Leo knew he should probably be running around screaming in shock, but he couldn't bring himself to care.

But, of course, our story doesn't start here. It starts with the first day back at school, and the first day Percy Jackson returned.

An AU where demigods are revealed, loves are realised, no one is safe and the mist is slowly dying, all told in the form of audio clips and memories.

Chapter 1

Mortals POV

There he is. Percy Freaking Jackson. The most talked about person in the whole school. Percy was... a strange boy, to put it lightly. He would randomly run out of class, screaming "Family Emergency!". Also, his entire body is covered in scars. His face, back, arms and neck. Everywhere. When he left, he left for months at a time. And, sometimes, he will show up late, covered in blood and gold dust. He never tells us where he's been.

My name's Josh, by the way, and I'm Percy's best friend or, I was. His friends from that strange camp of his seem to have replaced me. His camp friends are weird. They talk about monsters and prophecies and they know everything about Greek and Roman mythology. They all seem to be very messed up. They have the look of a veteran solider, which is ridiculous, as they are just kids, they can't fight in wars... right?

TIME SKIP - FIRST DAY

School bully's POV

Percy shows up late to form. He seems to have half his breakfast down his shirt, and he looks like he hasn't slept in weeks. nerd. He is with some other freaky looking kids. Apparently, they are transferring to this school. I bet they got kicked out. They are: Some weirdos who call themselves the 7, Percy included, Nico and will, two gay creeps and Thalia and Reyna, who claim to be dating? whatever. they just haven't met me yet. A girl called Rachel was with them too.

" Class these are our new students" the teacher, Mrs Blackburn says, pushing her glasses further up her nose.

They sit down after introducing themselves and, yep, you guessed it, they are covered in scars too. Especially Nico, Percy and Annabeth (the blonde one)

Strange.

TIME SKIP- lunch

School bully's POV

Percy and the rest of the freaks are lining up to get lunch when a woman walks round the corner. The freaks glare at her and their hand drop to their waists and for some reason, a pen.

"Freaks!" I yell.

"What do you want Matt?" Percy says, voice filled with annoyance.

"Hello Percy Jackson..." the woman says.

" Go away Kelli!" Percy shouted "Last Time I ran into you, you tried to kill me. Now go away and nobody will get hurt!"

Wait... what? Killed?

"Oh Percy" Kelli laughed "I've gotten soooo much stronger. I can quite easily kill you and your little friends"

"Kelli, they are just dumb mor- I mean people who happen to be in the way. This is between me and you. "And with that, Percy darted round the side of the building and disappeared. He appeared again later covered in gold dust and scorch marks.

TIME SKIP- Greek class

Josh's POV

I walk into Greek class with a sigh. Greek class is awful. Who even cares about some old dead dudes who did literally nothing except kill some things? Percy, of course, is brilliant at it. The rest of his friends are as well. They even have favourite gods and goddesses. Nico and Will, got into an argument over which god was the coolest, Apollo or Hades.

Apollo, of course, won. Or at least that's my opinion. The argument ended when Nico said that at least Hades didn't serenade people randomly on the streets. Will just groaned and flushed saying "Oh Gods don't remind me". Apollo isn't real. Why would he say that?

They then spent the rest of the time talking in some language that sounded like Greek but wasn't quite the same.

Percy barely paid attention but still managed to get everything right, of course. But there's something strange about Percy and his friends. Whenever the teacher mentioned Kronos or Gaia, Percy and his friends would start and reach for their hips, like there was a holster there or something.

It was weird as hell. And the strangest thing of all was when the teacher was talking about Tartarus. Nico, Percy and Annabeth started breathing heavily and their eyes widened in fear. It looked like the beginning of a panic attack. Luckily, they were able to calm down when Will muttered something a language I didn't understand. Nico scowled and said "I know I never have to go back Solace, I'm not stupid"

"Love you too death boy" Will had replied, laughing.
