"Me?! What about him?! He already has a girlfriends and now I catch him hitting on you!"
"He wasn't hitting on me Tyler! He was helping me!" Monica roared. Percy felt a wave of mana wash over him. He couldn't believe what he was feeling. The energy, it was coming off in waves, and the strangest part was it was coming off of Monica!
Suddenly the books in the selves around themes started to shake. Percy watched in amazement as the mana rolling off of Monica seeped into the books lifting them into the air.
"I hate you Tyler! It's because of you that I never have any friends!" Monica's brown eyes turned yellow, a wave of mana exploded out of her sending Michael and Tyler flying back. Slowly Monica rose into the air with an air of power surrounding her. Her hair floated around pushed forward by an invisible wind, "I hate you!"
"What's going on?!" Michael yelled as Percy and Thalia helped him up.
Percy looked at Monic and focused his mana sensing powers. He pushed his mana outwards and prodded her, immediately he was hit with a wave of cold fury;
Demon Mana,
The mana you are sensing is from a demon brought forth from the depths of Hell itself.
Percy's eyes shot open, "what the hell?!"
"AHHHHH!" Monica roared out as she sent a shockwave of energy pushing everything away in a good 5 feet distance of her. Shelves broke down, books went flying away. The windows in the library shattered sending glass everywhere.
Percy knew Thalia and Michael could take care of themselves, but Tyler was just a human. He needed to protect him, so without a second though Percy rushed forward standing in front of the human absorbing a majority of the energy being sent out of Monica.
Monica floated in the middle of the destruction. Thalia and Michael were thrown away to one corner. But Percy stood right in front of her protecting Tyler from the onslaught of magic. He lowered his hands covering his face and stared at her with glowing green eyes.
"Who are you?" Percy growled.
"Your doom puny mortal," Monica spoke, but it wasn't her voice that came out. And then suddenly, like someone had cut her strings, Monica collapsed down.
"W-what happened to her?" Tyler asked as he finally got back up.
"Something very, very bad," Percy grumbled as he looked around at all the destruction caused. He was going to have a tough time explaining this one.

Suprise mother fuckers! I bet you all thought I abandoned this story, you wouldn't belive how many PMs and reviews I got asking for an update. I ask you all to be paitent but NO you just have to have a chapter now! Gods be damned man!
Stop asking for a chapter in my other stories! I said I'm not abandoning this story and I mean it!
Sigh, anyway this is the last side story that I wanted to do before we get back into the main arc. Don't worry this story is very much important as it will deal with the history of the school and why Chiron belived it would be the best place to protect Percy from monsters.
And finally the Hermes squad has been assembled! You know after this one is done maybe I should do a story about their adventures? Something to think about.
But wait...what's this? Another chapter?! You lucky dogs!
Chapter 57
Chapter 57:
Percy looked down and saw Monica's chest raise up and go down. She looked liked she was having trouble breathing, but from what the nurse mentioned it was because her asthma was acting up.
Thalia sat beside her bed looking through an old magazine, they had been here for three hours and yet Monica's condition hadn't changed. The sun was going down, the last rays of the sun bathed the room yellow. Percy didn't like it, he tried everything, even used his healing powers, but she still hasn't woken up yet.
"Is she showing any signs of waking up?" Tyler asked as he walked in with Michael and Clarisse by his side. They had gone out to get something to eat while Thalia and Percy volunteered to stay at Monica's side.
"Here, you guys should get," Clarisse brought out two cheese bagels with a handful of cheese cream sachets.
"Thanks," Thalia smiled as she and Percy started to munch on the bread.
"So happened to her?" Tyler asked he ran his fingers down Monica's face, "one moment she was fine and the next....it was like she...she, did something."
Percy nodded, "yeah. Something." He ate his food in silence as he recalled what had happened since Monica went all demon fury on them.
Thanks to the Mist everyone didn't question all the destruction caused to the library shelves. From what Percy understood the mortals believed that the wood in the shelves were rotten and they weren't strong enough to hold the books up.
They also believed that a group of students had smashed in the windows with rocks. The school was currently searching for these 'ruffians'.
