Chapter 1:
Percy POV
Hello. My name is Percy Jackson. But everyone knows me by the codename Day. No one knows my real name only but for three people in this world. I am a night time errand guy, I guess. People pay me money to get their jobs done. Don't worry. I don't do anything that is illegal but help people do their jobs that could possibly be too dangerous for them to do on their own. Everyone who knows my codename are either my clients or people out to get me because I'm in their way. I'm only seventeen but I have top notch fighting skills. I also work alone but with a few people.
I have Rachel, the insane hacker. She helps me with most things. Like hack the security cameras so I won't be caught. She makes these crazy smart gadgets for me to use. Rachel is a year younger than me but I don't underestimate her. She is freaking smart.
I also have Grover. He also fights like me but helps me at times. If I am in need of help. Which most likely I'm not.
Profile:
Name: Perseus Jackson Code Name: Day Age: 17 Occupation: Night time Errand Guy Current Task: Find a girl named Annabeth and stay by her side.
I know weird task huh? But I got it from a client named Malcolm. (He did not disclose his last name for some reason. He is a star architect at the Athena's Architects INC) Through Rachel, he only told me to find her and stay by her side until he gives anymore orders. I'm only doing this because he gave a grand amount of money for us to the job. I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for the money. Because of the money, I would have to go to school, when I already learned all that stuff, and even hide from the people who are out there to get me. I am also showing my face to hundreds of people. That means the amount of danger that I will be in will be twelve times more dangerous.
You guys ask why I chose to stay hidden from the world and why I don't live like everyone else. Well there is one answer to your question. I just don't have any concern for the world. All it gave me was shit and there is no reason to live life like it is one fairytale. I only look at the reality. That is all. Period.
Now your next question is going to be, "Why is Percy so dark." Or, "What made him think that the world is not a place for all the happy stuff happen?" Well to me life isn't fair. And it really isn't. The only reason I am living in this crappy place is because that death is even more unfair. Life is more bearable than death.
Flashback: (10 years ago)
"Eat. I need to see you eat before I go." My mother Sally Jackson said. My father, Poseidon Jackson, died just a week ago.
I lifted up my spoon, "Mommy. Are you going somewhere?" There were bags everywhere like she was leaving for somewhere soon.
"I made your favorite blue cookies. Eat them after dinner ok?" My mom replied gently. Now I'm getting scared.
"Mommy, are you going somewhere?" I ask one more time but now my eyes start to water.
She looks at me with the saddest eyes. "Yea. Mommy is going somewhere. I'm going somewhere far."
I put my spoon down and say, "Are you going to come back?" I was so afraid of her answer.
"No. I'm going somewhere far away and I'm not coming back." She said. I could see tears in her eyes.
"Do you want… me to go find you later?" I ask. I try to stay strong but I can't help but let a few tears slip out of my eyes.
"NO. I don't want you to find me. Hurry and eat. I will watch you eat your cookies before you leave." My greatest fear was seeing my mommy's tears. I saw a tear or two drop.
"Why are you going?" I ask for the last time.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry Percy." From then on, I knew she wasn't going to come back. That was reality I needed to accept.
"Ok." I finish eating my food with tears coming down. Mommy put a plate of blue cookies in front of me with a glass of warm milk. I take a bite. But I couldn't help it. I started sobbing. Asking my mom not to leave me.
"Percy listen to me. I love you and that there was a reason I have to leave you right now. Live with Uncle Chiron and listen to him. Okay? Promise me that…" She said quietly.
She put out her pinky and I promised her. She put her hand and my hand together and said, "Copy." And then put our thumbs together and said, "Seal. Ok now our promise has been sealed so remember to keep it at all costs. Bye Percy. I love you!" And then she left me crying.
I cried until my Uncle came to pick me up. What a great 7thbirthday…
Uncle Chiron taught me how to fight since he worked at an action school. He also home schooled me because I was quick at learning despite my dyslexia and ADHD. I also got into a lot of fights. Guys kept provoking me that my mother left me because I was a mistake. That pissed me off so much so of course I fought. Thanks to Uncle Chiron, I got to beat their butts but I guess fighting was not allowed in the society.
Uncle Chiron homeschooled me where I could finish all my schoolwork. I wasn't all that smart in academics but finally graduated three years early. As you can see, Uncle Chiron likes to rush things.
Anyways, when I finally turned 15 and graduated, Uncle Chiron died. He never told me had cancer. He kept those away from me. Why is everyone that I care about leaving me? First my parents. Now Uncle Chiron.
He left me a note to a person he has also trained at the action school and told me to work with her and to have each other's back. I saw Rachel once and we were great friends but nothing more. Just a younger sister.
Now it came up to this day where we save each other's buts and work together to get away with things. Her with all the tech stuff and me with all the physical work. We've been working together for two years now and so far haven't ran into a problem ever since.
Flashback Over…
I've had a hard past to deal with. But I survived it so I am fine now. I only focus on what is keeping Rachel and I alive. Which means I have to focus on the task I'm given. Which is to follow this girl Annabeth Chase around until my client says anything else. Easy.
And of course like it has always been, it wasn't easy. Luck is never on my side.
Ok... so how was it? I'm going to have Annabeth POV on the next chapter. Don't worry about Sally.. I have plans for her later... hehehe... No but seriously, how was it? NOT good or AWESOME? I know.. it was kinda short...srry!
PLEASE REVIEW!
