"Introduction to Shiftcraft: Merging Witchcraft and Reality Shifting"

So, I’ve come up with this concept called Shiftcraft—it’s basically a mix of traditional witchcraft and reality shifting. You know how witchcraft is all about using energy, spells, and rituals to influence things? And then there's reality shifting, where people believe they can literally transfer their consciousness to other realities? Well, Shiftcraft blends the two to make the whole experience of shifting to different realities more powerful and effective.

What Exactly is Shiftcraft?

At its core, Shiftcraft takes the best parts of witchcraft and reality shifting and combines them. In witchcraft, you're working with energy—whether it’s personal, natural, or cosmic—using rituals, spells, herbs, crystals, and all that. Reality shifting is newer and focuses on moving your awareness from our reality to another, like your "desired reality" (DR), through specific techniques like meditation or visualization.

By bringing these two practices together, Shiftcraft creates a way to make shifting easier and more meaningful. You’re not just using your mind, you’re adding in the energy work, tools, and rituals from witchcraft to boost the whole process.

The Two Main Elements

Witchcraft is all about controlling energy and intention. It’s deeply connected to nature, and people use rituals, spells, candles, herbs, and crystals to make things happen in both the physical and spiritual world. Some key practices from witchcraft that tie into Shiftcraft include:

Spell casting for focus and intent

Rituals to connect with natural forces or celestial events

Herbalism & crystal work to enhance energy manipulation

Sigils and candle magic to anchor your intentions

On the other hand, Reality Shifting is all about moving your consciousness into another reality, often a specific one you desire (like a perfect version of your life, a dream world, or even fictional universes). People use techniques like:

The Raven Method, where you meditate and count backward to slip into a new reality

Visualization and scripting, where you imagine your DR or write out detailed descriptions of it to make it more "real"

The Pillow Method, where you set intentions while you sleep

How Shiftcraft Brings it All Together

Shiftcraft is about using the magical elements of witchcraft to supercharge reality shifting. Here’s how:

Focused Intention and Energy: In both witchcraft and shifting, your intention is everything. With Shiftcraft, you enhance that focus by using spells, symbols, or crystals to sharpen your visualization and intent when trying to shift realities.

Energy Work: Witchcraft teaches you how to work with energy—whether it’s from nature, yourself, or even the moon. You use this energy in Shiftcraft to align yourself more easily with the reality you're trying to shift into, making the transition smoother.

Symbols and Rituals: Witchcraft uses symbols and objects as anchors for intentions. In Shiftcraft, you can use things like sigils or crystals that represent your DR to strengthen the connection. You might even do specific rituals, like lighting a candle or meditating on a symbol, to focus your energy before trying to shift.

Routine and Practice: Both practices need consistency. So, in Shiftcraft, you build a routine—maybe every night, you light candles, meditate, and practice a shifting technique. Over time, this structure helps strengthen your ability to move between realities.

Empowerment Through Belief: Witchcraft is big on believing in your personal power. In Shiftcraft, this belief is super important. You need to believe that you can actually shift and that you have the ability to explore these other realities. Confidence makes a huge difference in both magic and shifting.

How You Can Use Shiftcraft in Practice

If you’re into reality shifting but want to take it further, Shiftcraft offers some cool ways to integrate magical practices into your shifting:

Spells for Shifting: You could create spells that specifically help with shifting, like spells for mental clarity, better visualization, or opening a portal to your desired reality.

Altar for Shifting: Set up a small altar dedicated to shifting. You could place crystals, candles, or objects that represent your DR. This acts as a physical space to anchor your intentions and focus your energy.

Sigils: Create a sigil (a magical symbol) that represents your desired reality. Draw it out, meditate on it, or even place it under your pillow to keep it active in your subconscious while you try to shift.

Moon Phase Work: If you want to time your shifting with nature’s rhythms, you could sync your practices with the moon phases. For example, the full moon might give extra energy for manifestation, while the new moon could be good for setting fresh intentions.

Herbs and Crystals: Some herbs (like mugwort for dreamwork) or crystals (like amethyst for psychic protection) can help with altered states of consciousness or spiritual journeys. You could make teas, burn incense, or set up crystal grids to enhance your shifting attempts.

Why Shiftcraft?

The idea behind Shiftcraft is that it gives you more control and power over the reality-shifting process. Rather than just hoping to shift, you’re combining magic and energy work with shifting techniques to increase your chances of success. You’re drawing on centuries of witchcraft practice to make something more modern—reality shifting—even more effective.

And of course, Shiftcraft encourages doing this ethically and with self-care in mind. It’s important to approach it with respect for the energies involved, and also take care of your mental and emotional well-being.

In the end, Shiftcraft is all about empowering you to explore the boundaries of reality and consciousness, using a blend of the old and the new. It’s a tool for those who want to dig deeper into their shifting practice and make it even more powerful.

Part 4: Tag You're It

I examine him for a concussion. "come come he's alright now dearie, come sit and eat" Trufflehunter says placing a bowl on the table "thank you." " what are you two doing here anyways?" "Running away" Caspian answered for us , the dwarf and badger shared a look

"my uncle has always wanted my throne. I suspect I've only lived this long because he did not have an heir of his own" caspian continues as he stirs his soup "that changes things... means we dont have to kill you ourselves" nikibrisk adds "your right" "Im sorry?" Caspian rushes

to the enterance of the home and puts his armour back on "you can't just let the kill you Caspian, the professor didnt train us for this moment just so you can go get yourself killed" "you're meant to save us" "dont you get it he won't stop until i'm dead" "don't you know

what this is?" trufflehunter asks Caspian making him turn back to us "it's a horn." he states matter a factly just before he runs out the home "I won't let him leave" "then you might need this" nikibrisk says

handing me the sword "just use it to knock him out" "Im alright thank you" "suit yourself" I get out following him "where do you plan to go?" "I don't know" " then why don't you at least come back inside and eat

before we go?" "we?" " yes we, both of us have a target on our backs now thaat I've helped you escape, besides I promised you I'd be there for you, remember" "that was a childs promise" "not to me besides you know you need me you cant cook to save your life" "that is true"

"you'd never be able to shake me off, your stuck with me" he steps forward "I think one day I would" "your logic is off, you hit your head remember?" he lets out a laugh, I take his hand and lead him back inside "so you did manage to bring him back" "Nikibrisk."

trufflehunter scolds "don't worry we're jut in for the meal, we can't stay long they might do worse to you if your taking care of us" "I actually do agree with him on that" "so you won't help us?" "Im sorry I wouldnt even know where to begin, we have no army behind us, it's

just the two of us" "we, have an army, it's not much, just whats left of the narnians" "theres more of you?" I inquire curiously "not as many as there used to be before you telmarines invaded, but yes" nikibrisk answered "aren't you in line for the throne?"

