Percy Jackson: The New Hero

Cahpter 2

CHAPTER TWO:

Percy Jackson. Who? He must have seen the confused look on my face, because he smile and said," I'll explain on the way."

He said that already and I have no idea where exactly that is. We walked down the hallway and out the door. Outside, parked on the road was a blue car. I raised my eyebrow," Are you old enough?" What? Just being safe here.

"16 turning 17 at the end of summer. Yes, I can drive." He climbed into the front seat and gestured for us to climb in. I hesitated for a moment and climbed into the back, followed by Logan.

We drove in awkward silence for about a minute, when Logan finally broke the ice, "so... can u tell us what that... thing... was at the school?"

"It was a monster. I don't know what kind, I've never seen anything like it before."

"That cleared everything up" I said, my voice dipping with sarcasm.

He snickered, "Ok than. Have you guys ever heard any Greek myths. With the gods and monsters?" We nodded.

" Like, Poseidon, Athena... um Apollo."

"Exactly. Well they're all true!-" Than he went on and on about them and how mount Olympus moves with western civilization. Blah blah... well you get the idea.

"Wait- what does that have to do with us" Logan stepped in.

"Well, you two, are demigods. Half human and half god. One of your parents is mortal and the other one is a Greek god." Again, he went on and on about camp half-blood and how we would be claimed. And what we would do there and other stuff. It's hard to focus when you have ADHD and dyslexia.

"Any questions?" he asked.

"So, who's your godly parent?" I asked.

"Poseidon. I was claimed in the 6th grade." he paused,"so have you two always gone to school together?" his grin disappeared.

Logan and I looked at each other, "Um... ya. Is that... bad?" Logan answered.

"Well, demigods have this smell that attracts monsters. So usually they start attracting them when they are 11 or 12. First of all, you two are in grade 7. Right?" We nodded,"and if you toe were in the same school, you should have attracted monsters earlier and many more."

"Maybe we're lucky." I said in attempt to reassure myself. Percy snorted and mumbled something under his breath.

"What?" Logan asked.

"Huh. Oh, nothing." I got the feeling that he wasn't telling us something. But I decided not to push him.

There was an awkward silence that seemed to go on forever.

"So..." I finally said, "um... what were you doing at our school? You are way older and I've never seen you before."

"Well. It's complicated. So there was a sayter that used to go to your school. And he-" Logan cut him off.

"Wait. A Sayter? What's that?"

"Half goat half person. You'll see when we get to camp half-blood. Anyways do you remember David? Ya. He was your sayter. They're at every school looking for demigods."

David was a short kid with crutches who had a small beard growing. He always got picked at. I remember I had caught him following me and he was always looking around like he expected someone to jump out.

"Ya so what about him?" I asked.

"Well he had to go to camp half blood for something important. When he got there he told Chiron, our head director, that he sensed a lot of power. So Chiron iris messaged me and told me to come and see. And I found you guys."

"How much longer till we get there?" Logan asked.

"A while. So get comfortable." It was already almost 6:00 and it was starting to get dark.

"What about our parents? I need to call my mom."

"You can't. The-"

"What do you mean we can't!? I need to call! My mom will be worried!!"

"You can call when we get back to camp half blood. Phone give out a signal that attracts monsters! It's like putting up a flair and yelling here I am! Come and get me! When we get to camp, you can iris message them."

I slouched in my seat. My brain seemed to finally register what Percy had told us. We were demigods that are being hunted by monsters. The gods were real. I felt pale and apparently I looked pale too because Logan looked over and whispered," Hey, are you okey?"

I nodded,"Its just a lot to take in. I mean..." I left the sent sanche unfinished. He seemed to know exactly what I meant. We sat in silence after that.

I just sat there thinking about, well everything and nothing all at once. Than I felt a chill in my spine. I shivered. I had the nudging feeling that something bad was going to happen. I was just being paranoid. Right?
