AN: Hello guys. This is my first story so I hope you like it. I'm sorry if there are any mistakes.

Summary: Percy Jackson is the new kid in Olympians hospice. It's a mental hospital which he feels he shouldn't be in. He meets everyone there and is reluctant to open up at first until one person with honey-blonde hair catches him in his most vulnerable state. Contains the rest of the seven and other heroes from the books. It is all human.

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or any of the song lyrics I use. I wish I did but I guess we can't have everything.

I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human,

And I crash and I break down

Percy POV

I'm not crazy. If you ask anyone else they'll say otherwise, but I ask you this. Would you be crazy if you watched someone kill your mum, if you always thought someone was following you, if you were kept locked up for days without any food? Yeah, I think you would be where I am now, about to walk through the doors of 'Olympians hospice'. It's a mental hospital for 'crazy' kids like me.

I have four people surrounding me as if they think I'm going to lash out at someone. I won't. As I told you, I'm not crazy. We walk down one corridor and then another and they both look just as boring as each other. The walls are completely blank with white doors leading off to different areas. I already knew I was going to hate it hear. Suddenly there was a loud scream coming from inside a room we had recently passed. 'Great,' I thought, 'I may not be crazy but there are some crazy people here'. Finally we stopped at a door on the left of the corridor and I realised that this would be my room.

"This is your room Perseus." One of my bodyguards said. I growled. "My name is Percy."

Only my mother could call me Perseus and even though she is now dead I am NOT changing that. She looked scared at my tone of voice so I forced a smile onto my lips and motioned for her to let me into my room. She did and as I walked in I saw that it was just as bare as everything else. I sat down on the cold, hard, metal bed and as the people started to walk out the woman turned around and said,

"You will only be able to get out of the room at certain times during the day and any other time the door will be locked" and with that she closed the door behind her. I lay on my bed and thought about how in the past couple of weeks my life has turned upside down.

Flashback:

The final bell rang at Goode high school and everyone rushed out. I reached my locker followed by my best friend Grover whose locker was next to mine.

"You did good last night Perce" He said. Last night was my swimming meet and I came first in every race beating my record in three of them.

"Thanks Grover" I replied. "I've got to go but I'll see you tomorrow man". I ran off and checked my watch as I got pass the doors. It was 3:20pm and I had to be home by 3:25 otherwise Gabe, my horrible step father would do something terrible to me. I didn't have a car so I had to run to our apartment which was 10 minutes away, luckily I knew a couple of shortcuts. I was about to turn down one of them when I got a tingling sensation throughout my body and so I turned around. No one was there and so I decided that getting home in time was more important. I was about halfway through the alley way when I heard pounding footsteps on the wet concrete. Once again I turned to look however this time I saw someone's face and was about to yell stop when suddenly my vision swirled until I passed out.

End of flashback

"Percy! Percy!" I heard someone shout. My head shot up and I realised that it was just the woman that came in with me first. She looked kindly at me before saying,

"It's dinner time. Come to the cafeteria. Third door on your left Percy. Oh and my name is Hestia I am your carer from now on" and then she turned around and left.

When I walked into the cafeteria I noticed about eight other kids sat around one table. They went silent once I started to walk towards them and the only other empty seat. I sat down and refused to look at any of their faces; I just stared at my dinner and silently ate it whilst they watched me like a hawk. A carer came up to our table and made us introduce ourselves.

"Do we have to Hermes?" asked a native African-American girl. He just nodded. That same girl went first and said, "Hi. I'm Piper". A blonde girl with a typical Californian look, apart from her grey stormy eyes, looked up from her book said "I'm Annabeth" and then returned to reading. Next was a girl with electric blue eyes and had an electric blue streak running through her hair. "Thalia" was all she said. Next to her was who I assumed to be her brother as he had the same electric blue hair. He looked at me through his glasses and said "Hi, I'm Jason". He looked friendly but I wasn't looking for any friends in this awful place. A scrawny looking boy answered as if he had had too much caffeine (I'm not sure they even give out caffeine in a mental hospital) said "I'm Leo Mcshizzle I can already tell we'll be best friends". Piper then called out "Calm down repair boy". He stopped what he was doing and the next person went. He looked about thirteen and looked emo, "Nico" was all he said although I could barely hear it because he was so quiet. Another girl who looked about thirteen said "I'm Hazel" she was quite small and had coloured skin. Finally the boy next to her said "I'm Frank". He looked buff but had the face of a teddy bear. I was silent for a few minutes before I looked up and realised that it was my turn to speak, "Um, I'm Percy" was all I said before I stood up to go.

A bunch of carers crowded round me all at once before I mentioned that I was just going back to my room. They let me go but Hestia had to escort me.

The walk there was silent and the only sound was our footsteps against the cold floor. Hestia unlocked my door and let me into my room. I turned around to see if she had gone. She hadn't but she was staring at my scars which were now visible at the end of my arms where my sleeves had ridden up. I silently cursed.

"Right Percy," Hestia started "We'll talk about that tomorrow in our counselling session with Dr. Apollo. Goodnight" and with that she closed the door. I lay down on my bed and stared at the light on my ceiling. I didn't want to fall asleep but I knew that they would be checking to see if everyone was asleep. So I just turned on my side and let my eyes slowly flutter closed and I soon drifted off into a state of slumber.

AN: I hope you guys liked the first chapter. We will find out more about the others and how they ended up here later. The song was Human by Christina Perri.

Remember:

A book is a dream you hold in your hands. Treasure it forever.