"yes but thats just it the stories of narnia that have been told to us since childhood, they don't exactly favor Narnians, no one will go for it" we all start eating letting the arguement cool down for a moment "would you be willing to lead an army, it would help you stake your

claim for the throne and be beneficial for all the lives of narnia" Trufflehunter pipes up while retrieving our dishes "I have never lead an army, I could lead you all to extinction" "but you could Caspian, I've seen you train soldiers you were born to lead, you were raised to

be king, kings lead armies you know this I know but showing them that a telmarine prince would be willing to bring them out from beneath the shadows would show them that there is a chance to bring them back to what Narnia used to be, the narnia I know you love hearing about"

"I need to think about it, we should comeback by nightfall" he walks out and I thank them before following him out knowing they would give us a 5 minute head start, letting him believe he actually has that freedom we walk in silence for a while before he speaks up

"did you actually believe everything you said in there?" I stop to look at him "I wouldnt have said it unless it were true or else I would be leading you to your death" "what mkes you think I will?" "because I know you Caspian, you do the right thing even if it scares you or you

end up all bloodied up, that's what you've always done" "come here" I walk closer to him and hug him around the neck "I can hear you" we pull away towards the noise "sorry to interrupt this lovely moment but we were about to risk losing the both of you" Trufflehunter replies

"you are really convincing" nikibrisk tells me " we should wait for the kings and queens" he continues walking in front of us "Fine! Go then! See if the other will be just as understanding" "or we can come with you I do want to see how you explain things to the mintaurs." nikibrisk

adds "seriously I can only do so much" I tell them "minotaurs?" he stops "they're real?" "I told you I wasn't lying!" "and very bad tempered" "not to mention big, huge" "what about centaurs? do they still exist?"

"the centuars will probably fight on your side but theres no telling what the others will do" tells truthfully "what about Aslan, Is he real aswell?" I ask they share a look. "how do you know so much about us? nikibrisk counters "Stories"

"your father has told you stories bout Narnia?" no, our professor tells us not the most recent ones and old books" "I'm sorry but these are not the questions you should be asking" Caspian continues walking I follow, not wanting to be so close to the awkward atmosophere

"what is it?" "human" "them?" "no, soldiers" we take off on a run "stay low!" we hear some one collapse they turn heading towards trufflehunter "no, I'll go, you're who they're after Caspian, go" I reach the badger "no take it go its more important than I am he says

handing me the horn" "no" I say putting my bow on my shoulder picking up the badger. all the sudden a soldier falls and lets out a scream causing the soldier to change their focus on whatever was attacking them. I run off once again sheilding the badger with my

body as they continue to come after us until I reach nikibrisk and hand him over to him "take care of him" I start shooting at the soldiers left until the last one left started panicing slaying the plants around him I threw my bow and arrows to the side as I took my sword

from it's sheath I fell quickly on my back before I could even get it out "Lex!" I hear Caspian call "Choose your last words carefully Telmarine" I let our a breath "how did you take them all down?" "finally something new" he answered sarcastically "pick up your sword" "no

thank you I'm not an idiot" "I will not fight an unarmed man much less a woman" "which is why I have the chance to live longer I am not about to lose that chance" "I didn't say i would let you live" "you said you wouldn't fight me, I pay attention" "Let. her. go."

"you know im doing just fine on my own Cas" I say putting my hands behind my head "don't tempt him he was a miniture sword" "Reepicheep! stay your blade" "Trufflehunter? I trust you have a very good reason for this untimely interruption"

"oh please as if you'd kill a woman much less one unarmed" " maybe but him I would for sure" "he doesn't go ahead" "why am I not surprised i mutter underneath my breath "he's the one who blew the horn." "what?" "then let him bring it forward." I hear turning towards

the voice "this is the reason we have gathered" I turn towards the mouse "I'd appreciate it if I could get up" "right sorry miss"

It's better if you play the song when I point it out

Alex POV

Mrs. Dodds was charging at Percy from across the gym and I couldn't move no matter what, it was like my feet were glued to the floor with the world's strongest super glue, as she slaughtered Percy while I watched, And I couldn't do anything. All I could do was watch as she tore him limb from limb and scream in agony.

my eyes opened only to find myself trapped in between Aiden's chest and arms I started to turn around and started to gently pull Aiden's hands apart trying to free myself from his grasp. which only made him hold onto me tighter "where are you going?" he groaned "for a walk" I say turning around to see if he was awake to find his green eyes staring into my brown ones "why?" "I need to clear my mind" he shook his head saying" "but isn't it past curfew?" "yeah but I know how to avoid getting caught beside it like 3-4 in the morning, no one's around the shift has been over for an hour or so" "how'd you know all this?" "lets just as I take a lot of walks around this time" " so you're dead set on doing this?" "yes sir" he lets me go I grab my jacket and hair tie from the coffee table and I slip on a pair of high tops.

(A/N: play music now)

Just as I was about to get out I hear Aiden zipping up his hoodie "hold up! I'm coming!" he says jogging to catch up with me. I press a finger to my lips knowing that we cant make a single noise while we're in the building. I take his hand leading him out of the building out into the field. "how come you do this a lot?" I sigh "you know how I have ADHD?" "yeah?" "well that's not the only thing, I have Insomnia" "oh" "yeah, and ever since a couple of months ago I've been having night terrors whenever I can get any sleep" "that's why you woke up?" "yeah" "so the walks help with that?" "Yeah, usually when I just can't sleep I read" he chuckles smiling down on me "but then when that's no help and the night terrors I go for a walk" "what are you reading this week then?" "Pride and Prejudice" "Jane Austen?" "well done young padawan" "thank you master" we both started laughing so hard that we forgot that we had to be quiet. "who's there?!" a staff member asked "come on," I say grabbing his hand running to the rooftop it was always deserted so what better place.

