Percy's POV

My name is Percy Jackson. I am an orphan. My momhas recently died of cancer. It was the worst day of my life. No one in this world cares about me anymore. I am now in foster care. And let me tell you that it stinks.

My mom died 1 year ago. I have been to a couple of homes but they took me back to the orphanage home. You might be wondering 'why don't you stay with your dad?' Well I never met him. So, I am now in foster care.

I don't have any friends. I am an outcast as you call it. Right after schoolI come here, eat a snack, and do my homework. Then I am bored forthe rest of the night. I don't get along with the other kids here. They are mean, cruel, and

rude. They are olderthan me and like to pick on me. So, I lock myself in myroom and don't come out until it is time for school.

I was doing my regular schedule whenthere was a knock at the door. I was going to ignore it but theknocks increased and started to get on my nerves.

"WHAT!?" I yelled as I opened the door.

"Hello, my name is Neil Matthews. Is Ms. Nancy, the person in charge, here?" Asked the man named Neil. He had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes.

"Why do you need her?" I hissed.

"Well I am afraid that is classified."

"Then I am afraid that it is classified if she is here or not!" I went to close the door when I heard him say "Wait!"

"What?"

"I need to talk to Ms. Nancy about an orphanage kid."

"Which one?"

"I will let Ms. Nancy tell you that."

"She is two doors down tothe right."

"Thanks."

Poseidon's POV

I was coming home after a long day. I just finished saving a sea turtle that got caught in a fishing net. I work at a hospital that helps savehurt marine animals. Once they get better we release them back intothe wild.

Anyway, I parked my car in the parking lot and a man walked up to me.

"May I help you?" I asked the man.

"Actually, you can. Hi, my name is Neil Matthews. Is your name Poseidon Olympus?" The man asked.

"Yes."

"I am a lawyer and, well, I need to tell you something. We might need to go inside though."

"Okay." I got really nervous. Why was this guy here?

"Well, Mr. Olympus, do you remember a lady named Sally Jackson?"

Sally? I haven't see her since we graduatedfrom high school. We were high school was like 12 years ago. I am 30 now. Why would he ask me about this?

"Yes, I remember Sally. What about her?"

"Well, I am sorry to tell you this but Sally died last year from cancer."

Died?! This can't be!

"Now, I was looking at Sally's will," Neil continued "and she had something in her will under your name."

"S-Sally left something for me?"

"Well, you would be most fitted for this." He was really confusing me.

"Here," he handed me a letter "it explains everything you need to know." I was unsure if I should read it, but my curiosity won. It reads:

Dearest Poseidon,

I know I should have told you this a long time ago but I didn't know how to tell you. But, since I am gone now I have to. So, here it goes: you have a son and his name is Perseus but he goes by Percy.

I know, I know I should havetoldyou, but Iwas scared. I didn't know how. I was selfish. But, I am gone now and he has nobody. He is all alone. Percy is my everything.I am asking that you at least meet him. Over time I know that you will love him just as much as I do. By the way,I am so sorry I didn'ttell you sooner.

Love,

Sally

I was in shock. I have a son?!

"I-I have a s-son?"

"Yes. Here is his picture."

I took the picture. The boy looked about 12 and looked a lot like me when I was his age. He had black hair and bright sea greeneyes. But his eyes looked like they held pain, hurt, fear, sadness, and...loneliness. A child shouldn't feel that.I would
do anythingto take that away.

"So," Neil said interrupting my thoughts "would you like to meet him?"

If I met this child this could turn my whole world around. I don't know what to do. But, I look at the picture again and I find my answer.

"Yes, I would like to meet him."

Percy's POV

Neil Matthews was in Ms. Nancy's office for about an hour and a half. That was when they both came out. He gave a letter and then he left.

Ms. Nancy looked at me and said "Percy, can I talk with you for a moment?"

I nodded my head and went into her office.

"Percy that was your mom's lawyer," my eyes go wide. She has my full attention. "He came here today to talk about your mom's will. She had a man named Poseidon Olympus included in her will. Do you know a man named Poseidon Olympus?" I shook my head.

Why would she leave something for a Poseidon Olympus? More importantly, who is Poseidon Olympus?

Ms. Nancy let out a big sigh. She took the letter in her hand that Neil gave her and handed it to me.

"Read this, your mom's lawyer said it would explain everything."

I slowly and carefully opened the letter. It said:

Dear my little Perseus,

If you are reading this then I have lived my time. But I have to ask you one more little favor. I want you to meet your dad. Just for is a really nice man. I also know he will love you very much.

But just remember your manners, do good in school,and keepyour room clean! I love you very much, Percy. Always remember that!

Love,

Mommy

I didn't know what to think. My brain is it is not just because of my ADHD and dyslexia. The idea of meeting my dad. I never metthe guy. I alsonever thought I would. I don't know what to do.

"Does my dad want to meet me?" I ask.

"He has agreed. But you have to agree too. Do you want to meet him?" She asked, unsurely.

I don't want to meet him, but I do at the same time. What if he doesn't like me and throws me on the street and I have to go back into foster care. It has happenedbefore. But, my mom wants me to. It is her final request. In the end Iknewwhat

to do.

"Yes, I want to meet my dad."

I am letting all of you know that I will publish the next chapter as soon as possible.
