In Between Two Worlds (HP/PJO Crossover)

Chapter 2: I Accidentally Kill My Teacher...Oops.

We walked outside to see Grover sitting on the edge of the fountain eating lunch. When we sat down Grover asked, "Detention?" without even looking up from his lunch.

I gasped and put a hand on my heart. "Grover! I can't believe that's the first place you thought of!" I said, pretending to be offended. "But no. No detention!"

He rolled his eyes at me then said, "Then what did he want?"

"Oh, he just asked us to find an answer to his question. Said it would 'help us in the long run." I shrugged it off and continued to eat.

The three of us talked until that smelly, no good, toad faced evil little wart of a person Nancy Bobofit walked over to us and "accidentally" dropped her lunch on Grover's lap. I was so mad that I didn't even notice I had started to glow! I was about to go and punch Nancy when a wave came from the fountain and pulled her in. She started screaming, "Percy pushed me! Percy pushed me!"

The next thing I knew Mrs. Dodds, the other chaperon from school–and my awful pre-algebra teacher–was standing next to us. She turned to us and said "Follow me. Now"

"Wait! But I didn't do anything!" I protested.

"No arguing with an adult, young lady." She snapped back.

I turned to Percy and gave him a fearful look. We knew it was only a matter of time before we were expelled. When we turned to follow Mrs. Dodds, we saw that she was already at the top of the stairs. I shot a confused look at Percy before we started to follow her.

When we got to the top, Mrs. Dodds was already entering the Ancient Greek and Roman section. When we entered the section, we saw it was empty except for me, Percy, and Mrs. Dodds.

She turned to face us and said, "You two have been giving us a lot of problems. Did you really think that you could get away with it?"

We both stayed silent. "We are not fools, Percy Jackson and Karlee Gray! It was only a matter of time before we found out about you two! Confess and suffer less pain."

I had no idea what the heck she was talking about! "Um...what?" I said, the confusion clear on my face.

"Don't play dumb with me Karlee Gray! You know exactly what I'm talking about!"

Then it got weirder. She started to change. Her eyes were glowing red. Her fingers grew into talons. Her leather jacket turned into huge leathery wings!

Then things reached a whole new level of weird. Mr. Brunner wheeled in and yelled, "Percy! Karlee! Catch!"

We turned just in time to catch what he had thrown us. A ballpoint pen and a ring. But when the ring touched my hand it turned into a beautiful bow.

We turned to face Mrs. Dodds with our weapons in hand. She lunged at us and I instinctively notched and arrow and fired it at her. She turned to dust a second later with a small hiss. Our weapons turned back into a pen and a ring. We turned to thank Mr. Brunner only to find he was nowhere to be seen.

We went back outside with dazed expressions on our faces. When Mr. Brunner saw us he smiled at us and said, "Oh good! You found my pen and ring!" We handed Mr. Brunner his stuff back and then went back over to Grover. When we asked him where Mrs. Dodds was, he said that there was no one named Mrs. Dodds. But I could tell he was lying. He had hesitated before he replied. We questioned him again but he said the same thing. I was so done with Grover messing with us so I walked over to Mr. Brunner and asked, "Mr. Brunner? Sir, I'm sorry to bother you but where is Mrs. Dodds?" When he looked confused I continued, "You know, the other chaperone on this trip. The pre-algebra teacher?"

He gave me a worried look then said, "Karlee, there is no Mrs. Dodds on this field trip. As far as I know, there has never even been a Mrs. Dodds at Yancy ever. Are you feeling alright?" I quickly nodded and headed back over to Percy and Grover. Percy looked at me, hoping that we weren't going insane. But as soon as I shook my head, all hope drained from his face and it was replaced by some indescribable emotion that we both felt.