By the time we got there we were panting from all the running, I let go of his hand and lay down patting the space next to me. He laid down next to me " this place is one of the places I come here to hide out no one knows about this place except for me, and now; you" "it's an honor" "oh shut up Banks, but if you tell anyone about this place I will hunt you down" he took a dramatic gasp "do you have absolutely no faith in me Ms.Jackson" he commented dramatically "I'm serious" " okay I got it our place" "yeah um about that" I say sitting up taking my view off the stars and looking into his eyes preparing myself for his reaction. He sits up "I'm not gonna be going here next year" "oh" "yeah; vicious circle getting expelled" "what happened?" "a series of things, they just added up" he shakes his head "we're gonna miss you around here" "what I'm about to say is gonna sound so cliche, you won't believe it. but I mean it. you ready?" "yeah shoot" "promise me that me going to another school isn't gonna change anything; every year this happens and well no one really understood me and Percy no one really even tried but this year you became someone I want in my life.

someone I can rely on is scaring me cause my motto is; the more people that come into your life the easier it is for them to hurt you and walk out on you. Promise that we'll stay friends and if we stop then for any other reason but not because we won't have any reason to, not because we won't see each other as much." " I promise I cant usually promise much to many people but for you, I would promise anything you're my best friend, but you ask such an easy tiny promise." he chuckles hugging you I laugh sniffling he puts his hands on my face wiping the tears out of the corners of my eyes.

"so um when you said that, only you and I know about this place does that mean that Percy doesn't know about this place?" "yeah, why" "I just wanted to make sure" I chuckled "right" "what do you usually do while your up here?" "look up at the stars, looking for the constellations, think about life, read" "you know some constellations?" "Yeah, like the big and little dipper," I say pointing to where they were "how do you know these?" "when I was little I got a book from a library around our apartment and started to look for them with my mom. And the first one we found was the big dipper and now whenever I look up at the stars it reminds me of when things were simpler, but then when I look up at the north star and I think, it's what everyone and everything revolves around" "do you know the story?" "yeah, why do you want storytime?" "yep!" "okay well In Roman mythology, the Big Dipper is associated with the beautiful nymph Callisto who gave birth to the son of Jupiter. Juno, the wife of Jupiter, turned Callisto into a bear out of jealousy to punish Callisto and to rid her of her beauty. but In one version of the story, Callisto would come across her child all grown up many years later, but Just as her son was about to slay his own mother, Jupiter would appear and avert the situation by placing them both amongst the stars." "what other constellations do you know?" "well there's vela, Andromeda, Aquila; Eagle, Cygnus; which you'll know as a swan, Hercules, lupus; a wolf, pegasus, phoenix, & sagitta; arrow" "Woah" " oh hold on".

Aiden's POV

I reach into my pocket to find a call from my mom, I get up and go to a dark corner "hey Aiden" "hey mom what's up?" "well we got some news for you" " good or bad" "we're moving" "what where?!" "New York" "What!?" "yeah well we thought it was time that you go camp half-blood, it's closer to your grandmother, and you already go there almost every 3-4 months, I got a job offer it pays well" "this is amazing but I thought you said I wasn't ready for CHB" "well the older you get the harder it gets to hide you and I was wrong. look I gotta go tell your siblings" "okay thanks mom!" and just like that we hang up I run towards Alex pick her up and spin her around a few times " IM MOVING TO NEW YORK!"

Alex's POV

"I swear if this is a joke" "I'm not" then we both start laughing at how lucky we got. he sets me down and looks at the stairs, I move my eyes to find some type of monster it looked like something from Greek mythology. it had the body of a man but had the head of a bull.  I tapped my sword charm for a sword Aiden pushing me behind him almost immediately; with a sword in hand. he charged at the bull-headed man. then it all clicked. It was a minotaur, and I knew his weakness. the minotaur focused his energy on Aiden. his back was faced to me I charged at the minotaur and cut at the skin deep enough that it would need stitching so it would make it slow down even more.

only to find yellow powder coming out just like it did with Mrs.Dodds. the cut behind the knees made him stumble almost falling on his back but while it was struggling it turned to face me. I took the opportunity and jabbed him in the heart while Aiden stabbed him the small of his back causing the monster to disintegrate right in front of us. I shrunk the sword back into a harmless little charm as he shrunk it back into a key chain that he had always carried around "charm bracelet?" "key chain?" we panted laughing till we  "WHO"S THERE" "god! okay, follow me I jump off the rooftop to hold onto a tree and climb down a bit ready to catch him if he doesn't make it "jump!" "you're insane!" "can we discuss my mental health later!" he shakes his head and jumps off the rooftop and lands on the tree "yes! come on!" we climb down the tree and run back to the dorms. we tread carefully through the hallways and head back to the dorm room. "I've done a lot of stupid and reckless things in my life but that tops everything" "that's saying a lot" "hey! ; have you ever done that?" " gotten caught no, jumped off a rooftop" I pause for dramatic effect "no" "seriously!" "come on it wasn't that big of a jump" "you have to be one of the most insane yet brilliant people I know" "aww thanks" "what time is it?" "4:30 why?" "you have exams tomorrow" "did you forget that I have a photographic memory I know exactly what I'm doing even in math" he laughs knowing how much I hate math "classic lex" "now you go to sleep" "I will but only if you try to go to sleep" "okay but only because after tonight your gonna be dead asleep" " but you will try?" "yes, I promise" "k good no reading until then" I move my head off to the side and my eyes moving with.

"please" "please don't make me do this" "what gets you a chance or possible sleep" "look I love you and all. But seriously please?" "don't look at me like that" I kept staring at him, with an even more desperate look in my eyes "no, please, no stop" he whined begging me to stop as he shut his eyes " no you are gonna try to sleep okay; now come on," he says walking towards me opening his eyes and dragging me to the bed and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind "you are going to sleep," he says closing his eyes for the final time that night, my eyes closing along with his.

