Percy Jackson is owned by the incredible Rick Riordan, who I am not, so I do not own Percy Jackson.

Mirra's point of view

I sat at one of the desk in the far corner of the room drawing while I waited for school to start. Some kids had gone to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, but I had already ate at home. A few other kids and I were told to wait in the classroom.

I drew a picture of a big shimmering castle. The walls were blue along with purple jems carved into the side's and balls of white light floating around. In the courtyard were status and gardens of beautiful silver flowers. I drew a man at the top of the castle as the king. I drew him with black hair and green eyes, kind of like Percy, but something told me it wasn't. For some reason, I drew in a dolphin beside him.

I was so caught up in drawing, I didn't notice the girl sit down beside me.

"I like your drawing."

I wasn't expecting to hear someone taking so it startled me. I jumped, dropping all my crayons and paper. The girl in front of me giggled. She had long dirty blond hair that dropped down to her waist. Her eyes were a light emerald green color with a halo of darker green surrounding them. She had a splash of pink freckles across her nose along with milky pale skin.

"I'm Elizabeth Julianne. But, I like to be called Ellie. What's your name?"

"I'm Mirra Jackson Blofis." I answered shyly as I picked up the crayons and paper I dropped. Ellie bent down to help me.

"Mirra. Aww! That's so cute!"

I blushed. "Thanks..."

Ellie giggled. "Your really shy, aren't you?"

"Yeah..."

Ellie stood up and laughed really loud. It drew some attention towards us. Ellie extended her hand to help me up. I blushed again but hesitantly took it.

"Aw, your so cute Mirra!" She squealed. I was then brought into a bone crushing hug.

"Okay! I've decided!" Ellie shouted. "Your going to be my new best friend!"

OoOoOoOo

We all sat outside of school waiting for our parents to come pick us up. Ellie and I were playing a game with a few other kids while we waited.

In the game you devided into two teams. Those teams were Ellie, Me, and another little boy with black hair and striking blue eyes. I think his name was Zack. On the other team was two twin girls named Nancy and Casey. They both had brown hair cut to there shoulders and hazel eyes just like mine. The other one was a boy with messy blond hair and blue eyes. his name was Alfred.

Each team gets a flag. My team had the blue on and the other team had the red one. If the red team takes our flag and brings it over to there side of the field without us taking there flag, they win. But if we take there flag, we win.

I wascurrently in enemy territory. Ellie and Zack were still on our side protecting the flag. I had to be careful, because if one of the other team finds me, I'll be captured.

Slowly, I crept behind a tree. I saw the flag in sight. It was being guarded by the twins. Alfred was no where in sight. The twins made the mistake of guarding only the front of the flag, when I could just easily sneak behind them and take it.

But it all seemed to easy. There had to be some other tape. That's when I noticed the rope tied to a tree branch. Up in the tree, Alfred sat watching the back of the flag. They had planned this whole thing.

I had to find a way to get around their trap. I though then, that if Alfred thinks somone is coming, then he might feel compelled to jump down. But if he jumps down with nothing to land of, he's obviously going to get hurt. The twins both have caring nature, so they would run to see if he's okay, then I could grab the flag.

It was worth a try.

I hid in a nearby bush, making sure to crumble leaves to make noise. Taking two rocks, I hit them on the ground like someone was running, hit harder with each 'step'.

This caught there attention. Alfred got into a jumping position. I smirked. I then took off my jacket, and put the two rocks in the hood to it would make it heavier. I threw it. I heard a loud thump and identical squeals of concern. I ran from my hiding place. Alfred was on the ground and the twins were nursing his scraps. They didn't even notice me. I took the flag and made a b-line for my team.

I ran across the borderline. The other team had noticed there flag was missing and came chasing after me. But it was too late. We had already won.

Ellie high fived me. "That was awesome!"

I smiled. " yeah, it was!"

We heard a horn turned over to the sorce of the sound near the front of the school. Beside a black minivan,a woman was waving at us.

"That's my mom." Ellie said. "Bye Mirra, see you tomorrow!"

I waved at her. I sat down on the grass to read my book I had just got from the library when someone sat next to me and ruffled up my hair.

"That was some strategy M."

I knew that voice.

"Big brother!" I hugged him. "How long have you been here?"

"Since the middle of the game." He said. "I was watching you play capture the flag. That was quiet an awesome plan you came up with. I'll have to remember that."

I giggled. "Hey, where's daddy?"

"He had a teachers meeting so he wanted me to take you home. That all right?"

I nodded. "Yeah!"

