Chatterbox: Inkwell
Ok. So this is my first fanfiction that I ever shared with anyone else besides my family. I'd like some feed back, sugestions, and so on. Please go easy on me, though. This is only my first fanfiction.
This is a Percy Jackson and Sophie Foster fanfiction. If you do not know who they are, I sugest that you don't read this:) The fanfiction takes place after the last Heroes of Olympus books, and the 4'th KOTLC book. I'm going to post the first 2 chapters, because the first one has to lead directly into the second. Here it is: (P.s. I do not ship Percy and Sophie)(P.P.S. I'm going to keep switching from Percy's POV to Sohpie's.)
-----------
Percy's POV:
The sunlight was coming through the windows as I woke up. I jumped out of bed, and got dressed in my Camp Half-Blood T-shirt and jeans. I stepped out of the door, and saw Annabeth on her way to the dining pavillion from the Athena Cabin. She stopped when she saw me.
"Hey, Seaweed Brain."
"Hey, Wise Girl."
We walked hand in hand to the pavilion, passing other campers as we went. We found our favorite table and sat down. Piper, Jason, Leo and Calypso were already there.
Piper said," 'Morning, Annabeth. Percy."
We greeted our other friends. Everyone else already had food on their plates. Annabeth and I said what we wanted to our plates, and, instantly, it was there. A bowl of oatmeal was in front of Annabeth, and I had some blue pancakes.
We all ate in silence, me mostely still trying to fully wake up. Then Leo pushed his plate away, rubbed his hands together, and said," So what's on the agenda today?"
Annabeth told him," I don't think there is an agenda unless it's Friday, capture the flag day. I think you know that. I guess we can do whatever we want."
Everyone was still getting used to not having a life threatening quest to deal with.
"Sweet", said Jason. " I was planning to get some sword/lance practice in anyways."
Leo said that he had a aproject to work on, so even if there was an agenda, he probably would've skipped it anyways. Calypso elbowed him in the stomach, then both of them went off together to work on Leo's project.
Annabeth and I make plans to go down to the canoe lake to hang out. After eveyone was done eating, we stood and walked away to the pavillion. Piper and Jason wandered off somewhere together.
I said to Annabeth," I have to grab Riptide from my cabin real quickly. I forgot it when I was getting dressed."
She nodded and said that she would meet me by the canoe lake when I was ready.
I sprinted to the Posiden Cabin, and stuffed Riptide (In his pen form) in my pocket. I'm just heading back, when I hear screaming from above me. I look up, and falling from the sky is a girl. Her blonde hair and volumnous ( Is that something Percy would say?) clothes were flapping all around her. I can tell that she is going to hit the ground fast.
I just stood there, dumbstruck. What is a girl doing falling fron the sky? Then I think to myself, I'm a demigod. Girls falling from the sky sould be the norms by now. I position myself underneath her to catch her-- if there had been any water nearby, I would've sent a wave to sweep her up.
Then, when she's 10 feet away from becoming a human pancake ( I have no reason to belive I'll actually catch her), she all of the sudden stops. In mid air. Floating.
My jaw drops.
She opens her eyes, which were clenched shut. Then she stops floating, and lands on her face.
Sophie's POV:
So far, my day had been going pretty good... up until I leave for the Vacker's house.
I'd woken up, gone to school, had an awesome telepathy session with Fitz, and came home. Biana had asked me over to thier house, so after a a snack, I was going to head over.
I stuffed one last peice of mallowmelt in my mouth, and walked out the door. Grady and Edaline were out somewhere with the verminion, so I had left them a note.
I went over t the seaside cliffs. Ever since my fadeing incedent, I had preferred teleporting over light-leaping. I jumped off, got my momentum, and the void opened up in front of me. I was sucked in. Then, as I tried to bring up my mental picture of Everglade, something went wrong. There was like static in my mind, interfering with my memories so that I could'nt bring up a picture of Everglade. Without my controlling it, the void opened up again, and I fell through.
I was'nt in Everglade. I was hundreds of feet in the air, falling twords what looked like a settlement.
A scream escaped my lips.
The ground was coming up quickly, and below, a young man was holding his arms out, as if going to catch me. He did'nt seem too sure of himself, though.
I sqwezed my eyes shut.
Then my levitation kicked in.
I feel myself float there, then I open my eyes. I see the young man. He's looking at me with his mouth open. There were other people around him. Boys and girls, all somewhat near his age, in various stages of doing different things. One girl had on a helmet and carrieid a sword.
Then my levitation failed me.I fell to the groung on my face. I groan, then roll over on my back. The sea-green eyes of the young man are very close to my face.
"Are you okay?" He seemed genuenly concerned.
"No," I say. I close my eyes again. I landed with my left arm folded in on me, and I'm pretty sure that somethings broken. I sat up, and cradled my throbbing arm, which was now twice it's normal size. Everyone was just standing there, staring at me. They probably were'nt used to having people fall from the sky. These were all humans, that i'm sure of. I can hear all of their jumbled thoughts in my mind. My arm hurts too much for me to put up my mental blocking.
Then, in the crowd, a young man with sandy blond hair pushed through.
He kneels beside me. Pointing to my mangled arm, he says," Here, let me see. I can help."
Somewhat reluctantly, I move my arm towrds him, only to have a shoot of pain go up through my shoulder. i cry out, and the boy, he looks to be about 15, touches my shoulder. he probes it up and down, all the way to my wrist, which hurts the worst.
He looks at me. "It's broken in a least 2 places, maybe 3."
I hold my arm close, and he helps me up.
"Here, come with me to the infirmary. There's stuff there that will fix your arm."
"Oh-okay," i say.
I slowly follow him, as every move I make jolts my arm. The now large crowd that had gathered around parted for us.
I heard the green-eyed boy yell behind us," I'll get Chiron, Will!"
The blond boy, Will, I guess his name was, turned and said," Okay. We'll probably still be at the infirmary."
The green-eyed boy ran off in the direction of a blue farm house. Will saw me watching, and said," That's Percy Jackson. I'm Will Solace," he pointed to himself." Obviously."
"My name's Sophie," I said. "Sohpie Foster."
We passed my more people, all with the same orange t-shirt that Percy had been wearing. Will had on something different. Almost like doctor's scrubs, I guess. Some of the people had wepons, ranging from swords and daggars, to lances and screw drivers. They all stared at us, me most likely. Thier thoughts kept floating to me,as i had yet to put up my blocking. Who's that? or What's with her arm? Why is Will with her? Even, Her clothes are wierd, and She's kinda pretty.
"What is this place, Will?" I asked.
He grinned at me. " Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, Sophie foster!"

