Whispers of the Sea

Full Summary: AU, When Percy Jackson finds himself lost and alone in Northern Maine, he finds more than he bargained for as creatures he thought were only real in mythology begin attacking him. As he struggles to find out the truth behind these mysterious attacks, he makes some new friends and discovers a long hidden secret about his heritage along the way. Set two years before TLT.

Author's Note: Well I decided to post a PJO story because I have always wondered what would happen if Percy found out about his heritage before the events of The Lightning Thief. So this is my version of this and yes, it can be taken as a father/son fic so yeah. Oh and there are OC characters, as well as made up schools, in this story and I'll try not to make the story OOC. I haven't read past The Titan's Curse yet so I decided to do an AU of before TLT. Here is the first chapter, I hope you like it and reviews are appreciated

Chapter 1

I Find Myself Lost In Maine

To say my life really sucked would only be half of the truth, I believed that my life was terrible. I was only ten years old and yet not only have I been kicked out of almost every single school that I have gone to but also everyone seemed to hate me wherever I go.

Yeah, you can say its' not easy to deal with that kind of stuff.

The fact that I have ADHD and I'm dyslexic does not help matters at all. Everyone still treats me as though I'm some sort of freak who got kicked out of military school. For being only ten, I have been kicked out of nearly six schools. At least I think its' that many, it could be more, it could be less.

My mom, Sally Jackson, always tried to encourage me when it came to starting a new school and she always warned me not to get into any fights, which is how I usually get kicked out of the school.

Needless to say, I don't really listen to her.

That would certainly explain why I got kicked out of the newest school I started not even a day after I started it. It started at lunch, I was just minding my own business at my table, eating my lunch and wondering if I was ever going to leave New York State.

Yeah, a dream that is not likely to come true any time soon though I wish it would.

There was this kid, his name was Keith, and he was the biggest bully and jerk at East Shore Academy. He always seemed to like picking fights with dyslexic kids and, unfortunately, I was the first kid that he set his eyes upon.

Oh joy.

"Well if it isn't Percy Jackson?" Keith said walking over to join them with his two thug friends just behind him. I called them thugs because they certainly looked like thugs that always stand around on the streets. Well, they were huge, muscular with scowls plastered across their faces so yeah, you would think they were thugs too.

Apparently the people that sat at the other end of the table where I was sitting thought so to for almost as soon as Keith and his gang appeared, they instantly hurried away from the table.

"I don't want trouble," I said calmly narrowing my eyes.

Keith laughed. "I still don't see how you got into this school? You are nothing but a stupid dyslexic," he snapped.

I narrowed my eyes. Hey, it wasn't as if I could help being dyslexic, I don't even know why I was dyslexic. I didn't say anything in reply, I was just waiting for Keith to strike and I would be able to get him expelled, instead of me for once. Considering my History teacher, who also happened to teach language but had transferred to East Shore over the summer, Mr. Brunner, was at the doorway, watching the cafeteria with narrowed eyes.

Don't call me crazy but I have this feeling that Mr. Brunner has been following me everywhere, I could have sworn he was at my last school and at the school I had gone to before.

I'm probably just in over my head, as usual.

"Didn't you hear me, you idiot? Or are you as stupid as you look?" Keith snapped angrily.

I blinked. "Did you say something?" I asked.

Keith scowled angrily before punching me hard in the face and I was sent flying off of my seat.

Just my luck, Mr. Brunner wasn't watching, of course.

I scowled but before I could say anything, a voice yelled loudly, "Food fight!" And the cafeteria instantly exploded into battle.

Don't ask me how a real fight had turned into a food fight in a matter of seconds because I haven't the slightest clue.

Keith scowled but before he could swing his fist at me again, I sidestepped him and he tripped before his face slammed directly into my tray of food. Keith scowled angrily as he wiped the food away before he grabbed another piece of food and tossed it at me. I dodged and it flew over my head before slamming into the nine-year-old fifth grader, Lillian, straight in the face.

Lillian screamed in surprise and I had to dodge once again as she started to through food back at me. The food fight was growing a bit ugly and real fights were starting to break out in the corners of the cafeteria.

Great.

I barely avoided getting slammed by the cafeteria tray when Keith tossed it at me but his milk did catch me in the side of the head. Keith leapt at me but I dodged out of the way just as a loud shout sounded.

"What is going on here?" Mrs. Dimitri, who was also someone I thought I had seen at my other schools, shouted and the fighting instantly stopped as the vice principal stalked deeper into the cafeteria.

"Who started this fight?" Mrs. Dimitri demanded.

"Percy did," Lillian shouted pointing at me.

Of course, blame the dyslexic kid.

I sighed, I guess I was getting kicked out of yet another school.

"Mr. Jackson, please come with me," Mrs. Dimitri said in a cool voice.

"Yes maam," I muttered before I followed the vice principal out of the cafeteria. Almost self-consciously I glanced at the spot where Mr. Brunner was sitting but the teacher in the wheelchair was gone.

In my opinion, that was just strange.

Mrs. Dimitri stopped when we reached the office. "Please go inside, Mr. Jackson, I will join you soon," she said and I nodded before walking into the office and gazing around. I walked over to a nearby door and sat down but I could hear some voices sounding outside in the hallway that passed by the second door of the main office.

"It's early, it usually always happens in the sixth grade, not in the fifth, why does it always happen when they're so young?" A voice sounded and I recognized it as the boy who always seemed to be trying to become friends with me, his was known as Grover. The only reason I didn't hang out with him was because Keith seemed to like picking on, not just dyslexic kids but also weird kids.

Uh, no offense to Grover intended, I actually thought he was a nice guy.

