I just woke up from this dream I had about the book. It was how Percy got to camp and I was thinking "What would it be like if Percy was like Luke?" What if he was running away from home because him resented him (Luke's mom loved Luke but this is slightly different), he hated his dad, he found camp half-blood by himself while running from a monster. Ya-didi-yada...I can't tell you too much because that's what the story is for :D (WARNING: CONTAINS SLIGHT LANGUAGE)

Summary: Percy Jackson has run away from his New York home. His mom resents him, he hates his father, and he has been battling monsters since he could remember. While he is on the run from some monsters, he passes by Camp-Half Blood. There he meets new people, but he is still this mysterious, sarcastic boy. No one knows about his life, and he doesn't plan on telling them until an incident kind of demands him to explain. In the end...will he come back alive?

I'm gonna be writing these chapters a lot today so....yeah, review!!!

Chapter 1: Runaway

Don't turn around, if you turn around, you'll chicken out.

Sally was behind me, crying as though she loved me. Yeah, I watch enough TV to know the differences between fake crying and real crying. She would have started yelling at me, trying to stop me from what I was going to do if she actually cared.

I took half of the stuff out of my closet and drawers and stuffed them inside a duffle bag. I put in my bathroom neccesities also, and an extra pair of sneakers. I went to the only creaky board in my room and pulled it open to see my collection of ambrosia squares and nectar. I grabbed all of them and put them in the secret compartments of my bag.

Do not, and I repeat do not check if she is still there.

I took a look around my room, to see if I was missing anything. And, because this was probably the last time I'd see my room. I touched the ball of water on my neck, and said an ancient prayer that I learned a while ago. I looked up, grabbed the duffle bag, and faced my mother.

Sally Jackson, used to be the sweetest, kindest, loving person in the world. Until she married Paul Blowfis. After that, she treated me just like he thought I was, dirt. She resents me. I don't give a damn about how much she fake cries, and tries to get me to stay. I'm leaving, one way or another.

I stalked past her and right to the refrigerator. I grabbed different fruits and snacks, and put them in my bag.

Hey! A kid has got to eat...

I walked over to the couch, gave it a push in the right direction, and found my money stash under it. I heard a gasp from behind me and rolled my eyes. They never clean under the couch so it was the perfect place to hide all my drachmas and about 3,000 dollars worth of mortal cash. I've been saving up for this since I was 11, which means for the past 3 years, I have worked numerous amounts of jobs that are not against child labor laws. I also sold some of Paul and Sally's stuff behind their backs.

Now, I was ready. Ready to go on the adventure of my life. To travel the world and see new sights away from this dump. To become a new person, with a whole new perspective on life.

Yeah, I wish. I'm probably only gonna make it to Canada before I start to miss my bed.

I slowly made my way to the door, when Sally grabbed my arm tightly. She turned me around but I still wouldn't look into her eyes. I dug out the note I wrote for her from my pocket and handed it to her. For reason one: To tell her goodbye. And reason two: To distract her while I make a run for it.

She took the note from my hands while I quickly ran out the door. I cursed as I remembered our apartment building was on the 3rd floor. I pulled off the ball of water from my chain and threw it directly onto the sidewalk 3 stories below me. I prayed to no one in particular that I would make it. I then did one of the most stupidest things in my life. I jumped over the railing to my doom.

Well, this isn't really one of the most stupidest things I've ever done. I do much more stupid things than this.I breathed a sigh of relief when I landed on my skateboard. I looked above me to see Sally crying. I quickly push my right foot off the ground and make way down the street and into the big city.

****P****J****O****

As I was skating through the streets of my home town, I looked back at a few of my 'wonderful' home memories.

Flashbacks

My mom was hugging me and wishing me a happy 9th birthday. She told me she was going to teach me something today.

"Now, Percy. Remember what I am going to teach you because you will need this in the future," she told me quietly. I nodded and began to watch her bring out a knife from a drawer.

--------------

"Percy, your father is a Greek god," my mother told me. I stared at her blankly for a second, then started laughing. She was not serious! My dad could not be a Greek god or whatever.

"Mom, are you okay? Do you need some water or something?" I asked her still laughing. She furrowed her eyebrows, thinking. Then all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain on my arm. I looked down and saw a medium sized cut with blood flowing out. I looked up at my mom to see that she was bringing me a glass of water. She bent down and told me to pour it on my cut. I stared at her with a look of confusion, but I did it. Alomst immediately, my cut started to close up, and in a matter of seconds it was completely healed. I was in shock. I looked up at my mother with my mouth agape.

"Percy, your father is Poseidon, god of the Sea. That is why when you poured the water on your cut, it healed. You inherited his water gene. Do you believe me now?" She explained. I could only nod, as she continued to tell me about the life of a demi-god.

--------------

"Happy 11th birthday, Percy," Sally said, barely with any enthusiasm. Paul just nodded at me. Sally handed me a chain with a weird ball of water on it.

"What's this?" I asked her. She sighed, as though my voice got on her nerves.

"It's a gift from your dad, when you throw it on the ground, just think 'skateboard' and it will turn into one. Or just hold it in your hand, think 'sword' and it will turn into one. To change it back to a ball of water, just touch you chain and skateboard/sword together. You got that? Good," She turned back to the TV, while I left for my room in silence.

End Flashbacks

Rightnow, I was on this long stretch of land and road. I kept skating forward, to see where it leads to.

Hopefully Canada.

I wasn't really paying attention for a long while, because I ended up hitting something with my skateboard. I looked down to see a club.

Oh, shit.

I quickly grabbed my skateboard in my hands and thought 'sword'. Seconds later, it became my trusty weapon Riptide, half celestial bronze for killing monsters. Half silver metal for harming humans...Not that I would harm a human.

I looked around at my surroundings and found nothing. I picked up the club and continued walking down the road. About an hour passed and I was really bored. I took my iPod out of my pocket and put an earbud in an ear. I was bobbing my head to The White Stripes when I heard a very loud roar.

No, not the roar my stomach makes when I haven't eaten for 2 days straight, now that's a loud roar.

I turned around to see a very big bull dude in the distance. My eyes widened when I recognized what it was. The Minotaur.
