Percy Jackson was many things. Arrogant some would say, others say brain dead yet, He himself believed he was special. More than his miserable mother who abandoned him at an orphanage when he was born, or the orphanage kids and that..... gods to awful terrible orphanage maid. Percy still had nightmares of that whip, believe him, It was very painful.
Yet through it all he believed he was best for the title 'hero' as he had saved many people from, going to drugs, suicide and many other horrible crimes such as murder and homicide. He was known among the neighborhood as the mysterious man that saved people. Somehow, people never noticed he was just a 12 year old kid. He pulled on a hoodie, said some excuse to the maid and ran out the orphanage. He pulled his hood up and wore a black mask with holes for his eyes and ran out in the open. He simply changed into his attire in a dark alleyway so nobody saw him.
These days, nobody really saw him. The orphanage had sent him to a free boarding school pretty far away funded by the government so, it would be obvious where he would be when the savior randomly came to another part of America. "Percy!" Cried mr Bruner. Percy was brought from his train of thought from his History teacher, mr Bruner." Were you even listening Percy?" Asked mr Bruner. He abruptly realized he was in the Titans part of the Greek and Roman museum." Ummmmm......" trailed Percy. Mr Bruner gave him a disappointed look and sighed. "I expected more Perseus. Do not make that mistake again." He uttered from his wheelchair and casually wheeled away and began explaining more.
Percy felt a hot anger grow in him. How dare this stupid man try to order him!'Wow' thought Percy 'That was weird. In my thoughts I just acted like a king or a prince or something.' Before dismissing the thought. 'I could never be a prince' he assumed ' not even of this dirt spec on the floor.' He followed mr Bruner away and the fates laughed in the irony. ' oh yet you know Perseus!' Cackled the three fates.
Later that day he was walking down a hallway and he heard ' Sir when are we taking Percy to camp?' Asked the undoubted voice of the mousy haired, weirdly walking odd boy who had tried to make friends with him at the beggining of the year.'Grover' he thought angrily.'He's been trying to kidnap me?' His eyes unknown to him crackled with electricity and he became furious. Yet he controlled himself. ' I need to find out more he reasoned with himself.' He hid behind the door and heard the unmistakable voice of mr Bruner talking.' Let the boy enjoy his life like it is now Grover.' Mr Bruner spoke with an air of confidence he saw so often in the classroom. Percy's mind boiled.'I've heard enough' he thought brashly and tiptoed away aggressively.
The next couple of days were insignificant. He lazed around and did his tests, got expelled and went to the orphanage. One day he was sitting and pondering when his door opened. He jumped as high as a peacock and smacked his hood of the bed where someone would not recognize the mysterious saviors hood. The door opened. It revealed a girl with dark grey eyes and a man in a suit. He tilted his head.'Welcome to prison' he invited them graciously. He put on a fake smile.' Who are you?' He asked carefully. The man picked up on his tone and snorted. We're your saving grace kid.
The man snapped his finger and smoke enveloped him and when it cleared a teenager with bright blue eyes, a crooked smile and a scar on his left eye stood where the man in the suit was previously. He was wearing a t-shirt reading Camp - half blood." I am Luke and this is Annabeth." He pointed to the grey eyed girl, Annabeth who was inspecting him like he was a rare type of creature that they had to take somewhere. He didn't like the look. It unnerved him to no end." We are Demi - gods" Luke announced like it was the most normal thing. He smiled vibrantly, 'I am the son of Hermes and Annabeth is the daughter of Athena.' I didn't think this was very believable or very funny. " Yeah sure and I'm the mysterious savior on the streets around here." He retorted.
' We have intel that you actually are ' admitted Luke. 'What?' I thought. My mind raced, he was going to reveal my secret! I quickly grabbed to his throat and shoved him against the wall. " Luke!" Annabeth yelled, who had been quiet up until now. She lunged at me with a knife I didn't know existed. Right before my death, Luke flipped me over and stopped Annabeth arm from my body. " Annabeth" he chastised. " You could've killed him!" " No! Snarled Annabeth. " Just caused severe pain" I Already didn't like her. Apparently I said that out loud because Luke looked at me amused and Annabeth glared daggers into me. " He thought I was going to reveal his secret Annabeth!" I took the Chance at them arguing and jumped out of the window. "What?" I heard Luke's voice above me. I face firsted into 3 blocks below grass and ran for my life." Hey!" Yelled Luke and did an acrobatic move out the window a lot less painfully than I did. He had some weird super speed powers and caught up to me in no time.' Hermès' he thought. He roared in anger and the clouds above them thundered angrily. 'Zeus' mumbled Annabeth who had gotten to us somehow." Yeah" Luke responded. " Why did he thunder like that?" I watched confusedly. "No, Son of Zeus" She pointed to me.
