SALLY

She sat on the rocks, her feet dipping into the water, watching the waves. This was her haven, here she could be herself. A quiet book reader and here she could be sad. Her loneliness at the unfairness of life. Her parent's dead from a plane crash. Her stupid uncle who was a jerk, then six months living with him… he had died from cancer. Now she was in foster care for six more years. Some were good and some where terrible. Here on the oceanside she could cry her sorrows and gain strength.

"Are you okay?" a male voice asked.

Startling Sally looked away, hastily wiping her tears and hoping she wasn't snot nosed, and puffy eyed.

"I'm fine," she whispered and once she thought she had the will, turned to see a hot male push himself onto the rocks. His body dripping wet and a scuba tank goggles around his neck and back.

"My name is Sally Jackson," she held out her hand.

Sally felt her heart stutter when the man took her hand, tan against her snow pale skin. Skin that never tanned in the sun.

"Neptune," the man said.

There was something about him that screamed otherworldly, maybe it was the way he had a six pack, the small bows, or the strange words he said to her… but they spent hours talking, getting to know each other.

For three hours they sat chatting, Neptune explaining that he was a national geographic picture taker. He showed her the photos of all the animals he had seen. She gasped and smiled as she saw a dolphin herd and ran her hands over the picture of tiny colourful fish.

….

It was only the summer; it was the summer I fell in love.

Neptune was so kind to me, we met almost every single day at Montauk, his voice was calming and soothing to listen to. He explained in great detail on the animals of the sea. I in return wrote about our little love story. I wrote on how we got to know each other… and our first kiss.

It had been three weeks in knowing Neptune, he was in his usual attire of summer clothes, funky Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts and sandals. His hair was windswept with sand init. We were watching the sunset when he turned to me. His green eyes watching me, and I felt the butterflies in my stomach and smiled, ducking my head hoping my face wasn't going red.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered.

Now I knew my face was bright red. My heart thumped in my chest like a rabbit and I was hot, burning with a need I had never felt before.

"Y-you're handsome," I whisper back.

He's leaning closer to me, watching to see signs of rejection, which there is none. And when his warm tanned hands caress my cheeks, I close my eyes and tilt my head and our lips meet. It's magical, his arms wrapping around me, keeping me warm in the relentless wind, and when Neptune picks me up, I giggle.

"Sally," he moans trailing kisses down my neck making me shiver.

"Nep-"I begin only to be silenced as his hands cup my ass.

"Call me Poseidon," he whispered, and I blink.

Why the sudden name change?

"Poseidon," I whisper finally understanding what's going on….

When I was younger my mother told me "all the stories were true." She had been quite serious when I had asked even gods?

Poseidon held me tight to his chest and then we were in a room. A room with a soft bed and oceanic things all around.

….

After Poseidon and I had sex he had left, leaving me sad but understanding. I read so many books on Greek Mythology and studied the handguide that he had given me. A last parting gift. Nine months later my son was born. His birth brought so much happiness to me, but the life of a demigod wasn't always a good one, full of challenges. Monsters that would kill him because of hi scent. So I made sure to wear plenty of perfume and work in a fast food place, so that I could try to disguise his strong scent. It didn't work…

The first monster that had tried to kill Percy ended up dead, a snake whilst he was in pre- school; it scared me, I knew his scent would attract all types of monsters I thought I had been doing an excellent job at hiding his scent…

Three days later I met Gabe Ugliano, at a local bar. he was a slightly handsome man, he was slightly skinny, and a rough looking beard when I met him, I wouldn't go for him if I had a choice in the matter. But he smelled of beer, cigarettes and sweat. Very unattractive in bed, that once he was done, I had thrown up and cried washing myself and hoping his stench wasn't permanent on me. But strong enough for my son to be safe.

When Percy turned 12 he had went on a quest and had returned with Medusa's head, I grinned as I realized what I wanted to do… after years of abuse and self abuse I wanted revenge… especially that one time if I hadn't saved my baby he would've been broken. Emotionally mentally and physically. Gabe forcing a 11-year-old Percy on the bed and the ugh. The thought of my baby going through that pained me. That should only be done with someone you love, and consent approved.

I put the head in the fridge and the next time Gabe opened it… he would be a statue.

…..

When Percy was 16 ½ he was kidnapped and I was with child with my second baby, it was so stressful, and I worried with everyday that my little grown Hero wasn't here. Paul helped me as much as he could. But I wanted to see my son. Percy who had been missing… hadn't he gone through enough trials?

"It's going to be okay," Paul soothed me, rubbing my feet, that were swollen and aching. It was getting closer and closer to deliver my baby and I was scared.

What if Percy was dead? What if he was in Tartarus? What was going on? Poseidon ignored my prayers, and Annabeth was busy searching for him. I felt so useless.

"I just want my baby home," I whisper.

….

And finally, he comes home, his eyes darker, his body frail yet strong, and his smile is forced….

Gods What happened to my baby?

Crushing him into a hug I cry, and he holds me, explaining what happened and why he was missing.

"I'm done with the demi godly life, I just want to be as normal as we possibly can be." I hear him whisper. "I want to watch my lil sis or brother grow up."

Ruffling his hair, I think about it.

"What if we go to Japan?" I ask. "I would like a nice change of scenery… and remember I lived there for three years with my parents?" I question. "Plus, the old family friends, Mr. and Mrs. Yagami have a son your age."

"Paul already put a down payment on a nice house and it'll be an adventure, the gods owe you some favours, call them in." I smile and in three days thanks to Hermes we are all settled in.

A knock on the door, opening it I see a teen with brown hair, amber eyes dressed in a school uniform.

"Mrs. Blofis?" he asks in English. "I'm Light Yagami. I'm here to pick up your son for school."

THE END!
