I don't own PJO or HOO

Percy POV

I hate my life.

For starts, I am running through a winter forest outside my school, in a tux, chasing after my crush and her brother, who were kidnapped by a teacher and running from my worst bully, my life really sucks.

Let me start from the beginning.

First a little about me. I am decently tall. Really skinny, but that helps when hiding from bullies, I am pretty fast too. My skin has never tanned before, it never burns either. My hair is bright white and all over the place, like I was hit by lightning and then tried to squish it down. My eyes were a very pale pink color with pale yellow flecks, in short, I was an albino. I also have ADHD and Dyslexia and I am lactose intolerant. which means no ice cream, no pizza, and no cheese burgers. Pure agony.

I don't have a dad. I have never seen a picture of him or even gotten his name out of my mom. She always closes off on that topic whenever it comes up.

My mom, Sally Jackson, on the other hand, is the greatest person I have ever met in my life, ever. She always is bright and cheery. She always says nice things and never gets mad, even when I fail out of every school I have ever been to. I don't get into trouble on purpose, or at all sometimes. I am just everybodies favorite scapegoat.

When I was 7, she started dating some guy and I didn't meet him until I was 9. When I finally met him, he seemed like a decent guy, maybe just needed to work out a little. Then I got to know him when they got married a few months later.

And I got to know Satan himself.

He was awful. He was always drunk and I don't think he knew what a shower was, giving him the nickname, smelly Gabe. He was always taking any money I earned doing odd jobs around the city for beer, cigarettes, and poker.

I put up with him for my mom. She choose him to be with, so I dealt with him. she deserved happiness and if he made her happy for some strange reason, then so be it. I acted as his caddy and punching bag for 3 years.

Then when I was 12, before I started at Yancy Academy, he started cutting me. It started as a few scratches on my arms. Then my chest and back. Then he started carving. My mom found out the day before I left for boarding school. He had had carved for the first time on my upper back for the first time a few nights before and my mom walked in on me changing and saw all the scars and his carving.

Weak

It was simple, but she lost it. She drove me to school the next day and told me she was going to get rid of him. That made me happy. I went through the year and worked as hard as I could to get good grades, but I couldn't keep up with the course work and eventually fell behind. The bullying didn't help either. It was average except for one bully, Darren. He was tall, broad and strong, a typical football build. He had plenty of lackies, but he enjoyed torturing me personally. He would blame me whenever he got in trouble and everyone believed him.

The only person who was nice to me was his roommate ironically, Grover. He helped me out and said Darren shouldn't bully anyone. He followed him everywhere and didn't say anything to him about it, but he hated Darren as much as I did, so I counted him as my first friend.

They both left near the end of the year along with two teachers, Ms. Dodds and Mr Brunner. Ms Dodds was probably related to Gabe, she hated me, but she also hated Darren, so I guess she was okish. Mr Brunner was my favorite teacher. He always favored Darren over anyone else, but hid it well. He was always nice to me and helped me with my dyslexia when I needed help.

When I went home for the summer, Gabe was still there, but my mom said he would be gone soon. The next year was normal. I tried public school in New York for the first time and it was ok, I was still kicked out and had no friends, but my grades were slightly better. The the summer came.

In May, just before graduation, Gabe found out I had been expelled again. He was pissed. He beat me for an hour straight. My mom walked in as he brought his knife. She tried to get him off me, but he hit her. He head hit the counter and bounced onto the floor. I called an ambulance while Gabe fled and told me if I told anyone, he would finish the job. My mom was sent to the hospital and was diagnosed with a coma. No one knew when she would wake up or what would happen once she did. I had to go live with just Gabe for the rest of the summer.

I got a job as a janitor's assistant at the planetarium. The janitors told me everything about the planets and the stars, and for once, it was the kind of class I enjoyed. I put my entire salary towards my mother's hospital bill, but Gabe never put in a dime. I couldn't possibly make enough, and the debt started to pile up.

