Authors note: Hi guys, I have started this story because I felt all my others were pants. I have been working on it for some time before I put it up here, just so I was a little more prepared and could update more frequently (because anyone who is familiar with any of my other stories will know that I'm terrible at this!). Anyway this is chapter one of Innocence, so here it goes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson or any other character associated with the franchise. I am also aware that this story may be similar to Working Class Hero by Felicity Dream; I have no intentions to copy their work.
Prologue
Sirens rang across Central Park. A large crowd gathered to gaze upon the young boy who had collapsed in the middle of the path. The child was ghostly white and groaning. Sadness and pity hung in the air as the ambulance arrived to take the boy to hospital. A man in a paramedic jacket took the boys pulse and asked those gathered what had happened, but no one could offer an answer. Soon the boy was on a gurney and disappeared inside the metal shell of the ambulance.
The journey was short; they had arrived at the Children's Department. The boy was hooked up to a dozen machines, all monitoring different parts of his body. Dr Julian Marquez was tasked with finding the illness that had caused the collapse, but was clueless. He had seen no change in the boys' condition and had ordered a long list of tests but with no luck. Suddenly he looked up from his notes as the machines caused a commotion and he was met by a pair of bright sea green eyes staring at him.
"Hello there." He said to the boy, trying to act as calm as possible, those eyes were scaring him as they stared into his soul. "What's your name?" He tried to prompt the child into speaking, with very little results. He let out a sigh before he tried again. "My name is Julian, I want to help you. Can you tell me your name, so I can phone your parents, please?" Julian tried again and the boy seemed to lose his accusing glare and opened his mouth to reply, two words.
"Percy Jackson."
Authors note: Well that was the prologue, any thoughts? I am sorry that it is short but I didn't want to give away too much. I appreciate any comments, as long as they are constructive in some way, thanks.
