Sally just gave birth to her daughter Persephone, the nurse cleaned her up and gave Persephone to Sally. Sally gave the nurse a pained smile when little Persephone opened her eyes. Persephone had his eyes, his hair. From that day she hated her own child.
Sally didn't want to hate her child, but she did because she looked like him. Persephone was around three and eating her baby food, Sally was barely keeping up with money. She needed a boyfriend, but what boyfriend wants a girlfriend with a child?
A few months later Sally and Persephone moved to Gades Apartment. Gabe was Sally's boyfriend but Sally couldn't stand Gabe. So after a few months Sally packed up all her things, and took her money and left. Leaving little Persephone with Gabe, Sadly Persephone remembers her. And once Sally left Gabe started abusing Percy, he kicked her in the ribs and he loved it. From then on he did that every night, and the nights Gabe wasn't home Percy would watch the only thing that stayed with her. Her favorite movie 'Benny and Joon'.
When she was 7 she knew how to cook, and how to stay quiet. Percy was thin and small, she was washing the dishes when Gabe started yelling at her. He grabbed the bottle of bleach and dumped it over her head. He then kicked her in the rips, and punched her jaw. At the end of the beating Percy's hair was white, she luckily got to take a shower and she washed out the bleach. Her hair that went to her hips was as white as white can be, but her scalp didn't burn after she took a shower.
She went to school the next day and was bullied because her hair was now white. When the teachers asked her about it Percy didn't answer, she was now mute to most people. She only talked to herself when she was in her room (closet).
When she was nine years old, her hair grew out about 4 inches and Gabe started throwing glass and cutting her with knives. She went to her room one night with a few shards of glass in her. She sat on the floor and slowly pulled the shards out but the last shard of glass fell out of her hand and made a tiny cut on her skin. She didn't know why but she loved it, she took the shard and dragged it across her skin.
She loved it, the broken glass being dragged across her skin. At the end of the day she had a few cuts on her legs and arms each. And that's how she lived her life, about a year later she went insane. The only thing that stuck in her mind was Pain, that's what she had on her mind 24/7. Her movie that she watches every once in a while was the only thing keeping her somewhat sane.
One day, her hair was in dutch braids and her braids were in buns. Her buns were white while the rest of her hair was black. Gabe was fed up with her, and she knew he wasn't going to cut words on her. He was going to kill her, she cried blood, but then grinned like a maniac. She grabbed a knife and started stabbing him and anyone else in the room.
She had some blood on her clothes and skin, but she didn't care. They looked disgusting, but she found that she loved it. She grinned and thought back to her mother, she was an awful person.
Flash Back
"Mommy, mommy" Persephone called for reaching out for her mom.
"No you little shit," Sally said to her daughter and walked away from her. Persephone started to cry, "You don't deserve to cry, you're a waste of space and a mistake". Sally said to her, Persephone quieted down.
End
Percy thought about looking for her mother and killing her too but she didn't know how to find her. Percy had a wild untamed look in her eyes, as she grabbed her stuff and the kitchen knives. The first thing she needed was a laptop that could play her movie, so she ran to a store that would have that and stole it.
She had people running after her but she didn't care she was insane, wild, and abused. She ran into the park and ran into a boy around her age. The police weren't far behind her so she grabbed a knife and held it to his neck.
The boy was strange, he had a scar on his face but then again she probably did too. He had sandy blonde hair and sky blue eyes, and a deep tan. She faces the police while holding the knife to the boy's thought.
"Look girly, put the knife down. I'm sure you didn't know that you have to pay for a laptop" a police officer said to her. They were trying to calm down an insane person, a person that knows nothing but pain. She dug the knife into his skin and it started to draw blood, she's had blood before but found that she didn't really like Gabes or his buddies blood that much. To bland as her blood was sweet, she looked at the blood. She lowered her face and licked the blood up, it wasn't as sweet as hers.
Then she was tackled by a police officer, she stabbed him in the shoulder and ran into the forest. The boy she threatened, was confused she was crying blood and was covered with blood and scars. After having the mortal medic check him out he ran into the forest to look for the girl. He ended up finding a monster and followed the monster who was tracking the girl.
Before the hellhound could get to Percy, Luke pulled out his sword and killed it. Percy was happily watching her movie on the laptop, over and over again. Luke just watched her in the bushes, she was clearly a demigod, and clearly insane. Luke slowly walked out of the bushes, once she saw him she held a knife to him.
