Warning: I have never read the Percy Jackson series. I've just heard a few things about the books. (Thanks WiseGirl101!) So please tell me if I should change anything, and I'll post an updated version. (And by the way, this story may really suck!)
Disclamer: I do not own PJO. That's Rick Riordans thing.
Prologue
I was having a nightmare. Mom was yelling at me to get out of her house. I packed up quickly and left immediately. Not that I wanted to leave of course. But Mom looked so mad that it seemed that I should leave in the dream. But that's when I realized it wasn't a dream, it was real.
It turns out, mom's boyfriend, Blowfish, had told mom all this untrue stuff about me. Maybe he was some kind of mass murderer who was out to kill me. Probably not, though. But I knew there was something 'fishy' with him. Groan
It was a hot summer day when I went outside. The lady said I should put on some sunscreen, but I moved on outside. As I set foot with my freezing bare feet on the outdoor deck, the sun quickly warmed up my toes.
It was so nice being here. I had been on an adventure with Grover and a bunch of my other friends when things had gone wrong. I choked back tears thinking of what had happened.
I tried to push everything that had happened that cold day in October last year right out of my head. But there it was stuck. I had nightmares and flashbacks of the day Grover died. The lady had tried to be nice after the incident to get me to tell her what happened, but each time I tried to tell her, I ended up in sorrow over what had happened.
I knew I should try to tell the lady, but I just couldn't. I mean, not that she didn't understand. She had understood from the time I had wobbled out of the woods, tiered, beaten, and malnourished. You should also know she's not my mom, my real mom through me out of the house. But at least she could still see I was at least trying to tell her.
At the time I had stumbled into her backyard, I knew my plan; eat and run. But she had insisted that I stay longer that I said I would. That's obviously what ended up happening. Now she was like my mom, and together we were like a family.
Now, as much as I like the family life, I knew I couldn't stay any longer. Annabeth needed me, and, as far as I was concerned, I needed her. I had really planned on leaving the first night I had met the lady, but I was stopped by a certain, well… longing. I don't know. I really shouldn't have left her alone. Now without Grover she would be so lonely.
And now I should start telling you about Grover. I wasn't home with mom who threw me out. I was out with Annabeth and Grover for a walk. We were all happy to get away from all the excitement of our adventures when Grover died in the simplest accident. He could have died from his bravery, but no, he had to die from aluminum can poisoning. I mean, come on! Aluminum can poison. He really should have never died at all and he died from aluminum can poisoning. Well, poisoning or not, I knew the truth, my friend Grover, was, well, dead.
Anyhow, despite anything going on in my life, I knew I would be going back for Annabeth. I have had a secret crush on her from the first time I saw her eyes. I couldn't drop her for this lady now. I had to go back to find her. And being the one and only demigod Percy Jackson, it would be my new quest.
Please review! I'm finished the first chapter but won't post it till I get two reviews. (I'm starting out small)
