Heroes Of Olympus Go To School.

Ch.12

Harper POV

Piper was actually not that bad?

I thought she hate me but after we talked for a little, I feel more comfortable talking about my childhood to Piper.

My childhood. . .i didn't really like talking about it much. I was always running around, finding something new everyday. My mom died when I was only six. So people kept thriving to take me to Foster homes. I didn't want to go so I kept running from them. I met other people on the way. Including my father. .

Flashback!

I was looking around some old apartment buildings. They looked burned from a long time ago. I found stuff people left there. So I never got bored.

I decided to walked down the ally next to it when earth opeden up in front of me.

At first I thought I did that! Then I realized there was a man standing before me. He wore black robes, his hair was black, and his eyes were like charcoal. Shadows were surrounding his feet.

"Um, hello?" I said softy.

He looked at down at me, "Hello, young one. I see your heading toward that building over there." He pointed to the dark brown, abandoned house. The one I lived at.

"Yeah. . ."

"Well maybe you should come with me." He started walking the other direction.

Ok, I may have been only 8 years old, but I'm smart enough to know not to follow strangers in creepy allys.

"Why should I follow you!" I yelled. "Your probably going to take me away to some foster home and I have to live my life with people telling me what to do."

The man didn't look surprised from my sudden outburst. He only turned around and look at me again.

"I want to take you somewhere safe. A place for kids like you." He said.

"Why do you care?" I asked.

"Cause your my child."

My jaw dropped.
This man was my father? How? I didn't want to believe him but  something kept telling me it was true.

"Wait. . .how. . .what? Your my d-dad?"

He nodded. "You must come with me."

I backed up and shook my head, "I'm not going anywhere, even if your my father. You left me!"

The man looked sad. I couldn't tell why though.

"Alright." He said, "I cannot force you to come, but I can help you on your way."

With that he pulled out a necklace, it had a small, silver skull on it. He handed it to me.

"Keep this close. It is a strong sword that can kill any monster you come across. Protect yourself and thoughs around you."

I looked at the necklace. It didn't look like a sword to me. I put the little skull in my hand and consintrated on it. Instantly the necklace turned into a black, silver sword. The hilt was silver with tiny emeralds in it.

"Woah." I said.

"Remember, one day you will meet your siblings, they will help you. You'll find peace with the ones you will call friends."

I was confused. "You mean Grayson? My older brother who left before my mom past?"

"Grayson is not my son, but no, not him Harper."

"Good." I said.

I didn't like my older brother. He was born when my mom dated some other guy before I was born. Gray was always mean to me. He would lock me in my room, and tell mom I ran away. When I get out and see her again. Gray would pretend he did nothing.

"I must be off." The man said, "We will meet again, someday." And just like that he disappeared into the allys shadows. Without another word.

I looked at the sword and thought about it turning back to a necklace. It did and I put it around my neck and continued to the house. Never forgetting about my meeting with my father.

End of flashback!

I thought about that for a moment and then I kept walking down the hallway for my last class of the day.

After school!

I walked out of class to go meet up with Hazel. I found her sitting outside of a classroom. So I walked up to her.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey." I replied.

I looked into the classroom she was waiting at and saw Nico, and Frank sitting in their waving at us.

"Uh, why is our brother and your boyfriend in there?"

She laughed "Detention."

I nodded. "What did they do?"

"Frank punched someone because they were insulting me when I wasn't even there. And Nico was just there insulting the other guy Frank punched." She said in one breath.

"Oh." I laughed.

She looked surprised.

"I see your smiling a lot now." She said.

"Yeah, well I guess I feel a little better now, like a lot of weight was lifted off my shoulders."

"You must have been talking to Piper then." She let out a small laugh.

We sat there in silent for a little. Till I said something.

"You gonna stay here till they get out?" I asked Hazel.

"Well, I may just go to the art class down the hall and draw for a little." She replied.

"Ok, I'll just go walk back home or walk around the football field."

We waved each other goodbye and I headed to the football field. As I was walking down the hall for the exit I heard other peoples voices. Everyone should be outside or home cause it was ten minutes after school already. The voices were getting weaker so I followed they outside the football field. The voices were coming from a couple of football jocks. They went and sat down on the blechers so I went to sit down close to them so I could hear what there saying.

"--Yeah that stupid guy won't leave her side." I heard them say.

"Well how are you gonna get to her?"

"I think she's alone right now cause her boyfriend is at practice."

"Well then we could bring her under the bleachers and you can take her to your house or something?"

"Dude your stupid! I'm not kidnapping someone!"

"Sorry."

"I could sneek up on her and kiss her while she's alone and then she will understand how I can be a better boyfriend for her."

"Sounds good."

This is stupid I thought. I was about to walk away when I heard them say something that got my attention.

"What's her name?"

"Her name is Annabeth."

I gasped. Which was my mistake.

"Hey I think that girl is listening to us." One of them whispered.

Shit!

I stood up and walked off the bleachers towards the building. I heard the jocks get up and follow me.

"Hey! You get over here!" They yelled and started running after me.

I ran toward a tree outside and stepped into a shadow and thought about going inside the building. Then I was there. I wasn't even tried. Usually shadow traveling doesn't drain me. Then I started running towards the pool, where the swim team practice.

Where Annabeth will be waiting.