"Look, I'm not going to hurt you" he saw her calm down a little, "I'm Luke Castellan I want to be your friend" Luke tried. She looked confused, "do you not know what a friend is?" Luke asked and she pushed the knife closer to him. He sighed and took the knife out of her hands and threw it away. She backed up still with an insane and wild look in her eyes, she went to grab another knife. But Luke tackled her, "No" Luke said and threw her bag away. She started shrugging and trying to hurt him.
He held her down in his lap, he turned on her movie because that was the only thing that seemed to calm her down. She instantly calmed down and focused on the movie, she even snuggled into Lukes warmth. Luke ran his fingers through her loose hair and she seemed to purr, it took all he had not to chuckle. So he just held her tightly as she watched the movie, by the end with Lukes warmth and running his fingers through her hair and it being late she fell asleep.
Luke sighed, he put her down and grabbed her backpack. He left the clothes in the backpack and put the laptop and movie in the backpack. He put it over his shoulder and picked the girl up and started walking to a road to get to camp.
Kitten, that's what Luke started calling her. Kitten looked somewhat peaceful when she was asleep, but Luke could see all the scars over her legs and arms and the small one on her face. Luke hailed a taxi and told them she was his friend, they drove them to half blood hill. Luke paided the person and they left, Luke sighed as he carried the girl up the hill. Just as he got to Thalia's tree the sun started to come up.
Luke walked to the big house and knocked on the door, Chiron answered it. "Hello Luke, what can I do for you?" he asked, then looked at what's in Luke's arms.
"She's a demigod, and I'm pretty sure insane" Luke said,
"I see and what's her name?" Chiron asked.
"I don't know, I've been calling her Kitten" Luke answered, Chiron nodded
"Take her to the infirmary, when Mr. D wakes up, we'll see what we can do" Chiron said. Luke nodded and walked to the infirmary, he laid her on a bed and tied her long hair into a messy bun. He just watched her sleep, and a few minutes later Lee walked in.
"Um hey Luke, who is this?" Lee asked,
"I don't know, I found her or she ran into me. Do you think you can give her a check up while she sleeps?" Luke asked with a worried smile. Lee nodded and got to work,
"She's extremely thin, and covered with scars and cuts. It seems that her hair has never been cut and the white part is bleached. She's really unhealthy," Lee said to Luke and Chiron as Chiron and Mr. D walked into the room.
Percy started to stir, and Luke got in a fighting stance. Percy woke up and once she figured out she was in a different place, jumped up and looked around for anything. She looked terrifying and horrified, and completely insane.
"Ok and she's insane, what do you want me to do?" Mr. D asked them as Percy found a vase and threw it at Lukes head. She found that she couldn't do anything, she had nothing with her and they did.
"Can you make it so she isn't insane?" Luke asked Mr. D,
"Nah" Mr. D said then walked out of the room as Percy tried throwing other things and getting away.
Luke sighed, "Kitten, we're not going to hurt you, just calm down" Luke said calmly. Percy didn't calm down, Lee finally tackled her and gave her a shot and she fell asleep. She was now whimpering in her sleep. "Ok so how do we help her?" Luke asked,
"How did you get her here?" Lee asked.
"Well after I threw her knives away I just held her down and played the movie she was watching. The movie seems like the only thing that keeps her somewhat sane." Luke said,
"Ok, while she's asleep, let's try to help her physically, and when she wakes Luke I think you should try helping her mentaly." Chiron said and Lee and Luke nodded, Lee started working on her starting with tube feeding, then healing any cuts. Luke held her hand as she mumbled and whimpered in her sleep.
Around lunch time she started to wake up again, Luke was now alone with her. "Look I'm not going to hurt you, I want to help you" Luke said to her. She tried to get away from him as he pulled her towards him. She started hitting him, trying to get away from him. Luke tightened his grip and she screamed as loud as she could. "If you stop screaming then will watch your movie later" Luke said to her as he let go of her. She stopped screaming and there were most campers at the doorway looking at them. "Come on let's go get some lunch" Luke said and tried leading her out of the room.
She looked confused, she never had lunch before. But she wanted her movie and he was holding it, so she slowly followed him. They sat down at a table which was weird for her, and she started mumbling to herself. Talking to the ghosts was fun, but Luke gave her a weird look.
