"Percy"

My name is Percy Jackson.

Am i a troubled kid?
Yeah, you could say that.

I'm a half-blood

I didn’t want to be a half-blood.
If you’re reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this App right now.  Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life. 
Being a half-blood is dangerous.  It’s scary.  Most if the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways.

My life as a half blood started when i was a baby, when my great uncle out a bullet in my mothers head, and took me to an evil organization.

Then broke me out if there and formed a camp for half bloods to be safe, with the help of the gods, of course.

Now here he was, burnt and driffting in the ocean like a dead fish, having a vison. No. A message.

It was bucky, scruffy, dirty, sitting on the edge if a building, percy stood behind him hesitantly, unsure this was all real, he watched bucky drop a pebble off the sode, and when bucky looked over the side he saw the busy brooklyn streets

"Bucky?","Percy", Percy sat on the ledge and let bucky put an arm around him.

"Are we dead?", Percy asked, taking a pebble from bucky and tossing over the side to watch it fall.

"No, we're just drifting", Bucky smiled fondly at him, "Bucky?", Bucky looked down at the city.

"Isn't it pretty? Always miving, changing, living", Percy didnt look, just stared at bucky.

He knew this was a dream link, but they didnt talk abiut what was happening, Bucky thiught he was dead.

"Did you kill my mom?"

The smile fell flat, he kept his eyes on the city, "yes", "why?", Percy felt his voice break.

"I dont know"

Percy hated those words, "you do", he stated, bucky said nothing, but gripped percys arm tighter, "you think id hurt you intentionally?", Bucky slumped.

"No", he leaned into buckys side, "your my family","I am", he agreed sadly.

"I would trade placed with your ma if i could, perce, you know that?", Percy sniffed, "how'm i gonna get home?"

"Find posidon, or land", bucky hummed, "you can do it, come on back to camp, it'll be easy, dont worry abiut the fleece, clarisse, Steve and annabeth will take care of it"

He said steve bitterly, "you mad at him?", bucky hesitated, "he had one job- to protect you-", he broke off and shook his head, giving percy a fake smile.

They were silent, "why here?", Percy said as he dropped a rock over the edge.

"I went to school here, well, where the building use to be, nows its this", he kicked his legs into the air.

" I used to come here… when the world closed in and got so small I couldn’t breathe. I’d look out at the ocean, and I’d think… “Yo, douche bag, high school counts for jack shit.” Kurt Cobain, Quentin Tarantino, Brando, DeNiro, Pacino, all high school dropouts. I… hated high school.", percy snorted at him and Bucky ruffled his hair.

"So I’d come here and I’d look out at this vast, limitless expanse. Then it’s like, that’s your life, man. You can do anything, could be anything. Screw high school. That’s… it’s just a blip in your timeline. Don’t get stuck there."

Percy stared down at the city, then felt his eyes widen as water started filling the streets like a flood, so sudden, si fast, the water rose to them quickly, sucking in people and cars and buildings

"I-i-", Bucky gripped percy closer, "its ok, but its time to wake up",he stated and grabbed percys shoulders to face him.

"I- i dont know where to go!", "find land, and a god will help you", Bucky soothed.

"Dont leave- dont go", percy felt his eyes sting, bucky put a metal finger under his eye, "stay strong, get to land, come home , I promise ill be there, just come back to us", Bucky urged and glanced at the water

Percy went to look but Bucky forced his head to look at him

"You are going to find land. Come home. Amd we're going ti roast some damn marshmallows with annabeth. And luke. And clarisse-"

"And Steve?"

"And Steve",he agreed, he pulled Percy into a hug, "im scared!"

"I know, its ok, you can do this-"

The water hit their legs-

"-come home-"

Percys eyes shot open in fear, the water around him was cold, he felt the rips in his clothes crust and flake due to the burn marks, he was laying at the bottom of the dark murky sea.

He sat up painfully and blinked rapidly, a shift in the murk behind him made him turn to look, "hello?"

His clothes swayed in the water, as did his hair

A shadow fell over him and he looked up, "hey!".

The whale let out a long deep call as it swam above him in a circle, "wake uo, young Prince", it called down, a heavy male voice echoed around Percy as he oushed iver the sand and uo to the whale

"You sound alot like Sam Elliot", Percy said as he sat on the tip of the whales nose, criss cross.

"Im unsure who that is, boy",the whale said, yeah, totally sam Elliott,"back at the barn yard?", the whale said nothing and percy sighed, "could you take me to the nearest land?".

"I suppose i could, but you'll tell me about this 'sam Elliott", the whale said fondly,  Percy moved to its back as it swam into the sea.

"Who sent you?","lord of seas did, i recon he likes you ",  percy grinned, "somthing like that"

"Ill call you Ben", percy concluded to the whale, "whatever you like ", rhe whale said in his deep texan voice.

"Hey Ben, wana learn a song with me for this trip?"
