     "Bye mom! Bye Paul! I'll be back for Christmas, don't worry!" I smiled and waved at them as I walked out of the apartment. They waved back at me as I shut the door behind me. I was excited, I just spent the week here for my birthday and now I get to go back to camp and see my Wise Girl, who knows I'll be back there today. I hopped into the drivers seat of my car when I got outside, playing my music loudly as I left the city. Manhattan wasn't really my home, even if my mom is here. Camp half-blood is where I belong, even if I do tend to get attacked on the daily basis. That might be a tad bit of an exaggeration, maybe not, who knows. Anyways, whoever you are, my name is Perseus Jackson, but don't call me that, call me Percy. I am a demigod, son of the sea god Poseidon, you could probably guess that though, I'm a replica of him basically.

     The city streets were busy, lunch rush hour was always the worst time to start driving, but I managed regardless. I didn't have much experience on my side, but clearly enough to pass a drivers test. Some of you might wonder how I even had time to learn how to drive, well, I am only a "Demi" god, I have time for human things too. Who am I talking to, anyways? Regardless, I focused on the road, sighing with relief when I finally got out of the hectic city, and towards Long Island. I turned the music down as nerves suddenly took over me, something is wrong. I came up over a winding hill, and that's when it hit me. No, seriously hit me.

    A girl in a large white truck came speeding down, over the centre of the road, I moved closer to the side to try to dodge her, and I slammed my breaks, but me moving seemed to make her think she should too, she steered right at me, hitting the side of my car, sending me flying, right down a small cliff. As I fell, my air bag blew up and hit my face, but it didn't stay inflated long because I hit my face on the steering wheel a moment or two later. I cried out, trying to undo the buckle, trying to get out but it was broken and I couldn't undo the clip.

Annabeth's pov

     I paced camp nervously, Percy said he should be here around noon but it's almost 4, he even sent me a text saying he was leaving at 10:30. He should have been here by now. Maybe Jason can go fly and try to find him? That was that, I ran to look for him, and when I found him, he and Piper were talking, they were clearly worried too, everyone knew when he was supposed to come back because we were throwing a surprise birthday party for him here because he went to his moms to celebrate with his family.

    "Hey, Annabeth, did you try calling him?" Piper asked worriedly and I nodded.

    "Blank screen, he isn't in Manhattan anymore so I don't know where he is. I also called Sally and she said he left a while ago. Jason, can you fly and see if you can find him? Maybe he's battling some monsters and got held up." I explained, Jason nodded wordlessly, and left in a rush.

    "I hope he's okay." Piper said, walking with me around camp to try to calm down. "It's Percy, he usually manages." She tried to reassure me, and I smiled, yeah, it's Percy, worst case scenario is he got caught up battling monsters, but to be held up by fighting monsters? Shouldn't take four hours.

      "Yeah, maybe he passed out after battling for to long." I suggested and she nodded in acknowledgment, and probably agreement.

Jason's POV

    I flew along the road, stumbling across a car crash, but it was only one vehicle off of the cliff, maybe a drunk driver? I landed, the car was smashed, one of the doors were dented in, looked like it was pressing onto the person inside. I recognize the vehicle, but where from? It was sitting on the roof of the car, glass laying everywhere around it. I stepped hesitantly, walking to the drivers side, and that's when I saw the bloodied face of one of my best friends. "Percy!" I screamed, he was unconscious, I quickly checked for a pulse, he was alive but barely.