"Can you tell me your name?" she didn't answer, as she looked around and examined the knife on the table. "Fine, then I'm going to call you kitten," Luke said as the food was placed in front of them and Percy started cutting herself. Luke saw Percy drag the knife across her skin and grabbed the knife. "No, Kitten," Luke said to her, "No cutting" Luke said to her and she started to act up.
She tried cutting Luke but Luke was too fast and took the knife from her hand and held her as she fought and struggled. She started crying blood and fighting more, but she was completely quiet. A few minutes later she stopped but was still really stiff, Luke slowly let her go. "Eat Kitten, do make me feed you" Luke said and pushed a plate of food towards her. She looked at it, and only recognised the bread and apple. She took two bites of the apple and ate the piece of bread,
"Okay, can you eat some of the vegetables and meat?" Luke asked, and Percy looked confused. Luke pointed to the food and Percy poked it and slowly ate the food. Annabeth walked up to them and sat down across from Luke. "Hey, Annabeth"
"Hi, Luke. who's this?" Annabeth said she already hated Percy for being close to Luke.
"I don't know her name, she doesn't speak. I'm calling her Kitten, she insane" Luke answered whispering the last part. "Do you know a way to help her?" Luke asked Annabeth as Percy slowly ate the food with her fingers.
"Well you should find a person that can connect with her, or get through to her. Once she trusts them, introduce her to others" Annabeth answers. "So where did she come from?" Annabeth asked, Luke shrugged and watched Percy as she looked at a fork. Percy holds the fork like a dagger and aims for Luke's hand, but Luke caught her hand. He forced the fork out of her hand, and she started to fight against him.
"Annabeth can you help me a little?" Luke asked, Annabeth sighed and nodded. "Thanks," Luke said and turned to a fighting Percy. "Kitten, once you take a shower we'll watch your movie" Luke said to her. Percy looked almost excited, Luke held her as he walked with her and Annabeth to the showers.
Annabeth and Percy walked into the showers, and Luke waited outside. He could hear Annabeth, and the showers running. Around 25 minutes later, Percy came out in a T-shirt and sweatpants and wet hair in a braid and Annabeth followed after her exhausted.
"I'm not helping you with her again" Annabeth says as Percy tries to run but Luke catches her.
"Well, thank you always. Come one Kitten we're going to watch your movie" Luke says and carries a fighting Percy to Cabin 11. People were staring at them as Luke carried her to his cabin. Luke walked into his room and closed and locked the door. He put her on his bed and as she tried to get out he set up the movie. Once it started he grabbed her and laid down on his bed with her in his arms as she watched the movie.
She calmed down and snuggled into his warm, Luke loosen his grip and shifted as he watched the movie. By the middle of the second time watching the movie Percy was holding Luke's arm, Luke chuckled at this. Percy stiffened and dug her nails into his skin and tried to get away, Luke stopped and grabbed her hands.
"Use your words," Luke said to her and forced her to look at him. She looked scared at first, then confused, then nervous? "I'm not going to hurt you, you can talk to me" Luke says to her. She looks almost in pain, Luke engulfed her in a hug. She stiffened, she didn't know what to do, she's seen other people do this but ever to her.
Luke seeing her confused, "This is a hug, you have had a hug before right?" Luke asked. He let her go, she barely shook her head no. "Can you talk to me please?" Luke asked her, She looked at him if he was serious. She turned around and lifted her shirt so he could see the order.
Mute
Unloved
Useless
Worthless
Slave
Were scared into her back, Luke looked at it horrified. What had this girl not much younger than him gone though. Luke promised from that day on to care for this girl, to never leave her. But he'd have to leave her, Kronos. Unless she's come with him, maybe that could work.
Luke stood up and walked towards her, he pulled down her shirt and picked her up and finished the movie with her. He took her to dinner, while the rest of the cabin teased him about him and Percy being in his room for a few hours, alone, with the door closed. Percy barely ate anything, and when sacrificing she tried to reach out to feel the fire, but Luke stopped her.
It was bedtime and Luke was trying to figure out where to put her, but before he could say anything she was in the corner of the cabin in a little ball. She somehow got a piece of Glass and was dragging it across her skin. Luke walked up to her and took it from her and took her to his bed. If he was going to get her to trust him he had to stay with her 24/7. She still laid on the bed in a tight ball, until Luke forced her to lay out. Luke held her while she slept, and she purred like a kitten.
