Dedicated to WingsofSong for being a fabulous friend and evil twin. Still, you shouldn't have signed your name as 'Fabulous Pegacorn'. Thanks for being crazy with me, Italia.
"You need to officially hire someone to wake you up every morning. I swear, you never manage to wake up on time. You need to stop being late almost every day, or you'll get suspended, Sheepy!" Kenna hissed.
It was lunchtime at The New York Academy for the Gifted. Being late yet again, Kristie only managed to attend an hour of classes before managing to find Kenna at lunch. Both of them had been friends since young (having lived in the same neighbourhood) and are as close as sisters, but being late always got on the nerves of Kenna, the I-cannot-be-late-ever-I-need-to-be-one-hour-early-to-everything-or-else half of the two, while Kristie is more of the meh-everything-is-cool-okay-can-I-go-now person.
"Kenna, that new nickname. Please. No." Kristie said, internally groaning at 'Sheepy'.
"Pleeeaaassse? It suits you! Born in the year of the Sheep*, as well as always being sleepy!"
"I am NOT always sleepy, Kenna!"
Kenna just stuck out her lip, making a very convincing duck impression that always made Kristie laugh and give in, depending on the situation. As for the 'giving in' part, her duck impression was as good as puppy-dog-eyes.
"Ugh. Okay, okay, fine." Kristie relented, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Yay! Thanks, Sheepy!" Kenna hugged her best friend.
Kristie just sighed, looking out of the nearby window. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a green, scaly tail. She stood up quickly and moved loser, hoping to get a better look. At the sight, she gasped, horrified. What IS that? Why is that...thing there? Is this even real? I must be hallucinating. Please tell me that I'm hallucinating...
She had seen an entirely green-skinned woman clad in battle armour, but can you call it a woman when she had snake trunks for legs? The reptilian woman wore an iron chest plate, as well as a helmet, in which two glowing green eyes stared out of. She held a heavy net in her right hand and sharp spear in her left.
"K-k-k-kenna? C-can you come o-over for a-a sec?" Kristie's voice shook as she gestured for her friend to join her, mesmerized by the glowing eyes, unable to move.
"What is wrong- ohmygoshwhatisthat?!" Kenna yelled in Kristie's ear, just soft enough for her to hear.
"I don't know. I'm heading outside." "Okay, I'll come with you." Kenna whispered back, before following Kristie outside with no idea why.
*Outside*
"W-what are you?" Kenna boldly said.
"I ssssssee. You have yet to know what you both are. I shall bring you to my masssssster. That isssss my order." The snake woman hissed.
"Not while I'm here!" A boy's voice shouted. Suddenly, the tip of a bronze sword appeared in the woman, right where her heart is supposed to be.
"You ssssshall not..." Were the snake woman's last words before she disintegrated into golden dust. The boy shook his head as he became visible after the snake woman disappeared. "You guys okay?" He asked, still gripping a one-and-a-half metre long bronze sword. After realising that Kenna was in shock, Kristie glanced down at the sword before meeting the sea-green eyes of the teenager before her. "Yes. Though, what was that?" The boy, seeing her wandering eyes, sheepishly put something on the tip of the sword-was that a pen cap?- before the sword shrank into a pen that the boy pocketed.
"It was a Scythian Dracaena. A Greek monster." He said. Kenna, seemingly gotten her senses back, stammered," W-wait. A G-g-greek m-monster? They don't-"
"Exist? None of us are supposed to exist. I am a demigod, and you both are too. I was sent to take you guys back to my camp for demigods, Camp Half-Blood. By the way, my name is Percy Jackson. Nice to meet you." Percy grinned, sticking out his hand, which both of them shook.
"Woah woah woah. Demigods? Like, half god?" Kristie asked, stunned.
"Yeah, half Greek god. Well, time is ticking, I have to take you guys back now." Percy replied.
He then gave a taxi-cab whistle and three pegasi flew out of the sky. A black one, a peanut-butter one and a white one. The black pegasus whinnied.
"Yo boss. Ready to go back?"
Percy said,"Yeah." at the same time that Kristie said, "WHAT was that? A voice just spoke into my head!"
"You can understand Blackjack?" Percy said, looking nonplussed. "Boss, that girl can understand me? Seriously? Is she an enemy? I can..."
"Slow it Blackjack." Percy interrupted. "She is a friend, and so is the other girl. Manila, Flapjack, can you carry one of them each?"
"Yeah" "Oh yeah, sure. First time I saw such a light load though."
"Hop on." Percy lifted each girl onto the pegasi before climbing up Blackjack and said, "And yes, whatever-your-name-is-as-the-ony-info-I-got-was-that-I-was-supposed-to-pick-up-two-demigod-girls, that voice in your head was Blackjack, and I assume you heard the others too. You can speak to horses, I guess. I will also explain everything about camp and demigods once we reach camp. If you must ask, your parents already know about this."
"My name in Kristie Seraphina Pryor, for your information."
"I'm Kenna Zhang."
Percy's eyes widened at Kenna's last name but quickly turned forward and said," Onward to Camp Half-Blood!" The pegasi neighed in harmony and flew away across to Long Island, while Kristie's eyes that flashed constantly between sky blue, sea-green, bright purple and black wandered.
