I forgot to do this in the prologue so: Thank you to everyone who has continued to support No Vampires Here! Not! through these long months.

Anistasia D Flight1962: As you can see now, I was totally wrong! I just needed to wait another day for inspiration.

Also, thank you those people who are already supporting this story!

I do not own Percy Jackson.

Chapter 1:

12:45:27; December 16, 2010:

"Percy!" Sally Jackson yelled, bursting into her son's bedroom. "Percy, I've been calling you for the past ten minutes! Just because you don't go to school anymore doesn't mean you can sleep till one in the afternoon!"

As her words went unanswered, Mrs. Jackson finally noticed that there was no one to answer them. The bedroom had been devoid of any life until she came in. What she noticed the most though was the open closet missing three sets of clothes instead of one, a freezer she had never known about revealed at the back of the closet, Percy's backpack - not worn since he stopped going to school - missing from its spot in the corner, and a box that Sally knew held all of Percy's valuables open and empty on the bed. But what struck at her the most was the note pinned to Percy's desk.


13:05:12; December 16, 2010:

"I keep telling you!" Sally yelled at the man in front of her. "I suspected nothing! Sure, he was acting off, but teenagers do that! How was I supposed to know he would run away!"

"Ma'am," Detective Branson tried to interrupt her.

"And I've also told you that no, I don't know where he went! His note said nothing but that he was traveling with a friend and not to worry! I don't know what friend, I don't why they left, I don't know anything except that my little boy is gone!"

"Ma'am," Officer Haley said gently. "We know. We would just like for to come down to the station with us. That way you can give us a statement and we can inspect the apartment for any clues. It is a win-win situation."

"You mean you get me out of the way and get something done at the same time!" the hysterical woman yelled.

"Yes," Officer Haley said, not trying to get around the subject. She had dealt with mothers before over such issues, and often times blunt, direct business was the only way to deal with them.

Apparently, Ms. Jackson was one of those woman, for she quieted down before saying softly, "Let me grab my purse and coat. I can call some friends too."

"Thank you," Detective Branson muttered to his colleague as they waited at the door.

A simple smile was all he got in return.


13:57:47; December 16, 2010:

"Chiron, I don't know what to do. I've given the police a statement," Sally told the centaur through the Iris message, "but Percy's just gone. And I don't know who he's traveling with. I don't even know why he left."

"We can rule out most of the campers. I can call some others. And I don't know either Sally. But have you tried Iris messaging him?"

"Yes. It was the first thing I did before calling the police. It didn't work. Whatever this is, it wasn't sudden like the mess in his room made me and the police believe. It was thought out. And I can't tell the police cause I don't have anything to prove it!"

Noticing the woman was starting to go hysterical again, Chiron said, "Alright Sally. You rest and work with the police. I'll start IMing everyone I can."

"Alright," she said softly. "Thanks, Chiron." And she swept through the message.


14:02:01; December 16, 2010:

"What do you mean he's gone!?" Poseidon roared in outrage, staring daggers at Chiron. "He couldn't have just disappeared!"

"As much as I hate to admit it," Athena said to the counsel and Chiron (through the IM), "But kelps for brains is right. Percy isn't exactly known for thinking things through, but he did this. And no one can find him. But he couldn't have just disappeared."

"And I'll prove it," Artemis declared, standing up. "My hunters and I will hunt him down."

"Very well," Zeus decided. "In the meantime, everyone contact your kids. Make sure they aren't this friend he was talking about. Counsel dismissed."

As the gods and goddesses exited the room, they all had one thought. "At least everyone is at camp for the Annual Christmas Cook Out."


14:07:59; December 16, 2010:

All of camp looked up, startled, as flashes of light appeared all over. Then, realizing what they were, they all looked down again even faster. After the lights had died away, the campers looked up again to stare at their parents and then Chiron, who had trotted out of the Big House.

"Campers," the centaur called, "Go to your cabins! Your parents have something to discuss with you."

Looking at each other and muttering questions, the demigods did as he said.


14:10:31; December 16, 2010; Athena's Cabin:

Athena, once all her kids were inside, asked, "Is anyone missing from the cabin?"

"No, mother," Annabeth replied, looking at her questioningly.

"Good," the goddess muttered before saying, looking at her kids, "Perseus Jackson has run away, taking a friend with him. The gods do not know which friend, so we are checking."

"What?" Annabeth gasped. "Why would he run away?"

"We don't know that either," Athena said grimly.


14:09:45; December 16, 2010; Poseidon's Cabin:

"Daddy? What's going on? And where is Percy?" Tyson asked, bottom lip trembling.

"Percy is fine, Tyson," Poseidon promised the cyclops. "We just don't know where he is or when he'll come home."

Apparently, that was enough to upset Tyson for he burst into tears.


14:11:17; December 16, 2010; Apollo's Cabin:

"Apollo?" Rachel questioned, the oracle having gone with the Apollo kids. "What's happening?"

"The gods know nothing except that Percy has run away with a friend. The gods are checking for their kids."

"And has anyone thought about if this friend is mortal?" Will Solace asked.

"Ms. Jackson is covering that angle," Apollo told his son before noticing that his oracle had a funny face on. "Rachel?"

"Was Hades at the meeting?" She asked.

"No. He said he was too busy. Hephaestus caught Ares and Aphrodite together again and blew up a volcano. The lines are backed up in the Underworld because of all the people who died because of it."

"So who's checking for Nico?" Rachel questioned, staring at him.

The god of the sun froze before saying slowly, "No one. Why?"

"Because he asked me a question about Percy that caused a prophecy. He ran away really quickly without telling me what I said. I thought nothing of it then because nothing happened."

"Has anyone seen him?" Apollo demanded.

"He didn't come," Will replied. "He told us weeks ago."

Immediately, Apollo yelled, "Cover your eyes!" before transporting himself to Hades' palace.


14:21:09; December 16, 2010; Hades' Palace:

"Hades!" Apollo screamed as he appeared in the Underworld while thanking Hermes for giving him the pass that he never gave back. "Hades!"

"What?" the god of the Underworld snapped, sending a bunch of ghosts off with a wave of his hand. "I'm busy. There's a reason I didn't come to the meeting when I heard it was about Perseus."

"No, you don't understand," Apollo cried. "Percy has run away!"

Hades let a flash of surprise cross his face before snarling, "So? What's it to me?"

"He left a note that said he's traveling with a friend. Ms. Jackson is checking all the mortals and we are checking the demigods."

Apollo didn't have to continue. Hades got it. "Nico," Hades whispered before sprinting into the dark abyss of his palace hallways, Apollo close behind.

"Nico! Nico!" Hades called as he reached his son's room. When no answer came for a minute, the god threw open the door and barged in, his nephew following.

Once inside, it was obvious that the fourteen year old was gone. The letter on the bed and the missing valuables confirmed it.

There! Three pages and over 1300 words! does happy dance And this was only supposed to be a short filler for when everyone found out! Woohoo!

Question, though. Do you want this story to be a Pertamis? Obviously, Percabeth is out because Percy is immortal and Annabeth isn't. Perlia I don't think will fit the story. And I hate Rachel/Percy (sorry lovers). So, if Percy's going to be paired with someone, it will be Artemis. However, if you guys don't want it, tell me. Your wish is my command!

Although, right now, I would like you to return the favor and follow my command of 'Review!'