Throughout the summer Luke helped Percy, she was still quiet and was a little violent. But she would speak to him, and wouldn't hit people. Near the end, Luke started teaching Percy how to sword fight. She became best friends with Annabeth and a few others, and was an amazing acrobat.
People learned her name, Percy Jackson. Percy built up a sane personality that fit her, and Luke became almost everything to her. She was claimed by Poseidon, and she cursed him. But after that she didn't care, she practiced her powers by herself. All in all she was more sane, but that all changed when Luke left.
She didn't take it well, that year of healing her went down the drain. She was insane, so much so that Chiron had sent her to an insane asylum so she could get better. She never got better, they just found things that didn't make her go crazy.
Acrobatics was one of the things that she was calm with, but the moment someone touched her she'd attack. She's already murdered her step-father and a few others, and she likes to play with water.
At night she would scream, and chant the name Luke. Other nights she would cry blood and chant other names like Annabeth, Travis, Conner, Clairsse, and Grover. The people there kept her in a straitjacket so she wouldn't hurt herself. She would pray to the 'Greek Gods' every day and when she talked she would talk about monsters and Luke and swords.
Percy was by far the worst case the Asylum ever had, they wouldn't let any of the other patients near her. And any volunteers wouldn't go near her unless they really, really, wanted to.
One day about 2 years later, Percy was 15 and her hair was to her ankles. She wouldn't let anyone touch her, a volunteer came and insisted that he'd meet her. They warned him and he'd ignored them,
His name? Luke Castellan, Luke walked into the room Percy was kept in. She was sitting on the white bed in a straightjacket and white pants. Luke sat down on the bed and she turned to him,
The doctors just watched on the camera, they were amazed that she didn't try to kill him.
"Hi, Kitten" Luke said to her as she just looked at him,
"Are you . . . really here?" Percy crooked, Luke nodded. Percy moved closer to him, and he just held her as he said sorry to her a million times.
"I might not be able to see you again after this" Luke started, but Percy didn't care she snuggled into his warm. The warmth she missed so much after he left, "I want you to join me" Luke said almost begged.
"No" Percy said to him, "I'm not joining the wrong side" Percy said to him.
"So you're going to help the gods, and be their pawns?" Luke asked,
"Luke, you're going to be a pawn either way, so choose the side you can control your actions with" Percy said.
"I love you" Luke sighs,
"I love you too," Percy says to him. Luke leans down and plants a loving soft kiss to her lips. And they sit there in the white padded room, as Percy enjoys Luke's company. That night Percy was quiet when she went to sleep, Luke also left a movie and a note for them. The next day they set up the TV with the movie and put Percy on a beanbag in her straightjacket. The first time Percy was alone but seeing as she was calm they slowly put other kids in the room. Percy was calm as long as she wasn't touched and was watching the movie.
A month after that she was teleported to camp, Mr. D cured her until the war ended. She trained for the war she wasn't told about till then. But with all the acrobat she did while in the asylum she was a really good fighter.
She got her own sword and fought the war with her friends at her side, she fought with all she could. She was the only one that never went to the makeshift infirmary, with the way she was raised she loved pain. But the monsters and demigods couldn't even touch her, she took out a good portion of the army. But she still had to take out Kronos,
She met him with Grover and Annabeth, they were all pretty banged up. Percy ran at Luke ready to kill him, but he punched her in the rips.
"Luke. . . Luke you said you won't hurt me" Percy yelled at him, it was pretty loud that even Kronos winced. "You said . . . you said you'd heal me, that you wouldn't rest until I was healed," Percy yelled at him. She was standing but nobody knew how she was, it was impossible. She was covered in blood and golden dust, as Kronos eyes flickered from blue to gold.
"You promise family Luke" Annabeth barely says, but Luke hears and his eyes turn back to blue. Luke gasped and fell back, Percy kicked his weapon away and Annabeth threw her knife to Percy. "Percy my knife" Annabeth got out.
Percy dived for the knife and held it and passed it to Luke, who at first looked confused but then realized what to do with it. He unlatched a part of his armor exposing a piece of skin, he looked into her eyes and plunged the knife into the skin.
Luke howled like an animal dying, there was a flash of light. The light cracked Percy's lips, and made her wounds worse. After they laid a dying Luke, Percy cried real tears this time as she just held Luke to her.
