"Sweetie…Sweetie…Wake up. My goodness…How do you sleep so well?"
My world was suddenly spinning as sparks of light made my vision blurry. I sat up from my bed with my comforter entangled with my legs.
"Sweetie…Sweetie…Wake up." There it was again. I jumped and found my mom standing at the doorway, staring at me weirdly.
"Um…Today's the day…" She looked at me with a sullen expression and sat down on the edge of my bed caressing my messy hair.
She set a slice of cake, that was severely burnt, by my side-table, "13 already…Chrys are you sure you aren't feeling, weird or followed?"
I rolled my eyes and slammed my face into one of my pillows, "Mom of course not! I mean sure I'm going through puberty but-"
My mom patted my shoulder and gave me one of those lovingly smiles, "Hush, hush. You aren't ready yet. I understand." She sighed and left my room muttering about something.
I looked over at the burnt cake and laughed as I took a bite of it. Every year my mom asks me the same question and every time I answer no. My mom is an overly protective person and well she only trusts my best friend Gissele, or rather, Gizz.
Speaking of the devil, "What's up Chrys?" Gizz walked into my room with her demin Capri's and her purple hoodie with cute anime characters all over it.
I started fixing my bed, a bit embarrassed that I was still in my pajamas, "Nothing much, just another birthday and the question that's always asked every year."
"I see." She took a seat on my computer chair and let the sound of music burst around my room. I smiled as I recognized the song in an instant, Nothin' on You by B.O.B.
I changed into a pair of medium toned jeans and a plain white tank top which I covered with my waist long grey hoodie, "Is something bothering you? You seem oddly quiet." I leaned over her from behind even though I was only 4 ft. and 10 inches while she was 4 ft. and 12 inches.
Gizz laughed and threw one of my several stuffed animals at me, "I'm just bored and something amazing is going to happen today. I just know it!" She stared at my closet for a while and I just stood there awkwardly.
Gizz usually did this. It was like that face that Raven Symone did in That So Raven every time she had a vision. I mean this was normal and my mom ignored me every time I asked her about it.
Gizz was an orphan when I found her on the streets of New York City. She was like deadly unconscious. When I brought her home my mom was ghostly white as we drove to the nearest hospital, practically exceeding the speed limits and almost running over old ladies.
When we got to the hospital, I remember the doctor and a couple of nurses running out of the room with pale faces. I ran inside and found Gizz sleeping soundlessly with such an innocent face. My mom on the other hand was in the corner of the room staring at her with deep fear but a tint of peacefulness.
So basically Gizz became my foster-sister that we took in. It's been 2 years since then, "Hey you're doing that thing again…" She snapped out of her trance and stared at me like a confused doe, "Wanna go out? I mean we could get some ice cream or something."
She smiled automatically at the words ice cream, "Yeah let's get the ones with fruit in them!"
I laughed and threw a pillow at her, "I don't think they have fruits in ice cream, stupid!"
She pouted like a stubborn child, "Yeah they do! I'm getting mango or peach! Let's go before you change your mind!"
I laughed and we walked over to the door until my mom blocked our way, "Chrys you'll be safe right? Don't follow anyone and if anyone mysterious crosses your path make sure you head straight home!"
I rolled my eyes, "Mom we'll be fine. We're just going for some ice cream across the street."
She nodded with some hesitation and let us pass.
"Sheesh, why is she so damn over protective. It's getting old." I pushed the elevator button with annoyance.
"She only does it cause she cares for you Chyrs. Don't be so harsh on her." The elevator finally arrived with a few people in it.
There was a boy with black hair, tan skin and beautiful green eyes that resembled the ocean. There was a girl next to him with curly blonde hair, tan skin and, what I thought were mysterious grey eyes. There was also a boy who was slightly shorter than the other two but he had curly brown hair covered with a Red Socks cap.
Gizz nudged at my side and yelped, "Sorry, sorry," She whispered, "But they're staring at us with wide-eyes. Not a good sign for anything."
I pretended to be clutching my side in pain as I took a peek and they were staring at us. The green eyed boy was just staring at me with an amused look but I was worried about the girl and short boy more. The girl was glaring at me for some reason and the short boy looked frightened.
"Got a problem?" I scowled at their faces as they jumped at my sudden voice. Don't get me wrong. I wanted to hide behind Gizz or something but I don't like it when people stare at us like that.
"Uh…No. Percy, Annabeth lets go." The short boy staggered out of the elevator and the boy and girl followed. I could feel their eyes stared into the small of my back as Gizz and I entered the elevator.
Gizz rushed to push the button that closed the elevator and leaned back relieved, "Chyrs you shouldn't pick fights like that."
I rolled my eyes and fiddled with the insides of my pockets, "They were being rude Gizz. They needed to be confronted."
She sighed and plastered a smile on her face, "Let's just get some ice cream and not think about them okay? Today's your day and nothing's going to ruin it!"
I nodded happily as the elevator doors slide open. Just as we were about to exit, Percy, the boy from before, blocked our way. He held the elevator doors open with both his arms as he stared at us, trying to catch his breath.
