A/N: hey guys! Okay, so this is the re-written chapter 1. I know its short but I'm trying to edit and fix this story to make it a bit more interesting at the start and to help it make more sense and tie in better with the later chapters, so i hope you like it. If you have already read the whole story so far, i'm going to be going through and updating all the chapters so there will be some slight changes. Review and let me know what you think!

Also I'm going to be putting up the original 1st chapter as a short one-shot if any first time readers are interested.

"-and the police are still looking for the missing man from New York. He was last seen almost 3 weeks ago on the 7th of April. The man is described as about 5'7 with black hair..."

Sally Jackson turned the sound down on the news and sat back in the couch. She was exhausted. The worry was eating away at her conscience and she felt like she was slowly dying. Annabeth was in the kitchen making tea for the both of them. The two women had grown gradually closer over the past weeks, being there for each other. The phone rang and Sally quickly picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Ms. Jackson?" A voice of authority ran out over the phone.

"Yes"

"Would you be able to come down to the hospital? You were listed as the emergency contact for one Mr. Percy Jackson."

Sally nearly dropped the phone.

"I'll be there right away. Thank you."

As she hung up the phone Annabeth came in.

"Who was that?"

Sally looked up at the blonde and smiled.

"They found him."

Percy

I slowly opened my eyes and was instantly greeted with a blinding white light. Shutting them quickly I tried again, this time with more success. My head was throbbing and my thoughts felt muddled. The constant beeping sound wasn't helping. I flinched at the warm touch on my hand and slowly turned my head. A familiar voice reached my ears.

"Percy...?" The voice was laced with concern. It took my mind a couple seconds to figure out who it belonged to.

"Mom?" My voice was so scratchy it didn't sound like me.

My mom sighed in relief.

"Oh, Percy..!"

"Where am I...?" I felt like I should know but the beeping sound was becoming seriously annoying.

She squeezed my hand. "The hospital. What do you remember?"

Blackness. Nothing. Emptiness. I couldn't remember anything after blacking out on my way home from work, yesterday? No, no. That didn't seem right.

"What day is it." I asked suddenly

She looked at me in confusion.

"It's Wednesday."

"No the date."

"May 3rd."

How long ago was that day? 3 weeks? wait no, that's not right...months?

Well shit.

A/N: not the best ending, i know but I'm trying to get this story going. Most of the other chapters are longer, i promise! the re-write for chapter 2 should be up quite quickly as well.

Review and tell me what you think!