Luke didn't make it, Percy only made it to the bottom of the empire state building before her insanity came back. She was put in the Asylum again, her friends loved her to death but they just can't handle her when she's insane. Luke was persistent with her, it saddens her that she's just unmanageable.

She was in the Asylums gym, using the Aerial Silks and pretty high up doing some crazy shit. Some music was playing, and a group of kids and two adults walked into the room, Percy still doing some crazy amazing stuff looked at them. She could see the monster in the group, somehow being insane clears your sight.
"This is one of the worst cases the Asylum has seen" the one wearing white said. "Percy? Do you think you can come down for a second? You can watch your movie afterwards" he called Percy.
Today Percy was more on the sane side, but she knew one little thing could change that. For instance the monster in the group of kids. Percy sighed, she twisted the silk around her waist and fell. Right before she hit the ground she caught herself, she untangled herself and sat on the ground.
"Thank you Percy," he said, Percy was bored. Her mind went to Murder of her step-father, Murder, Murder of Monsters. Before she knew it she attacked the monster, she didn't have any weapons. Even camp half-blood didn't trust her with that in her condition. She wrapped her legs around the monster's neck and started to scratch and rip him apart.
Two people gripped her and pulled her off him, and she started fighting and she was an amazing fighter. She held the upper hand, until a nurse stabbed her with a shot and she was feeling dizzy. As they were pulling her in a straightjacket a Nurse was checking the monster, she was confused and started crying blood and fighting even more.
"You people are blind," Percy yelled through her dizziness. It seemed the people paused for a moment, her eyes wild "He's a monster just like step-father" Percy yelled.
"Honey, your step-father wasn't a monster, and that boy isn't a monster" a nurse said as she dragged Percy to her room and Percy fought against it.
"What happened to her Step-father?" Piper asked hearing the past tense,
"We believe she brutally murdered him and his friends, their bodys were cut into multiple pieces by a kitchen knife and thrown around the apartment. Sad what can happen to kids. She suffers from pretty bad Hallucinations, and she is very violent towards herself and others, she is very intelligent but I've only known of one person that can touch her and come back fine." he said,
"See kids, if you don't behave you'll be just like her" Coach hedge said, he recognized her, he knew what she was talking about.
"So she's insane? Cool, so can she control it? It you let her go will she just muder everyone?" Leo asked.
"It seems that at some times she can control herself, other times she seems like she will muder anyone in her path."

The 6 demigods were on the Argo II about a week until they got there, it was around 10 in the morning. Jason had just gotten up and walked up to the deck to find a girl falling. He rushed forward and caught her, she seemed fine except for the scars on her. She was also asleep, so he did the most logical thing and put her on the dinner table. He sat down just as Annabeth and Piper(Dating each other) and Leo walked in and sat down.
"OMG, Piper, that's the insane girl we met. She attacked David who was actually a monster in the end." Leo said,
"This is Percy, she is the 7th for the quest" Annabeth said. She started taking the straightjacket off of her,
"What are you doing? She's insane" Piper cried while waking Percy up. Percy saw Annabeth and smile,
"Hey Annie, am I still insane?" Percy asked and yawned.
"I'm afraid yes, but we're doing another war so we can talk during it again" Annabeth said.
"Why can't I just have a somewhat decent life?" Percy asked and sat up looking around, "Hi, I don't know you" Percy said to them.
"Your not going to muder us are you?" Leo asked,
"Nah, the gods love to play a game where they make me sane just so I can fight their war. No one wants to try helping me, well after he left" Percy said.
"So you were sane at some point?" Piper asked,
"Yup, a nice guy that I almost killed. He basically just held me down while watching a movie a million times with me, and made sure I don't hurt myself or others, and made me sane for a summer. Then he left, and I couldn't handle it, so like any kid with my childhood I went insane" Percy explained.
"You didn't cry like a normal person?" Jason asked as Percy stretched out, Percy stiffened and avoided eye contact. Annabeth answered for her,
"I've only seen her cry once, and that was when he died. Other times blood pours out of her eyes, which I don't know how you do that?" Annabeth said.
"Lots of Practice" Percy mumbles and ties her hair up into a bun,
"I'm Jason Grace," Jason said to her and held out a hand to her. She looked at it confused, she poked his hand and looked back up to him.