TTOOOOPPPP!!
Come on guys! Is my writing really that that NO ONE is commenting? Help me out here!
(September 18, 2017 - 12:32 pm)
The first post on a thread always sends it to the bottom. Now that we've posted, maybe others will, too.

I like it! It's pretty good, except that I don't really understand what's happening in Sophie's PMV with telepathey and stuff. Usually I don't see that in Percy Jackson.
(September 19, 2017 - 4:31 pm)
Sorry, did you mean to say POV? In your post it says PMV...
Anyways, Sophie accidently teleported to Camp Half-Blood, she stopped herself before hitting the ground with her levitation, some thing that all elves know how to do, except that she is'nt the best at it, and she still fell. If Sophie is in the Forbidden Cities, without her mental blocking, she hears human thoughts. As Will was guiding her though the camp, she kept hearing the camper's thoughts, because she did'nt have enough concentration to use her blocking, because her arm hurt so bad. I guess I should have clarified that in the actual story, sorry. This is what I needed to hear, though, or how else am I going to improve my writing?
At the end of your post, I don't quite understand you. Did you mean that you don't usually see Percy as not the first to react to something like Sophie's arrival? Or do you mean that you don't see Percy saying what Sophie heard in the thoughts? As I said, I probably should've clarified in the story that it was the camper's thoughts, not Percy's or Will's.
The great thing about storys though is the fact that mine was only a ruff draft. I'll probably go and re-write it with the help of all of your comments to make it better. Sometime. Not now, though, as I'm too lazy.:)

Oh sorry, I meant that I usually don't see telepathy/levitation/etc. in the Percy Jackson series.
(September 19, 2017 - 9:11 pm)
Oh. I guess I made a big deal about nothing, then. Sorry. Yes, you are right. There isn't usually any mental powers and stuff in the series, but I had to put it in because of Sophie. 'Cause Sophie wouldn't be Sophie if she didn't have any powers:)

This story is super interesting!!! Loving the Sophie part to it since I am an avid KOTLC fan, and have read all five books in the series. And the sixth one is coming out on November seventh!!! Just so you know. I think you could use a little more details in the story, though, and you need a few more big-ish words for Sophie's part of the fan fiction since she's pretty smart and all that.

Ok, thanks for the sugestion, Shade! I see that your location is Havenfield! LOL! Is your name diverted from, like, Tam's power or something?

*cringes* Hoo boy. How much my writing has improved from this PJO + KOTLC crossover fanfic... mess.
(May 5, 2018 - 6:51 pm)
Ohhhhhhh so that was you!! Ha and it’s really weird to see an old thread with me posting under my older name.
(May 6, 2018 - 5:36 pm)
XD Yeah, that was me. You can see why I cringed. ; ) And yeah, it's a little weird. Was your username derived from Tam's power? Kinda weird seeing how bubbly and attention-hogging I was at this point in my CB career, too. XD
(May 6, 2018 - 6:30 pm)
Yea, it was. ;)
