Social studies was as boring as it always was.

At least I had Safi and Annabeth to help me not fall asleep. I thought, walking alone to arts since Safi and Annabeth have Architecture together. Lucky.

As I turned the corner, I see Mrs. Dodds waiting for me by the door to arts class.

"Why, hello Heather." She says. Her voice so gravely that I can barely understand her.

"Um, hi Mrs. Dodds." I say and try to squeeze past her. But as I do she grabs my arm with such force that I yelp.

"See me after advanced math class, I want to...talk to you." Her eyes glinting as she says this. I pull away feeling an urge to run. But I stand my ground and nod. She turns away and walks back down the hall.

She is a definite 10 on the creepy scale. I shiver and sit down at my seat. Ready for the one class I actually like.

(Time Skip: After Arts)

I see Annabeth and Safi walking down the hall and wave to them to wait. They do, but as I start walking towards them someone bumps into me causing me to stumble and lose all my books.

"Watch where you're going Smether!"

I look up and see Cassidy.

I open my mouth to say something when suddenly Annabeth is right beside me. Her face shows that she is MAD. "Ok Cassidy, was that really called for? The only reason you hate Heather so much is because you WISH you were as smart as she is, as nice as she is! So unless you just discovered a cure for cancer, I suggest you Stop. Or I swear to all the gods we will have issues."

I stare at Annabeth in shock. And apparently Cassidy wasn't ready for that either because her face looks like someone just shoved a lemon down her throat. The whole hall was silent as Annabeth helps pick up my books, turns and says, "Let's go Heather. Cassidy's not worth your time."

I glance back and see Cassidy striding towards us. "Annabeth look out!" I yell. But Cassidy has already grabbed Annabeth's arm, swings her around to face her and pulls back her hand to slap Annabeth. But before she can even get her hand close, Annabeth's hand shoots out and grabs Cassidy's wrist. And Annabeth twists her arm so that she's holding Cassidy's hand between her shoulder blades. "I wouldn't if I were you." Annabeth hisses between gritted teeth. Then she pushes Cassidy away and grabs my wrist. "Come on." She says "We're gonna be late for Math."

When we get into a less crowded hallway I turn and say, "Whoa..WHAT was that?!"

Annabeth has a really strange look on her face and turns away. Just then Safi comes bolting down the hallway. "What the crap you guys?! You can't just leave me there!" Her face red as she stops in front of us and puts her hands on her hips, glaring. "I'm sorry Saf." I say wondering what the heck just happened. "I didn't have much of a choice." I turn to Annabeth who's staring at the ground. "First of all," I start. " That. Was. So. AWESOME!" I half yell and jump up and down. Annabeth stares at me like I'm crazy. "Y-you're not scared or-"

"Scared?" I say in disbelief. "Why in heck would I be scared?! That was totally amazing!" Annabeth turns to Safi who's cooled down and Safi nods her head. "Very awesome." She says. "But, we have to get to class." I could tell something was off about Safi... Hmm. I'll ask her later.

We get to math just before the bell and get welcomed by a terrifying glare from Mrs. Dodds. "Take a seat ladies." She spits out the last word like its venom. I hear a small gasp from Annabeth. Her face is pale and she has her hand on her hip like she's grabbing for something that isn't there. "Come on." I whisper to her. "There's some seats left in the back." Annabeth doesn't take her eyes off of Mrs. Dodds. She just nods. Safi has to steer Annabeth to an empty seat. Just when I think we're good, Mrs. Dodds frowns and says (more like growls), "Since you're new here, Annabeth Chase, come to the front and introduce yourself."

"I think you just did." Safi whispers.

"Ok." Annabeth says and gets up to the front of the class. "Hi. I'm Annabeth Chase." She says and then without making eye contact with anyone, just looking straight ahead, and sits back down.

(Time Skip: End of Math)

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." I say "Mrs. Dodds wants to see me." Safi gives me a sympathetic look and says with a shudder, "I hope you don't eat eaten! She is seriously creepy with a capital C." Annabeth looks at me worriedly. "I'll be okay Annabeth. She's just a teacher." I hear Annabeth mutter something under her breath. "I'll wait till your done." She says. "I can call someone to pick me up later."

"Really it's okay. You don't have to stay." I feel kinda bad. Does she think I can't handle myself?

Annabeth looks at me with a look so intense that I nearly start in surprise. "No I really do."

"Well I'll see you two tomorrow." Safi says as she walks down the hall.

"Bye!" Annabeth and I yell back.

I let out a sigh. "Time to face the monster." I say jokingly. But Annabeths face is anything but jokey. "I'll be out here." She says scanning the hall. Why is she so tense? I think. Maybe she's just looking out for Cassidy.

