Chapter two – A New Home

Percy's Pov

I stared ahead blankly as I sat at the breakfast table. I have been staying with my mom for a year now, hoping that my heart would heal, but it hasn't. Day after day I wait for the ever present ache to just disappear, but apparently the odds are not in my favor on this one.

I dip my spoon into my cereal and raise it to my mouth. Just as I was about to take a bite, my mom walked in with a guilty expression on her face. Immediately I know something has happened.

"What happened? Is something wrong? Is Paul okay?" Mom holds her hands up for me to slow down.

"Slow down Percy! Everything's fine, but we need to talk about some things." I look at her pointedly to continue.

"You know that I love you right?" I nod my head. "Then you know that I can't stand aside and watch you in live pain! It's killing me to see you living your life on autopilot! Please understand that I'm doing this because I love you!" I hold up my hand, stopping her from continuing.

"What are you doing that's "for my own good?" I asked slowly. What did she do that could possibly make me mad at her?

"I'm sending you to live with your uncle in Washington. He has a daughter that has gone through something similar so maybe–"

I narrowed my eyes, "Really? She had the love of her life ripped away from her by an evil family member. I highly doubt that she has been through an ounce of what I have!"

She looks at me sadly, "Maybe not, but she has been in this state before. Apparently she has been through a lot, by mortal standards anyway. Please think about this. It could be good for you. Please."

She turned to walk away, but I caught her by the shoulder before she could get away.

"Wait Mom, I'll go. If you really think that this will help me get better than I'll do it." I conceded. "When do I leave and how long will I be there?"

She smiled at me, "Thank you Percy! You'll leave on Friday of this week. You will also finish your senior year there. Hopefully by then, you will have a clear head."

I nod silently, and walk to my room to pack; I only had a couple days before I would be off to Washington. I was determined to make the most of this: no gods, no monsters, and no myths.

I walked out of the plane, relieved that I was finally back on the ground, out of Uncle Zeus' domain. If I never fly again it will be too soon!

I walk around the airport looking for my mortal uncle, Charlie. It probably wouldn't be the easiest thing in the world since the only time I've ever seen him is from a picture that my mom showed me. Hopefully he would have one of those signs that they have in the movies with my name on it. It would make my job a whole lot easier.

After wandering around aimlessly for a long time, I see a man that looks like the picture. He had brown hair and a moustache that had just a bit of gray, but what really gave him away was the police suit that he was wearing. Huh, that wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

I start walking over there, really hoping that this was the right guy.

Charlie's Pov.

I was in the airport, waiting for my nephew to get here from New York. My step-sister Sally said that he has been through a lot these past few years and needed a change of scenery because of some traumatic things that have happened. I offered to have him here because I know that Bella has been through about the same thing when the Cullen's left. We decided that he will finish high school here in Forks, even though there is really only a semester left.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice someone walking up to me.

"Excuse me? Is you name Charlie by any chance?" The young man asked.

My eyes widened, "Percy Jackson?" The last picture I had seen of Percy Jackson was when he was twelve. He was a small, tan, scrawny kid, but that was not what I saw in front of me. If he wasn't so tan and have such bright, green colored eyes, then he could fit in very well with the Cullen's. He had dark, raven black hair, and sea green eyes. He also had very tan skin, and he had this air around him that just radiated power and screamed for respect. But there were a few things that scared me a bit: his scars for instance. He had visible scars on his arms, and I could see more peeking out from under his shirt. The worst thing though, was the look in his eyes. It was like I was being transported back when Bells was in her catatonic state. Percy's eyes were blank, dead, and void of all positive emotions. I could see the pain, loss, and anger flowing through his eyes.

"Yeah that's me." He gave a small smile, but I could see that it was a bit forced.

I felt a bit awkward standing there; I really couldn't think of anything else to say.

"So . . . are you ready to get going?" I was hoping to get back home as soon as possible, there was a game about to start. He nodded his head. I waved at him to follow me, and I lead him back to the cruiser. We both got into the car silently, neither willing to break the silence.

Finally he broke the silence.

"So how are things on Forks?" He asked awkwardly

I cleared my throat. "Well cold and rainy as always. Graduation is in a couple of months, so you won't have to worry about school for too long, but there might be some other things to hold you attention." His head snapped up, his eyes wide in protest.

"Umm, I'm not looking for a girlfriend anytime soon!"

I shook my head. "That's not what I meant, I was thinking more along the lines of the soap opera going on inside the house." Percy looked at me questionably.

"Well Bella has this boyfriend, Edward Cullen, but she also has a few suitors just itching for the two of them to break up. There is one though, a family friend, Jacob Black. When the Cullen's left last year, she went catatonic." He winced. "Jacob put the pieces back together, and I thought that maybe they'd get together. Well one day I leave for a couple hours only to come home to a house with no Bella. I turns out that she went to god-knows-where to "help" a friend, and when she comes back home a few days later, the Cullen's come back with her. It was like they never left. She just accepted them back with open arms. She pretended like they didn't shatter her heart into a million pieces." I looked down. How could my daughter be so naïve? I turn my head to look at Percy, only to see that he is looking down at his hands.

"Are you okay son?" He winced again.

"I know you're not going to like what I'm about to say, but I can sympathize with her." It was my turn to look at him confusedly. "When I was twelve, I got into some stuff that I wish didn't exist." There was a loud clap of thunder, and he winced again and mumbled a quick sorry. "The point is that even though it was a mess, the thing that kept from going insane was my friends, well one person in particular. She kept me grounded, and she was the best thing that had ever happened to me. But last year," he hesitated, "it all came crashing down around me. I lost everything that I worked for, everything that I loved. So I can understand where she's coming from. When Bella left last year she was probably going after Edwin," "Edward." "Yeah whatever, but what I mean is that he was probably in trouble and she was most likely going after him, to help him."

After that was said, he turned toward the window and put his forehead against the glass. A few lone tears ran down his face. I was about to console him, but all of a sudden it felt like I was on the beach; I felt a warm breeze that smelled of the beach. I looked around the car for the source of the smell, but as quick as it came it left. I guess I imagined the whole thing. Oh well we are almost home any ways.

Third person POV.

Charlie was so caught up in his thoughts that he missed the small, genuine smile on that made its way onto Percy's face.

Percy was happy for the first time in a while. His father was looking after him. He was getting a fresh start at a place that held no memories of her, and best of all, no one here has heard of Percy Jackson or all the "bad" things that he has done. This could be a new start for him. Maybe he could have a normal life here; maybe he could just forget about everything mythological. He could leave his past behind him and be a normal teenager.

Except that never happens in the real world. Nothing ever goes the way that anyone wants to go. Reality comes breaking through the clouds of everyone's fantasy world at some point. This time it just happened to be sooner rather than later.

Ok so here it is people! Like, love, hate?