"Nice place" "thanks; I just made some popcorn if you're interested?" "Sure" I took the extra popcorn bowl we had inside the microwave and gave him some "thanks" Percy gave me a ''how dare you" to look while I just smiled. "Well I'm gonna go I gotta go talk with

Grover, it was nice to meet you Aiden" "you too" Percy grabbed his jacket knowing how cold it could get in Grover's room, and left. "blue?" "family inside joke" "ah" "so tell me how things are in texas?' "they're good but they keep asking when they're gonna meet you?" I

blushed at his words meaning that either he could have told his family about me or Lilith. "well hopefully soon I wanna meet them too" he smiled then his eyes went to my wrist saying "that's new," he says pointing at my bracelet "yep" he put aside his popcorn and

grabbed his guitar saying "I've been wanting to show you something but I was wondering if you wanted to write the lyrics together I've already got something but lyrics are your territory-" " you don't even have to ask" he chuckled "show me what you got so far," I said grabbing

a piece of paper and a pen he grabbed my hand before I could even uncap the pen making me look up at him "listen to it first, then we start writing" "okay" he gave my hand a slight squeeze before pulling away to start strumming his guitar all I

could be is in awe of his talent, the amount of emotion that was in the song that I could basically see lyrics coming out of the guitar strings as he played and sang. "What do you think?" "it's unbelievable! what inspired you cuz whatever you did" I giggled

"it worked!"I thought about someone I met just recently over here" "well whoever it is don't lose her if they inspired you to write that amazing of a song".

(time skip) "hey it's getting late I should get going" "your free to stay if you want" "no it's fine I don't wanna impose" "it doesn't come, on Percy won't be back until tomorrow" "I thought he was only gonna go talk to a friend" "yeah well they usually end

up sleeping over when they go talk because of the whole curfew thing around here" "okay yeah, I'll stay over" "great got any clothes" "yep got that covered" "great the bathroom's over there" "thanks" he squeezed my hand before he went over to the bathroom to go change into his clothes.

"Movie night?!" "Sure!" and just like that I go over to the fridge to find my cake that I had made just yesterday and some milk and served us each a slice. "what do you wanna watch?" "well, I've been wanting to watch star wars?" " strangely I was thinking the

same thing" I laughed saying "then why didn't you mention it before?" "I wanted you to choose" "your logic makes no sense" "I'll put in the movie you go change" "thanks Aid I say grabbing my clothes from my drawer next to my bed and head into the bathroom to change.

"come on Lex! its starting!" "I'm coming, I'm coming," I say running then jumping onto the bed not wanting to miss a single moment of the movie "here," he says passing me my food "thanks"

Aiden's POV

towards the end, I noticed that Alex had gotten a little tired but she and her stubbornness didn't wanna turn off the movie so we kept watching it only for me to find her asleep with her head on my shoulder. I carefully pulled the blanket on us, I kissed her forehead, pulled her closer and fell asleep.

Another Jackson part 3

Authors note: i dont own any of the characters besides Parker, Alexandra, Lilith, and Aiden this is only based off the first percy jackson book

word count:1358 A/N: I made a playlist on Spotify its called: Another Jackson . . .

For the rest of the school year, the entire campus seemed to be pulling some kind of prank on me and Percy, even Parker and Grover. the students acted as if Mrs.Kerr - a Perky woman whom I had never seen in my life until she got onto our bus

that day during our field trip - had been our new pre-algebra teacher since Christmas. it didn't make sense. every time we mentioned Mrs.Dodds to Parker and Grover they would hesitate and claim that she didn't exist but they were both terrible liars. I didn't have much time to think

about it with all that was going on in my life but at night visions of Mrs.Dodds with talons and leathery wings would wake me up if I ever got any sleep.

Percy and I kept on getting into more fights with Nancy Bobofit and her friends. We were sent out into the hallway for almost every class. one day Percy couldn't take it anymore. He snapped. In English when our English teacher Mr.Nicoll asked him for the Millionth time why

he was too lazy to study for the spelling tests; then it happened, he called him an old sot knowing him he probably didn't know what that meant but hey he did it anyway. Then they made it official. They sent our mom a letter which said the following: we

would not be welcomed back into Yancy Academy next year. I brushed it off by making a joke to bring a little light into the situation "hey at least we won't be stuck with seven years of bad luck" but honestly we were used to it being like this.

I was homesick. I wanted to be with my mother in our little apartment, even if I had to put up with having to go to public school which didn't seem that bad and our obnoxious step-brother and his stupid, idiotic poker parties.

But. . .

there were things I would miss here at the academy; like the view out the window that would look out to the woods in my dorm room. the Hudson River in the distance, the smell of pine trees. I'd miss my friends: Grover and Parker, even if they were a

little weird they were good friends. I'd miss Latin - well more like Mr.Brunner's crazy tournament days and his insane belief that I and Percy could do well exams got closer. I kept my promise to Mr.Brunner and I helped Percy Study Latin since that was the only subject

he would let me help him with. What Mr.Brunner had told us, about what he was teaching would be vital for our survival. I was starting to believe him and Percy probably was too. there were things I would miss here at the academy; like the view out the

He was teaching would be vital for our survival. I was starting to believe him and Percy probably was too. we were studying with some light music in the back to help study as this usually helps him study but then a couple of minutes in Percy threw a book

across the dorm room missing my head by an inch "What The Hell" I said as I jumped "sorry" he murmured as he started pacing across the room "it's fine, at least we know you have a good arm huh" "yeah" "what's wrong?" "dyslexia" "well I'm no good

at explaining like Mr.Brunner, why don't you go ask him, I would but I'm terrible at explaining" he chuckled saying "You really are" he went over grabbed the book beside me kissed the top of my head as he always does whenever he's apologizing "sorry sis" "it's okay, now

go, go get your answers" I say pushing him out of our dorm room. I change the music and start to try to figure out the charm bracelet once more. Every time I took it off to go take a shower and I had left it there it would reappear

on my wrist as if I never took it off. No matter how cute it was, it was starting to get annoying. I knew Percy was going to be back in a few minutes thirty at the most so might as well surprise him with a snack: blue caramel popcorn.