"We can't be sure if Mrs. Dimitri is really that," Mr. Brunner's slightly familiar voice sounded. "You still have a duty to perform, which is why I want you to keep watching him."

"Sooner or later he's going to think I'm a stalker."

"That's a risk we're going to have to take."

Frankly, I hadn't the slightest clue as to what Mr. Brunner and Grover were talking about. I didn't have enough time to think about that as Mrs. Dimitri came back into the office with the principal, Mr. Luther, walked in behind her.

"Would you like to explain what had happened in the cafeteria Mr. Jackson?" Mr. Luther asked as he came to a stop in front of me.

"Lillian lied to you, Keith was the one that started the fight," I said rubbing my jaw. Yeah, my jaw still ached from when Keith punched it and I was pretty sure I was going to have a bruise the size of an apple by tomorrow.

Mrs. Dimitri snorted. "I honestly doubt that is true," she said. "I suggest immediate expulsion."

"What? But I didn't do anything," I protested.

Mr. Luther nodded. "I will contact Mrs. Jackson and let her know," he said before walking out of the office and I scowled after the principal's retreating form.

Great, two schools in one school year. Then again, it could be worse, I could be being chased by a monster right now. Ha, yeah, as if that would really happen.

Unfortunately, I didn't know how wrong I was.

~*~

After Mr. Luther called my mom, I was forced to stay in the main office until my mom came to pick me up. Yeah, I was left in the company of Mrs. Dimitri who, for some reason, would not stop staring at me.

When you're ten and you have a teacher staring at you as though you were an enemy, it can creep you out.

And Mrs. Dimitri's stares were creepy.

Trust me.

Anyway, Mrs. Dimitri just continued to glare at me as if I had done something wrong, even though I didn't and then she spoke. "You know, Perseus Jackson, you are in much trouble for what happened today," she said.

For a moment I didn't register what she was saying until I noticed that she had said 'Perseus' instead of 'Percy.' No one, except my mother and my step-dad, knew what my full name was and I was a bit surprised and uneasy to know that Mrs. Dimitri knew my full first name.

"Um, like I said, Mrs. Dimitri, I didn't start it, Keith did," I said.

"Now, now, honey, don't lie to me, I know you did it," Mrs. Dimitri said.

When in the world did she think she had the right to calling me 'honey'? Well, I thought you knew because I sure don't.

"I'm not lying I didn't do it."

Mrs. Dimitri narrowed her eyes. "You've been giving us a lot of problems, honey," she said.

"Problems? I'm not the one that has been giving you problems," I protested.

At least not at this school but I wasn't about to tell her that.

"We are not fools, Percy Jackson, It was only a matter of time before we found you out;. Confess and you will suffer less pain," Mrs. Dimitri snapped.

I was really starting to think that Mrs. Dimitri was hitting the alcohol a little bit too much.

"I don't know what you are talking about," I protested almost self-consciously getting to my feet and back away from the teacher.

"Your time is up!" Mr. Dimitri hissed angrily and she suddenly disappeared and reappeared as a shriveled hag with bat wings, claws and yellow fangs.

Wait a minute! Yellow fangs? What the heck was going on?

I backed away again before doing the only thing that I could think of doing right now. I turned around and ran as fast as I possibly could from the main office.

"Wait, Percy, stop!" Grover's familiar voice sounded but I was too freaked out to stop running and I found myself outside of the school. The bat-winged creature was still flying rapidly after me and I found myself unable to find a way away from it.

"Percy!" Mr. Brunner suddenly shouted and I saw a gold pen fly across the sky. I grabbed it before staring at it.

It's a pen.

A pen!

"Open it," Grover shouted and I saw him running toward me but behind the hag that was quickly gaining on me. Unable to think of anything else, I uncapped the pen and almost instantly a bronze sword appeared.

"Whoa," I said.

"Swing it!" Grover shouted.

I, not knowing what else to do, swung the sword swiftly and it sliced straight through the hag and the creature disappeared into a pile of what looked like ash. I capped the pen and the bronze sword disappeared.

Okay, that's it, I'm out of here, this place is starting to freak me out. Not even waiting for Grover or Mr. Brunner to catch up with me, I turned around and ran as fast as I possibly could away from East Shore Academy.

~*~

To say the least, I don't remember much of the time when I was running. I do remember Grover and Mr. Brunner yelling at me to stop and I also remember getting into a taxi and tell the driver to get me away from there, anywhere from there.

I honestly did not expect to find myself several states away from New York.

Yeah, I found myself in Maine when the taxi came to a stop.

If you're wondering why, I haven't the slightest clue. I do remember that I owed the driver a lot of money and, well, I didn't have that kind of money on me.

"Kid, you'd better pay me," the taxi driver said.

"Um, I only have twenty dollars on me," I said pulling out the twenty dollar bill my mom had given me the day before.

The driver snorted. "You're two hundred and fifty five dollars short," he snapped.

Good God, I owed this man two hundred and fifty five dollars! How far did we travel since we left New York?

"I don't have any more money," I protested.

"Well then, you're screwed," the driver snapped. He took the twenty dollars before driving off and I found myself abandoned on the side of the road.

Great, I was somewhere in Maine and I didn't even know where in the world I was. I let out a long sigh. This was definitely not my best day.

And, just my luck, it was just about to get worse.

Palpypie: what do you mean, your turf?!

Blaze: he's the God of the Sea

Palpypie: Oh God

Poseidon: hey, he's mine, he's on my turf

Zeus: well toss him into the sky when you're done, then he's on my turf

Palpypie: noooooo!

Blaze: (laughs) whoops, long author's note, please review and I'll post chapter 2 as fast as I possibly can but I doubt it will be anytime soon.
