Hello. I'm Percy Jackson, two time hero of Olympus. Not to give my self a pat on the back but, I'm awesome.
I was walking in the forest, where we play capture the flag. The camp was silent, many campers were home for summer vacation. Not a single game had been played since summer break. With the defeat of Gaia and all, we had a lot of sorting to do. The Romans went back to New Rome, Jason has been remodeling both camps with the help of Annabeth, and I've been bored. Really bored. Nothing interesting has happened since summer vacation, I'm thinking on just going home.
Suddenly, I heard a sharp, bloodcurdling cry. Something swished past me. I looked in the direction it was headed. The Camp. I ran towards the camp, not knowing what in Olympus those were. I got to the edge of the forest, and went into the clearing of the camp. I was near the Ares and Aphrodite cabins, looking around for anything weird. Then I found it. It was a woman, a purplish liquid surrounding her mouth. She had a wand, with a pinecone on top, that she was using to smash a window of the Aphrodite cabin. The woman was about thirty, but you never know with Greek mythology. Another woman, with the exact same weapon, came around the corner of the cabin, wearing the exact same clothing. They were both wearing crudely sewn animal fur tunics, made not from one animals fur, but many. She made the same screech she did a minute ago, and rushed at me. I pulled out riptide and yelled, "Die, evil lady," swinging my sword at her.
She backed up, and I was preparing for her to rush at me. She didnt. Instead, she hit the Aphrodite's cabin window and smashed it through. She then laughed evilly and disappeared with her friend. A little scared and confused, I walked towards the big house. When I got there, I was sweaty from the heat of the summer sun.
"Hey Chiron!" I yelled, hoping he would come quickly.
"Yes Percy?" He asked, appearing at the door.
"There was a monster in the camp! It was weird... It smashed a window!" I said to Chiron, who now had a look of confusion on his face.
"Smashed a window?" He asked skeptically. "I don't know any monster that would break into the camp just to smash a window."
Giving up, I said, "Nevermind, il get it when it comes back." And i walked away from the big house. It was two hours past noon, so I decided to find somebody. I walked around the cabins, looking for anybody I knew. Finding nobody, I headed back to my cabin for a shower. Arriving at my cabin, I saw something odd. My window was smashed. "Of all the monsters, why couldn't we get the one that gives us hugs and kisses?" I grumbled, stepping into the shower.
Five minutes later, iI got out of the shower, and dressed myself. I walked outside of my cabin, once again sweating. I walked two steps and saw it. The Athena cabin's door was kicked down. Pulling out my magical pen, iI rushed towards the Athena cabin. I got to the door and peered inside. There she was, the women with the pinecone stick, standing over a chair. She raised her arm, and brought the pineconed stick down onto the chair, smashing it in half. That was not going to be me. I burst through the doorway, slicing her on the back. She turned around and didn't look hurt at all. "Crap," I complained. I raised my sword, and chopped the pinecone stick. It didn't break. The woman, now trying to hit me, advanced in my direction. I rolled around her, and stabbed her in the back, Link style. She couldn't move, but she wasn't harmed. She walked forward, off the blade and turned around. I knew I couldn't fight her, so I ran towards Annabeth's bunk. Dodging her attack, I arrived at Annabeth's bunk, and searched her cupboard. I pulled out a phone quickly, while the woman came towards me, smashing bunks. I woke up the phone, and went to the camera app. I took a picture of the woman, temporarally blinding her. I rolled around her, and raced out the door, knowing I wouldn't be able to fight her. I ran to the big house, this time with evidence. I opened the door, and ran into the main room where Chiron was sitting.
"My goodness, Percy, why are you covered in saw dust?" He asked bewildered.
"I told you there was a monster!" I said in a I-told-you-so, voice. He held up the phone, and opened the gallery. "See?! Right there!" I said quickly. I gave Chiron the phone, and Chiron looked at it, confused.
"Hmm... Percy, you had better leave these monsters alone." He said, calmly.
"Why? Their destroying the camp! They have ruined the Athena cabin, as well as some other windows!" I said, confused and slightly enraged.
"Go find Mr.D and bug him about this." Chiron ordered, as if this were a loaded question. Ever since Gaia was defeated, the gods had started showing up again. That was good except Mr.D came back to camp. I walked towards the strawberry field, knowing that's were Mr.D spent most of his time alone.
Finding him, I asked, "Hey Mr.D! I've got something to show you!" He grumbled at this and glared at me.
"What now, Perry Thompson?" He said, as if a bear was stuffed down his throat.
Ignoring his deliberate misspelling of my name, I asked, "Can you take a look at this?" Holding up the phone. He took it, grumbling, and peered closely at it. He yelled slightly and threw the phone, surprisingly well for an old god, into the lake.
