Strike Rich or Strike Poor

Chapter 1: Percy's POV

It was a normal day. And when I saw normal I mean the servants roaming around doing everything I could be able to do myself. Yes I am rich. I am the son of the great o Poseidon. Billionaire and CEO of Poseidon Atlantis industries.

Apparently I am so rich that I can't dress myself, walk down the stairs, pick up my own fork, and fill my glass of water. Whatever, I used to think it was fun at the beginning but now it is just plain old boring.

You think that I would get used to this by now right? But that's not the whole truth.

6 YEARS AGO

"PERCY!" my mom called out.

"Coming." I said walking down, the stairs creaking under my weight. Well the stairs is getting really old. Well actually the house is but it doesn't matter. I reached the kitchen and saw mom getting the table ready.

"What took you so long?" my mom asked shaking her head.

"Math homework. Mrs. Dodd's gave us so much homework it will not be done by next week." I say making a face and putting down dinner. I hate math but I hate Mrs. Dodd's more.

"Well I hope you have finished your other studies first. You can't be stuck with math even though it's your least favorite."

"It's not my least favorite. It's not my favorite at all I hate with all my passion." I say and my mother gave me a look and I knew I had to stop.

She sighed. "You have to try your best in everything. Promise me that even though it is hard you will always try."

"I promise mom."

"Good"

My mom, Sally Jackson is the best woman in the whole world. Even though life has been hard on her, she never gave up. She is my hero and my world.

I called Tyson, my brother and the three of us sat down at the table.

"Mmm what do we have for dessert mama?" Tyson 9 year old my little brother and my best friend asked.

"Our special." Mom replied with a smile, "blue cookies. Now dig in."

And we did.

Little did we know that that night was the night where it all ended. Where it all began.

Knock knock

"I'll go check the door." mom said, ruffling Tysons hair before moving.

We continued eating and heard her opening the door and gasping.

"Hello Sally."

"Tyson and I looked at each other. Confused. It was a man's voice. Our mom did have many friends visiting us but all of them were women.

We went to the hall near the doorway to see who it was.

The man looked around the same age as my mom. He was very tall. He had the same green eyes and black hair as mine which was funny. And he looked….. familiar. Somewhat.

"Po-Pos—Poseidon" mom stammered.

Tyson looked at me and whispered, "Do you know him?"

"Um I … he looks familiar to me. What about you do you know him?"

Tyson shook his head and shrugged. Then he went to mom and said, "Hello, who are you?" he asked to man at the door.

"Well this will take some time" the man smiled a sad smile looking at Tyson as if when we would come to know who he is we would hate him.

"Come in. it's about time though." my mother said and looked at me and smiled sadly, the same way the man did before.

~~~ LINE BREAK~~~

"WHAT?!" I asked unable to believe my years.

My mom bit her lip, and repeated what Poseidon had just said "He is your father Percy it's true."

I couldn't believe it. After all these years. All those times we struggled. Without HIM.

"Why come here now? What did you come for?" I asked clutching my fists.

"I came to take you guys back. My son Triton is having cancer and I did not have any heir so my father asked what would I do and I said I have another son, sons actually." He said then turned to mom and continued.

"I told them about you and the boys. Dad seemed furious at me but I lashed back at him saying I never loved my wife and that I always loved you but they would never let me be with you."

He paused.

"So what did they say?" Mom asked looking sad

"They said- they said I still couldn't" he sadly shook his head and held my mother's hand. "I am sorry. But they said Percy could come and be the heir of our company."

"WHAT!" I shouted standing up.

"Percy—," my mom said trying to calm me down.

"NO! I will not listen to this. You can't just come back after 16 years of my life and then order us around. You should consider about others too." I stared at him glaring.

Poseidon smiled a sheepish smile and then said, "oh Percy don't you remember I came here before to meet you once."

And then I remembered…that smile.

-"so you like clown fish?" I asked to the man who had come here the day before.

"sure." He smiled. "Why do you look so much like me" I ask again.

His smile dropped, "must be luck."-

-"I love swimming, do you?"

"Of course I do, race you to the sea?" he asked me.

"You're on." And I started running. -

-"why do you have to leave?" I was crying.

"Oh Percy I don't want to go either, but I am sorry I have to go."

"But why? You- you don't love me anymore?"

"No that's not it I love so much."

"Don't go" I say last time. He just shook his head…

….And left out the door…

I gasped. Poseidon, dad looked down.

"No it can't be" I say clutching my fist.

"No, no, no."

I started running out the door. I ran outside. I kept running. I heard my mother calling me. I didn't stop I kept running. I ran down the stairs. I reached the entrance. I could feel my heart beating.

"Percy"—my mother called. I ran still. I crossed the road. Not even bothering if any cars were passing by.

I heard a voice, "Percy please wait." My mother said.

Then I heard another, this time more frightened, "Sally look out!"

Then another sound, tires screeched

I turned around, my heart beating louder than ever.

Then I heard Tyson scream.

And that's when my whole world turned around.

That's it for now.