a few minutes in and the caramel was blue and had been poured onto the popcorn. "hey I'm back, wait a minute, I know that smell" "that's right blue caramel popcorn!" "you're the Best! he says, taking his bowl I shrug my shoulders "I try" "can tell you something?" "Sure" he took a deep breath before saying " I overheard Mr.Brunner and Grover

talking about us, they think that we're in some kind of danger" "what do you mean?" "I don't know they said that you might be ready for something but that I need more maturing but that they wouldn't separate us, that they couldn't and they mentioned something about a something

called a kindly one being in the school something about-" "hold up did you say kindly one" "yeah why?" "I've heard that before, come on," I say grabbing my jacket he follows close behind me as we reach the library. I go sit down at a desk, opening up a

computer and searching "kindly ones" on google "what is it? why'd you drag me down here?" "kindly ones, also known as furies" I clicked on images and found something that looked like the thing Mrs.Dodds had turned into:

"Why does that look familiar?" "Cause that's what Mrs.Dodds turned into" "but I thought I just hallucinated it" " both of us seeing the same thing" I shook my head the said " not possible Perce" "but-" "but nothing" then all of a sudden the librarian; Lilith came up to us

"time to go, the library is closing and it's time to go to bed" "okay thank you Lilith" "yeah thanks Lilith" "it's Mrs. Banks to you Mr.Jackson" "sorry" he said embarrassed while I just laughed. As we got out of the library I thought; another person I would miss, Lilith.

Lilith had grown to be a good friend of mine, I helped her around the library, she told me stories about her past, we gave each other book recommendations. I had even met her grandson; Aiden Banks. He was a good guy, a year older, he wasn't much of a reader

but he still read to his grandmother and helped around the library. "hey Lex" I looked up from staring at my shoes to find Aiden holding a guitar. I ran to him he quickly set down his guitar and quickly grabbed me as I tackled him in a hug.

"What are you doing here Aiden?" "oh so you're not happy to see me?" "Shut up you know I am," he chuckled, spinning me around before setting me down "well if you have to know I'm here to see you and my grandmother, who's this?" "oh right sorry well Aiden,

this is Percy my brother; Percy this is Aiden Banks he's Lilith's grandson" "nice to meet you Percy" "finally I meet Aiden!" I narrow my eyes giving Percy the "I'm gonna kill you" eyes "aww you've mentioned me to your brother" "maybe, maybe not" I say opening the dorm room and stepping inside.

Another Jackson part 2

Authors note: i dont own any of the characters besides Parker and Alexandra this is only based off the first percy jackson book

word count: 1669

walk up to Mr.Brunner. He had this look in his eyes, one that I wouldn't forget easily. intense brown eyes that seemed like they could have been a thousand years old and that they had witnessed everything there is to see. "you must learn the answer to my question"

Mr.Brunner told us "about the titans?" Percy asked, it appeared both of us didn't know exactly what he meant "about real life. and how your studies apply to it" "oh" well that's vague "what you learn from me is vitally important and I expect both of you to treat

it as such. I will only accept the best from you two" I wanted to be angry but I couldn't not when the look he was giving us reminded me of a worried father. Then I thought about what must be running through Percy's mind he had both ADHD

and dyslexia while I only had ADHD and I got the easier road by having a photographic memory I put my hand on his shoulder not wanting him to cause a scene we told him that we'd do our best and that I would help Percy with this "you two

should head back and have lunch" he said dismissing us turning his head and took one long sad look at the stele like he had been at the girl's funeral. the class gathered at the front of the museum where we could see the traffic of all the cars overhead

there was a storm brewing with clouds that were blacker than normal but shrugged it off since the weather has been all over the place since Christmas. we split up I went to the side of the museum where parker was waiting for me while he headed to Grover in

an effort to not appear a part of the school, the school for loser freaks who couldn't make it anywhere else. While we ate we had girl talk "so far so good looks like you and Perce (A/N: it's pronounced pierce for anyone that's wondering) will be able to

stay for next year" "hopefully and if we do worst-case scenario seven years bad luck" we laughed at that until something caught my attention, Nancy was surrounded with water and in less than a second she was sitting in the fountain screaming "Percy pushed me!" I didn't even bother to

see if Parker was following I rushed to the scene knowing if anyone could get him out of trouble or in any less trouble it was me. I pushed through the crowd some kids were whispering "did you see that-" "-the water-" "it was as if it grabbed her-"

"are you guys okay?" I asked the two boys "yeah we're fine" Percy answered in shock "you sure I say examining them "Grover tells her, please" "he's fine Alex but me, on the other hand, I think I hurt my arm" "stop lying you big doof" " how did you know

I was lying" "well first of all you just proved it and you have a tell" "what where?" "I'm not telling you" "Mr.Jackson" "I know" he grumbled "A month of erasing textbooks" "come with me" "wait" it couldn't have been no matter how good of a friend

"it was me". Grover. I looked at him stunned and probably everyone else as well Mrs.Dodds scared him to death so it shocked me and Percy more than everyone else she glared at him as she said "I don't think so Mr.Underwood" "but-" "but nothing you-will-stay-here" "its okay

thanks man" "honey; NOW" the woman barked I walked with my brother "not you Ms.Jackson your brother only" "no anything that concerns my brother concerns me vice versa I will follow whether you like it or not." I said standing my ground leaving everyone shocked including my twin, no

one had ever stood up to Mrs.Dodds until now "very well Ms.Jackson as you wish" I nodded my head once in appreciation and followed them into the building at the end of the entrance at first I thought "okay so she's gonna make him buy Nancy a shirt

at the gift shop" but that wasn't the case. we followed her deeper into the museum leading us back into the greek and roman section. no one was in here except for the three of us. she stood in front of a big marble frieze of the greek gods as

if she was trying to intimidate us which was clearly not working. she was making this weird noise in her throat it kind of sounded like growling to me. She looked at the frieze as if she wanted to pulverize it if she looked at it any harder she just

might have. "you have been giving us problems honey" Percy did the safest thing to do and replied "yes ma'am" she tugged on the cuffs of her leather jacket as she simply yet vaguely stated, "Did you really think that you could get away with it?" there was a look

