Hey! This is my new story, Back Home. AN at bottom :)

All rights go to Rick Riordan

I took a deep breathe. I admit, I was kind of scared, I new my mom more than anybody, but what if when she sees me, she scolds me, but what if she is happy to see me. But, the reaction that I'm most scared of more than anything is: what is she has moved on.

I can't worry, I told myself, I knocked on the door and waited. And waited. Nobody came, so I was about to leave, but then the door swung open, and standing there was Paul.

"Percy?" He asked.

I halfheartedly waved.

"Oh my gods," he said in shock. "Come in, Sally!"

My mom strolled out of her office yawning, she must have stayed up late last night working on her new novel.

When she saw me she's printed forward and engulfed me in a hug. "Percy," she whispered.

"Hey mom." I hugged her back. I couldn't stop the tears that filled my eyes.

"What happened? Where is Annabeth? Is she safe?" She shot question after question at me. It's funny, two seconds ago she was worried about me, now all she cares about is that my girlfriend is all right.

"She's fine mom, she's gonna stay with her dad for a while, and for that other question, well you better get comfy."

We sat down on the couch and I told my parents everything. Starting from when I woke up at the wolf house, when I fought the gorgons, how Frank and Hazel helped me make it in Camp Jupiter. I also mentioned my quest to rescue Thanatos in Alaska.I told them about how I became praetor and when Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Piper, and Coach Hedge came in the Argo II. I stopped to look at my parents. My mom was curled up on the couch, watching me. My stepdad was looking at the ground, but I knew they were both listening. I continued to where Annabeth and I separated so she could go on her epic solo death quest. And I finally got to the part where we fell into Tartarous. I stopped to figure out how to word this.

"Um, you guys know where monsters go when the killed right?" I said.

"Tartarous, why?" Paul asked.

"Well Annabeth and I fell in."

"Oh my poor baby!" She tackled me into a hug.

"Yeah," I didn't know what to say, so I just tried to water down everything that happened there. And finally I finished telling the end of the war. It felt good to finally get everything out.

"Wow," Paul said.

"Yeah," I muttered.

"Son you have exceeded all expectations, I'm proud that you are my son, I wouldn't want it any other way."

"Thanks," I murmured. I knew he was trying to make me feel better.

My mom spoke up. "Percy, I'm so sorry, I know you didn't want any of this, but as Paul said I'm proud."

She has no idea how much I didn't want any of it, but when your the subject of two great prophecies,what can you do.

My mom made her special blue pancakes and blue cookies for dinner that night, then I retreated to my room. I had trouble getting to sleep that night. I kept thinking about the quest.

Then, I remembered that I have to go to school tomorrow. Oh great, note the sarcasm

AN: Well, thanks for reading my second story, Back Home

Sorry, it's kind of short. :(

Im not sure if I want it is going to be a one shot or not, because I have school starting tomorrow and I don't know how to add chapters on my iPad, so if you know how to add chapters from an iPad please put that in a review. I would love to make it a two shot!

Please review if you liked it or didn't. I want to know what you like, and um if you didn't like it or parts of feel free to put that in a review.
