Third Person POV:

The door of a room inside a Manhattan apartment building opens up and a boy walks in. The boy has raven black hair, and sea green eyes, he had a cut on his cheek from a shard of glass. Voices were coming from downstairs, they were arguing. The boy went to his bathroom sink and turned on the water.

Perseus' POV:

'I hate Gabe, that fat walrus of a man can go drown in the ocean for all I care!' I thought to myself as I splashed water on my face to help clean out the cut I got when the walrus threw his empty beer bottle on the table, causing it to shatter.

After I had washed my face, I looked in the mirror and saw that my cut, for some reason looked nearly healed. I passed it off as seeing things when I first looked.

"Today was supposed to be my birthday... mom and I were supposed to head up to Montauk for the week... I guess that filthy walrus had other plans" I mutter to myself as I go to my window and look up at the sunset colored sky, and I could see a small sliver of the blood moon that always rose on my birthday

At that moment, my mom opened the door to my room and walked in.

"Percy, grab your suitcase, were heading to Montauk." She said just as Smelly Gabe the Walrus appeared in the door frame

"Sally, I said that you're not going! You need to stay here and cook dinner!" Gabe said as he roughly grabbed my mother's arm and yanked her towards him "You don't need to go to that stupid beach house this year."

"No, Gabe, you can cook your own damn dinner. It's Percy's birthday!" Mom said as she tried to free herself from Gabe's grasp

Gabe tightened his grip on my mother and yanked her back harder causing her to yelp slightly. The small yelp my mother gave infuriated me. I ran from the window toward Gabe and as I past my bed which was supported on a wooden frame, I grabbed a wooden post, that held my footboard up, and ripped it off the bedframe before rushing at Gabe. In the blink of an eye I was in front of the walrus and I swung the post at him. I hit him in the center of his face causing him to let go of my mom to try and hold his face as he growled in agony. However, I swung again towards his stomach and when it hit, Gabe doubled over just as I brought the post back into his face breaking his nose and causing blood to be splattered everywhere.

"It's Filthy Males like you that Piss me off!!! You think you're so High and Mighty and you take woman for granted." I said as I continued to bash Gabe with the post

I glanced at the window and noticed the blood moon had risen. I look back and noticed that Gabe was standing back up and he swung a punch at my face while I was distracted. I closed my eyes and braced for the hit, but it never came, instead I heard the sound of bones breaking and I snapped my eyes open and noticed a bright silver shield in front of me. Gabe pulled his hand back, holding it as he broke his wrist. I took this opportunity and swung the post one last time at the side of Gabe's head, when the post made contact it shattered and pieces of wood rained down everywhere as Gabe crumpled to the floor unconscious.

"Don't touch my mom you filth" I spat before I turned around and noticed my mom staring out of my window

I walked up to her and stood next to her.

"Mom, you ready to go" I ask and she looks at me with a smile on her face

"Yes, let's go, shall we?" she said as if her son didn't beat the seven shades of Hades out of a filthy male

'Seven shades of Hades? Where the hell did that come from?' I think to myself as I grab my stuff as my mom walks out of my room to grab her stuff

When I walk out of my room I close and lock my door from the inside before I kick a groaning walrus back into unconsciousness.

"Filth" I mutter to the unconscious walrus before I walk downstairs

My mom came down a few minutes later with a bit of blood on her shoe, which she wiped on the underside of the couch.

"I left Gabe a message that we will be gone for two weeks and that he better not try to get into your room" She said with a smile "I think he got the message"

I chuckled as we walked out and to the garage. I got into the passenger side of the car and my mom got into the drivers' seat. We drove out of the garage after it opened and we started heading to Montauk. I looked over at the crimson moon and had a sudden question.

"Mom, why does a blood moon rise on my birthday every year?" I asked

"I don't know Percy" She responded and I nodded and looked at the moon not questioning what happened in the apartment.

(Line Break)

A year or so later:

I was on a bus sitting next to my friend Grover, he was currently glancing around as if he were worried.

"What's wrong G-man?" I asked him and he looked at me

"Nothing. Nothing's wrong." He said as a piece of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich hit him on the head

The piece of food was quickly followed by the rest of the sandwich and a bit of laughter from a school bully known as Nancy Bobofit.

"Gods I hate Nancy" I mutter under my breath and Grover looked over at me with a curious expression

"What did you say?" Grover asked

"I said 'God I hate Nancy" why?" I responded and Grover shook his head and muttered something related to food as we pulled up to a museum

Over the next few hours, Nancy and her small group of bullies continued to belt Grover with food or called him names. None of which he responded too, we were walking through a section of the museum that held a bunch of statues with plaques that read something like 'Theseus: traverser of the Labyrinth' or something like that.