Gabe beat me whenever I got home and I got used to it. Freak and Bastard joined Weak on my back. He enjoyed torturing me and laughed every second of it.

When the school year was about to begin, Gabe dropped a bomb on me, he was sending me off to military school for the year. He said he had been saving his money all summer to get rid of me for 9 months and he said that he would pay for my mother's hospital bill while I was gone. I didn't trust him, but what choice did I have.

I took a long bus ride up to Westover hall, in Maine. And prepared for the worst school year of my life. Boy that was the biggest understatement of the century.

When I got there, I was greeted by some french guy named Dr. Thorn. He sent me off to the opening assembly and told me my belongings would be sent off to my dorm. I tried to pay attention to the presentation, but a younger student a few rows in front of me kept adding his personal comments and a girl next to him kept shushing him and he would laugh at her. Because of that, I missed most of the rules. I knew I was screwed. I went to the dorm listing and found I was paired with someone named Nico DiAngelo, who was 11 to my 14. Hopefully he was quiet and respectful. A good little angel. Oh how wrong I was.

Turns out, it was the boy who never shut up. Apparently annoying people was his only talent. The annoying questions never stopped.

"Why is your hair white?"

"Are you an old man who sucked the youth out a little boy, but kept the hair?"

"Are you going to drain the youth out of me?"

"Why are your eyes pink?"

"Why is your skin so pale?"

"Are you a zombie?"

"Are you going to eat my brain?"

"Can you eat my sister's brain instead?"

"Do you speak Italian?"

"Do you play Mythomagic?"

The questions kept coming and coming until I stopped him.

"I am an albino, that is why I look the way I do. No, I don't speak Italian and I have no idea what the hell Mythomagic is!" I snapped at him and shut myself in my room. The dorms had two bedrooms, a small living area, and one full bathroom.

I heard a small knock on the door, but left it for Nico.

"Get the door Alberto, I am in the bathroom!" He called to me and I groaned, Alberto, I swear if he doesn't stop acting so immature, I was going sanp worse than I did earlier. There was no upside to putting up with him.

When I answered the door, I was stunned. There was the girl who was shushing Nico during the performance. She had the same olive skin, but a little more tan. Her eyes were the same as Nico, a deep black, like night or ink. Her hair was midnight black and was only a little longer than her shoulders. She had it braided down her back in a tight braid.

I instantly knew she was special. She had a calming aura that put me at ease, something only my mom had done in the past. She was absolutely stunning and I became instantly self conscious.

"Uh, Hi" I started and she laughed a little at me.

"I take it you are Percy Jackson, the poor soul who is stuck with my most annoying little brother." she greeted me with a firm handshake.

"Yeah, he thinks my name is Alberto because I told him I was albino." I told her with a sigh. She just shook her head and laughed.

"That sounds like my brother, sorry if he disrupted the opening speeches and rules for you, my roommate recognized me as his roommate and never shut up to me about it. She was constantly complaining. I needed an escape so I figured I would apologize in advance to whoever got stuck with my brother." she said, still chuckling

"Yeah, does he always ask question so fast and what the heck is mythomagic?" I asked her and she shook her head and looked at the floor. She was really cute, and getting rid of that thought.

"Yes he does, and mythomagic is a card game based off Greek mythology. He has every figurine but one and just about every card from ever series. Don't let him get started telling you about it, he will never shut up about it." she warned me, it sounded a little fun, but Nico would probably crush me.

"Got it." I told her and I heard the toilet flush

"Who was at the door Alberto?" I heard Nico approaching and when he saw Bianca, he ran to her and gave her a hug.

"Bianca!" he shouted as he let her go. "This is my room mate, Alberto. He is a zombie who sucks the youth out of people and I told him to eat your brains if you don't let me eat only dessert from now on." he told her and I started banging my head against the door frame.

"No Nico, your roommate's name is Percy and he is and albino, his name is not Alberto. That's why his skin and hair are white. And why his eyes are pink. As for the dessert, I don't think they will have any except for every other weekend for the well behaved only." she told him strictly and he began fake sobbing

"Th-that means I-I will need to take You and Alberto's desserts on those days to make u-up for the lack of sugar." he cried and I started laughing while Bianca gave a cold stare.

