We are back with Chapter 2! It took a little longer than expected to get this chapter done as we haven't been home to work on any of our stories lately. Good news is that Theseus gets his cast off soon so hopefully with both of us writing uploads will happen faster. -Orion

Disclaimer: We do not own Percy Jackson or any of the characters you will recognize. We only own the plot and some of the characters new personalities.


A boy with messy black hair and sea green eyes sits in his bedroom crying, after his stepdad had just hit him for coming home one minute late. All the boy ever wanted was for him and his mom to be able to run away from Gabe Ugliano.

"Orion?" the boy heard from outside his door. "Come on baby please open the door."

Orion got up to let his mother in. "Did he hit you again?" she asked.

Orion just nodded in response. "Oh my poor baby, that's it," Sally said. "I'm taking you to the place your father wanted you to grow up. Pack your clothes and I'll go get rid of Gabe for the night."

Orion smiled and started packing up his clothes and some of his belongings. He didn't care where he was going as long as it got him and his mother far away from Smelly Gabe. After he got his things packed his mother came back in and said, "Orion, the place where we are going is only safe for you. I will not be staying with you anymore."

"But mom," Orion said. "Why can't you go to this place too?"

"I'd rather have a friend of mine explain that to you," Sally replied then shut her eyes and whispered something that Orion couldn't make out. Orion jumped as he saw a flash of light out on the balcony and when he looked a man with black hair and blue eyes stood there.

"Orion Jackson," the man spoke. "My name is Perseus. I am an old friend to your mother. May we have a few moments Sally?"

"Take all the time you need," Sally replied and walked out of Orion's room.

"Now that she's gone I can show you the truth," Perseus said as he put his hands on Orion's head. Orion then blacked out. When he awoke Perseus was sitting beside him, "Good you are awake again. Now, do you have any questions?"

"Who are you?" Orion asked.

"I am Perseus God of Time and Heroes and the oldest child of Zeus and Hera," Perseus replied. "I am here to take you to Camp Half-Blood where you will train with fellow demigods and become a hero."

"Why can't my mom come there too?"

"Mortals cannot enter Camp Half-Blood unless invited. I could invite her, but she wants you to be safe. Don't worry about her though, she will find someone who will make her happy as I think your step father might not be coming back for a long while," Perseus smiled.

"Who's my dad?"

"That I cannot tell you, what I can say is that he will reveal to you who he is once you are safe at camp," Perseus replied. "Any other questions?"

"Nope," Orion said popping the "p".

"Good, now your mother will bring you to camp as I cannot interfere with your arrival. Once you are there come find me and I will partner you up so that you can get a tour and a place to sleep," Perseus said as he walked out of the room and let Sally back in.

"Did he tell you everything?" Sally asked.

"Everything except who my dad is," Orion replied. "He said that my dad will reveal his identity once I arrive at camp. Can we go now?"

"Sure baby," Sally replied and followed him out of the apartment and to the car. Once in the car Sally turned on the radio and put in Orion's favorite CD, the Soundtrack to Pixar's Cars.

After an hour of driving Sally turned down the radio as she heard some rumbling from behind the car. She turned suddenly onto an old dirt country road to avoid whatever it was. When she turned she lost control of the car and slammed into a tree. "Orion are you alright?"

"Yeah mom," Orion replied. "What's following us?"

"I can answer that," a voice from outside of the car said. "That is the Minotaur."

"Who are you?" Sally asked as she helped Orion out of the car.

"His name is Grover Underwood," Orion answered for him. "He was in my classes at Yancy. He however didn't have goat legs when we were there."

"That's because I'm a satyr and a protector for demigods like you," Grover said. "I went to your apartment to lead you to camp, but when I got there you were all gone. How did you know it was time to move him Sally?"

"Perseus," was all Sally could say before a huge hand grabbed her and squeezed her into dust.

"MOM!" Orion called out. "You stupid cow! Bring her back, NOW!"

The Minotaur huffed some steam out of his nose and charged full speed and then just vanished. "We need to get to camp now," Grover said. "Lord Perseus can't do much more than teleport him a little ways away. Now, RUN!"

As the boys took off running they heard trees breaking in the distance and then one landed right in front of them. "Grover go get help," Orion said. "I'll hold him off till you get back."

"No," Grover responded. "You are my responsibility and besides you don't even have a weapon."

"I don't care," Orion said with his eyes starting to glow green a little bit. "Get help out here now!"

Grover then ran off towards the camp. Once he got through the borders he began yelling, "HELP! HELP! WE NEED SOME HELP OUTSIDE THE BORDER!"

Suddenly a centaur came running towards him, "What is it Grover?"

"Chiron, Orion Jackson is going one on one with big tall and ugly," Grover replied.

"Senior Campers at arms," Chiron said to the group that had gathered around them. "Grover take him this sword. Annabeth go with him."

Grover and a girl with blonde princess curls nodded and headed out to help Orion. When they arrived outside of the border Orion was laying in a pile of monster dust with a horn in his right hand. "Grover pick him up," Annabeth said. "We have to get him to Chiron."


A/N: This chapter is shorter then expected. We wanted to make this one closer to 2000 words, but decided to let you have a chapter now then wait until later to get it. As I stated above Theseus gets his cast off this week and hopefully we can get on schedule again.

I will leave you with a question, what is the name of the ship that Clarisse is in command of when she saves Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson in The Sea of Monsters?

The first person to get the question right will earn a sneak peak on where this story is headed.

So, one of my reviews asked for Pertemis and that seems right to me. So, if you want Peremis then please review, if not then leave a review on who you'd like to see the main pairing be.

Until next time,

Orion

P.S. Instead of just reviews how about we use a poll for who you want Perseus to be with. Check profile.
