Chapter 1
Percy
Percy stood outside, and grumbled.
He was standing in the ruins of a deserted parking lot, staring at a large, brown structure. It was by far the largest high school that Percy could have attended, in New York City. It wasn't as grand as he had expected though. The paint job looked pretty chapped all around, and most of the windows were coated in dust. This was the school he would be attending for the year, or until he got himself expelled. He put his trust in the second option, taking it from past experience.
His mom must have figured out what he was thinking about, because she suddenly put a warm hand on top of his shoulder. Percy found it kind of unnerving how she always knew what was bothering him. It was one of the many things that made her great. Other reasons included the fact that she had to be the nicest person to ever walk the planet Earth, and her kind heart toward other people. Even extreme jerks , like his mom's old boyfriend Gabe Ugiliano. (Percy had always snickered about his name, behind his back. He imagined that he had got beat up a lot in school.)Percy had always hated Gabe, but then he saw him slap his mother. He had been an inch away from doing something to Gabe that probably would have gotten him thrown into jail. Then when he had gotten him, he had found the house completely empty and void of his extremely, musty smell. This was a release for Percy, and his nose. The guy had been as bad, as he smelled.
He had asked his mother what had happened to him. If they had got a divorce, if she hadn't given him, the good news yet, and if they would ever see his sorry butt again. She had smiled, with a twinkle in her eye. "I guess you could say that." She had considered. "All that you need to know is that he's gone." Percy had whooped for joy, not even caring that the answer his mom had given him was awfully vague. He barely noticed the fact that his mom was holding a check for 5,000 dollars. In her delicate hands.
"Percy, do you want me to come in with you?" His mom whispered softly, still grasping his shoulder, and pulling Percy away from his thoughts.
"Ah, no thanks mom, I can handle it." He said quickly. He Imagined walking into ninth grade as the new kid, his mom holding his hand, like his chaperone. He didn't think the other kids would be impressed with his entrance.
"Are you sure Percy? Because you look a little pale." His mom said, while pinching his face with worry.
"It's Okay mom. Geez!" Though secretly, he liked the attention that his mom was giving him.
"I'm sorry, it's just that am worried about what's going to happen to you." His mom said. She was still fidgeting with his face.
He finally shrugged her off, telling her it would be okay, nothing would happen, and a bunch of other meaningless words. He was just as worried as his mom. Something strange and dangerous always seemed to happen to him wherever school he went. Things that teachers said came from his over active imagination or lies he had been spreading to receive attention. Far fetched things that were obviously signs of mental instability. With a bunch of other big words, that Percy never understood. How anyone could make up seeing a guy with one eye, that seemed to be stalking them, he didn't know. He had a feeling that he would be expelled in less than a week, in a nice school like this.
His mom looked like she was about to say something to him, but then hesitated like she thought better of it.
Instead she said, "Percy, this is Paul's school so try not to..."
"Mess it up?" Percy guessed.
His mom nodded. Paul was his mom's new boyfriend. She had met him two years after she had 'divorced' Gabe, and they had taken a liking to each other. At first Percy was totally against it. She was with another guy other than his father, who he had never met. Even though he had walked away from them, and hadn't come back, Percy still felt that his mom should at least wait for him. “Until he had returned from sea.” As she always told him.
For that soul reason, he had been rather rude toward Paul. But over time he had warmed up to him. The guy had even asked Percy on his opinion of marrying his mom. He had actually told him to go for it.
The guy was extremely nice. He had went out of his way to help Percy and his mom. He had even gotten Percy administered in his school he worked at, as an English teacher.
This was the reason why. Why Percy would try as hard as he could not to let anything strange happen throughout this year. He didn’t want to make Paul look bad. If anything did happen, it wouldn’t shine Paul in a good light. He might even lose his job. Percy didn’t want that to happen, so he would try to behave throughout the school year.
It was the least Percy could do for the guy.
He walked slowly toward the building, pausing to wave to his mom. She was biting her lip. It looked like she was trying to hope for the best.
He continued walking toward the entrance, until his mom was just a tiny haze. He reached the marble steps, and began to climb them.
As he walked the marble steps leading to the building’s entrance, only one thought occurred to him.
Why did the trees sound like they were humming? It was weird. As if a sound was emanating from them. Living them up. Making them seem almost alive.
Infact a sense of nature seemed to have sprouted into the atmosphere. This was weird. There wasn't a forest in fifty miles. It was New York after all.
