Chapter 4
Percy's memories
Yancy Academy field trips are the worst. But this one should be good because Mr. Brunner is leading it. Except Mrs. Dobbs will be there. The whole drive there Nancy Bobofit kept throwing chunks of peanut butter and jelly sandwich at my best friend Grover.
Walking through the museum there was a lot of cool stuff. My favorite part was the Ancient Greek section. Mr Brunner was talking and I was listening to music but he still asked me a question about who the statute was of. Good I knew this one its Percy son of Zeus ( A/N sorry but i didn't know how to spell his real name so I just put Percy.) " Correct."
Finally lunch! We were sitting there and Nancy dumped her lunch all over Grover. I got so mad with rage that I don't even remember what I did. All I know is that when I was done with her Nancys but was in the fountain. There wheree whispers all around me that the water some how grabbed her. When I turned around Mrs Dobbs was some how standing behind me. " Come with me Mr Jackson." " No I pushed her in." Now that must have taken a lot of gut for Grover. " No I don't think so Mr Underwood."
She dragged me into the museum. Way back into the Ancient Greek section. And we were the only ones theree. One moment she is standing next to me the next she is this hag that has wings. All in all she looked like a very old bat.
" Wheree is it? Wheree is the bolt?" "What bolt?" But I didn't have to wait any longer because Mr Brunner and Grover were standing there. Mr Brunner yelled " What ho Percy." and he threw the sword that he used on review day at me. Thats when Mrs Dobbs chose to attack. I did the only thing that came naturally I swung. The sword went right threw her and she dissolved into golden powder.
The sword that I use to hold was now a pen and Mr Brunner and Grover wheree gone. I walked outside and Mr Brunner was sitting reading a book like he never moved. I went over and returned the pen and joined Grover. " What did Mrs Kerr make you do?" "Who is Mrs Kerr?" I asked. " Our math teacher." " No our math teacher is Mrs Dobbs." " No" Grover said shakily. Thats how I knew he was lying.
When I got back to the school the principal wanted to see me. Great I was kicked out of my sixth school in six years. My mom, Sally, is going to be so disappointed. Well it was finals week so I better start studying. Studying never really worked well for me but I tried just for my mom.
The night before my Greek finals all the words started to float off the page. I never did this before but I went to Mr Brunner for help.
When I get theree I hear Mr Brunner talking to someone. And that someone sounded a lot like Grover. Percy knows too much. I should have known theree was a Kindly one in the school. Everything they wheree saying kept blurring together. Then I guess I had too much so my book fell out of my hands and landed with a thump.
I ran into a classroom and waited. Suddenly I heard a clomp clomp like horse shoes. Then I see a huge something thats like 7 feet tall. And it looked a lot like Mr Brunner. No it can't be he is cripple for life or something.
After my finals Mr Brunner wanted to talk to me. " Maeby its for the best, you leaving." I can't believe he said that. He is the one who has been encouraging and now he is telling me that its for the best. I just sat down my paper and I was out.
The last day of school was packing. Once I got everything packed up and on the bus I realized that I was going to miss the view from my room and Grover. But I didn't have to say bye to Grover yet because we wheree taking the same bus.
The Greyhound breaks down and we all had to get out. Across the street I see three old ladies and they are knitting a huge sock. Grover see the sock too so I say " Do you think the sock will fit me?" Not funny Percy this is serious. Once he said that the old hag in the middle Got out these golden scissors and cut the string.
Once the bus stopped at our station we got off and Grover made me promise that I would let him take me home. I agreed and when Grover gets nervous he has to go to the restroom. When he went I ditched him. I know mean but he was acting so weird.
Once I got to to my apartment I find Smelly Gabe playing poker. Then he threatens me for money and then I have to apologize for interrupting. Not a big surprise because whenever I come home he does the same thing. A few minutes later my mom came home and she had a bag of candy. Also not a big surprise because she works at a candy shop. She said that we were going to the beach right after she makes 7 layer bean dip for Gabe.
We get there and we clean out the cabin we always rent. Then we sit on the beach and have a fire and eat free samples. All blue of course. That night I had a weird dream. The weirder thing is Grover showed up to our cabin and he demands we leave. Getting in the car I made Grover tell me why he was wearing shag carpet pants.
We almost get to our destination when everything went wrong. Our car flips as if we have been struck by lightning. Then me and my mom dragged Grover to the entrance to this camp. When this thing that looked like the minotaur comes and grabs my mom. he squeezes and she exploded into a golden light.
I wake up and I am in an infirmary and there is this beautiful girl with golden curly hair and gray eyes. Which intimidated me by the way. All I remember is getting something force fed into my mouth. It oddly tasted like my moms blue chocolate chip cookies. Then I passed out again, I remember doing this 3 times. Once I woke up for real I was sitting on a porch and Grover was standing next to me. On my right side was a cup with stuff that looked like a vanilla milkshake. Grover had to help me take a sip from the cup because I couldn't hold it myself. Once I downed the whole cup Grover helped me up and I insisted walking without help. We walked around the wrap around porch and I see Mr Brunner sitting on a horse. Wait no he is the horse.
Once I found out the story Mr Brunner/ Chiron took me to the pretty girl Annabeth. She showed me around camp and I got in a fight with a Ares kid. I smoked her by drenching her in toilet water. All Annabeth had to say about that was that she wanted me on her capture the flag team.
Capture the flag was fun if you consider almost dying because some stupid idiot summoned a hellhound from the field of punishment to come kill you. If my dad didn't claim me when he did I would have died. Also i'm an outsider now and i'm not supposed to be alive. Great I just started to feel like I was fitting in.
Now I have to go on a quest to save the world all because another stupid person took Zeus's master bolt and apparently that was me. My life sounds great right PSYCH it sucks. You can have it of you want.
AUTHORS NOTE: SORRY FOR THE CAPS I HAD TO KNOW THAT YOU ALL WOULD PAY ATTENTION. I AM SKIPPING AROUND THE BOOK BECAUSE IF I WROTE THE WHOLE BOOK OVER AGAIN THEN WE WOULD BE HERE FOR HOURS. ALSO NOTE THAT PERCY'S MEMORIES WILL TAKE FIVE CHAPTERS INCLUDING THIS ONE AND THE SECOND PERCY JACKSON SERIES HASN'T HAPPENS.
On the way to LA we- me Annabeth and Grover- made a few accident stops. Like the arch or the bed store or even Medusa. Well besides the point we got the bolt and my mom back. Gbe is a statue. I met my dad. Grover got his searchers licens. My mom wrote a novel that was a hit. Life was good for a while. It even felt pretty normal for a big three Demigod. At least for now. If only I knew what was coming for me.
Another authors note: the next chapter will be Annabeth's pov so it will be kinda short but then Percy will also have a pov it will be on the sea of monsters. I dont know when I will be able to post a new chapter too. I am also thinking about writing some one shots too.