"I will take your dessert if you fake cry over nothing again. It is only for the well behaved, so I doubt you will be getting any." she scolded him and he faked a look of shock.

"What do you mean dear sister, do you mean that I am poorly behaved?" he asked with a fake look of total shock, I lost it at that. Nico and Bianca were probably the funniest people to watch argue ever.

"Shut Up!" They both shouted at me, which caused us all to break down laughing.

"Is there a problem here students?" a voice came from behind us. It was the french dude, Dr. Thorn.

"Not at all sir." Bianca told him in a respectful tone, she knew her way to get around authority.

"What about the two young gentlemen we have here. Are they having any problems?" he questioned in a tone that said he couldn't care less.

"All good here to sir." I told him, trying to copy the tone Bianca used and failed pretty badly.

I will see you all bright and early tomorrow for breakfast and schedule handouts, good night." He said in a bored tone and he walked off.

"Well, I should probably get going back to my room." Bianca told us. "My room mate, some cherokee girl named Piper, will probably worry about me. She seems nice enough. Now go get ready for bed Nico." She told him and he scurried off.

"Well, I guess I will see you tomorrow at breakfast." I told her, trying to act cool. Then she hugged me.

"Thank you thank you thank you." she said, her head resting on my shoulder. We were about the same height.

"For what?" I asked her, I wasn't complaining, but I was confused.

"For being a good roommate to Nico. You are a good person, I can tell. Most people would get mad at him and some really bad people would hit him. But you are different, I can tell." she told me as she let me go, I was a little disappointed she let go, I never bucked up enough to hug her back.

"Its no problem, Nico is kinda like the brother I never had." I told her.

she gave me one last smile that made my stomach turn and my heart skip a beat. Then she left and I shut the door. I went back to my room and got around for bed, stopping to trace the scars on my back in my mirror.

Weak

Freak

Bastard

At one point I thought they were all true, but after tonight, I didn't think of myself as a freak anymore. I was one my way to having two great friends. No freak could have good of friends as Nico and Bianca. Bianca. she was probably the most perfect person on the planet, after my mom. I knew she would never like me, but I was ok with that. I knew no girl would ever love me because of how strange I look.

Nico knocked at my door and I hurried out my shirt on. When I opened the door, he was holding two decks of cards.

"Wanna try and learn how to play Mythomagic?" he asked me, sounding hopeful.

I was about to say no and go to bed when I looked into his puppy dog eyes and my resolve broke instantly.

"Sure buddy." I told him. We played until 9, then I made him go to bed, despite his complaints. He was crazy good and I learned he was dyslexic like me. He had every god card and was only missing the Hades figurine. I almost won once or twice, but he pulled through in the end.

The next day I was up bright and early when bugle music was blasted over the loudspeaker system. I dragged Nico and myself down stairs and too breakfast. Bianca was saving us seats next to a familiar figure.

"Grover?!" I called to him and he spun around and a large smile grew on his face.

"Percy!" he called to me and I walked up to him and pulled him into a bro hug.

"I didn't know you went here, does this ,mean Darren goes here too?" I asked him quietly and his face fell.

"No he doesn't, thank the gods." he told me and I introduced him to Nico, he had already met Bianca.

After breakfast, we had a mile hike through the wilderness while Grover was forced to do pushups til his arms went numb.

After that we had our classes. I had either Grover or Bianca or both in all but one of my classes. I was only missing them in greek since Bianca took Italian and Grover had nature club.

We developed a pretty normal schedule between the four of us and we were the best of friends. Grover, I found out, hated Darren, but was forced to deal with him and sucked up to escape a beating. He loved nature more than life itself and never went anywhere without his protect nature cap.

Bianca was the absolute sweetest and nicest person I had ever met. She was perfect in every way. The way she looked out for her brother above everyone else and had been doing so for as long as either of them could remember.

