Chapter 1, the beginning
I opened my eyes slowly. When I gazed upon the sky I saw a bleak black with shades of red scattered around like droplets of blood. The hard rocks dug into my skin but I felt no pain even though it was enough to make me at least bleed. I got up slowly my vision foggy and not able to recognize the area around of energy hit me like a bullet and I fell to the ground.
"Come on get up Percy",I said to myself as I slowly got to my feet. Up until this moment I had not been aware of any of surroundings but the sky. when my vision finally cleared I saw something that would completely destroy my life forever. I saw a ruined city with buildings that appeared to be either demolished or half crushed, cars were scattered all over the place and were either burnt or completely torn apart. The worst part of it however was not the cars or buildings but the people there bodies were complete unharmed (besides the ones that were crushed by cars or buildings) but they had a horrible feature to them.
They were pale white with black hair and appeared to half all the life drained from them. I tried to scream but no sound came out. I slowly began to walk around and then immediately ran into a dashing pace. I ran past the destroyed buildings, past the wrecked cars, and over the dead corpses. I then suddenly tripped on a ripped apart motorcycle and fell to the ground forcing myself up I looked at my hands.
I hadn't given my hands any attention until now but what i saw made me want to sit down and cry in a corner. My hands were jolting with electricity but this electricity was black and rimmed bloody red. "Like the sky", I thought. My mind began to put the pieces together in my head. "No that's not possible I thought "it can't be". I then ran full speed to my destination. "I have no time to lose", I thought " if this happened to downtown Seattle then what will.
No keep those thoughts out of your head it's going to be fine she will still be alive maybe it only happened downtown maybe she's still alive", I thought faithfully. I couldn't of been more wrong. As I ran closer to my house the destructive conditions still remained. As I reached my street a fallen house blocked my way. Anger and fear boiled up in me and a bolt of black lightning shot from my hands to the remains of the house.
I suddenly remembered whose house that was. It was 's house. The man was completely insane and the perfect stereotypical mad scientist. He was always fooling around with some junk and making it into something that seemed to be hundreds of years ahead of any United States government facility. But he was charismatic and funny and made me invest more time in him than any other adult I ever met.
Plus he had a daughter he was reconnecting with. Emma was her name i think. I had only met her once but she had many aspects that were like her father. The thought of him made me upset but I didn't have time to mourn for him I had to move.
The remains exploded into every direction and scattered out of the way leaving a open path for me. I couldn't believe what I had done it wasn't just a few boards that I destroyed but practically half a house. The electricity still danced in my hands as if it was asking for me to do it again. It was tempting not to just destroy every single house I saw out of sheer anger but i still had to remain in control after all I still had to know. I ran to my house and I felt like someone had just pierced me with a lance I saw my mother Sally Jackson lying over dead.
Her once clear skin was pale and dead. Hair hair once so silky and smooth was black and gaunt. Her eyes once caring and full of life were dead and blank. I bent down and cried for what seemed like years. In all my twelve years of living I hadn't ever cried more than on that day.
Author's notes: Well that was my first chapter of my first story a little on the short side but i didn't really have much to work with unless i went into every little detail but oh well the next chapter will be longer and hopefully the chapters after that I'm planinng to hit at least 1000 words every chapter so other than that i think it turned out okay but reviews and comments will be appreciated and if you find any grammar errors in the story ( Not counting the authors notes because i won't edit those for grammar) make sure you let me know it can only make me better because right know i probably suck at grammar so anyway Percy is obviously not a son of Poseidon anymore so should i have an oc fill that gap that he left or just replace it with a different child of blank let me now in the comments or reviews or whatever who cares.
