A Demigod Tale

Chapter 1: Too Much Macaroni

Jordan sighed and looked up at the sky. He was at the park with his siblings, enjoying a nice day. He was laying down on a picnic blanket, Ceirra was doodling while sitting on an old tree stump, Bethany was trying to feed the birds, and Isaac was playing with a Rubix Cube.

"Why aren't any birds coming over?" Bethany said, frustrated. Jordan snickered.

"They don't care, they're birds! Plus, in case you haven't noticed, you're trying to feed them spaghetti," Cierra said. Bethany glared at her.

"It's all I've got!"

"Why do you even have spaghetti with you?" Isaac asked.

"I found it on the car. I think it's leftovers from a couple nights ago."

"Ew!" the three not holding old spaghetti cried.

Just then a couple ran past them. The guy had black hair and green eyes, while the girl had blond hair and gray eyes. For some reason, the guy was holding a pen.

Jordan wondered what they were running from. He looked over in the direction they had come from and did a double take. He rubbed his eyes, hoping they were playing tricks on him. They weren't.

Running towards the Frye's were two hideous creatures of nightmares. Jordan couldn't quite make out exactly what they looked like, but they appeared to be vampires with fire for hair.

"Percy Jackson! Quit running and face us!" one of them said.

"Are you afraid? I thought you were one of the bravest heroes of your time!" screeched the other.

"I'm on vacation! Go away!" the guy with the black hair, apparently named Percy, shouted. He stopped running and turned around. He uncapped his pen, causing it to become a three-foot long bronze sword. Jordan stared, open-mouthed.

The girl with the blond hair glared at the monsters, annoyed. "We're on a trip for our anniversary! I'll teach you to ruin my vacation, " she said. She took out a knife and ran at the creatures, Percy close behind.

Jordan heard his siblings shout in fright, but was too focused on the fight taking place to fully comprehend it. He watched as the couple slashed at the monsters, who disintegrated on contact with the bronze weapons.

Out of nowhere, a third monster appeared. However, instead of attacking the couple, it began charging at Jordan. His siblings screamed and Cierra pulled him out of the way. The monster was quick though, and still managed to grab Jordan's arm.

"What have we here? Another demigod? I wonder why I didn't smell you before," it hissed in his ear.

"Leave him alone!" Percy shouted. He looked at the blond girl. "Do you want to take this one, Annabeth?"

"Gladly," the girl now identified as Annabeth said. She ran forward and stuck her knife in the monster's shoulder, accidentally scratching Jordan slightly in the process. The monster screamed, then disappeared in a poof of gold dust. Jordan coughed and stumbled backwards, holding his cut.

His siblings stared at the couple, Annabeth and Percy. "What in the world just happened? Why did vampire things attack us?" Bethany asked. The couple looked surprised.

"Is that what you all saw?" Percy questioned. All four Fryes nodded yes.

"One half-blood and three mortals who can see through the Mist. This is unexpected." Annabeth muttered.

"Um, what are you talking about about?" Jordan asked, extremely confused. He was still covering his cut, which had begun to bleed slightly. He felt a prick in the back of his mind, but ignored it.

Percy and Annabeth looked at each other. "You may want to sit down. What we're about to say will blow your mind."