"All right then" He picked me up and put me on his shoulders. He took hold of my ankles so I wouldn't fall off.

"Hold on tight." He said.

He took of running. I squealed in surprised, but at the same time happiness. Percy was a really fast runner, so it felt like I was flying. I extended my arms like a bird and cheered. The wind blew though my hair and hit my face sotfly. It was a comfortable sensation that made me cheer louder. I woundered if that was what it was like to really fly...

I saw the apartment come into view. We ran up to it...then passed it.

"Um, Percy." In yelled over the wind in my ears. "The apartment's back that way!"

"Ah, but we are not going to the apartment."

Percy ran a little bit faster. I held on tighter to his neck so I wouldn't fall off. Percy ran off the sidewalk and onto the road, but at this time there were no cars on the streets, just a few kids walking home from school. Percy then stopped suddenly and turned towards an entry to the forest. I could smell the fresh pine and newly bloomed flowers. The trees were turning beautiful colors of red, yellow and orange. Small little animals scurried across the path we were running on.

Percy stopped, causing me to fall forward. Percy caught me as I fell, flipped me over and dropped me on the ground next to a giant maple tree. He fell down next to me.

"Percy, where are we?" I asked, laughing.

"We're in central park. A little further out that usual, but this spot has quiet the history."

Percy then picked me up, still laying on his back, he balanced me on his feet. I caught on and extended my arms like an airplane. Percy swung his legs back and forth, holding onto my hands so I wouldn't fall.

"Hey, wanna go on the swingset?"

"Oh, yeah!" I agreed.

Percy took my hand and led me to a small playground. It was an average playground, with a classic blue swirly slide connected to a bridge that led to the monkey bars. There were two titter toughters in the corner next to a cow shaped rocking toy. There was a sandbox in the other corner with a dozen toys. On the left side were the swings. I noticed that there weren't many people here. Percy noticed too.

"People usually prefer the larger playground in the north side of the park." Percy sighed. "But this is the one Mom took me to when I was little."

I jumped on the swings and kicked off. Percy got behind me and pushed me. I went higher and higher and higher till it felt like I could touch the sky. Percy was really strong so he was able to get me really high in just a few minutes. After he got me as high as the swing can go, he told me to keep pumping my legs and got on the swing next to me.

After we finished swinging, percy and I got into a game of tag. As I mentioned before, Percy was fast, but I think he slowed down a little for my sake. A few of the other kids joined in our game. Eventually, their mothers told them it was time to go home, and me and Percy were so tired we collapsed right on the ground.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a creepy looking guy in a long black trenchcoat starring at us. I had seen him watching us during the game, but payed no mind to it. Now that he was still watching, I kinda creeped me out.

"Hey Percy" I asked. "Do you know that guy?"

Percy looked at me. "What guy?"

I sat up and pointed. "Him. He's been starring at us for the last 10 minutes."

Percy sat up and glared in the direction I was looking. He put his arm around me protectively while standing up. I looked up at him questionly.

"Um, Percy?"

"Mirra" he said sternly, a bit of panic leaking from his voice. "Go down that path by the sandbox. It should lead you to the main part of the park. Once there, you should be able to see the apartment. Tell mom I'll be late coming home."

"But why?" I asked.

"Just go!" He snapped.

My eyes widened. I never knew Percy could yell like that. It scared me. I looked in his eyes. I could've just been a trick of the light, but it looked like those green orbs were swirling with a dark, Icey blue.

I took off running the way he told me. Tears had gathered in my eyes and they flew out as I ran.

OoOoOoOo

I was midnight. There was no way I could sleep. I was to worried about the fact that Percy hadn't come home yet. I had tried to sleep, but was just woken up by a nightmare. It was of Percy and me walking down a dark path in the woods, then Percy suddenly disappeared and I was all alone in the darkness.I was horrible. I needed my big brother.

I heard my door open. I wasn't supposed to be awake, so I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

I felt warm lips press to my forehead. I spelt the scent of the sea. It was Percy. He didn't know I wasn't asleep. His thumb brushed against my cheek softly. His finguredfingered felt rough, like he had been griping a baseball bat.

I opened my eyes just the slightest to see his face. In the dim light, I couldn't see very well, but it looked like we had a cut of his upper chin. His eyes showed the slightest bit of sadness as he looked over me.

He sighed. "If only she knew...But that would only put her in even more danger."

Contest: in this chapter, I mentioned something having to do with a scene from The Last Olympian.

Hint: the scene happens during the war and it has something to do with a titan.

Whoever guesses it right gets a shout out in the next chapter. You have until the next chapter is posted, sometimes tomorrow.
