Hey guys, I am back with Chapter 2! I really wanted to try an OC pairing sometime in this series so leave me some suggestions! I'll leave most of the canon pairings intact, so I'll try to see what I can do. Enjoy the chapter!

I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

When my mom got back from work, I had just woken up from a nap, so I was a bit disoriented. I stumbled downstairs when my mom called me for dinner. She had gotten a pizza delivered and we sat down to eat. She asked me how my day went and I hesitated to tell her what happened, because I still wasn't sure if what I saw actually happened.

"It was an interesting day for sure, Mom" I told her. I wasn't sure how to tell her that I got chased by a giant dog monster and that I turned into an ice sculpture with my hand. "What made it so interesting, honey?" she asked.

This was it. Now was the time to tell her! Just do it! "Uh… I got chased by a giant dog and then I froze it?" I said really quickly.

"That's nic- wait, what?!" she shouted. "What do you mean you froze a giant dog?!" she demanded with an intense look. "Well I was walking home from school, and then I turned around and saw it looking at me. I tried to make it go away, but it started chasing me. I got cornered in an alley and some voice in my head told me to use my gift or something like that. So I raised my hand, and next thing I know, the dog is frozen!" I explained.

"Are you hurt? Why didn't you call me right after it happened?" my mom asked with a look of worry. I felt guilty at making my mom worry about me.

"I wasn't sure if you would believe me" I said while looking down in shame. My mom came over me and pulled me close to her.

"Oh honey, of course I would believe you. I know you wouldn't make up something this...unique" she said trying to find the right words.

"Is there anything else that you need to tell me?" she asked while sitting back down. "Well I got this letter to come to this camp. Camp Half-Blood I think it was called?" I said.

Mom looked shocked for a second then sighed. "I knew this day would come eventually. Just hoped it wouldn't be this soon" she muttered.

"What do you mean you knew this would happen? What's Camp Half-Blood Mom?" I asked.

"It's a camp where demigods go to train to fight monsters. It's also the only place where they can be protected by said monsters" she explained.

"Aren't demigods half god though? Wait...I'm half god?!" I asked in utter shock. I was half god? My father was a god? Is this where these powers came from? The questions raged in my mom.

"Yes Levi, you are half god, on your father's side. He told me right after I found out I was having a baby. He said he couldn't be here to raise you since he's always busy. But he has come from time to time to see you when you were still a baby" she explained.

So my dad got my mom pregnant and just left? I know he's a god, but still! Raising a baby by yourself is not an easy job. Mom must have seen the look on my face because she put a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't blame your father for anything, honey. Even though he hasn't been here for most of your life, he really does care about you. I also have a place in my heart for him, even though I know we can never be together" That got me to calm down a bit and let out a huge sigh.

"So what happens now? Do I have to go to this camp?" I asked. Mom looked to be in thought for a few moments and shrugged. "I guess it's the only option we have. You'll be protected from most of the monsters that come up to the mortal world. I have some money saved up, so it shouldn't be that hard to find an apartment or something that's close by. I can get us a place in a about three days. I have a friend who does real estate in Manhattan"

After that discussion with Mom, I went to school the next day to tell Zeke what was happening. "So your mom got a new job in Manhattan so you guys are moving?" Zeke asked. I nodded as I put my books in my bag. "Yeah she said we had to move in a couple days since she has to start right when we get there" I told him. It wasn't a complete lie, since when we did get there, Mom would have to find a new job, but she wouldn't have to work right away.

"Wow that's a good thing for your Mom. It's pretty sad that you have to leave though. I'm gonna miss you bro" I replied with the same statement and we parted ways to go home.

The next couple days went by fast as we had the moving trucks take our things and my Mom and I got into our tiny sedan. We drove to the airport where Mom received payment for the car as soon as we got all our stuff out. Even in this situation, Mom found a way to get some extra cash as we were moving to a new place.

The flight only took about an hour and soon enough we were in New York. The streets were bustling with people and vehicles trying to get to their destinations. Living in a small town didn't really prepare me for the big city, but Mom seemed to know where to go.

We got in a taxi and it took us about half and hour before we arrived at our new apartment. The landlady seemed nice enough. Her name was Claire and she had blonde hair that was beginning to turn gray at the roots. She a thin sweater over her equally thin frame and black square glasses. She gave Mom the key and showed us to our room.

I opened the door and saw a decent sized kitchen and dining area with a bathroom down the hall with a window that gave us a view of the cars on the streets. The paint on the walls was peeling a little bit, but all in all, it was a cozy place. Perfect for a single mother and her demigod son to live in.

"When are we going to the camp?" I asked my mom. "Once I can get us a ride out there, we should be all set. The letter you gave me didn't have a number to call, so they don't know that you're coming" she explained.

A few days had passed and one of mom's friends offered to drop me off at the camp. I placed all my bags into the trunk and we drove off towards Long Island. We passed strawberry fields and I got to see the ocean that was glistening in the sun. Maybe staying at this camp wouldn't be all that bad.

My mom told her friend that I had a camping trip here in the forest since all we could see was a lot of trees and no real campsite.

I took my bags up the hill and looked down. I could see about twelve cabins in a U shape that all looked different. One had smoke coming up from the chimney, one looked solid gold, while another one was completely silver, another one had vines growing out of it, and other cabins seemed to share this pattern of being incredibly unique.