Nico was like everyone's annoying little brother. No matter how annoying he got, you had to love him. Grover also learned how to play mythomagic and all four of us would play in me and Nico's dorm.

None of us liked to talk about our pasts very much and all avoided the topic if we could. That was fine by me though. I simply told them I was from New York and had ADHD and Dyslexia.

Nico and Bianca were from DC and had ADHD and Dyslexia as well. Grover was the only one who didn't and he was from long island. I figured we all had bad home lives, so I didn't touch the subject.

Everything was perfect until the winter dance. Nico, Bianca and I were the only ones not going home for the break so we had the were going to have the school all to ourselves for almost two weeks. It was going to be perfect.

When I got to the dance, Grover was nowhere to be found. Nico was in a button down and suit pants that Bianca had forced him into. I was wearing a tux that I had stolen from the drama department. Bianca, was wearing the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. It was a simple, modest black dress, but it made her look like a goddess. She was even wearing the green beret I had given her when some idiot cut her hair as a prank. The hat hid it while it regrew, but she always wore after too, that made me feel really good.

I hung out in the back of the party with Nico and Bianca while Grover was nowhere to be found, probably didn't come.

I played a quick game of mythomagic with Nico, he beat me of course, I was busy trying not to drool at how good Bianca looked. I offered to go get everyone drinks and everything started going downhill from there.

I had gotten three glasses of punch and was carefully making my way back to Bianca and Nico when a familiar figure I hoped I would never see again came up to me.

"Well, well ,well. What do we have here. Freak boy, I've missed beating you up. You never told anyone, a perfect punching bag." Darren spat in my face and I threw the punch at his face. It stopped in the air inches from my face and my jaw dropped. How had he done that.

He laughed harder when he saw my expression and threw the water back into my face. He then cracked his knuckles and was about to punch me when a blond that looked like she belonged in Cali instead of Maine stopped him.

"Leave the poor mortal alone Darren." She scolded him. "We have to catch the death filth. Grover said their names were Nico and Bianca. He said they had a friend who might be a third. Do you know who they are?" she addressed me for the last part and her eyes unnerved me. They were a cold, hard gray. No life of laughter to be found. Like she was dead on the inside. I guess being around Darren for a long time will do that to anyone.

I didn't like how she talked about Nico and Bianca, so I lied. "I have no idea who you are talking about." I told her and left to go find Nico and Bianca so we could hide from Darren and whoever the other girl was. They were up to no good, I could tell.

When I went to get them, Dr. Thorn had beaten me to it. I watched, frozen, as he grabbed both of them and dragged them out the back door. I had to save them, he was kidnapping them.

Bianca tried to break loose, but only succeeded in losing her hat. I scooped it up on my way out and sprinted after them.

"Get him!" I heard Darren shout from somewhere behind me and saw he was pointing at me.

I sprinted out the door and out into the frozen woods. I followed the small trail that Dr. Thorn had left.

When I got to a clearing I saw he was waiting there.

"Well, well, well. It looks like the third one found me." he said with a wicked grin.

"I have no idea what the hell you are talking about now let them go!" I shouted at him, hoping that this wouldn't lead to a fight. The only experience I had in a fight was losing one.

Thorn just laughed at me and suddenly, he had a tail. It flicked some sort of knife thing at me. It caught on my jacket and pinned me to a tree.

"Percy!" both DiAngelos yelled I looked at them and smiled, to let them know I was alright.

Darren came rushing into the clearing and laughed at me.

"You idiot, you want to beat up, you already hung yourself up to be hit. Who am I to argue." he laughed and gave me a solid slug in the gut. He still hadn't noticed Dr. Thorn of either DiAngelo.

A few more knife spikes flew towards him and pinned him completely to the tree next to me.

I slipped off my jacket to free myself from the tree and charged Thorn. He began to transform into some lion looking creature that had a scorpion tail that had been shooting the spikes. Bianca and Nico were stuck behind him, too scared to move.

