Now, I'm gonna be honest, this is probably gonna be really short and stupid. Sorry -.-

Percy POV. ~5 Years ago~

I ran, I ran, and I continued running. I was going to propose to her, then she went and did something like that. Was I not good enough, did I cause this? I don't care, I will go on with out her.

I ran straight out of camp with tears in my eyes, and many weird glances thrown at me. I was thinking of a where to go. Home was the first thing that i thought about, so I ran to my house. On the way there, I smelt smoke and looked towards it. It was near my destination so I went to check it. However it wasn't just near my destination, it was my destination. It was in shambles, the whole place fell down. I went towards the nearest Fireman and started asking him, "What happened?"

"Well kid, I am sorry to say that this whole building is coming down, the boiler blew up."

"How many did you get out"I asked, in hopes my family made it.

"I'm sorry kid, it was gone since it blew up. We couldn't save anything." He said with a solemn look

That was the breaking point for me, I just couldn't hold it anymore. I ran. That was it, I didn't know where to, but I just ran. The only thing on my mind in that moment was running as far as I can. However, you can never run from your problems. They will find you, and burn you (Refrences anyone?). Every time I stopped, I heard the screams of my family. My mother and Paul, they would always scream my name, they would ask me why I didn't save them. They would scream louder and louder, so I ran farther and farther. I ran until I fell, I could't move at all then, it was then that I noticed the sun was rising. I ran the entire night, I didn't even know where I was. So I just layed there and cried, I cried for the rest of the day in that same spot. When I stopped crying, I rose from the ground and walked in a random direction. I walked until I made it into a clearing, I decided to take my life there. There was nothing to go back to anymore. So I looked for a cliff, since I didn't have any rope to make a knose. I found one just a mile away in a random direction. However, I saw a little girl, couldn't be more than 10, I saw her about to jump. On pure instinct, I ran up to her and grabbed her before she could.I held her close to me even though she was thrashing about. I held her close as I backed away from the cliff.

"LET GO! LET GO OF ME! I NEED TO DO THIS!" She screamed at me as i dragged her away. I pulled her back to the clearing, which was quite hard. However we got there and I layed her down on the grass. She was tired from thrashing about so much and couldn't move. However she cried, 'just like me' I thought to myself.

"Why were you going to do that?" I asked her in the most gentlest voice I could muster.

"Why should I tell you" She spoke in sobs

"Because I can help. I was going to do the exact same thing to." I spoke to her again

"Why?" She asked, as she turned to look at me

"I will tell you, if you tell me." She nodded in agreement, so I told her about Annabeth and the fire, leaving out the stuff about Camp Half-blood.

"You?"

"I was born in a family that didn't care about me, my father was abusive, and so were my brother. However, my mother was a saint, she would always help my when I needed it. My father didn't like that though, so he took his sons and killed her a while back. After that I ran away from home. I was going to run to my grandparents who lived in New Jersey. But that is when weird stuff happened, I ended up being chased by this huge black dog. It was as big as a car, so I ran away from it. It must have lost interest so it left, but ever since then I have seen so many other things. I finally arrived at my grandparents place, but they were killed there, there was a note there and it said that I caused it. That I was the reason they were dead. So I ran, I ran away from there. And that is why I am here."She looked away from me, "I guess you think I am crazy

"No," I smiled at her as she turned around. "In fact, I believe you. Do you know anything about the Greek gods and goddesses?" She nodded, "Well, they are no Myth, they are real. You and I are demigods, we both had god parents. Mine was Poseidon, and by the looks of it, your mother was Aphrodite," I thought that was her mother anyway, her eyes were always changing colors. Then I went on to explain the whole ordeal.

Surprisingly she just accepted it. "Do you want to fight those monsters?" She nodded at me "Then I think that we should go to a friend of mine, she is a goddess to, Artemis. She has a group of girls like you, who have had problems with guys as well, they will help you. Will you go?" She thought about it for a second and nodded her head. "Good, we will head out."

Surprisingly, it didn't take long, the camp was really close. So I stopped her about 50 yards before the camp and knelled down to her. "Don't tell anyone at the hunt about me, tell them you found it on your own."

"But why?" she inquired

"Because I do not need people looking for me. Please promise me that." I almost begged her. She agreed and turned and began to walk to the hunt. Then I realized something, I called out to her. "Hey, what is your name any way?" She turned and smiled at me, "Veronica"

With that, she turned and left. I knew what to do then. I picked myself out of depression and sped off. I decided there that I would find all rouge demigods, and help them find there way to a camp. I would not let them fend for themselves, where they could die. I wouldn't let them end up like me. I knew then that it was what I must do. From then on I helped and strengthened myself, knowing that I would need to face them one day. Whether for good or evil.

Sorry if this one was a bit horrible, I am still getting used to this. If you have any suggestions of what to do, please tell me and I would be most thankfull.
