The Life of Percy Jackson

Prologue

A/N I know the Pipercy fanfic go more votes but I'm kind of stuck on how to finsh the first chapter of that so I finished this one first. I know it's not super long but I hope to make some of the future chapters longer.

Sally Jackson took one last look at the weapons and other items before her before turning and exiting the storage locker, once she was back outside she shut the door and locked it sealing its contents inside. She knew she wouldn't be coming back for a long time if ever since the items within the locker were from her old life and now she had decided to start over.

She wanted to put her difficult past behind her and concentrate on finding a job, so she could support herself and raise her baby. Technically she was still pregnant, but she wanted to leave her old life behind and her baby was the perfect excuse to do so. She really didn't know how she would manage to raise a child on her own, especially knowing what might be in store for her child when it got older.

Not only would her child eventually have to face the monsters from Greek mythology, but it may also be faced with some of Sally's own enemies. Sally was trying to put her old life behind her, she wanted her child to stay safe, not grow up the way she had. Her parents had been hunters, and so had her uncle. After her uncle took her in she would be dragged along when he went to investigate a case.

They weren't hunters in the usual sense, they didn't hunt deer or moose, or geese, or any other game animal. If they ever told anyone what they hunted the person would probably try to have them locked up in a mental ward, but Sally and her family had seen a side of the world that most people didn't have to witness.

For most of her childhood she didn't know what her uncle was doing during these trips but once she started nearing her teens he trained her, and she began to help him. She hadn't really been given a choice in the matter and honestly, she wished he hadn't told her anything at all about all the monsters that were out there, but that couldn't be changed now so she didn't really have any other choice.

Now she knew she was going to leave that life behind for her child, so it would stay as safe as possible. Sally's biggest fear was that eventually, that life would come back to haunt her or kill her or her child. She knew that lifestyle was an easy ticket to heaven or hell depending on what you do in your life. Her uncle hadn't been taken down by a monster, but his lifestyle had still been the main cause for his eventual cancer diagnosis.

He'd always drank a lot, not necessarily to the point that he was an alcoholic, but he certainly loved to drink. On top of that, he'd smoked like a chimney for as long as Sally could remember. Due to the fact that he had no-one else, Sally had to put aside College in order to care for him as his health gradually deteriorated. After he died Sally hadn't really been sure what she was going to do, after all, She certainly wasn't rich and with no college education, it would be harder to get a job.

Her only option to support herself was to look for work but she did take on a case every now and then. She eventually met Poseidon, and since he didn't reveal his real identity to her right away she thought he might just be the first bit of good luck she'd had in a while. That luck hadn't been as good as she thought though since although they loved each other he eventually had to leave after they learned that she was pregnant.

The thought of aborting the child so it wouldn't have to go through the difficult life that it would most likely have, Occurred to Sally but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Despite everything, she knew she'd wanted to have the baby. Now she knew she would have to do everything she could to support herself and her baby once it was born, even if it meant having to work more than one job, and hunting was out of the question, she was done with that life and she didn't plan to return to it.
