She took off running, not knowing were her feet would take her. The only thing she followed were her dreams which were starting to get really realistic after she discovered her inheritance.
She discovered the moon pin transformed into a bow that formed its own arrows and the treble chef pin changed into a harp about a month after she ran away.
About three months later, she ran into a group of three half-bloods who were very rude to her or at least the two females were. They told her to go away when she offered them food. She advised them that they should head to Long Island as that held a camp of people like them. She knew she wouldn't fit in being the daughter of Poseidon as her father had broken the pact and her Roman ancestry. The male apologised for his companions, to which she replied that he wasn't bad for a son of Hermes and his fate rests with him, no else could see hid exact path. She ran off before he could reply.
Three years later, she had started visiting hospitals to give courage to those who were in need of hope. The nurses knew her story, or most of it. They knew she was in search of her father's family and her mother had married an awful man to keep the food on the table until she could handle it anymore and left so her mother could live her own life. They always had prepared one meal for the ten year old so they could make sure she had eaten at least once a day.
A new doctor was flirting with the nurse on desk when Percy walked in. His eyes narrowed in on her hairpins and her eyes.
"Hi, Vanessa," She greeted the nurse, walking to the counter, "How's the children?"
The nurse smiled fondly at the daughter of the sea, "Excited for your visit as always. Then you eat, honey."
"She's the miracle worker I've been hearing about?" The doctor asked curiously.
Vanessa giggled as Percy replied, "Not a Miracle-worker, the nurses and doctors are. I just give hope and kept those who panic calm."
"Why don't you go with her, Fred?" Vanessa suggested, "And make sure she eats,"
Percy rolled her eyes, "Come on, Doctor Fred, might as do as she says or she might decide to commit us." She dragged him down the hall.
About half-way to the children's section, she stops and bows to her companion, "Lord Apollo," She whispered respectfully.
Apollo smiled at the young demi-goddess who he suspected was his great-granddaughter, "Rise, little hero," He replied, "Those pins, the sun, the moon and the treble chef, tell me how you received them?"
"They were my grandmother's, my lord," She answered politely; "She was a Roman Demi-goddess who died in a plane accident when my mother was five."
Apollo clicked his fingers and a hologram of the sun appeared over her head, "I guess you hadn't gone to either camp as you're Roman and Greek, Granddaughter."
"Not exactly, my father poses a problem," she admitted as she made a water ball from the nearby drinking fountain. "If my father claims me, Havoc would reign after what happen last time with the Thalia."
Apollo's eyes widened as he watched his legacy play with the sphere of water. He knew with Poseidon breaking the oath and if Hades found out, his Granddaughter would be the one to pay. "How did you know Thalia's fate?"
"I inherited the gift of premonition, my dreams and I met her shortly after I ran away." She whispered, "Luke, the son of Hermes, his mother tried to become the oracle and believes that he saw his exact path in life. I hope I encouraged him to find his own path but he walks a fine line"
He hugged her, knowing what a burden seeing the possibilities of the future was. "I'm sorry that you received that gift." He ruffled her hair playfully, "I think you kept your audience waiting long enough."
They both raced down the hallway, knowing their conversation wasn't finished.
The children cheered as they saw Percy walk into the room.
The treble clef pin changes instrument if you wish it to Apollo spoke into Percy's mind.
She smiled at the children who were jumping up and down in excitement. "You know the rules fives songs before Vanessa's watcher forces me to eat the three more songs then Doctor Fred sings." She reminded them. It's traditional that the person who Vanessa sets to make sure I eat or she admits me into the hospital sings. She mentally explained.
The children cheered and sung along as she performed. She chatted to all the children at lunchtime so much that Apollo had to remind her to eat which all the children copied. Percy pouted making the children laugh. Apollo shook his head in amusement, knowing if she ever had children, she would be a great parent. She was exactly like Georgia, her grandmother. Like his daughter, he couldn't suggest she join his twin's hunters.
Apollo stood up at the end of her last song, "I hope you have one last song left because I'm not singing if you don't,"
"Of course, I do," she nodded. "Do you know Fear Not This Night?"
Apollo grinned, "And you say you're not a miracle worker."
She rolled her eyes as she sat at the piano.

They finished playing and bowed to their audience of clapping children. The dark shadow in their eyes was replaced with the light of hope. Percy smiled seeing her job was done, "I have recorded the song for all of you on the cd which I'll hand to Vanessa before I leave. If you want a copy ask her, okay?" She suggested, knowing that she won't see them again. She had a son of Hermes to save from Ladon.