He knocked me back into Darren with his paw and Darren was knocked out. Irony is a bitch bro, he earned being knocked out.

I was sitting dazed on the ground and Thorn flicked a few more daggers at me and Darren, I was too dazed to move, but luckily, a short black haired girl with a shield jumped in front and blocked the spikes from hitting me. The blonde girl appeared out of nowhere and started tending to Darren after she pushed my away from him. Grover caught me and set me down.

"Wait here Percy, some friends of mine are going to try and free the DiAngelos." He told me slowly, like he was talking to a 3 year old. As he was talking, I saw a silver flash in the trees.

"There is silver in the trees." I told Grover stupidly, I think Thorn hit me harder than I had first thought.

"Eat this, I will be right back." Grover told me, handing me a small cube of what looked like caramel. I tried eating it because I really had nothing to lose at this point. Monsters keeping me from everyone I care about. Thorn-who I now realized was a manticore-was keeping me from Nico and Bianca and Gabe was keeping me from my mother by shipping me to Maine.

When I tried what Grover gave me, it was the best tasting thing I had ever eaten. It tasted like a mixture of my mom's cookies and the brownies Bianca and I had made for Nico one time in Home ec. I instantly felt better and picked up a sword that Darren had dropped. I didn't really care why he had it at this point, I was just pissed at the manticore for taking my friends.

Before I could work up the courage to attack the manticore, a rain of silver arrows came down on the manticore. One missed and nicked Nico in the cheek and he started to bleed.

"Be careful!" I shouted at whoever had shot the arrows and a group of girls, all wearing silver parkas, came out of the forest. A black haired one with a silver circle on her head was in the lead.

"Permission to kill Milady?" she asked in a cold tone

"Permission granted." a auburn haired 12 year old told her she took off at the manticore.

She leaped in the air and tried to shoot it with a bow and arrows, but the manticore knocked her arrows away with his tail and she switched to hunting knives and attacked at close range.

I used the distracted manticore to get to Nico and Bianca. I grabbed both of their hands and pulled them away from the cliff. I was leading them back to the others when I felt a spike slam into the back of my right leg. I went down hard.

"Go, run guys." I told Bianca and Nico, but they didn't listen. They tried to help me up and get the spike out.

"Just go guys, save yourself and leave me, GO" I yelled at them, but again they ignored me.

"AAAGGGHHH" I heard the girl behind me scream and fall as she also got hit with a spike. I felt my leg go numb, like some kind of poison was on it.

I heard two people laughing, Darren, who was pointing at me and laughing that I was hurt, I really hate that guy. The manticore was the other one laughing. He was laughing over the fallen girl.

"You will release my hunter monster." the auburn haired girl told Thorn as he morphed back into a human shape.

"Y-you aren't supposed to be able to interfere." he said, sounding scared, but my gut told me he was faking.

"You are a monster. Hunters hunt monsters. I am a hunter. Therefore, killing you is not only within my permission, but my job." The auburn haired girl told him

"Well if that is the case, I must be leaving now. Your huntress will make a most excellent prize for my master." he told her with a grin.

The sound of helicopters could begin to be heard and machine guns being shot.

"Mortals cannot view my hunt." the auburn haired girl said in a monotone and she waved her hand. The entire helicopter turned into a sparrow and it flew away. The people had just vanished.

"While she was doing that, she hadn't noticed Thorn taking the knocked out girl. I threw the sword I took from Darren forward and managed to cut off the arm of his that was carrying the girl. He howled in pain and shot more spikes at me. One caught me just above my eye, but I had leaned back so it only left a deep cut. I could feel myself blacking out as Thorn made to grab me, but something happened at the last moment. Bianca tackled him off the cliff and they fell off.

"BIANCA!" I shouted as loud as I could, shaking everyone out of whatever trance they were in. The last thing I saw was her green beret laying on the snow. I scooped it up and held it tight. Bianca was gone. She had sacrificed herself to save me. Gabe was right, I really was weak.

Then everything black.
