December 5th

Mirra's P.o.v

Recess is probably the favourite part of every 2nd graders day. Exept in the winter that is.

Freezing cold wind blew threw the streets, pushing back the empty swings. No one wanted cold wind hitting there face, so the usual lively swingsets were deserted, along with pretty much everything else. Most of the kids were huttled together under the rock climbing wall or begging the teacher to go inside early.

I was currently sitting underneath the slide, hugging my shoulders and cuddling close to my blue tie-dye winter coat. Underneath was my Pikachu hoodie and two sets of clothes. Atop my head was a rainbow unicorn hat that covers my ears and around my neck was my rainbow dash scarf (which Iris gave to me to complete my rainbow dash Halloween costume).

All of that still did very little to protect me from the cold.

I still remember when we left the apartment. I had wattled out of my room like a penguin with so much clothing I could barely move. When I got downstairs, daddy was in a huge trench coat with a jacket underneath and a scarf covering most of his face. Mommy was wearing a simpler outfit, only her coat was red. Then there was Percy, wearing an unzipped leather jacket and a thin grey T-shirt.

I had blinked a few times, then asked why be was wearing so little. He had just smiled at me a d replied "it's a demigod thing".

A blew in my gloved hands, causing a white fog to escape my mouth. I looked around the playground, bored by just sitting here. All I saw was Emma ( who had returned from Camp Half Blood the night before after scaring the juice out of me with an Iris message) wandering around looking as bored as the rest of us.

I turned my head over to the entrance to the Highschool, where I saw something weird.

Two boys, probably 16, were standing by in entrance chatting away about something. This isn't unusual, a lot of high schoolers try to sneak out though the entrance. What was weird was they were only wearing grey jackets under blue and silver sweaters. They looked alike, like they were brothers. They each had brown hair and blue eyes, upturned faces with a strong jawline, and a little glint in there eyes that screamed mischief.

Curious, I got up from my spot under the slide to see who they were.

They didn't notice me at first. They seemed to be discussing something, though the only word I could make out was "Prank".

I realized they probably weren't going to notice me anytime soon, so I decided to make myself known.

"Hi!" I said happily, causing both of them to jump and get into a fighting pose. I noticed they were each hold bronze swords.

They looked at each other for a second. I herd one, the taller of the two, whisper something to the other.

"Do you think she's a monster?"

The other one looked back to me then to his brother. "No, to innocent. Maybe she's just a confused mortal."

These two were obviously demigods. I scrunched my nose up a bit at the term 'confused mortal'. Really, I didn't mind being called a mortal. It's what I am, so it's not like it offends me, but the way they said it sounded like an insult. So I decided to mess with them.

I pointed to there swords. "You know your not supposed to have weapons on school property."

There heads turned back to me, both with shocked looks on their faces. The corners of my mouth twitched up slightly. This was gonna be fun.

The shorter one turned to the taller. "Do you think she's a demigod?"

"I don't know?" The older one replied. "Does she look like anybody we know?"

"Call me crazy, but she kinda looks like Artemis."

"What, no way!" The shorter one looked to me then back at his brother. "She's totally Iris!"

"She has the freckles of a child of Eileithyia now that I think about it."

"But look at her. She's the splitting image of-"

"I'm a mortal!" I interrupted. "But I know about the gods because my big brothers a demigod. And you do realize that just because you turn to each other doesn't mean I can't hear you."

The two blinked a few times. I giggled at there shocked reactions.

"So, can I ask who you two are?"

The two suddenly got over there shocked states and huge Cheshire smiles grew on there faces.

"Connor and Travis Stoll, sons of Hermes, the God of thieves, masters of pranks!" They said in unison, giving a cheesy bow like they just gave a huge performance.

I smiled a bit. "Your dad's the God of thieves and your last name is Stoll?"

They looked at me with a confused looked, like they didn't get the joke. But smiles grew back immediately after.

"So, tell us," Travis said. "What's your name."

"Mirra Blofis Jackson, Little sister of Percy Jackson!" I mimicked there cheesy bow, causing my hat to fall off my head.

The two looked at each other for a second, then turned back to me with terrified looks of there faces.

"P-percy' s your brother?" Connor asked. I nodded. The shared yet another looked, then facepalmed.

"Crap!" They said in unison. "There goes our prank."

"Hm?" I asked, tilting my head a bit. "What do you mean?"

"We were going to play a prank on Percy." Connor said.

"It was perfectly planned to!" Travis continued. "We had the element of surprise on our side, something that's almost impossible to get when dealing with ol' Fish boy."

I smiled a bit, that soon grew into a full out laughing. The Stolls stared at me, but I was laughing to hard to notice. I wiped a tear from my eye, and looked back up at them.

"What makes you think I'm going to tell?"

The two blinked. "Really!"

"Sure! Percy' s always tickling me, so you two can get revenge for me."

They looked at each other then both scooped me up into there arms in a hug that could rival Tysons. I squeaked out something that sounded like 'help' but truthfully I don't know what I was trying to say.

"Thanks Merrie!" They squealed, then dropped me on the ground and ran towards the Highschool.

At that same moment, the teacher called us all ininside for the rest of recess.

OoOoOoOo

"Those Stolls are so dead next time I get my hands on them!" Percy cried as he barged in the living room and plopped down on the couch next to me."

"What do you mean Big brother?" I asked innocently as I looked up from the book I was reading.

"These two sons of Hermes snuck into the school and unleashed a bunch of mutant bugs they stole from Hephaestut. I don't even know how they got in the school without me noticing!"

"Did you see them?" I asked, picking up my cup of how cocoa.

"Well...no, but I know it's them!"

"Are you sure?" I asked, sipping my drink and licking whipped cream off my lip. "Because I saw two middle school students run across the playground while I was at recess. They were holding a box protectivly. Looked pretty suspicious to me."

Percy looked at me, then sighed and leaned back into the couch. "Hmm, that does sound pretty suspicious, and come think of it, that was about the same time as the attack." Percy looked over to me again and started eyeing my hot chocolate. "That looks good, I'm going to make me a cup." And with that, the conversation was forgotten.

Hey! Guess who's still alive. (Bianca?) Oh, I wish. Sorry I didon't update in a while. I was fighting in the war against evil titans set on taking control of Olympus and had to battle a giant serpent trying to swallow the sun...not falling for it, eh? (Audience: nope). Yeah, I figured you wouldn't. Even I'm not that awesome. Anyway, as you know, in a few daydays it's Valentine's day. You know what that means! Valentine's day special. So leave your request and I'll do my best to make it happen. (Ahaha, nerdy nummies quote)