"Hey, dude would you mind moving?" I walked under his arm and gestured for Gizz to do the same.
She shook her head and stared at Percy, "How'd you get down here so fast? We were on the 7th floor. Are you in a track club or something?"
I raised my eyebrow at her and pushed Percy aside so I could grab Gizz by her forearm and get some damn ice cream.
She jerked her arm away, "You want something from us. You aren't human. I mean well you are but you aren't fully human. You're like-"
Just like that, Gizz fell to the floor unconscious. I screeched and rushed to her side before she made contact with the floor. I looked for a rubber band in my hoodie and tied her shiny night hair up.
I could feel Percy stare at us and to make things worse, Annabeth and short boy came to his side. They were staring at us and muttering stuff behind our backs. I thought about my mom and how she said to run straight home if I encountered strange people and well, these guys weren't normal.
I placed Gizz on my back, piggy-back style, and dashed up the emergency stairs. They were chasing me up the stairs, flight by flight, step by step. Thank God I could run.
"Wait! Wait! We're not stalkers!" I raised my eyebrow at the short boy flinging his gangly arms all over the place. I spotted a garbage can in the corner of the 6th floor and decided to throw it at them. At least that would stall them for another flight of stairs.
"Oh~! Tin cans! Food~! Food~!" The gangly boy tossed a hand-full of soda cans into the air while Percy and Annabeth tried to trudge through the rubbish.
I pushed the emergency stairs' door open and came face to face with an old lady. She smiled at me with her two visible, and only, front teeth. "Well hello there purdy. Something wrong?"
I gave her a weak smile as my eyes shuffled back and forth between her and my chasers, "Uh…Yeah everything's fine. I just need to get home. Thanks!" I stepped to the side of her but she followed my movements.
She placed her hand on her chest, "Oh dear. Well why don't you let Grandma walk you home." She offered me her wrinkly pruned hand. The sound of Percy and guest were behind me. They'd catch me any second and I'm not going to get caught being nice to some old lady.
"Um…Granny I'm kind of in a hurry here and well…" I dashed to other side of the old lady and made a run for it, "See ya!" I shouted as I made my way around a corner. Weirdly, she wasn't there.
"Going somewhere sweetie?" I bumped into the old lady who stood towering over me, smiling with her two front teeth.
"W-what? How'd you get here from…" I back at the spot where I encountered her and yet she stood here—in front of me, "Look scary granny, I have an unconscious friend so if you don't mind…"
She tilted her head and licked her dry lips, "Now darling, you must have better manners than that." Her form started to change. She grew taller and her skin started to spark like flares. I backed up and looked around me looking for Ashton Kutcher cause this must be some Punk'd special or something.
Dark, leathery wings sprouted out from her back. Her fingers suddenly stretching into sharp claws. What wasn't surprising though was the fact that her teeth where still yellow.
"Come darling, Grandma going to take you on a vacation you'll never forget." Her voice was like a chain-saw cutting metal and her eyes were pitch black pools of evil. Damn, I feel sorry for the kid who gets Christmas visits from this old hag. "Demigods are such a rare delicacy."
I took a cautious step back, "I'm not going anywhere with you!" The sound of shoes hitting the white titles filled the room. "Look lady, the joke's over. Bring on the Kutcher! Kutcher, my man, what's with this gig? Scaring little girls is not pretty!"
It was like a slow-motion video that was in a way, also fast-paced. Percy jumped over me with a bronze sword in his hands and sliced the hag. She evaporated into dust that somehow disappeared in a few seconds. Annabeth just leaned against the wall casually as she pulled down the Yankees cap on her head.
"G-man how'd I do?" Percy gave his friends a grin and walked past me completely. It was as if he didn't kill that monster for my sake.
I turned around and watched them smile at each other and act as if I was invisible. I shifted with the weight of Gizz on my back and stared at them with a confused look. "So is Ashton Kutcher going to come out or something? I mean Gizz was obviously involved in this whole prank too." They slowly turned as if they finally noticed my existence. I gave them a weak smile and pretended to give a laugh as I bounced Gizz on my back.
"Bwahaaaa~! We'll probably have to take her to camp won't we Percy?" The short guy munched off a whole side of a soda can with a worried look in his eyes.
Percy swung his sword around a bit then placed a pen cap on it, turning it into a pen. "Guess so Grover." He strode over to me and I had the strong urge to bow down and get on my knees. "What's your name? I'm Percy and this is Annabeth and Grover."
I raised my eyebrow and tilted my head confused, "Oh this must be a special episode of Punk'd! Haha! I'm Chyrs and this is my friend Gizz. Oh this is just great!" I turned around in a full circle and laughed while twirling my arms around.
They all laughed at me, "What are you talking about? Punk'd? That's a TV show, Chrys. This is reality." Annabeth walked over to me and bent down to my size and took my hand in hers, "Welcome to the world of Greek Gods."
So how was that everyone? Good? Horrible? Or possibly just boring? Well either way thank you for reading and please stay tune for the next chapter~! Thank you so very much and I am very excited to hear some comments from you folks.