He caught the smell of a warm, ocean, breeze. The smell he had grown up with. All through his childhood. His mom's favorite place to go was the beach. Especially the one in Montauk, Long Island. She loved going there when she was a child. And it was the place she had met his father. Before she had started dating Paul, she would just stare transfixed at the sea for hours, mist building up in her eyes. Then by accident, Percy would make some noise, and she would awaken from her trance. Like nothing ever happened.
Percy then smelled something that wasn't so pleasant. It was the smell of burning wood, a fire to be more precise. As if the fire was burning the nice imagery of nature that had suddenly seemed to appear. Then he heard voices. One sounded humanoid...and the other he couldn't place it. As if it was un human. He heard cries, that sounded alot like battle ones.
Curiosity got the better of him, and before he knew it, his legs were leading him toward the voices.
They were leading him toward the back end of the school. Turning left, they brought him to a remote area. He could easily have walked right past it.
And he wished he had. The place reeked of rot, decay, and garbage. And no wonder it did. He was standing at the dumpsters. Piles of indesposable waste and garbage, laid clustered on the floor.And basically everywhere. Bacteria hung at the wall, with mold bringing down the rear. The sight of the garbage alley was definetly an eye sour. Though his brain wasn't dwelling on how disgusting the place was.
Since right before him, with his back turned was the back of a kid. From Percy's angle, he looked like he was about the same age as he was. Nothing was unusual about his appearance. It was typical and plain. Dark hair, and pale complexion. The only thing that looked weird about him, was the fact that he was glowing. Literally glowing. It looked like the boy was in flames. Then Percy realized that he really was in flames. But the strange thing was, he didn't seem to be burning up.
Percy watched in pure fascination as the boy started yelling a string of insults. He seemed to be battling a dark shape, that wasn't in Percy's line of vision. All he heard were growls and snorts, as the boy tried to attack what ever it was, with what looked like a hammer. Percy didn't see how that would help him, against anything he was facing. Then again. What did he know?
Percy couldn't move, so he just stood there, watching the kid curse, and jab, the dark presence. Occasionally yelling taunts, that seemed to annoy what ever he was fighting against.
Percy knew that this wasn't safe, normal, or sane for that matter. He should've ran back and called for help, teachers, Paul, even a principal. Heck he should have called the police. He should have been running down the police station yelling a crazy kid is fighting some dark force, that he couldn't see. Wait no, that sounded pretty senile. If he had said that, he probably would have landed himself in the mental institution, but at least the kid would get help...and maybe he could get some help too. What he was seeing, seemed pretty farfetched. Or at least more exaggerated than he was used to seeing. And he had seen some pretty messed up stuff. Things like woman under the lake, and people with one eye in the middle of their forehead. But no, all he did was stand there, watching the whole scene. He didn't know if this was made up, real, in his imagination, or possibly just dreaming. He knew one thing though, it seemed like entertainment.
Then Percy mentally cursed himself, for enjoying something like this. Even though he felt that this was totally a hallucination, he knew deep down, it wasn't. The kid was really in danger of what ever he was up against. All he was doing to help him was watching. He had a feeling that what ever the black thing was. It wanted the boy dead.
"So you want to fight too sir? This does not concern you, but I sense you're a demigod like this one. Go on then, try to help him. This means more meat for me. Today I will dine on two demigod fleshes. How lucky am I." The voice was snakey, and smooth, with a lisp at the Ss. It dragged Percy away from his mental scolding.
The voice seemed to be coming from the black mass. Which somehow shocked him, as if he had expected it not to know English. Even if he had never met it before. Not to mention, the strange things he had just said. Like the thing wanted to eat the boy, as well as him too.
The boy that was fighting before had stopped. He just stood there with a hammer at his side, staring at Percy in shock. He was blinking quickly, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He seemed to have forgotten that there was this huge thing he was supposed to be fighting, so he wouldn't like, get eaten.
Percy felt fear crawling into his heart, and taking control.
He wanted to yell 'please I taste awful, not enough vitamins!' But before he could, the monster (he had decided it was a monster) lunged at him.
Quicker than a blink of an eye, the thing was on top of him. He could feel.. Claws? Yes, actual claws gripping his neck. He couldn't see the monster, since his eyes were closed. He could sure smell him though. HIs eyes were watering from the thing's stench. Talk about some Bad BO. Whatever this thing was, it badly needed a shower, breath mint, deodorant, the works.
"Stand still dude. I am going to roast this bad snake up." This came from the boy. Percy guessed that he had finally recovered his wits, and realized that he had to do something.
Percy nodded. Or as much as he could. With a monster gripping you're neck.
