Hi, this the first chapter of new story, The Hidden Star. A little warning: This IS a fanfic based on Percy Jackson so later on it will have spoilers! Now, onto the chapter. If your planning on reading this, leave while you still can. It might just get you mixed up in all this. If you are for some reason reason planning on staying, I need to get a few things straight. First of all, I'm an 12 year old half-blood. Second, my name's Emerson John. Third, I hate dogs, they ruined my life. Alright, now that I've got that straightened out I should probably stop stalling and get writing. So, I guess I should start where it all began. Walking Barkly. Barkly is a cleverly named St. Bernard me and my best friend, Claire Baker, had found yesterday. Today Claire and I were walk walking him down the street. He had always been a sweet dog, but today was different. We turned onto an empty street when Barkly yanked his leash out of my hand and turned to face us. But then, the weirdest thing happened! Barkly started to grow, like, a ton! Soon he was the size of a garbage truck! His fur went from brown and white to midnight black. I glanced at Claire to check if she was seeing this. She was, but strangely her face just looked tired and calm almost like... this had happened to her befor? "W-what is that thing?" I stammered to her. "A hell hound." She said glancing towards me "Don't move" "Wasn't planning on it" I mumbled. She slowly, for some reason, started to reach for her back pack. Before she could grab whatever was inside, Barkly leaped on top of me, easily pinning me with his large black paw! Suddenly a bronze arrow sprouted from his chest. All he had time to do was make a startled whimper befor he melted in to a puddle of shadows.