"God, I hate Dyslexia..." I muttered to myself as I glanced at Mrs. Dodds who was eyeing me like I was some delicious piece of steak, I shuttered at the thought

"Percy, can you please answer my question?" I heard Mr. Brunner ask and my attention snapped toward him

"Can you please repeat the question?" I asked and I heard a bunch of snickers from my classmates Mr. Brunner rolled into my light of sight and looked at me

"I asked, how is learning about Greek mythology useful in everyday life?" He asked and my brain seemingly sparked to life

"Well, each of the heroes in this room all had to overcome challenges in life and some even died while trying to complete their tasks" I start saying and Mr. Brunner looks at me, his eyes sparkling slightly "so learning about how these heroes lived and died would be a lesson for everyone to learn from since you only have one life" Mr. Brunner nodded and looked around

"Does anyone want to add onto what Mr. Jackson has said?" Mr. Brunner said as he wheeled back to a statue "No? very well, Mr. Jackson can you describe to me how Zeus came to be the king of the gods?" again my mind sparked to life as the information just popped into my head

"Well, Zeus was the youngest of his siblings, his siblings being Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Hades, and Poseidon. However, his siblings were eaten whole by his father, Kronos. Rhea, being the kind and loving mother she was, hid Zeus in a cave after he was conceived. She then brought a rock, wrapped in whatever they used to deliver newborns, to Kronos who, without thinking, devoured the rock." I started and I noticed Grover looking at me with confusion in his eyes, I ignored him and continued "After that, Zeus trained and soon went to the Titan's strong hold and gave him some mustard type concoction and forced Kronos to throw up his siblings and the rock. Then Zeus and co. went to Olympus and got their weapons from some Elder Cyclops and then the Titan war happened and the rest is history" I finished speaking and looked at Mrs. Dodds who was looking slightly shocked but still looked at me like was her next dinner

"Yes, very good Mr. Jackson" Mr. Brunner said slightly in shock "Time for lunch we will continue to tour afterwards" At that everyone rushed outside

I ran after Grover and when we got out lunch we sat at the edge of a fountain. While we were eating, Nancy decided to drop her lunch tray on Grover's lap. I look at Nancy my anger quickly bubbling and threatening to burst.

"I suggest you apologize Nancy" I growled in anger

"Oh, what are you going to do? Tell on me?" She said in a mocking tone of voice before she shoved Grover and that's when I snapped

I felt a tug in my gut and water exploded around me and the next thing I knew I was standing and facing the fountain and Nancy was in it completely drenched. I then felt the presence of Mrs. Dodds behind me and I turned and looked at her.

"Come with me honey" She said with a finger curling in her direction to motion me toward her

I looked at Grover who was staring wide eyed.

"I'll be fine G-man, what's the worst she can do, eh?" I said and followed Mrs. Dodds

After a while we stopped in the Greek mythology section again and Mrs. Dodds faced me.

"Give me the bolt!" She hissed as he features started to change into a leathery type demon thing

I looked down and noticed a bolt used for holding something together on the ground, I picked it up and threw it at her.

"There, happy you old ugly hag?" I barked "Because that's the only bolt I have"

"Lies!!! Give me the bolt or you will die Perseus Jackson!!" She snarled before she grew wings and her fingernails grew into talons

"If I had a bolt then I would know it. Now shut up" I rolled my eyes as I stood calmly in place

"Then you will die!!" Mrs. Dodds suddenly flew towards me and I rolled to the left as Mr. Brunner rolled into the room

"What ho, Percy!" Mr. Brunner said as he threw a spear in my direction

I jumped up and dived to catch the spear. When my hand clasped around the shaft of the spear I felt as if I knew what I needed to do and I smirked. I got to my feet and noticed Mrs. Dodds looking at the spear with a look of fear in her eyes, but never the less she charged.

"Guess what I'm hungry for" I say as I skewer Mrs. Dodds "I'm hungry for shish kebabs" the look on the monster's face was priceless as I lifted her using the spear to holder away from me

I then turned around and continued to swing the spear until Mrs. Dodds' head hit the ground and she burst into a golden dust. I looked at the spear and noticed it was a can of mace.

"Interesting..." I muttered to myself as I walked out of the museum again

When I got out I noticed Mr. Brunner reading a book underneath an umbrella. I walked over to him and cleared my throat.

"Excuse me, Mr. Brunner, I believe this is yours?" I say and hold out the can of mace which Mr. Brunner takes

"Thank you, but I must implore you not to steal anything from anyone Perseus." Mr. Brunner said before he turned back to his book

"I'm assuming that includes bolts eh?" I say dryly and Mr. Brunner looks up at me

"What was that?" He asks

"Oh nothing, just thinking to myself aloud" I say and walk away

Soon the tour starts up again but for some reason no one remembers Mrs. Dodds. I shrug as I notice another math teacher and I sigh. I was really hoping to skip math for the rest of the year.

(Line Break/Time Skip to when Percy and Grover are heading to Camp because, I really don't feel like writing the entire book... so just add what Is in the book into this section right here and you'll be good)

My mom was driving Grover and I to this supposed safe place when I heard a roar that sounded vaguely familiar. Then all of a sudden, the car was flipped and the VERY first thought that ran through my mind was 'Well... if this was a rollercoaster this would be fun'. I was brought back to my senses when the car landed and I looked around and noticed my mother trying to get out and Grover knocked out. I sighed and unbuckled and tried to get Grover awake. I tried shaking him but nothing worked.

"Drastic times call for Drastic measures" I say as I take a deep breath "Grover the president banned all enchiladas!!"