I was suprised. Me, a son of Zeus? 'It makes sense' I thought. They rushed at me and I roared again. This time the winds obeyed. The winds carried the demigods up and up, so high up that They were dropped off on apartment buildings. I played with my powers. 'Wind!' I commanded and I flew into the air, flying. I grinned. I roared to the heavens putting one had up and bringing it down in a motion of dragging a lightning bolt down. 'BOOM!' an empty road space of about the size of an average supermarket blew up. I laughed in delight. A blade came down and I knew no more." Hope you're having fun sparky" Luke sighed.
Annabeth POV
I brushed my hair out of my face and marched up to Luke. " Is the brat out?" I grumbled. "He's your age Annabeth." ' I don't care' I screamed. 'He is just so annoyingly arrogant and when I get my hands on him....' I grit my teeth looking at the unconscious boy. " He is quite powerful though." Luke said as we moved to camp. "Thalia isn't able to control the wind and the only one that can make a boom this big is Zeus." He said troubled. I looked at the 'boom' as he so elequently called it. It was the size of the big house. I gasped in suprise. "Yeah." Luke whispered." He could even make something about as good as Zeus's best bolt with his Master bolt if He's trained " He exclaimed. I imagined the possibilities. It was endless. His power could bring down any threat from when Thalia's 16 and the great prophecy begins. We had been talking so much I barely noticed when we made it to camp. I handed a coin to the cab driver.' Thanks' I told him." " Yeah" he grumbled. " I'm aiding 2 criminal kids who want to go to some strawberry farm." He said eyeing the unconscious Percy.
We rushed out of the Taxi and began the climb when I heard a growl. I turned. There stood, in all it's glory, the great Minotaur. I had never faced such a challenging opponent. Camp was still a few hundred yards away. Luke dropped Percy on the ground and charged at the monster with his sword when, the Minotaur snatched the sword from him, and tossed him so far that he hit his head on the tree and fell unconscious. Now, the two boys were unconscious and I was alone with the Minotaur. It charged at me with its ram horns and I dodged. 'It can't move sideways' I thought thinking rapidly. I was a child of Athena. I could think it out. Before I could think enough it charged. 'same strategy' I thought. 'What an idiot' I jumped to the side but this time he extended his arms and caught me.
A wild fear erupted in me and I thought 'stupid Pride, stupid Annabeth.' It opened its mouth and I closed my eyes for the final blow, when it roared in pain. I opened my eyes. Percy stood there hands wide, eyes concentrated and the. Minotaur had a giant puff of air through its chest. Percy's eyes glazed with anger and he grabbed my arm ignoring the monster exploding into dust. He waved a hand and the air took Luke with them, trailing behind us."Where to next to go to camp?" He snarled at me. I led him up the mountain with thoughts all over my head.
Percy POV
I stormed after Annabeth in anger, up the hills with Luke being supported by the air. It caused me no drain or weakness making Annabeth look at me oddly. I finally led myself up a hill and saw one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. People chatted, fought, cannoned and dueled while some used a bow and arrow at an archery range. The water was like a crystal and the sky, empty and blue. Annabeth intoduced me to a man. "Chiron this is Percy, Percy this is Chiron." She said almost nervously. I threw Luke on one of the chairs. "He is the son of Zeus " she continued "who can control the air and has the unparalleled power of a ...... "she looked up"God" she swallowed. Chiron raised his eyebrows and I just realized. "Mr Bruner?" I asked in disbelief. Before I could do anything a lightning bot shone above my head. Everyone stared. Chiron Shouted "All hail! One of the big three!" All campers came out of their cabins or stopped their spars to see. Everyone in the camp looked at me." Son of Zeus!" "Defeater of the Minotaur" Annabeth butted in. "The most powerful demigod since the age of Hercules." Chiron continued as if he was not interrupted. Everyone bowed except a blue electricity- like eyed girl who I assumed was also a daughter of Zeus.
I smiled at her nervously. She smiled at me too. She ran at me. "Jason?" She asked in disbelief. "I'm not Jason. I'm Percy" I refused.
"You have the same scar as him. Right on your lip where you tried to eat a stapler." She laughed in the memory." My mother left me at an orphanage." I told her. "They called me Percy." " I suppose my birth name was Jason." I smiled. "Sure Percy" she aggravated the tone.
I studied her and tried to remember. "You're Thalia." I told her. "I don't know how I know." She looked delighted. "You remember me!" I hugged her as tight as I could. All I could think was, I have family.End of chapter 1 1925 words bye!