Percy and the others also managed to convince everyone that Monica had fainted because one of those rocks had hit her in the head. So far no one dared to question them, Percy just hoped their luck would hold for a little while longer.
"So tell me why exactly are you here Tyler?" Michael asked as he narrowed his eyes at the swimming team captain.
"What do you mean?" Tyler asked.
"I mean you knew Monica, and she obviously knew you. I'm asking you how," Michael clarified.
Tyler sighed, "simple...she's my twin sister."
The group stopped and stared at Tyler and then Monica.
"I'm guessing you two were fraternal twins?" Percy asked finishing his bagel.
"Yeah," Tyler nodded, "obviously. She and I....well, we aren't as close as we used to be. When we started school we just got split up. I became popular and she...well she.."
"Became Goth?" Thalia finished.
Tyler sighed and nodded, "yeah. Goth." tyler looked at Percy, the asshole from before was gone, standing now was a confused and concerned brother, "what happened to her?"
Percy sighed, "I have no idea," he looked to Monica and observed her;
Monica William, Believer of Magic

HP: 400/400
MP: 0/0
Race— Human

From a young age Monica has always felt different, she has always been standing outside looking in. After her twin and her started to drift apart Monica found comfort in the mystical and the unexplained feeling a connection to the misunderstood. She has dedicated her life looking for these things.
Likes: Magic
Dislikes: Normal people, shallow people, wannabes
She hates Percy
She is very adapt in ancient languages
She is unconcious
Percy then sent a wave of mana out feeling her body, his mana sensing skill came back with the expected reply;
Demon Mana,
The mana you are sensing is from a demon brought forth from the depths of Hell itself.
Percy grumbled, there was no change. He could feel the mana pouring out of her, but his Observation powers still told him she was human, not even mentioning if she was possessed by a demon or something, it just didn't make any sense.
"I still don't understand what happened," Tyler grumbled, "one moment she was fine and then she started....strated...fly? I think."
Percy sighed, "yeah...something like that" he turned to the others in the room, everyone here, expect Tyler and Monica, could see past the Mist. So Percy convinced them to act dumb on this, the less people knew about their world the better, and while Percy might hate Tyler he didn't want the guy dying from shock.
"Hey, what's this," Thalia squinted as she noticed something inside Monica's jacket. She reached forward and pulled out a black leather bound book. Percy observed it;
Notes of Yancy Academy constructions, (Cursed)
This book contains details about the construction of Yancy Academy.
Percy narrowed his eyes, [Thalia drop the book now!] Percy switched to ancient greek startling his girlfriend. She immediately drew her hand back and looked at Percy for an explanation [I have a feeling this is what caused Monica to summon magic.]
Tyler look confused but the other demigods understood what Percy was saying. The demigod switched languages in order to keep their conversation away from Tyler, once again for his one safety.
Thalia spoke in ancient Greek, [so what is it?]
[From what I'm able to sense it looks like a cursed item,] Percy mummered as he looked it over, [it's a book about how this academy was constructed, and from what I can tell it's cursed with demon magic.]
[Demon magic?] Michael asked, [you mean Greek monster or....]
[I mean Christian demon,] Percy sighed, [like Marcia.]
[Great, just great. We come to a mortal scholl and the next thing we know one of our classmates has been possessed by a demon.] Clarisse sighed in frustration.
"What language are you guys speaking?" Tyler asked.
"It's something we came up at camp," Percy lied smoothly, "it's like secret code."
Lie Detected!
"So why did you feel like you had to keep a secret from me?" Tyler crossed his arms in fury.
"Because I don't trust you," Percy replied.
"Yeah well I don't trust you! In fact why are you even here?! I'm her brother! Who the hell are you guys?!"
"We are her friends," Thalia spat out.
"She doesn't have friends!"
"And whose fault is that?" Thalia asked.
"I didn't do shit! The freak is just like this, she's always been like this!"
"What did you call her?!" Thalia roared as she jumped out of her seat and charged Tyler. She grabbed him by the collar and slammed him up against a wall, "you're her brother! And she's hurt right now, why the hell are you acting like such an ass?!"
