Prologue

Disclaimer: I'm not a guy, so sadly Percy Jackson does not belong to me. :(


Remember when you were little and you would watch some cheesy horror movie? Your parents would tell you not to, but you wanted to prove you weren't a little kid. You acted all big and tough, but by the time the movie was over you had to refrain from peeing your pants at the slightest noise or shadow.

After sitting up in bed for god knows how long in the dark, having an internal debate on whether or not to go to your parents, you would leap out of bed and sprint to your parent's room. You would slip into the room, waking up your mom or dad, seeking comfort and someone to make the bad thoughts go away.

Exasperated, your parents would help you clamber into bed with them, letting you cuddle up with them under the heavy blankets. They would stroke your hair, whispering calming words into your ear. They would tell you everything was ok, monsters don't exist. Eventually you would fall asleep, believing what they told you. You were ok. Monsters don't exist. Your parents said it, so it must be true.

They don't exist.

They were lying.


A/N: I'm experiencing writers block write now with my other story and this idea wouldn't leave me alone. The first chapter is in progress but I would like to know your opinions. Does this sound interesting? Should I continue? I know it's really short, but it's just the prologue. The other chapters will be longer.
