It's been one week since the lake incidence and it still hurts. I loved her and she betrayed me. I get out to my bed and head to the big house. I knock on the door and wait for someone to come. I hear movement inside and the door opens to Chiron in his centaur form. He smiles softly at me as he let's me in but I don't return it.

"Percy my dear boy what can I do for you?"

"I want to leave. I want to go home." He doesn't respond for a while and I start to think he's going to say no. "Alright."

"W-what?"

"I said alright. You need to get away from camp for a while anyways. The campers have become cruel to you and I feel you need to get away form this." I stand shocked at his words but start to walk to him. I wrap my arms around him and hug him tightly and he hugs back to the best of his ability.

We let go after a few seconds and he continues to talk. "When will you be leave?"

"Tonight after dinner and as everyone's still eating." He nods his head at the plan and motions for me to take a seat in a chair.

"Let's talk." We talk until it's time for dinner and I we leave to eat.

I finish my food barely even touching it and rush to my cabin to find that HE had taken my absence as a chance to destroy my side of the room. I sigh and shake my head at how childish it was. Crouching down to the floor I pull up the lose floorboards and tack out my important stuff. In it there's some pictures clothes and some stuff from my mom.

I pick up a picture of me and Annabeth standing in front of the lack. I feel a pull at my heart and crumble it up. I place everything in my bag carefully and pull it over my shoulder. I turn and look at the room one last time and head to the entrance of camp.

I reach the bottom with no problem. Put my fingers to my lips and let out a loud whistle. After a few minutes I hear the soft falps of wings behind me and turn around to see Black jack land on the ground. "Hey boss got any donuts?"

I laugh lightly and shake my head. "Not right now but I will later. I need you to drop me off at moms. Can you do that for me?"

He nods his head and motions for me to get on. I thank him and hop on. He he waits for me to get adjusted before taking off into the sky.

As we fly above the city I take in a breath. It was hard to smell anything like a tree or fresh ocean water but it was the city and I wouldn't have it any other way. The lights in the midnight sky look amazing and almost like jewels with sun light reflecting on them.

Blackjack lands on the ground in an alley next to my moms apartment building. Hope off and stroke his mane. "Thanks again for the ride."

"Any time boss, see you later." I turn around and head it the building. The elevator ride was uncomfortable and made me extremely anxious but felt better when the boors opened and I could get off.

I knocked on the door of my mom's apartment and waited for her to open it. The door opened and mom came into view. "Hello how can I... oh Percy. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at camp?"

I flinch at the mentioning of camp and sigh softly. "Look mom I kind of left camp because I wanted to see you." I wasn't a full lie I just didn't tell her why I left.

She sighs softly and steps out of the door way, closing the door behind her. "Percy I'm sorry but..you...can't." I stand in a shock silence letting the answer sink in.

"Don't get me wrong, Percy I love you but it's for your Olivias safety. Werever you go danger follows and I don't want to put her in danger. I now this is horrible of me to-" I hold up my hand for here to stop. I reach out to her and her eyes start to tear up.

" It's okay mom I understand. You want her to have a calm normal life and for that I can't be in it so I'll leave. But I have one last thing I need you to do for me." She let's go a looks a little confused before nodding.

"There's a small red box in my top dresser can you give that to her when she's older? It's a sea shell shaped locket with a picture of Paul, you when you were expecting her, and me on the left. Put whatever you want on the right. Goodbye mom, I love you." She places a kiss on my forehead and whispers a soft goodbye. She walks back into the house. I stare at the door for a few seconds before waking back to the elevater.

As I walk back out of the building I considered calling Blackjack but decided against it. I already knew were I what to go so I sign down a taxi. I hop in a place my bag on the ground. "Where to."

I look up and meet his eyes." The Empire State."
