ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ MELPOMENES POV╰┈➤ Dodgeball was hell. Matt Sloan was captain. And he chose Percy Jackson as the other captain. That led to the class being split between the jocks and popular kids, and the losers who got picked on and the troubled kids. Sadly Melpomene Bays was on the troubled kids side because she would rather be dead, than be on Matt Sloan's side in dodgeball. The visitors, who probably knew who were the social outcasts and who were popular, also chose Sloan's side.
Although the visitors looked strange, Matt Sloan didn't seem to notice because he accepted them into his group with open arms. Soon it began, Matt spilled the cage full of balls into the middle of the gym and Tyson, a big kid who often got picked on by Matt Sloan, started muttering something. "Scared—" and "—Smells funny," were the only words she could catch from where she was standing and she was barely a person away.
Percy Jackson stood between them and he looked at Tyson to his right, "What smells funny?" Percy asked.
Tyson pointed at the visitors, "Them. Smell funny," Melpomene grinned, the visitors smelled so bad that Tyson could smell it from across the gym. But when she turned to look at the visitors to see their reaction, something was wrong, their faces looked morphed, the sight kept flickering from a human face to a monstrous looking thing. But when Melpomene blinked again, they were back to normal.
An illusion of the mind, she assured to herself.
Matt blew the coach's whistle and the game finally began, the whole team of jocks ran for the balls and while her team scattered. Some ran out to the bathroom but most just cowered to not look like targets. Melpomene dodged some of the balls, the visitors were aiming at her, the balls were going fast, too fast to be considered normal, and soon a loud slam came from the side of her. Percy had been hit and Matt's team began to laugh. When she turned to look at him, he seemed pretty disoriented.
"Percy, duck!" Someone yelled.
Another dodgeball was thrown so fast by Percy, missing him by the ear and hit the wall mat loudly. "Hey!" Percy yelled at Sloan's team. "You could kill somebody!" One of the visitors grinned inhumanly. He was growing, Melpomene blinked hoping to whatever gods that she's just imagining it. Maybe it was a dream.
