Mortals Meet Demigods

Gracelyn Tomas-Percabeth

Hello world. It is I. Your beautiful popular girl Grace. I hate my name Gracelyn. I go by Grace. I am the total queen of Beach High. My beautiful long brown hair has light beach waves, and natural golden blond highlights. I have gorgeous dark blue eyes. They are all natural. I promise. I get it all from my mom I think. My dad never told me anything about her besides how she left us when I was born.

Anyway, there's these new kids, Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. They are both super cool, and I decided to befriend them. Unlike most popular girls, I actually am nice to people, unlike my friend Amanda. She managed to get me on top, so I let her do what she wants.

Anyway, Percy is sooooo cute. Annabeth's pretty too, but Percy has effortless looks. He doesn't have a girlfriend as far as I know. So I'm going to ask him out at lunch. 

Time skip to lunch......

I went to the lunch table, preparing to ask out Percy, when I saw his hand around Annabeth's waist! I knew they were best friends, but oh! This is terrible. No more Ms. Nice Girl. It's time to become the popular girls Amanda always knew was inside of me.

I strutted over to the table, and said, "Do you guys want to go to the movies this weekend?" 

Percy and Annabeth looked at each other. "We are transferring schools on Friday." Annabeth said.

"But you just got here! You can't leave! What about today?"

"We have plans." said Percy.

Suddenly, a huge black dog towing two goth people, a native American girl, and Asian boy, a blond haired boy, a dude with a tool belt, and a girl with curly hair just bursts into the cafeteria!

Percy and Annabeth jump up and run over there. "Mrs O Leary! Thalia! Nico! Jason! Piper! Leo! Hazel! Frank! I told you guys we had school today! We get back this weekend! How the heck did you get here anyway!" Percy yells at the kids and the dog.

The Native American girl speaks up, "We had to take Mrs O Leary for a walk, and she's so strong we took everyone, the suddenly Mrs O Leary shadow travels, and we end up outside the school. Then she drags us inside! Hey by the way, did you find one?"

Annabeth pipes up, "Yeah, like maybe two or three. I think we found one of your sisters. And a couple others. Grover getting here tomorrow to confirm. Not get out of here before I judo flip all of you!" 

The group of kids and the dog disappear into the shadows. I run over to them, "Ummmm, what the heck just happened! They disappeared! They were just here! Found who! Why was that dog so big and strong?"

Percy and Annabeth looked at each other. Annabeth mouthed, "Make that four."

Percy glanced at me, then looked back at Annabeth. Then he started talking in Ancient Greek I think. I don't know what's stranger, the fact that he knew it, or the fact that I understood it!

"We better move tonight! I'm no satyr, but there is a powerful demigod here. One of the big tree broke their vows again. It to dangerous here. We got to move now Wise Girl."

Annabeth answered in Ancient Greek, "Yeah Seaweed Brain, you get the twins, I'll take her and get the other one. Do you have the bags?"

"I'll Iris Message Grover, and he'll bring them with the van."

"I can't believe you forgot them Seaweed Brian!" Annabeth punched him.

"Jeez Wise Girl, you have a strong punch."

At this point I said, in English, "What do those nicknames mean? Why do I understand Ancient Greek, what do you mean we have to move?" I rambled.

"You have to come with me Grace. It's to dangerous here. We'll explain when we're in a safer location." Annabeth said. 

She grabbed my hand, and took off down the hall. I struggled, but she tightened her grip. She opened the door to a classroom, and stopped in front of the teacher. She talked for a bit, then walked to the back of the room, and said something in Ancient Greek to this emo kid in the back. He looked at her, then stood up and followed. Annabeth walked out of the classroom, and stopped at each of our lockers. I grabbed my backpack, under her supervision. It only had my phone, some snacks, and a change of clothes.

"Call your parents." She ordered.

Me and the emo pulled out our phones. I called my dad, and the emo did too.

"Daddy!" I said when he answered, "What's happening?" 

Annabeth took my phone from me, "Sir, are you aware of your daughter's mother?" She asked.

"Is it time? I tried to protect her, don't take her away from me. She's all I have left." I heard my father crying on the other side.

"We'll protect her sir, she can visit you after we determine her godly parent."

"Ok." My dad hung up. Then Annabeth took my phone, threw it against the ground, and stepped on it until it was destroyed.

The emo called her dad, and then did the same with her phone.

Annabeth dragged us outside, and we got into a van that said Delphi's Strawberry Service on the side.

Percy and the Kartley twins were waiting with this guy wearing a green cap over his curly red hair. 

"This is Grover, he'll be taking us to one of the safe places for demigods. All of you are half god. Greek god." Percy let us think about that.

The emo girl spoke up, "I'm a daughter of Aprodite. My dad doesn't keep secrets from me. My name is Jenny Rane." 

Percy nodded. He glanced at Annabeth, who nodded. Grover started driving. Percy handed each of us a bag. "I guess we should tell you. Me and Annabeth are married, with two children."

Annabeth snapped her fingers, and their appearance changed slightly, and Annabeth slipped on a ring. 

"What!" I snapped. "How! You guys are like 18! I'm 16! How are you married!" I looked red. 

They mumbled something like, "It was time. We could die tomorrow." They looked at Grover, who laughed.

"It's about time they did. I've been waiting since they were 12."

I fumed silently. Then the truck stopped. Grover got us out, and Percy and Annabeth told us to run as fast as we possibly could until we got through the arch.

We ran for our lives. Suddenly, a weird snake lady appeared.

"Keep running! Follow Grover!" Percy yelled. Annabeth stays behind with him. They drew weapons, and started to fight.

I turned  back to Grover and realized something, "You have goat legs!" I yelled.

"I'm a satyr, keep going!" He shouted back.

I heard one last hiss, before a poof of Golden dust flew into my view.

Annabeth and Percy sprinted ahead of us, and crossed through the arch.

"You guys have to make it through the property line! Keep going!" Annabeth shouted. Jenny got through first, then the twins, then me, and then Grover.

As soon as I stepped though, a dove popped above my head. Suddenly everyone who was watching gasped. I followed their line of vision. 

"It can't be. He couldn't of had twins. Holy Zeus. Where's Jason!" Percy said.

The blond haired boy I saw earlier pushed through the crowd. He gasped, "No." 

Above the twin's head was a lightning bolt.

I walked around, trying to see better, when I bumped into a boy. He was cute.

Years later.....

I decided I don't need a man. In my teenage years I practically fell in love with everyone I saw. I made a life for myself, and my sister Jenny is my best friend. And this amazing life only started because I met Percabeth.
