Hi everyone! I hope you liked the 1st chapter! I'm going to try to update as often as I can! I'd love it if you could post reviews for my story! I'd also love to hear your ideas of what you think should happen! Who knows? Maybe I could include your ideas!
I woke up to see a pretty curly blond-haired girl staring at me. At first I assumed that she was one of the popular girls that didn't pay any attention to losers like me. That though disappeared when I saw her eyes. They were startling gray and very intelligent looking. I had never seen eyes like that.
I groaned as she helped me up. I looked around a realized that we were still in the classroom. I looked down at my wounded side and saw that it was bandaged. I sighed in relief.
Looking around I didn't see Ms. Keeps. Where did she go? I didn't know how to say that in English so I just asked, "Ms. Keeps?" They seemed to get the question and said something in English. The black-haired boy hit his forehead and said something to the blond-haired girl. I only recognized the word "French", but I assumed that he was telling her that I was French and that I didn't speak English. I just stared at them in confusion. He turned to me and simply said, "Empousa" I had heard of empousa, but that didn't make any sense empuosa are from Greek Mythology….
I dismissed the thought as the black-haired boy looked at me and then pointed to himself. "Percy Jackson," he said and then pointed to the blond haired-girl, "Annabeth Chase." I nodded. Those were their names. Think! Think! I silently said to myself, What English for 'my name is'? I remembered and said to them in English, "My name is Lilly Gasont." They both nodded.
What they discussed next I don't know. They had a whole conversation in English. I just sat there and stared at them in confusion. It sounded like they were arguing. By the time they agreed on something I was bored out of my mind. Sure, I was just attacked by an empousa and was hurting like crazy, but I was still bored.
Annabeth unsheathed what looked like an ivory sword, motioned toward a window that led outside and ran towards it. I thought she was crazy and was going to slam right into the window when she sliced right through it. Glass shattered everywhere. Annabeth seemed to be fine and she leapt right through it.
Percy motioned toward the window that led outside too. He helped me up and helped me out the window. I just then wondered where his sword went. Annabeth had a sheath, but Percy didn't. I did my best imitation of him cutting through an empousa. Percy looked confused at first then he nodded. He took out a pen. Then I remembered that the pen could turn into a sword. Before Percy could stop me I uncapped his pen and sure enough it turned into a sword. "That's cool!" I said but I wasn't sure that he understood me. The touched the cap to the tip of the sword and it turned back into a pen. He stuck it in his pocket.
We traveled all afternoon. I felt like my legs were going to fall off! Finally we went up a hill with a large pine tree and a sign reading, "Camp Half-Blood"
