I Got Thrown From A Building

I woke up, startled and frightened when lightning flashed and thunder cracked. Getting up had never been so easy for me. I had another dream about my mother, she had been gone when after my birth and I was put up for adoption. I was raised by my new family,
/my "father" David, and my "mother" Joanne. I went down stairs and peaked through the door crack, there was a man in my living room talking to my mother about me, which was odd cause I should be there if it was about me. He said "Your son,

he has a brother, his name is Percy." As a 17 year old boy, I felt that I had the right to know that I had a brother. At that moment I started packing for a long trip away from Troy New York. I slipped out of the window with my suitcase and

I ran away from the liars my "parents" were. I went to the library to research my brother, so I searched the name "Percy" on the library computer. The first result was Greek Mythology about Percy and his adventures. Then I started

to think that the man who was talking to my mom was just pulling my leg about the brother thing until a weird thing happened. The words started shift, at first I thought it was my dyslexia, but then it spelled out "Percy Jackson Is Your Brother."
/I had no idea what it meant but I knew that when I saw Percy, I will know it's him. I had smuggled about a hundred dollars of money so I could survive for a bit on my own. I was still sitting in the library when I was ushered out into

the rain by a librarian. I started to walk for about an hour until I found a motel which was 25$ a night. I checked in and realized that I needed to get more money or else I would be able to stay anywhere. The next morning I walked to a coffee
/shop down the road and saw a familiar face. It was my friend Mia, she was absolutely beautiful. With stunning long flowing dirty blonde hair, light stormy gray eyes, an astonishing smile that could light up the world, I liked her more than as

a friend, but I couldn't tell her that. We had known each other for 3 years and hadn't seen each other in 3 weeks since school ended. She was sitting down and writing something down on the back of a newspaper. I sat down across from her and

she jerked her head up in surprise, exclaiming "Cadmus! What are you doing here!"

"Just came down for coffee and saw a familiar face." I replied

"It's so great to see you! What has it been? 3 weeks since the end of school?"

"Yeah around that."

"Actually, you have impeccable timing, I have to tell you this story!"

"Sure I'm up for it!"

"Great! Ok, don't say I'm crazy, but something really freaky happened to me last night that you won't believe. So I was walking along the Long Island Beach the other day and saw the craziest thing. A boy just appeared floating up from the river riding
/a wave. He had sea-green eyes, jet-black hair... Now that I think about it he kinda looked like you. Anyway, He landed casually on the sand and in awe, I asked him, "How did you do that?" He replied "Do what?" as if what he just did was typical. I
/said "Ride that wave of course! Do you think I'm blind?" Dumbfounded he said "Wait you saw that?"

"Duh!"

"Ok so the next of what I'm gonna say is gonna sound absolutely insane, but I'm the son of Poseidon and you are a Demi-God, half human, half God. The gods of Olympus are real."

"Yeah right" I replied sarcastically

He told me to go to some place called Camp Half-Blood where I would find him and stuff. I then asked his name and he said it was Percy Jackson. I have been trying to figure out what I saw. Do you know anything about this?"

In awe I realized she just said my brother's name. So I asked her "Where is this Camp Half-Blood?"

She then showed me on a map that it as near Long Island, so I said "I near to go there now, let's go!"

I grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door, but she yelled "What do you think your doing!?"

I replied "Finding Camp Half-Blood."

She said "Why? Does mean something to you?"

I then explained to her about last night and how I saw the same Percy Jackson and needed to find my brother. So she nodded and followed me. I said "Let's get to a roof and look where we need to go." Mia agreed so we found a fire escape and climbed
it

to the roof, and looked around. I suddenly heard foot steps behind us, I turned around, as did Mia, and we saw two big hounds looking like they were going to kill us. From behind them stood a figure holding a golden sword and said "Hello Cadmus
/Jackson and Mia Franklin. I've come to kill you, Cadmus. Im sorry you have to see this Mia, but goodbye Cadmus." Mia jumped in front of me in protection but the man slashed his sword and cut Mia's bicep. With the hounds growling behind him,

the man chuckled and thruster his sword into my abdomen. Excruciating pain followed the stab with groaning following. The man disappeared but the hound hit us off the building, Mia weak and I badly wounded, we both new it was the

end, we grabbed each other and all of a sudden, we jerked up as if we were caught, holding hands I pulled her up into my arms. She was passing out since the cut was very deep, and she winced. I didn't realize it, but I was flying and towards what
/looked like a summer camp in the middle of the woods. I flew down to the place and dropped Mia by accident, since she was unconscious ae didn't notice I caught her with air and she hit the ground fairly rough but she hit with a grunt. I was still
/fifty feet in the air when I passed out and fell. The last thing I remembered was seeing people below and in the camp, and hitting the ground hard.