"Hi, I'm Percy Jackson, the only camper at camp half blood to be insane enough to have to go to an Asylum for a few years." Percy replies,
"Hi, I'm Leo you're really cool when you're . . . you know . . . sane" Leo said.
"Thanks," Percy said to him,
"Hello, I'm Piper, Annabeth's girlfriend," Piper said to her.
"Annabeth! You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend. How dare you, I might be insane but I'm not stupid. The doctors said my mind's smarter than a 50 year old," Percy said to her friend mock hurt. Annabeth didn't repose but she did smile, Percy turned back to Piper. "Good luck dealing with Annabeth, I hear she can be a handful". Percy said to her and got a hit on the back of the head by Annabeth.
Percy met the rest of the crew and she enjoyed the rest of that day.

Percy walked out onto the dock in a Camp Jupiter shirt and Jean short, she had her sword in her hand and planned on training.
"Hey Percy?" Jason called and Percy turned to him, "Want to spar?" Jason asked. Percy shrugged and walked over to him, she put her sword at the ready and they started. Every time Jason landed a hit which wasn't offen, Percy wouldn't even flinch; it seemed like she didn't even know he cut her. Percy landed more hits on Jason than he did to her. "So would you like . . . remember us afterwards? Would you still be insane?" Jason asked.
"You can't make a sane person sane Jason, you can make a person insane to sane and sane to insane but you can't take what was already taken." Percy replied to him, "I would remember you but that wouldn't change anything really" Percy says.
"How do you do that?" Jason asks after a second, Percy looks confused "I would cut you and you would flinch, almost like I didn't cut you" Jason explains.
"Oh, um practice?" Percy said almost uncertain, Jason knew she wasn't lying but she was hiding something.
"Percy? Are you hiding something?" Jason asked with a smirk as he walked closer to her. Percy's expression hardened,
"My Past" Percy responded and kept training.

Percy was holding on to Annabeth's hand, if she let go they would both fall into Tartarus.
"Percy let go, I have to go by myself. You'll be even more insane than you already are" Annabeth cried. Percy mumbled a few things to herself,
"Your right Annabeth, I have to go. My insanity might keep me alive, if we both do I could turn against you without knowing." Percy said, she used her strength to throw Annabeth out of the pit. "The doors must be closed, promise me one thing though . . . visit me something after this war is cleaned up" Percy said. Before Annabeth could do anything Percy launched herself into the pit doing a backflip. Into the darkness, Annabeth cried and wanted to jump in the pit and follow her friend but Nico held her back.
She walked back to the group crying, the others looked around for Percy. "Annabeth were Percy?" Frank asked,
"She sacrificed her sanity for us, let's not waste it," Annabeth said to the group.
"Annabeth were's Percy" Jason asked sternly,
"In tartarus" Annabeth said, Jason gasped along with the rest. Annabeth and Nico held him back,
"Move, I'm going after her" Jason said trying to get past them.
"No, her insanity could kill you, she could kill you" Annabeth said to him with tears, "We have to get back and rebuild the camps" she said.
"What, we're not going to pick her up at the doors?" Nico asked alarmed,
"We can't," Annabeth said. "We'll meet her in the Asylum after we finish rebuilding the camps"

A message was sent world wide about Percy, she was the most dangerous person in the world now. So when a woman found her unconscious laying in on the ground, super pale, thin and beat up she called the people that sent the warning. The next day the people came and Percy was still unconscious and her breathing was off. The people quickly rushed her to the Asylum as fast as possible, they were working on her on the way there but not the best. Once they got back they started on her, they tube fed her and treated her cuts. She woke up three days later she was strapped to the table and she fought like a wild animal. She injured a few of the nurses and doctors before they gave her a shot that made her fall asleep. They put her in a straightjacket and strapped her to her bed.
She would scream in her sleep, as she would see tartarus and her past. It was six months before she stopped attacking anyone in the room, after that she went back to the Aerial Silks, and her movie. She was still insane and would attack you if you got to close (a few yards).
It was about a year and a half after she was found again after Tartarus, she was still suffering quite badly. But she was somewhat better, she wouldn't talk but she wouldn't attack random people as offen.
She was doing Aerial Silks like she does every day for two hours when a group of people walked in. She somewhat recognised them, but she just kept doing impossible stunts with the Aerial Silks.