in her eye, one that made her look mad, evil, you name it. but she wouldn't hurt us, right? she's a teacher but I wouldn't hesitate to fight back if it meant defending us "I- I'll try harder ma'am" at that point Percy was scared, I was the only one

that could do that " we are not the fools you think are Percy Jackson. It was only a matter of time before we found you; confess now and you will suffer less" a flash of shock and fear flashed through Percy's eyes as he thought of the possibilities of things

they could have figured out that could get him in trouble. "Percy what's she talking about? what did you do?" "well?" Mrs.Dodds says completely ignoring me "ma'am I don't . . . " "your time is up" then the most bizarre thing happened. her eyes started glowing like burning coals. her fingers stretched

until they turned into talons. her jacket melted into leathery wings. she wasn't human. she was a shriveled-up hag with bat wings and claws along with a mouth full of yellow fangs and she was about to kill us. then things got weirder Mr.Brunner came in who had just

been in front of the museum he had just tossed Percy a pen and he tossed me a charm bracelet Mrs.Dodds lunged at Percy he yelped as he dodged and felt talons scratch at the air where Percy's ear had just been. He caught the pen in the air

and it turned into a sword immediately I caught the bracelet Mr.Brunner had thrown me hoping it was something that could help me fight against Mrs.Dodds "touch the sword charm!" Mr.Brunner yelled at me I touched it and it turned into a sword falling out of the bracelet's grip.

I caught it as soon as it appeared Mrs. Dodds Turned towards Percy with a murderous look in her eyes. of course he went after the "weak" one in this he was shaking I charged at her from behind and stabbed her in the back right where her heart should

be as if it was something that was completely natural the sword pierced through like water, at the last second Percy hit her shoulder in a second she exploded into yellow powder and vaporized on the spot leaving nothing but the smell of sulfur, a dying screech and a chill

of evil in the air as if those two glowing red eyes were still watching us. Percy hugged me tightly so tightly I couldn't breathe for a few seconds "are you okay?" he asks "am I okay are you seriously asking that question I should be asking you that!" " thanks

to you, yeah if it wasn't for you I'd be dead" "don't say that" "yes mom" I hit his shoulder as we looked around trying to find Mr.Brunner but we couldn't find him I looked down at Percy's hand to find him holding the pen our Latin teacher threw

at him with his hands shaking "hey, we're okay perce your okay" he shook his head yes. I noticed that the Sword I had transformed back into a charm and was back in its place in the bracelet making it seem as if this hadn't just happened but I know

what happened nothing would change that. it started to rain by the time we got back outside. Grover was sitting by the fountain using a museum map as an umbrella. Bobofit was still soaked from her little swim in the water fountain grumbling to her friends but by the time

what happened nothing would change that. it started to rain by the time we got back outside. Grover was sitting by the fountain using a museum map as an umbrella. Bobofit was still soaked from her little swim in the water fountain grumbling to her friends but by the time

she saw us she pointed her finger at Percy and said "I hope Mrs.Kerr whipped your butt" "that would be assault Bobofit" I said rolling my eyes "who?" Percy asked "our teacher. duh!" I blinked we had no teacher named Mrs.Kerr Percy tried asking Nancy but she just

scoffed and turned away I turned to find Mr.Brunner in the same spot that we had left him, he was reading his book under his red umbrella as if nothing had happened Percy went over to him he looked up a bit distracted in the end Percy gave him

back the pen when Percy came back to me he said "there's no Mrs.Dodds according to everyone" "but there is at least was we just slayed her there's no way" "it could just be our imagination" "both of us imagining the same thing not in a million years perce" "how else would you explain it" "I don't know okay! I just know it couldn't have just been our imagination".

Another Jackson

word count:1752

Authors note: i dont own any of the characters besides Parker and Alexandra this is only based off the first percy jackson book

My name is Alex Jackson. Short for Alexandra

I'm 12 years old. I have a Twin brother named Percy; I know what you are thinking, are we identical? What is it like? we're fraternal, I got my mother's eyes while my brother got father's green eyes; having a twin brother can be nice yet annoying he can be overprotective even though I'm the one who's better at fighting (a hobby of mine) but I tolerate it since he's my brother and it sucks when we fight. Until a few months ago I was a boarding student at a boarding school called Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York City.

are the Jackson's troubled kids

sure, you can say that. I can start at any point in my short life and might as well start at the point of where it all started. . . .

"come on we're gonna be late" " I'm coming, Percy!" "Why do you do make-up it's pointless!!" Percy groaned "It's not Pointless make-up that can do so many things right now it's an effortless yet powerful one. Just doing one thing can make such a difference but yet again you wouldn't

understand" I say fixing my eyebrows ''how is that" he points to your eyebrows "gonna do anything?" "by the shape I'm going for its gonna make me look more powerful" "right-" "okay come on!" one of my best friends Parker says "but I'm not done" " yes you are they're flawless

your perfectionist side is showing" "THANK YOU PARKER!" he says hugging her. We all walk into the cafeteria to be met by Grover; The Jackson's other best friend "come on let's go get breakfast" Grover says slinging his arm over my shoulder the four of us walk over to the

line for breakfast "what can I get for you Alex?" "can I get a coffee and a chocolate chip muffin, please Gretel" she poured some coffee into a mug and grabbed a napkin and the muffin and handed them to me as I handed the money to the cashier.

I waited for them to get their breakfast before we went to sit down at our usual table. "today is the field trip right?" Parker asked unsure "yeah" " thank god it's Mr.Brunner" of course Percy thinks that. I couldn't stop feeling like something was gonna happen today as if

someone was watching us. I looked around once in a while trying to not draw attention to us "Alex" "are you okay?" "yeah I'm okay Grover" "you spaced out there for a second sis, you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just something that feels off '''' well these things are usually

right with you, what is it?" parker said intrigued while Percy put his hand on my arm and looked at me concerningly. I grabbed a pencil and some paper from my bag and started to write: something's off about today, & someone was watching us and I mean closely; Percy saw

what It said as I was writing. I passed the note to Grover and Parker while they read I made small talk with Percy trying to make everything seem as normal as possible, while the other two read the note as if it was lyrics I had written wanting their

opinion (which wouldn't be unusual since I'm a musician) they smiled and nodded as they handed me the note back, I put it safely into my backpack. "We'll just have to be careful" Grover said whispering we started talking again as we ate. The bell rang signaling that breakfast was

over and that we should all head to our class, we all walked to our Latin class which was Mr.Brunner's class. Luckily he was the one leading this trip so we had hoped it wouldn't be a boring trip. Mr.Brunner was this middle-aged guy in a motorized wheelchair.

