The Life of Percy Jackson

Chapter 6

Well here's the next chapter I hope you like it.

Percy Jackson was trying to find another case since he preferred to keep busy and he really didn't know what else to do. He certainly didn't want to return to the camps or New York so what other option did he have? By continuing to hunt he was also helping people, and often saving their lives.

He'd met a few other hunters since he'd really started hunting but the Winchesters were the only ones who he'd admitted his parentage to. He thought about contacting them to find out what they were working on and ask if they wanted help, he didn't though and decided to wait a little longer to keep searching for something on his own. He might contact them if he didn't find something soon, but for now, he waited.

Over a week went by and Percy hadn't found a new case. He'd also gotten an iris message from Thalia and of course, the subject of Annabeth's and his mom and Paul's deaths had eventually come up because Thalia had been extremely close to them as well. Since their conversation, he couldn't seem to stop thinking about his loved ones' deaths. He thought about how much he still missed them, how guilty he still felt about their deaths, and blamed himself for them like he always did. His fatal flaw only seemed to make his pain worse since he felt like he'd failed them. part of him knew that they would want him to let them go and continue on with his life, but ever since their deaths he'd been ignoring that part most of the time.

Eventually, even darker thoughts made their way to the front of his mind. He was thinking that it might just be easier to end his misery now and join Annabeth in the underworld. He guessed that once he got there, he wouldn't have to fight anymore, he could just be happy with her in peace. After some thought Percy was about to do something that there would be no coming back from if he succeeded. Before he could finish what he was doing, Percy heard a noise that if he didn't know better, he'd say it sounded like wings. Moments afterward he heard a woman's voice say, "Percy, stop,"

Out of surprise and confusion, Percy stopped what he was doing. If it wasn't for the fact that he knew his mother was dead he'd swear that the voice he'd heard belonged to her. It sounded so much like her that he'd teared up from just hearing it. Extremely confused he turned to look in the direction he'd heard the voice from.

When he saw who had spoken, he gasped in shock, the person looked exactly like his mother, but it couldn't be her, could it? Was it a shapeshifter pretending to be her? That didn't make any sense though. She couldn't be a ghost either. For starters she didn't look like one, she looked like she always had. Secondly, he'd made sure she was cremated like she'd wanted and even if she did become a ghost she'd probably be stuck tied to their old apartment, not in this motel. After a couple moments of being speechless, Percy said, "Mom?" shock, disbelief, and pain were clear on his face.

"Yes, Percy it's me," Sally said, her love and concern for Percy obvious on her face.

"How are you here? You died,"

Sally walked over to him wanting to comfort him and help him as much as she could. while she tried to comfort him, she explained what had happened after she'd died.

She said, "After I died, I went to heaven, but I wasn't really happy there. Even though I had Paul and you, I knew it wasn't real. I spent most of my time there worrying about you. I knew you were most likely being your typical self and getting in danger, so I couldn't truly be happy when I didn't know if you were safe or if you were even alive for that matter.

Not long after I arrived there, God appeared to me. He made me an offer. I could stay in heaven or I could become one of his Angels,"

Percy was surprised, but he obviously figured out which option she'd chosen since she couldn't be there with him if she had chosen the first option. That also explained why he'd heard what sounded like wings before she'd spoken to him. He knew that all the other angels had lost their wings, but he guessed that she had them because she had only become an angel recently.
