The Power of a Potion ( A Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus Fanfic)

Chapter 2

A year later.

(The Did YoU read iT YeT??? group chat)

Christine: Well, DID YOU?

Samantha: Chris, I got that book yesterday!

Christine: Good point.

Elise: Now, we ,ust return to our usual arguement. It MUST be settled. So you think that you are in more fandoms than I am?

Christine: This sounds like a game show.

Samantha: Duh, Elise. You would be in more but noo, you wouldn't buy those books because they were movie books.

Elise: I don't read movie books. It feels fake.

Samantha: And that is the reason I'm in 15 fandoms and you're in 12.

Elise: I'm in 16!

Christine: Ladies please. We all know I dominate at this because I'm in 22 fandoms.

I facepalmed. We were starting our sophomore year in two days and I don't think any of us were  ready for it. At least I had these two nerds: my best friends. Elise, Christine, and I were inseparable.

Christine had light brown eyes and shoulder length brown hair with blond tips. She was relatively short but compensated with her huge personality. Elise, however, was much taller and had strawberry blond hair which she always kept in braids or in a ponytail and the prettiest green eyes. They both had fair skin, Christine's was a tiny bit darker. I had caramel skin and long dark brown hair usually kept in a bun. My eyes were light hazel with a little green surrounding my pupil.

Samantha: Do you guys realize we are starting school in 46.2 hours?

Elise: We should get together!

Samantha: And what are we going to do?

Christine: You guys literally live down in the next neighborhood and we've already done everything.

Elise: I meant something like sitting down together putting music and seeing who can read and finish the Mark of Athena first!

Christine: That's hardcore.

We ended up doing just that at Christine's. Elise finished first, then Christine, then me.

I went home after that. It was Sunday which was the only day my parents have off. Every other day, my mom worked from 7am to 5pm. My dad usually worked a little later.

After saying hi to my parents who were playing monopoly together (it's a thing for them. My mom is on a 12 game winning streak), I went inside my room.

My bookshelf was nailed to the wall above my white desk. There was another one in the closet though. On my bookshelf were all my favorite books of all time and the little bottle from Aunt Beth. I placed my copy of the Mark of Athena opened to my favorite page. When Annabeth judo flipped Percy.

My Chihuahua, Chico, barged into the room barking his head off. He was running really fast and couldn't stop himself before he made contact with the wall next to my desk.

The 4 inch bottle swayed on its place in the bookshelf and fell down. I guess it was really delicate because it fell on The Mark of Athena and gained a few cracks which were big enough that a small amount of liquid seeped through and wet a small part of the page.

Chico stared at me whimpering but I couldn't stay mad. Tears welled up in my eyes as I poured the remaining liquid into a tiny Tupperware because that was the only thing I had left of my Aunt Beth.

I went to sleep that night thinking of her.

Omniscient POV

In the middle of the night, a grotesque dracanae slithered out of an open book. Once it had fully come out, it stood to full height. The green scaled creature with the emerald upper body of a woman and the lower part of a snake crawled out of a bedroom though an open window. Dozens of its sisters squeezed out and followed.

A wide variety of monsters crawled out of the book, following the one before it. A sphinx also leaped out of the book but stood by the window as if waiting for something.

When no more monsters came, a man flew out of the book. He was more air than flesh.

"Master Ouranus," The sphinx bowed.

Ouranus nodded and said, "We must find a camp ground. We can't afford to lose any time if I am to become ruler of this world."

"Yes, Master."
