Percy

Eight months. Eight months until I agreed to do this with Ben and almost a year when I promised myself that I would never go back to new york, yet here I am, on a plane, scared out of my life and hoping with all my might that Zeus won't struck me out of the sky. Then again everybody thinks I'm dead. That dosen't mean I can't be carefull. I know, I know, me Percy Jackson hero and all, is scared of going back to his home city. A person who always runs into a fight dosen't stop to think and just leaps is scared,
Yes that's true. Well guess what I've always been running away my whole entire life, fate just runs in the opposite direction then slams right into my face. I didn't ask for it, Through out the whole trip I didn't sleep, it took us almost year to just get two plane tickets to go back to New York. We had to sell our apartment and store and everything else except for ourselves and one set of clothes to get two plain tickets oh and we also had to do alot of part time jobs.

Ben was beside me sleeping like a baby through the whole entire ride.
The reason we were going back to New York is for one thing Money. About a couple of months ago . . .

Flash back
(A couple months ago)

Ben pulled out a flyer with two faces on then, the looked about 11-12 years old. They looked like twins they both had red brownish hair, the girl had golden brown eyes that sparkled like the sun, the boy had brown eyes. Under it was a big bold letter that says.

MISSING.
Call 222-333-444
500,000 dollars per child.

"Check it. Three years ago there was an attack at a baording school. The girl went missing after the attack and was a suspect" He said. As he pointed to the girl who had this mischievous smirk on her face. Then he pointed to the boy who had this calm look on his face, with a little bit of uncertainty.
"Not only a few days later did her twin brother go missing. Turns out there mom got rich after getting a really big job promotion, the woman is loaded. If we find a kid, that's 500,000 per child. 1 freaking Million dollars if we get both of em" He exclaimed happily.

I eyed him.

"But that was 3 years ago who knows if the money is still available."

Ben laughed.
"It takes 5 years for them to be suspected as dead. People just gave up after the first year"

"Let me guess. Were not those people?" I said. He smacked on the back happily. I winced.

"Exactly! We have 2 years to find them. and there has been some sightings of the boy around Manhattan, so we already have a place to start." He informed. "So are you in?"

A smile spread across my face.

Flashback END.

That's how we ended up back in NewYork. With the left over money, I got myself a black face mask, Black glasses that weren't see through a blue base ball cap, black Jeans and a grey Hoodie. Ben looked at me with a questioned look on his face. As soon as we left the plane, I have been anxious, the places I knew I avoided I almost jumped when I thought I heard someone say my name, but in the end they called Siri on there phone.

I didn't show it that much before, but now that I was back home. I stopped. Home. It was a place that was welcoming and I used to b looking forward to, but I just want to leave I want to get away from here as possible and I never wanted to come back. Yet here I am. We took a subway to Manhattan. When we arrived it was already dark and the lights were out people were going places and Ben and I were homeless. Great.

"C'mon I know a place we could stay for night, then tomorrow we start searching" Ben said. I followed him.

"Where exactly are we going"
We passed some stores and apartments and other places and passed through a dark alley way and down a broken down station that had a DO NOT ENTER sign. Ben looked both ways as if being cautious before going in. Then he disappeared into the darkness. I followed him. Then we came to the end of the dark place and a door a metal door stood before us. He turned to me,