"Percy, some of your friends came to visit you" a Nurse said to her, Percy did a dramatic ending and walked towards them. She stopped 4 yards away, and sat down on the floor. Worried she would attack one of them the nurse put her in a straightjacket, which was pretty hard to do.
They were quiet before Annabeth spoke up, "Percy?" Annabeth said and Percy turned towards her. "Percy are you in there?" Annabeth asked her, Percy was actually feeling pretty sane today. She only attacked one person, and other than that she was fine. So to answer Annabeth's question Percy nodded.
Annabeth smiled, she was glad her friend was somewhat better. She looked at the nurse and Glared at her so she would go away. It took a minute but she left and it was only her and her friends.
Percy smiled, she opened her mouth and it took a second before she could say "want to try Aerial Silks?" Percy asked. She stood up but chose not to go near then and walk towards the silks.
"Are you sane enough to?" Annabeth asked,
"Just don't go near me, or yell" Percy said She took off the straightjacket and she grabbed one of the silks and climbed up it. "How do you think I'm so strong all the time, this is something to help keep me sane. Come on" Percy pleaded. Jason shrugged and climbed up using his powers, and Annabeth followed. Percy was a few yards away, "Now you just play around" Percy said and did some amazing stunts. Annabeth did some very few things and got down while Jason played around more and used his powers.
"You seem pretty sane to me, how did you become insane in the first place?" Jason asked. Percy froze, and she fell from about 20 feet in the air, her friends rushed to their friend but she started attacking. Jason got down and grabbed her hands and put his knee on her legs to keep her from attacking.
She struggled and Jason was thinking about letting go when Annabeth said, "Don't tell her go Jason." and he didn't let go, the doctors and nursed ran in and just watched. After hours of sitting with Percy in his grip, Percy finally calmed down and breathed. Jason thought she was tired out but she was focused on the movie. Percy breathed and watched the movie, 'Benny and Joon' with Jason holding her down. Half way through the second time watching it she snuggled into him, Jason blushed.
For the next month her friends came and helped her become sane. But after she was released for a week, Annabeth told her that she had to talk about her past to all the demigods. She was the hero of the demigods, she was insane but now was sane as long as people don't touch her.
"Ok let's get this over with" Percy sighed, she walked onto the stage and looked at all the demigods. Her long hair was in a ponytail out of the way, you could still see the white from when she was eight.
"Hello, demigods" Percy said, "I was told to tell you all about my past, and why I'm or was insane" Percy said and looked down. After the pause she starts again, "My lifes has only been painful for me. As a child I was never loved, and not like my mother didn't do what I wanted. My Mother hated me, she cursed at me, and left me when I was five. She left me with a god's awful stepfather, who found pleasure in abusing me. He would cut into my skin and bruise me up everyday. I couldn't speak, or cry, or scream, so I learned to cry blood. It showed I was in pain and it was my only way of showing I'm in pain.
He would rape me and he pour stright bleach on my hair when I was eight. I wouldn't eat almost anything, and was a slave to him. Slowly I started cutting myself, I was driven insane. I was 12 when I knew they were planning to kill me, but I somehow beat them to it. I cut them into pieces and left, I stole a computer for a movie that I had left and ran into Luke.
I almost killed him with a kitchen knife, but after that he followed me into the woods. He held me down and played the movie a million times until I fell asleep. He then took me to camp where I learned what loving a person and caring for a person was. Luke made me sane, but he left, and left me worse than before.
Annabeth and Chiron thought it was best to send me to an Asylum since no one wanted or could help me at that point. I was taken back to camp to help with the war, and Like I said to Luke the last time I met him. I might not like the gods, but I dislike the titans even more. I chose the side that has a better result. I helped fight the war, the claws and cuts I got from it was child's play. After that war I was sent back to the asylum and then I helped with the last war." Percy said and breathed, most people were crying, Annabeth and most of her friends were sobbing.
"It's funny" Percy started again capturing everyone's attention, "How something as simple as pain can do this to a person, how easily a little love can heal a person. We all have scars, fates, tattoos with a story, but it matters if the scars means you're willing to live.
I guess my scars means my life slipping out of my fingers, I honestly don't know why you guys want to know my past. It isn't that great, it drove me insane" Percy finishes and was about to walk off when she said. "I really don't want pidy, just forget" she walked off the stage and walked to her cabin.
