A/N This is my first fanfiction! I'm really excited about it. I'm not sure if I'm going to do anymore with it or not. But please enjoy this small introduction.
This takes place seven years after The Blood of Olympus
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO
My life as a half blood isn't really any different than anyone else'. I've always felt like an outsider even in my own family. I don't feel anyone truly understands me.
I've been running my entire life. My mom died when I was two in a car accident, so I lived with my uncle Harry, his wife, and their three kids. They always treated me like worthless trash, and they also always blamed me for the monster attacks, which I didn't know that's what they were immediately.
I got tired of being treated so terribly so I ran away when I was eleven. After wandering the streets for a few weeks doing what I had to do to get by, I met 14 year old boy. He was a son of Hephaestus named Charlie. We became good friends. He explained to me what I was, a demigod, and he taught me about the Greeks and Romans.
He said there were a lot of people like us. People who would understand me. Understand what a hard life I've had.
He told me of a wonderful place in Long Island Sound. A place where we would be welcomed.
We lived together on the streets for two years. Watching each other's backs. We fought monsters together and we never lost. That is until we got into a fight with three laistrygonian giants. Charlie had his celestial bronze sword but all I had was my steak knife.
We never before fought laistrygonians and they sooner overwhelmed us. My knife was knocked out of my hand and Charlie was standng in front of me defensively. He told me to run but I refused telling him I wanted to stay and help. He then responded by telling me 'I'll be right behind you.' So I agreed and ran as fast as I could not dareing to look back until I was at the top of a hill.
When I looked back Charlie wasn't behind me. He was completely encircled by the laistrygonian giants. I didn't know what to do. My feet felt like they were glued to the ground. All I could do was watch them fight, he took one of them out and then the other two bellowed with rage. They then blocked my view of Charlie, I heard him yell out in pain and then nothing.
The Laistrygonians moved slightly so now I could see him, laying limply on the ground. I felt myself running back toward the monsters screaming in anger and sorrow. The ground opened up around the giants and seven skeletal warriors in full Greek body armor climbed their way out of the pit and dragged the laistrygonians and Charlie into the ground and then it closed. Leaving me alone and stunned standing where they used to be.
That's when I figured out who my dad was. Hades. After taht I was scared and confused, but I knew one thing that I had to do. I had to go to camp half blood. He had always talked about going there, but I was never sure. But now I knew I had to go for him. I had to help people like us. I don't want anyone else to suffer the same fate as Charlie.
