Percy's POV

-----

Me and Estelle were walking in the cold afternoon of January. People were walking everywhere. Some kids were with their parents or family.

I noticed Estelle looked at them with envy. It has been hours since the apartment building fell. Estelle and I walked from Manhattan to here in the middle of Brooklyn. I gave Estelle my hoodie to keep her warm. I was only wearing my Camp half-blood t-shirt. We also encountered some monsters, but with my luck, if we continue with this, there's a chance Estelle won't survive the next attack sooner. 

"Percy my feet are getting tired." I heard her mumble. I mentally sighed, "We have to keep walking Estelle. We're almost near ok?" 

"But that's what you said five minutes ago." She whined. I couldn't really scold her or roll my eyes in front of her. So I had no choice but to carry her around my shoulders. I picked up Estelle and let her sit on my shoulders. And after, we continued walking. 

(Line break)

Three minutes later, we finally arrived. In front of us at the top of a warehouse (was it a warehouse? I forgot) was the Brooklyn house. 

"Are we there yet, Perce? I wanna sleep." I heard Estelle mumble.

"Mhm, we're here," I replied.

I went to the fire escape and climbed up towards the mansion. 

When I got to the front of the mansion, I used the doorbell. Three times. 

No one answered for a second, but then the door opened and I saw a ten-year-old boy peaking out with a boomerang in his hand, and is that a PENGUIN?! 

"Uh, hi?" I said, sheepishly. 

The boy's eyes narrowed, "And who are you?" He asked. 

"I'm Percy and I'm looking for a guy called Carter Kane?" I replied and asked. 

The boy still narrowed his eyes at me. "CARTER, SOMEONE IS AT THE DOOR LOOKING FOR YOU!"

Suddenly a voice replied, "COMING!" 

After a few crashes and cat noises, the kid went back inside the house, and now Carter Kane took over the conversation.

"Percy?" Carter said.

"Hey, Carter," I replied. "What are you doing here? I thought you were busy in Manhattan about your... Well, gods or something." He said. 

"Were." I said, emphasizing 'Were'. 

"Wait, what happened?" He asked.

"You see," and with that, I filled him in on everything that has happened over the past year. Annabeth's betrayal, me showing my newfound abilities, the apartment collapsing.

"- and here we are. Carter, please. Just let Estelle stay for a bit? I can't just put her into the system." I said with concern. Carter sighed, "You know that nomes don't allow mortals in, right?" He replied. 

"Maybe you can." A voice behind me said. Carter's eyes widened, then went into annoyance. 

"What are you doing here. Thoth?" Carter asked. I turned around to see a guy with a laboratory coat who was eating barbeque.

"Oh nothing, just greeting a guest," The guy said. "Ah, jet black hair, sea-green eyes, your sister sitting on your shoulders, the greek camp t-shirt. You must be Perseus Jackson, son of the now late mortal--Sally Jackson and the Greek god, Poseidon."
