my boy!" he boomed sending shivers down my back. He made my mom happy which was good but I still loathed him like I did smelly Gabe.
"'lo" I mumbled while sitting at the table. My mom gave me some bacon while blowfish rambled on.
"Yes Sally, always said the boy should be in the army look at him, strong muscles, good reflexes and a good attitude. Any way I was wondering if you had thought about the offer I gave you about moving into my house?"
WHAAAAAAT?!
"Eeerm... I have thought about it yes... seems a very generous offer... so I shall accept!" said my mother practically glowing with joy and went to kiss him full on.
"What! And you never thought to mention this AT ALL!" I practically bellowed at my mother. This was totally stupid! How could this happen? We were fine here! I shoved my plate away and went to my room. I picked up my bag and my trusty ballpoint pen/sword riptide and stalked out of the apartment slamming the door behind me.
I was raging. How could she not know that I didn't like him with his top sports car and pompous manner. I felt ashamed about the way I spoke to my mom but I had a very good reason. I was thinking about what to shout at him when...
"You look mad. What happened?"
I jumped about a foot in the air and whipped round to see who had spoken. No one was there.
"Annabeth?" I asked the air.
"Well who else can turn invisible that you know seaweed brain?" she asked pulling off her yankee cap with a flourish.
"Don't test me wise girl. I'm not in the mood."I snarled, kicking a can while I walked.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No. It's none of your business!"
"Fine then! Don't say I didn't try!" She shouted at me and putting her cap back on she again became invisible. Now I was madder than ever and sorry about the way I treated her. We were at the same school and she was my only half-blood friend for miles. And... no lets not go into any other emotions shall we.
"Perseus Jackson?"
Instantly I uncap riptide and swing round because usually only monsters use my full name. But my deadly blade is stopped in mid-air by a war axe. And holding it is a kid, maybe 13, Black hair and black eyes. He wore rocker style clothes and was splattered with his own blood and had several deep gashes on his face. He wore a backpack that kept wriggling strangely.
"Perseus Jackson?" He asked again.
"Yes that's me." I said. He was obviously a half-blood from the weapon he was carrying. It was up to my shoulder, with the handle a dark black and about a metre with a blade of celestial bronze on each side. I was already wondering who his parents were.
"Perseus Jackson," he whispered,"I need help."
And then he slumped forward and fell into my arms and I saw a dagger in his lower back.
My world froze. Apart from the dracanae ninja walking into the street
"Crap."
Evil cliff at the end sorry guys! haha R+R people!
