THE FORBIDDEN CHILD (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

CHAPTER ONE

I was sitting in the balcony I had in my room. It was near midnight and there was full moon, I always loved how the moon made everything seem smaller. I always felt better at the light of the moon. In the sun I felt kind of pissed, as if the sun was annoying or something like that.

‘Bip’

The alarm clock marked twelve o’clock. I looked at the moon once more before I returned to my bed. I closed the door window but let the curtains open so the moon light could enter my room. I got the violet comforter to cover me and I closed my eyes.

‘Happy Birthday Sophie’

I thought before I fell into a deep sleep.

My dreams took me into the woods once again; since winter solstice, which was ten days ago, I have come to the same spot in the woods in my sleep. It was a little clear in the woods, it was late at night and the full moon shined just above me. There were a lot of paths around the clear, I have used four of them already, but I couldn’t tell which ones; to know which ones I have used, I looked up to the sky and there she was, the girl in the stars pointed with her bow to my right, to the first path I’ve used.

I looked at the tree paths next to the first one, they were the same as they have been nights before, to the right of the one I used yesterday, there was a path that was different from the others, it had some flowers at the beginning of it, and the flowers had a silver color and irradiated some silver light. I walked towards them.

‘Moonlace’

I don’t know how I knew the name of that beautiful flower; maybe I saw it on Biology or in some book. I took one of the silver flowers and kept it with me. I entered the path and did the usual, I ran. As I ran I could hear the wolves howling. I wasn’t scared anymore, I’ve learned to trust the wolves, whenever I lost the path, they would howl stronger to guide me. Then, I saw it, the deer running ahead me, I went faster; it never let me touch it, whenever I was close to touch it, it would disappear in a silver light and I would wake up. I was about to touch it once again.

‘Don’t wake up’

I was determined not to wake up this time. The deer exploded in silver light. The silver light transformed into silver smoke and it made up the silhouette of a girl between fifteen and seventeen.

“Sophia Hope” the silhouette said.

“Who are you? How do you know my name?” I was very scared, smoke isn’t supposed to talk!

“There is no time to explain. You must find the son of magic. You two must go to Long Island. I’ll be waiting for you there” the girl said.

“How would I find the son of magic?”

“He’ll find you. You’ll need this” she gave me two long knives in a leg belt.

“Why me?” I asked her.

“I’m so sorry, Sophie” she said without answering my question, “You need to wake up now” she disappeared and I was left there alone, with the flower and the two knives with me.