"Get off me bitch," Tyler tried to pry Thalia's hands off of him but the demigoddess was too strong for him.
"I swear to the Gods Tyler you keep this up and I'm going to put you in a full body cast," Thalia roared as lighting sparkled around her head.
"Guys!" Michael called out as he ran to Monica's side, "she's waking up."
Thalia let Tyler go as she and the others gathered around Monica. They watched her stare awake as she opened her brown eyes and lock on them.
She looked around and spotted her brother, "Tyler? What happened?"
"You...you well...-"
"-You were possessed by a demon," Percy jumped in causing Monica to snap her attention to him. The other demigods looked at Percy confused, they agreed to keep the mortals out of this, but the son of Poseidon just sighed, "she needs to know."
The others nodded in relactantance, Thalia and Michael particularly didn't like it, but it needed to happen.
"W-what did I do?" Monica asked in horror as she looked at Thalia, "did I-did I-"
"-No, you didn't hurt anyone," Thalia assured her fellow punk girl, "but you could have. It was pure luck that no one has died."
"What the hell are you guys talking about?!" Tyler finally lost his patients, "what do you mean possessed?!"
Clarisse sighed, "fine, I'll tell him, come along Micheal," she and Michael grabbed Tyler by the collar and dragged him outside. At the door Clarisse turned to Percy, "get the story out of her, we'll fill in Mr. Douche."
[Don't tell him we are demigods,] Percy spoke in ancient Greek, [he may need to know about the existence of gods and monsters, but don't tell him everything.]
Clarisse nodded in responce and closed the door behind her.
"Wait...you guys believe in possession?" Monica looked stunned.
Thalia and Percy shared a look and shrugged. "Yeah, kind of," Percy replied, "we ah...we kind of have an experience with magic."
"How?" Monica asked wonder replacing her tired state.
"It's a long story," Thalia replied avoiding the subject, "listen Monica we want to help you, but we can't do that if we don't what the hell is happening to you."
Monica looked at Percy and then Thalia. She sighed as tear started to come up, "I'm so stupid."
"Hey don't say that," Thalia reached in wiping away a falling tear drop, "you didn't asked to be possessed."
"No, I kind of did."
Percy blinked, "wait, what? You asked a demon to possess you?"
"Not literally," Monica seemed to fold into herself, afraid of whatever she was hiding.
"Monica," Thalia reached out holding her hand in comfort, "whatever it is, you can tell us. We want to help."
Monica looked at Thalia and then to Percy, she slowly nodded, "okay... damn, I don't even know where to begin."
"Preferably at the beginning," Percy said with a smile.
Thalia rolled her eyes, "I so knew you were going to say that."
Monica smiled, "yeah. Okay...well I suppose it all began over the summer. I-I'm kind of obsessed about magic, you know? So I like to spend time on the web searching for proof that it exists. And I eventually stumbled on a site which talked about ancient buildings spread across America and how they might be involved with the supernatural. And it mentioned...well it mentioned Yancy Academy."
"Wait what?!" Percy all but yelled, "this school?! Our school?!"
Monica nodded, "yeah, I acted the same way. After I calmned down I read a little more. What do you know about our school's history?"
Percy and Thalia shrugged, "not much," the daughter of lighting admitted.
"Me too, until I did a little research. You see this school was built in 1950 for the rich and wealthy families of New York. But you see the person who owned this land and the building wasn't even American."
Percy blinked, "say what now?"
"Yeah, and you will never guess who it was." Thalia and Percy waited on the edge of their seats, figuratively in Percy's case, "Winston Churchill."
"No way!" Thalia blinked in wonder, "the Winston Churchill built this place?!"
Monica nodded, "yeah, I don't know why, but he bought this land in 1950 and began construction immediately afterwards. He had a cousin in US to who he left the school too after his death, but apparently he was very hands on when it came to the construction of the school."
"So, the greatest prime minister of England built our school," Percy surmised, "but how does that help us? I mean that's amazing and all, but how does this relate to the freaking demon you now have possessing you?"
"It's because of what is under this building," Monica explained.
"And what is under it?" Thalia asked.
