Hey Percy Jackson fandom! I'm back with another story! I was re-reading the SoN and I got this idea. I only got like 2 pages in and I stopped reading and went straight to microsoft word and this is what happened! I don't think anyone else has done this, when I searched Son of Neptune, a lot of the stories were discontinued.
I do not own PJO or HoO. If I did, why would I be writing on this site?
This is the edited version, thank you to those who reviewed! I think this is much better.
Stupid monsters. Percy thought to himself. You should've died when I cut your heads off three days ago, or when I ran you over with a car. But no, you had to live.
I've been running for… I have no idea. All I know is that I woke up in some random woods about 5,000 miles back, surrounded by wolves. Normal teenagers wake up to their mom yelling at them to get up for school. Nope, not me; I woke up to a pack of wolves. The leader of the pack could talk though… she told me that I have a long journey in front of me. She also told me about this rock lady that was going to take over the world if I didn't stop her.
There's one problem with that though, I have no memory of my past life. The only thing that I can remember is this one name, besides my own. Annabeth. After that I left and started to go where my gut told me, because I didn't know what else to do. Right when I got into Colorado these Gorgons started chasing me and they haven't given up yet. Every time I kill them, they show up the next day, sometimes it takes them only a couple hours to come back. It sucks.
So, right now I'm in Missouri, I can see that famous arch. I get a weird wave feeling over my body. I think I've been here before, but I don't really know. I really wish that I could stop and walk around and see if any of this will trig any missing memories. I turn my head to see how far away the snake head sisters were. They're way too close for comfort so I decide to not stop and keep running. It's starting to get dark, if I want to sleep, I'm going to have to stop running and kill these monsters or I'll be running all night. I stop and turn around to face the demons that have been haunting me the past weeks.
I take the pen out of my pocket and click it, on the side of it; it says Anaklusmos in ancient Greek, which I somehow translated to Riptide. Whenever I lose it or it gets too far away from me, it appears in my pocket. I learned that about two weeks ago when it fell into the hoover dam.
"Ready to die, honey?" One of the snake sisters asks me.
"Not in the mood." I saw and slash my sword through her.
"My sister!" The other gorgon screeches. "What is with you and killing my sisters?" She asks.
"What?" I ask her in confusion.
"Never mind that, come here so I can feed you some yummy poison cereal!" She says and lunges towards me. I step back, a few feet behind me is the river.
"You know what, my other sister that you killed a couple years back fancied the sea god. I think I will freeze your corpse and give it to her when she returns." She says and slashes at me with her talon like claws. I try to chop her arms off with riptide but she moves them away too quickly. I whip my sword up and try to cut her on the rebound. She steps over to my left side and pushes me hard into the river.
"Demigods are always easier to kill when they are defenseless in the water." I raise my arms, kind of like an instinct. There's a pulling feeling in my gut and the water seems to make a mini hurricane around me. I aim my hands at the gorgon and about ten gallons of water flies at her. Luckily her scream is drowned in the water. After about five minutes of holding the water on top of her, I part the huge puddle that I made to drown the gorgon. What's left are two vials filled with gross, foggy, looking liquid. I take off my backpack that I might've uh… stolen from a store a couple days back. I didn't take much, just some double stuffed Oreos, a couple bags of beef jerky and a panda pillow pet… what? I need a pillow…
I open the big pocket and take out my pillow pet and un-Velcro it and set the vials on it and Velcro it back together. I put it in my back pack and sling it over my shoulder and slip my arms through the straps.
"Okay, one down, one to go." I start walking, now that I know how to kill the gorgons for good, there's no need to run all the way across the country.
Thanks for reading! Please review! :)