"What did you do that for!? That was my only evidence!" I said, angry at the camp director.
"Did Chiron send you here? He's probably trying to get me to leave..." He asked and stated angrily.
"Um..." I said nervously, not wanting to get Mr.D's bad side on Chiron. "He did send me here. He told me to show this to you."
"Where did you get that picture!?" He yelled at me.
"I took it in the Athena cabin!" I yelled back.
All rage left Mr.D. "If their here..." He started, not wanting to think of the possibilities.
"Who?!" I asked him loudly.
"The Maenads, you idiot!" He yelled.
"Who are the meanyheads?" I asked.
"The MAENADS are... Creations... Of mine..." He confessed.
"Creations? Your creations are wrecking the camp? Seems fitting..." I joked.
Their not my creations you fool! Their my... Faults..." He said, almost sadly.
"How are they your faults?" I asked, pressing for more information.
"Their wine drunk women, that wreck whatever comes into their path. Sadly you haven't been near one." He explained.
"Wine drunk women?" I asked. This was just turning weirder every second. "Why are they here?"
"That's also my fault." He said, the anger returning to his voice. "They used to come to me, and I would feed them. Their like birds, if you always feed the birds, they will stop getting their own food. And so, they stopped collecting food and came to me, for I was the one who created wine. The romans call them Bacchantes. Their the same no matter what mythology your godly parent came from." He explained angrily. "And now their here, looking for me again."
"Can't you just tell them to go away?" I asked. That would be a pretty easy solution.
"If they see me, they will know I'm at this camp. But if I leave them, they will ruin everything and eventually find me." He said, now realizing he didn't have many options.
"Can't you destroy them or banish them or something?" I asked.
"I can't destroy them. Their immortal, and if I did, they would stop worshipping me." He said.
"They worship you?" I asked but Mr.D interrupted.
"Hey you take what you can get! Now if you don't want to be a sea snake, shut up!" He yelled angrily. I realized that by the time we got a solution, the camp would bbe destroyed. More damage then what they could fix before summer vacation ended.
"What would it take for you to go out there and destroy them temporarally?" I asked, knowing he would make some high price.
"Well..." He said, realizing how good of an opportunity this was. "You would have to do all the staff work for all of next year. And you have to start as soon as you puny demigods start showing up for camp."
"Done." I said, knowing there wouldn't be any haggling with him.
Mr.D looked at me skeptically and said, "Swear it on the river Styx."
"I swear, bla bla." I said, knowing the routine.
"I could turn you into a sea snake." He threatened.
"OK OK! I swear it on the river Styx!" I said, knowing that those words just sold my entire next year.
"Good. Follow me." He said, now smiling. We walked towards the cabins and saw the face off Chaos himself. The cabins were torn apart, the grass was ripped up showing dirt, the trees had gashes in them and the strawberry bushes were crumpled.
"HEY!" Mr.D yelled loudly. I heard a sharp cry and knew they were coming. There were eight of them, coming from all directions. Mr.D looked at me and said: "Close your eyes and run!" So I did. I ran towards the closest cabin, which happened to be the Dionysus cabin. How fitting. There was a flash of light and then silence.
"Get out here, Parry Johnson!" Dionysus yelled at me. i ran out the door and looked around. The cabins were fixed, and so were the area around them. I couldnt see the Maenads anywhere.
"What did you do?!" I said, saying the obvious.
"I showed them my true form. They were immortal but they were still women." He said, a slight hint of sadness in his voice.
"Everything's back to normal now?" I asked.
"Somewhat." He replied, gazing off into space. It was nearing nine o'clock and I was getting tired. "You have to keep your promise." He said, knowing that iI would because I swore on the river Styx. I walked towards my cabin, tired. I was going to prepare myself for the punishment that lasted a whole year. Cleaning.
Dionysus looked up at the stars, sadly. He hasn't known what he had done until he had done it. "Goodbye my love..." He said sadly, as a picture of one of the Maenads came into his head...
Hi guys! This is a new series of oneshots in the Percy Jackson world. Not all of them will have him though. I hope you enjoy this chapter that i used my whole afternoon on. This is the longest chapter, i have ever made!
Guys im reading a mythology book, (not fiction) and i will be using monsters and be getting ideas from there. In it, it says "the Maenads were women,frenzied with wine. They rushed through woods and over mountaina uttering sharp cries, waving pine-cone-tipped wands. Nothing could stop them. They would tear to pieces the wild creatures they met and devour the bloody shreds of flesh." This is no Percy Jackson book.
The next chapter will come soon, when i get more ideas. Expect another chapter of another story tonight.