I walked through the marble arch at the top of the hill, but my mom couldn't seem to pass through. "I'm guessing mortals aren't allowed to enter camp. But that's fine, I can see you off over here" I felt sad that my mother was actually going to be living far away from me. I felt my eyes start to sting, but I pushed it back. "Send me a letter if you need anything, alright? Hope you have a good time. Stay safe, love you" my mom said as she kissed me on the cheek and went back down the hill. I hadn't said a word during the exchange, so I surged forward toward Mom.

I hugged her from behind, which startled her a bit. I pressed my face into her back as I held back my tears. "I'll miss you Mom. I hope we can see each other soon. I love you"

She chuckled and turned around so we were facing each other. She wrapped her arms around me and put her face in my hair. "Oh Levi, I'm going to miss you too. But I know that you're safer here than with me. Learn some things here and we can see each other real soon, okay?"

I nodded with my face still on her chest and laughed. "Yeah Mom, I'll learn as much I can. So that I can protect us both" She turned my laugh and messed up my hair. "Look at you being such a manly guy. Don't grow up too much the next time I see you, okay?"

With that, I walked back up the hill, took a deep breath, and walked down into the camp. I figured that the biggest building was where the camp directors were, so I made my way there. Groups of kids my age were doing various activities like volleyball, basketball, archery. I even some kids climbing up a rock wall with what looked like real lava running down it.

I knocked on the front door to the big building. I heard a quiet reply to enter and so I opened the door and made my way to the sound of the voices. I was met with a man in a wheelchair accompanied with another man who wore a leopard print Hawaiian shirt and who looked like he spent the last few years drinking nonstop since his eyes were so bloodshot.

"Hello there young man, who might you be?" the man in the wheelchair asked politely. The other man seemed disinterested and went back to playing the card game that they had set on the table.

"I'm Levi Robinson, sir. I got a letter several days ago to come to this camp. I'm aware that I am a demigod, but I don't know who my father might be" I explained.

"No need to be so formal young man, but it is appreciated. I am Chiron, activities director here at Camp Half-Blood, and this here is Mr.D, our - ah, supervisor" Chiron explained.

I gave a half-hearted greeting to Mr.D, who still seemed to be annoyed by everything happening. "You said that you don't know who your godly parent is, correct? It seems that you'll have to stay in the Hermes cabin for the time being" Chiron said, wheeling himself outside.

If I knew my mythology correctly, Chiron was the trainer of pretty much all the famous heroes in the past. Hercules, Jason, and Achilles, to name a few. I also remembered the fact that he was a centaur, because he suddenly changed from being in a wheelchair, to easily towering over me, with his bottom half being a white stallion.

"Follow me Levi, I'll show you to the Hermes cabin" Chiron told me. I quickly grabbed the two bags that I had and followed him. We walked toward the cabin that looked to be falling apart. The paint was peeling off the walls, and it seemed to creek with the breeze.

Chiron knocked on the door, and a blonde boy with a scar running down the right side of his face. He looked surprised when he saw Chiron, but it disappeared when he saw me.

"Hello Chiron, new camper I see? A regular or unclaimed?"he asked the centaur.

"I'm afraid he's still unclaimed Luke" Chiron told him. Luke looked at me and gave me a smile. "Hey there, I'm Luke Castellan, son of Hermes. I'm the head counselor for Hermes cabin" he said, shaking my hand. He pulled his hand back quickly because it was pretty cold.

I felt my face flush and I looked down. "Um.. sorry about that. My hands get cold when I'm nervous" Seriously? Whose hands get cold when they get nervous? This was embarrassing.

"Don't sweat it man, I understand. Let me show you the inside of our lovely cabin" Luke led me through the door and cramped was an understatement when describing the inside of the cabin. Stuff was piled on the floor, clothes, shoes, sleeping bags, you name it.

"Sorry if it's crowded. With Hermes being the god of travelers, we take all the unclaimed demigods as well as the children of Hermes" Luke explained. He told me to pick a spot on the floor and be careful to watch my belongings since Hermes was also the god of thieves.

I didn't have a lot of stuff aside from clothes, so I felt somewhat safe. The only thing I was scared about was if someone took the ring from my backpack. It was a ring my father gave to my mom when they started dating. He couldn't marry her, but the he promised the ring would be a reminder that he was always watching over her, and in extension, me.

I decided that it would be better to have on me than to just leave it on the ground in my bag, so I took the ring from my bag and put it on my left hand. I'm not really one to wear jewelry, but I thought this was a good exception.

"Please Dad, if you're out there, please give me a sign" I silently prayed. Luke introduced me to some of his siblings which included Travis and Connor Stoll, who looked like they would steal from you, give it back, and then steal it again just cause they could. I guess the name fit.

Luke showed me around the camp after that. I saw the other cabins and who they represented, I saw the dining area, the lake, the strawberry field, and the archery range. He also warned me not to wander into the forests since they kept monsters there for training.

A few hours had passed after the tour and I was just sitting in the Hermes cabin, trying to secretly practice my powers. I was finally able to freeze my hand a little when I heard a commotion outside. I opened the door with some other cabin mates and saw a boy with black hair carrying a satyr, over his shoulder. He looked to be injured since he was limping and he fell in front of Chiron and Annabeth, one of the Athena campers, who promptly took him and the satyr and to the infirmary.

"Well you don't see that everyday" Travis said. I knew it was Travis since he was slightly taller than his brother Connor.
