Hey all! I'm new on fan fiction and this is how I think The Son of Neptune should go, if you haven't read the first chapter on Rick's website you need to before reading this, because it picks up there (hope that doesn't break the rules)And don't forget to Review!

Percy's POV

Percy skidded down the hill picking up speed until he could see the tunnel exit.

"Okay, what now," he thought, "right, instincts."

He waited until he had almost reached the lip of the top of the tunnel before pulling up hard on the front of the Cheez 'n Weiners platter. Just before he fell onto the road, a semi-truck roared through and caught him. Percy looked back and saw the gorgons re-forming at the top of the hill, and he knew he needed to get far away from there, very fast. He re-capped riptide and made his way in between the cargo area and the engine, the part with all the cords, and settled in for the ride.

"Whatever I was feeling earlier is gone, or it may have been this truck, but whatever it was, it's gone now," he pondered.

Percy tried to focus on honing his instincts back on what he had been following, and had a weird feeling it was going back to the east now.

"This was my last day, and I was so close, but now I guess I just have to go back," he murmured.

Once the semi went back into the city and got gas, Percy hopped off. He made his way through the city to the edge of the golden gate bridge, where his ride back to camp was supposed to meet him. And there she was, beautiful as ever, Reyna, daughter of Ceres with the only car the camp owned, used for picking up demigods. Percy knew she was very beautiful, but also knew that he loved the girl from his memories, Annabeth. Reyna was tall and regal looking, with jet-black hair and a nice tan, her only accessory was a spear strapped to her back, but she made it look hot.

"Did you find anything," she asked walking towards him from her place leaning against the car.

"Nope, the trail goes east, but. . ."

"Maybe Lupa will let you go back out, on a proper quest," she suggested.

"Maybe, right now I just want to get back to camp, 'kay?"

"Sure," Reyna replied.

They drove back to camp in silence, not awkward, but comfortable. Percy didn't like Reyna, but they were close because recently her boyfriend Jason disappeared and she thought Percy could be the way to finding him. They talked and theorized a lot, and at this point all they could figure was that Percy was replacing Jason at Camp Legion for some reason. When the pair pulled into camp they first went to see Lupa at the headquarters.

"Ah, Perseus, you have returned, were you successful? Wait, no, I can see it in your eyes, but we can talk about that later, right now there is urgent business," the grey wolf informed them.

"Does it have to do with Jason," Reyna inquired.

"Yes, but before I tell you, fetch Bobby, he is involved."

"Alright, be back in a minute," replied Reyna, and she walked out to the fields.

"Now, Percy, what happened?"

Percy told her the story and she thought for a minute.

"It is troubling that the Gorgons re-formed that fast, and with their malice for you we will have to be on the watch for them. I have gotten word from the gods that you are not to be branded, nor tested for weakness, but they have told me of your feats and I doubt I would have to anyway," Lupa told him.

"Please Lupa, what have I done, who am I, why have the gods sent me here," begged Percy.

"In due time, meanwhile- oh, here are Reyna and Bobby," said Lupa, "now, there has been a prophecy. There is trouble in the North, and you three are chosen to investigate and destroy it. You will leave tomorrow for Northern Canada and I'm sorry I don't know what you're facing or where exactly, but I advise you follow any trail you find."

"But Lupa, I don't even know whose son I am," objected Bobby, a husky, brown haired kid.

"You do now," assured Lupa as a glowing bow and arrow appeared over his head. "You're a child of Apollo."