As I head into the room I see Mrs. Dodds by the window. "I'm here, what do we need to talk about?" I say. Nervously shifting my backpack from shoulder to shoulder.

Mrs. Dodds doesn't even look at me but just says, "Shut the door behind you, this is a...private matter." I look at her weirdly but do as she says.

She finally turns and looks at me, but her face seems a little uglier then usual.

"You are very...unique, Heather" I feel a pulse of anger. She must be talking about my ADHD. "Just because I have ADHD doesn't mean I'm different." I say quietly. She just shakes her head and says, "Pity your father choose to send you to this school. Any other school would have been safe." I stare at her thinking she's finally lost it. "W-what are you Talking about?" I say. Mrs. Dodds takes a few steps towards me. "You, child, have been hidden well. But you can't hide forever." I take a backwards step towards the door. Mrs. Dodds smiles and I swear I see pointed teeth. "Your time has come, godling!" She yells and suddenly springs at me. I scream and dodge to the side. Mrs. Dodds slams into the door. Suddenly I hear Annabeth yell, "Heather!" And I see her slamming her shoulder into the door trying to get in. It must be locked . And is that a knife she's holding?

I barely have time to think as Mrs. Dodds turns and screams "You're mine!" And suddenly she's not Mrs. Dodds anymore. She's some type of creature from a horror movie. She leaps at me again and I whip my backpack off my shoulders and slam it right in Mrs. Dodds face. She screeches and falls backward. I hear the door bang open and Annabeth is suddenly beside me snapping me out of a trance and yells "RUN!"

You don't have to tell me twice!

We sprint down the hall and out the side doors where I see a blue van. "Come on!" Annabeth yells pulling me towards the van. "She won't stay down forever!" I see a guy leaning up against the van. He gets up when he sees us running toward him. "Monster!" Annabeth yells. And as if she flipped a switch the guy is instantly in the van starting it up. The side door opens and Annabeth half pulls, half drags me inside and slams the door shut.

"Drive! Drive!" Annabeth yells. Still clutching my wrist. The guy slams on the gas and we are flying out of the parking lot.

"W-wha-how-did that just-huh?" I stutter. Too shocked to make a full sentence. My mind is on overdrive. WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?! Basically summed up my thoughts. "It's okay." Annabeth says glancing behind us. The school already out of sight. "I don't think she's following us." I hear Annabeth talking to the driver, but her voice sounds distant. Like she's under water. I get myself together enough to yell, " WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

I hear the guy driving laugh. "You're taking this better then some people. Not many people can take on a fur- kindly one with just a backpack."

Annabeth punches him in the shoulder. "Not helping Seaweed Brain!" She hisses. I realize she must have told him what happened.

"What's a kindly one? What was that- that thing? Who are yo-" I say until Annabeth interrupts me.

"Did you do a Greek mythology unit in Lit?" She asks. I think this is a pretty random question but I manage to answer without my voice cracking. "Yes."

"Well, all that stuff about gods and monsters is real. And you're a demigod."

"Half mortal half god." I say. Still in a daze.

"Yes." Annabeth says. Letting out a breath and leaning against a seat.

I look around the van and glance outside. The surroundings look familiar...

"I need to go home!" I screech. Scaring Annabeth and the guy. "Who even the heck are you?!" I say to the driver.

"I'm Percy Jackson."

"My boyfriend." Annabeth says quickly giving me a look that says that he is hers.

"This is crazy." I say. "This is all just a huge prank isn't it?" It has to be.

Percy laughs and says "That would be nice, thinking of this as a prank."

"Annabeth. I need to go home." I say, pleading with her.

"I don't think-"

"Come on Wise Girl!" Percy says with a smile. "Let her stop by and grab her stuff. We'll be in and out in a flash. No harm done!"

Annabeth huffs but agrees.

When we pull into my driveway, before Percy even fully stops I'm out of the van and running inside. I fling open the door to see my Dad packing a backpack.

"Heather! Are you okay?" He immediately stops packing an gives me a hug.

"Yeah, I'm fine but-"

"I know. They contacted me. You need to leave and go somewhere safe." I stand their shocked.

"Wait. What." I stamper. "Y-you knew about this?! This is real?"

"Yes H. And even though I wish it wasn't. You have to leave and go to camp. That's the only place you'll be safe."

"Safe? Safe from what? Camp? Dad what's going on?" I say rapidly.

"They will explain everything, but right now you need to leave. Grab what I forgot and meet me outside."

He turns and jogs out the door. Leaving me to wonder what else my dad has kept from me.

I have a question for you guys, more like a vote: Should I make Safi a demigod as well? Or not?

So there's chapter 3! I know that wasn't my best work. I felt like Percy was a bit off. Please review and I'm always open for suggestions! - Wild-at-Heart14
