PJO fanfic: Destiny Masdellan and Friends (using my own characters)

Dude In The Bushes (perhaps not by coincidence?)

This is a PJO fanfic. I came up with this story completely on my own, along with the characters.  I will use some of the places and people  mentioned in the books, but obviously they were not created by me. This is my first story so I'm sorry if I change tense, and whatever other mistakes there are to make out there.

Enjoy! :)

Chapter 1:  The Dude InThe Bushes

Hey get up!  Time for school!

It's the second week of school and I'm already sleeping in late...  Its my second year at McKinney High School. Actually, the fact that its my second year is very surprising, normally something weird happens and I screw something up, and whatever happens normally gets me expelled.

Mom has left the room. I turn my head and look out the window my mom had already opened. My vision is still a little blurry, but I swear i saw a one-eyed creature staring at me. I bolt upwards but whatever it was is gone. I rush to the window, nothing.

Honey?  Are you ok?  Mom comes in looking confused, she must of heard my sudden movement and thought something was wrong. She's been extra jumpy lately for some reason..

I'm fine, Mom. Just thought I saw something.

Ok.  She says, eyeing the window and me with a suspicious look,I'll be downstairs if you need me.

I finish getting ready for school, and head out. I never ride the bus. Maybe due to my lack of friends?  Or maybe just because I find walking in the morning more peaceful.

I'm about halfway there when someone pulls me through the tall, tightly packed bushes lined along the sidewalk. At least its just a boy about my age wearing a beanie and holding himself up with crutches.  Nothing threatening.  But dont go asking me how someone with crutches could pull me through bushes like that without falling over. He looks kinda breathless, like he's been on the move for hours. And his eyes look slightly crazy.

Hi   He says between breaths.

Hello?  I'm assuming you need something?  You didn't drag me through the bushes for nothing.

Well, uhh... He hesitates, rubbing the back of his neck.

Look, I cant stand around and chat, I need to get to school. My grades haven't been the best lately and I have a huge Algebra test first period.

Sorry to break it to you, but you are in danger!  You can't go to school! Ive already talked to your mom--

I roll my eyes.   I don't have time--  How did you talk to--  Wha...

The one-eyed creature emerged from out of the small house sitting in the center of the field me and this boy are are also standing in. Its staring directly at me.