He had thick auburn hair and a scruffy beard, along with a frayed tweed jacket to accompany his jacket that always smelled of coffee. At first glance, you would think he'd be cool but he told us stories, told jokes, and let us play games. He also had this collection

of roman armor and weapons that he'd sometimes bring in on rare occasions. Most importantly he was the only teacher that wouldn't put Percy to sleep. I would like to HOPE that we wouldn't get in some sort of trouble during the field trip but we're the Jackson's it's nearly

impossible for us to not get into some sort of trouble besides with the feeling I got there was no way; we had a history of getting into trouble on these things. On the bus, we had assigned seats Mr.Brunner knew of our history with field trips and sat

me with Grover In hopes of having him be a good luck charm while Percy was seated with Parker probably wishing parker to be the same. Nancy Bobofit hit Grover in the head with her peanut butter and jelly sandwich the second time I grabbed the bag with the sandwich

in the bag right before it hit Grover's head looking in front of me knowing it would have a pattern. I squished the sandwich in front of her and dropped the bag in her lap "there enjoy your lunch Bobofit" "inepta mendici" I cursed under my breath not wanting anyone

to know how well I actually know Latin "Thanks" "anytime" I said smiling "someone had to put her back to her place" I then turned to face the window and back into my thoughts "Grover was an easy target; The reasons were quite obvious he was scrawny and cried easily

and to top it all off, he was Crippled. He had a permanent PE note for the rest of his life because of this muscular disease in his leg, everytime he took a step must've caused him pain he didn't deserve this if anything Nancy did, maybe then she'd have

some manners. but when it was Enchilada day at the academy, I chuckled at my thought, he ran to them as if his life depended on it. Mr.Brunner led the tour of the museum showing us around pointing out a few things that would be on the test giving

us a few facts that would count as extra credit "it's amazing how this stuff has survived 2-3 thousand years huh Alex" I made the "Blowed my mind thing" and chuckled as Mr.Brunner led the class around a four-meter tall stone column with a big sphinx on the very

top and started telling us that it was a grave marker a stele for a girl our age. No matter how hard we tried to listen we couldn't with all the talk that was around us and I actually wanted to listen because what he was saying was interesting.

It didn't matter how many times Percy and I had told the class to shut up which were a few times considering the other chaperone teacher Mrs.Dodds was giving us the evil eye each time but for some reason, she not only gave Percy the harsher look but she

loved Bobofit while she thought of us as the devil's spawn which made math a living hell. Mrs.Dodds came here halfway through the year when our old teacher had a nervous breakdown, she was a little maths teacher from Georgia who always wore a leather jacket but she herself

broke down the southern belle image even if she's in her fifties. we had gotten multiple detentions from her one time she made Percy and me erase the answers in the math textbooks until midnight. I thought Mrs.Dodds wasn't human and Percy agreed with me. while Mr.Brunner was

going on about greek funeral art Nancy Bobofit snickered at the naked guy on the stele Percy and I both turned around annoyed out of our minds "would you Shut Up" Percy said annoyance laced his voice "show some respect Boba" the class laughed they were probably thinking something along

the lines "this should be good" Ms.jackson, Mr.Jackson did either of you have something to say?" Percy turned red but I was done being annoyed by bobofit "nothing sir" percy said, "I just thought that Nancy should show more respect" I say shrugging "in that case Ms.Jackson

would you mind telling us what this picture represents?" Nancy was across for me now smirking; I recognized the carving "it's Kronos eating his kids" I replied simply "because?" "because he was the titan king, he didn't trust his children and ate them because of a prophecy of which to

put it simply said they would be his downfall; but his wife hid zeus as a baby and instead of kronos eating Zeus he ate a rock. Later on, when Zeus grew up he tricked his father, Kronos into barfing up his brothers and sisters" Ewww! A girl said from

behind me, causing me to roll my eyes "there was a war between the gods and the Titans and in the end, the Gods won" just like that nancy's smirk was wiped off her face and a few snickers came from the group. Nancy Bobofit mumbled to a friend "like

we're gonna use this in real life. As if it's gonna be on our job applications '''' Mr.Jackson; please explain how Zeus tricked his father." "and to paraphrase to miss Bobofits question, does this matter in real life? "busted" Grover said, making the group chuckle "Zeus fed Kronos a mixture

of mustard and wine which made him disgorge his five other children of which were all grown up because they were immortal, they were undigested in the Titan's stomach. the gods defeated him and sliced him into pieces with his own scythe and scattered the remains of their father'' ''where?"

he thought for a second before he answered "I don't know" Mr.Brunner sighed disappointingly "Tartarus, the darkest place in the underworld. On that oh so happy note, lunchtime. Mrs. Dodds, would you lead us outside?" the group drifted off, the girls holding their stomachs the guys pushing each other

around and acting like idiots we regrouped with our friend but just before we were about to follow when Mr.Brunner called for my brother and I "go on-" "we'll catch up" "okay but you guys have to stop doing that" "seriously it's creepy" we laugh it off as we

Part 3: Tag You're It

I look around to find archers preparing to shoot at us “I’ll take the archers you take the guards!” I saw an arrow being shot in the direction of Destrier, Caspian’s horse I shot my arrow and watched as it broke the other one in half. I shot some more in hope to injure a few archers so we could make our escape. As we rode off to the village we heard fireworks; which could only mean one thing. A new Heir to the throne had been born. As we were almost out of the village we heard a man shout “A son! A son! Lady Prunaprismia has this night given Lord Miraz a son!” I heard horses which could only mean that the guards were intending to finish the job and kill Caspian. I looked at Caspian to see that he had realized what was going on his eyes were filled with hurt and shock but we had to keep going; he needed to survive. “Cas! We need to go now!” he nodded and we raced through the meadow where the guards were not as far away as we would have wished for them to be. We entered the forest where our chances of survival would be increased. When we had crossed the river our clothes stuck to us which made it easier for us to be nicked or shot at for the archers; I looked back to find that we were only a rivers distance away from them, we went back into the woods drying us as much as possible I ducked as I saw a branch would soon be coming into level with my face. But apparently, someone wasn’t paying attention to the forest, I heard a grunt behind me I stopped and waited till Destrier came closer to me, as much as seeing the boy being dragged by his foot amused me I had to stop Destrier before Caspain go even more hurt “shh its okay doux-doux its alright calm down” “doux-doux?” “sweet one, I read it in a book somewhere; you okay?” I say dismounting my horse Elpis to help him up “yeah I’m alright” just then we heard a creaking we shifted our gaze towards the noise to find two dwarfs, I readied my bow in case of threat “they’ve seen us” the blonde dwarf got closer to Caspian and he quickly backed away. The blonde dwarf’s eyes ent from Caspian to the horn and back to him. We hear horses the blond dwarf heads towards the guards but not before he says “take care of them!” his choice of words could really mean anything so as the dark-haired dwarf made his way towards Caspian I shot my arrow next to his head missing his nose by nearly a centimeter “that was a warning shot. Hurt him and the next one won’t be” “don’t worry I won’t hurt your little boyfriend if that’s what you want” I roll my eyes already used to people thinking that I and Caspian are together the dwarf comes closer to him I draw another arrow and aim it at the black-haired dwarf as he came closer to Caspian. Caspian reached for the horn and as he blew the horn the dwarf yelled “NO!” for a few seconds the sound rang through the forest before he took the horn away from Caspian he huffed angrily before saying “come on you two, inside” our horses hid in the shadow of the tree and I grabbed Caspian's hand helping him up. He stumbled into the house as I had to make sure to catch him if he fell. As we entered we were greeted by a badger named Trufflehunter who led us to a bed so I could treat Caspian's wounds “here” Trufflehunter says handing me some bandage, honey, and a wooden spoon “I would do it but I fear…” “Caspian” “Caspian is too alarmed to do so” “thank you, this might hurt a bit Cas” “nothing hurts when you’re around” I hear him mumble “how hard did you hit your head?” I say as a slight blush covers my cheeks chuckling I dip the wooden spoon once and close the jar and spread the honey on Caspian’s wound as honey has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. I then wrapped the bandage 2-3 times gently to not cut off his blood circulation “don't fall asleep, I suspect you might have a concussion” “thank you; for taking care of me” he says as he squeezed my hand looking into my eyes “you don’t need to thank me”

Part 2: Tag You're It

I felt someone shaking me awake as if they were in a hurry; I turned around quickly grabbing the dagger under my pillow and press it to the person's throat "I'm so sorry doctor!" I say withdrawing my dagger from his throat "don't apologize for being smart now come on its time" I grab the backpack hidden under a loose tile, one the doctor had me prepare in case there ever came the need to escape, but I was not the only one that had to escape this night. "we need to get Caspian" "if it's Caspian they're after then why do I need to go?" "he'll need the person he loves more, the person that will be able to get him to do what he needs to do; even when it seems like the exact opposite" I finish tying my boots and rush out the window "I'll meet you there" I climb out the window and carefully walk on the stone railing on the side of the castle, then when I get into the view of his balcony (I don't actually know if there is but let's just pretend there is) i grab the hidden rope and swing onto the railing. I loop some around both of my wrists, I hold onto it as I push myself off the wall and swing below his balcony, and start climbing my way up. "Cas wake up it's happening" "I know what you're doing and it's not happening" "I'm not kidding around Caspian" "as your prince I order you to go to sleep" "and as your best friend I order you to listen so we can save your life," I say hitting him with a pillow "I swear if this is a prank" he says lifting the sheets off himself and getting out of bed "thank you for getting him out of bed Y/n" "you go change we'll get the backpack" I stand up on a chair and get on top of his bed structure and jump to the wooden roof beam and get the backpack from the corner of the roof beam the was out of anyone sight "jump down I'll catch you" "you better not let me fall" "have I ever?" "well there was that one time whe-" "that was rhetorical" after dropping the backpack onto the bed I move away from the bed I jump off onto Caspian's arms, "told you" I scrunch up my face and move it side to side slightly "put me down" he sets me down gently "nice boots" "thanks they're new" "come on, come on we have no time to waste," the doctor says shoving the backpack onto Caspian's hands and leading us into Caspian's double-sided wardrobe. i walked behind the doctor waiting for my best friend to follow i heard him close it but I never heard him close it fully but what I did hear was the sound of his bedroom door opening I moved back to see what was going on. a group of ominously dressed soldiers had walked inside armed with crossbows I watched as they aimed them at Caspians bed and fired as an attempt to kill him. we raced down the staircase we grabbed our swords and I grabbed my bow and arrows along with our armor. we mounted our horses but before we went the doctor handed Caspian something wrapped in wool "it has taken me years to find this. Do not use it except in your time of greatest need. remember what I taught you" "will we ever see you again?" I asked "I dearly hope my children, there is so much more I meant to tell you. everything you know is about to change." we heard a man saying "close the drawbridge!" getting our attention we race off I see archers and soldiers ready to attack "we're it!" I hear Caspian shout "we're it!"

It's a childhood best friends to lovers story. You're 5 years old in this one.so this is an image that I just thought of this is my first one I'm sorry if it's bad.

i was reading my favorite book under an apple tree while my father was in a meeting when I felt a hand tap my shoulder "who are you?" a boy with slightly tanned skin and long brown hair "I'm Y/N who are you!" "Prince Caspian" "I'm sorry to get I'll get out of your way," I say grabbing my book of Narnian Tales "No! wait! wanna play with me? I've got no one to play with." "sure! what are we playing?" "Tag you it!" I start to dart after him through the fields "wait up!" I call only to receive a taunting laugh making my need to get him even larger. I feel myself feeling as if I was walking on air and a moment later I manage to trip over a rock and land in a soft patch of grass softening my fall "Y/N!" I act as if I passed out as the boy rushes over to me "Y/n! are you okay?! Please be okay!" I start laughing "you're it" "don't do that" he yells after me chasing me at full speed