Grover's eyes shot open so fast and he looked around before unbuckling and I chuckled to myself as I got out of the car to see a giant mass of ugly standing nearby looking at the totaled car. My mom was getting out and I looked at her and she started running in a direction with Grover hot on her heels. I followed and I heard another roar which again sounded really familiar. I shook my head and kept running, soon we reached a tree that was on top of a hill. Grover and I ran past the Tree but my mom stayed just beyond it.

"Mom! Come on!!" I shouted as I ran back

"I can't go past the property line Percy! Go, get to safety!" She shouted as a massive black hand shot out and wrapped around her neck

I stood there and watched as she was turned into a gold light and disappeared. That's when I rushed forward and slammed straight into the figure, causing it to fly back a couple yards. Grover who had run past, ran back up to the tree.

"Percy! Come on!!" He yelled but I tuned him out as the figure in front of me huffed

I smirked and I noticed a silvery light surround me slightly.

"Ready for round two beef head?" I snarl and the minotaur looks taken back before charging

I meet his charge and right before we meet in the middle I jump at the last second and wrap my legs around the monster's thick neck.

"This is for my mother!!!" I said as I ripped a horn off of his head "Because right now, I think a little ground beef" I twist my body so the minotaur's head pitches forward and the monster hits the ground with a loud thud "Is good for everyone" I finish as I bring the horn that I ripped off straight down onto the Minotaur's head causing it to burst into a fine gold dust

I stood up and turned around and looked at Grover and as I took a step forward I fell face forward as the silvery light I was emitting disappeared. When I hit the ground I blacked out but for a few moments after I heard Grover running over to me. Then I slipped into the realm of sleep.

(Line Break)

When I woke up I noticed my vision being blocked by a wall of blonde and I squinted as I tried to raise my hand to block the light. The wall of blonde moved away at my motion and almost immediately my mouth was filled with what tasted like gooey brownies. I smiled for a moment and I closed my eyes again before I remembered what happened right before I passed out and my eyes snapped open and I bolted up. Instantly regretting that decision, I held my head as I tried to make the nausea go away.

"You drool in your sleep, you know that right?" I heard a voice say and I rolled my eyes as my vision cleared

"I'm so happy you care for my safety and wellbeing" I say sarcastically

"Well someone has to point it out!!" the voice said again and I focused on where it was coming from

Soon my vision was back to normal and I saw a girl with blonde princess curls looking at me.

"Where's Grover? Where's my mom!?" I say quickly and the girl looks down and shuffles slightly

"I think you should talk to Chiron... I'll take you to him" She says as she walks over and helps me out of the bed I was sitting in

"Wait, Chiron? As in the Chiron who trained the heroes of Greek mythology? That Chiron?" I asked incredulously

"Yes, that Chiron" she said and I stopped and looked at her

"So, your telling me. That a centaur, one that should long be dead by now, is here?" I ask with a confused voice

"Yes! Now come on!!" She said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the door

I noticed however, that when she grabbed my hand her cheeks tinged a slight pink and I chuckled a little. Soon the girl pulled me outside and I saw Mr. Brunner sitting in his wheelchair playing a game of pinochle with a man with a potbelly and Grover. I also noticed a girl playing with a yo-yo while relaxing in a hammock. The blonde-haired girl pulled me up to Mr. Brunner.

"Chiron, he's awake and I brought him to you" She said and I looked at Mr. Brunner

"Thank you, Annabeth, you can go now" He says and Annabeth frowns before walking over to the steps and sitting down on them

"Percy, are you alright?" Grover asks and the potbellied man glares at him

"Yes Grover I'm fine is my mom alright?" I ask and Grover looks down and Mr. Brunner turns and looks at me

"I am sorry Percy but your mother did not make it..." He said and at this point the girl with the yo-yo was sitting up and looking intently at me

"Wait, your name is Percy?" the girl asks skeptically as she stands up and walks around me as if inspecting me

"Yes, is that an issue?" I say with narrowed eyes

"Oh, no its not, I was just curious." She said with a smile before walking back to the hammock and laying down and started playing with her yo-yo again

"Sorry about that Percy" Mr. Brunner said and I shrugged "Percy, do you know who I am?" He phrased the question so that I had a feeling I should know who he was

I looked at Annabeth and I remembered that she called Mr. Brunner Chiron.

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say that your Chiron. Correct?" I say and he nods

"That is correct Percy, and your Friend Grover is a Satyr" Chiron says and I notice him watching my reaction

I don't seem surprised and I just shrug.

"Cool. And I'm guessing that since Chiron in the stories was a centaur, that wheelchair must be magic and compact your form." I reason and Chiron looks slightly shocked "That would also explain how the spear you threw me when fighting my math teacher turned into a can of mace" I finish and I notice Mr. Potbelly looking at me with curious purple eyes

"Do you know who I am?" Mr. Potbelly asked with a tone of interest which caused Annabeth to look over and stare at him slightly shocked

I look straight into his purple eyes and I feel some sort of power coming from him. My mind feels like its thrown into overtime as I run through possible names that I could give this guy. Suddenly a name pops into my head and I figure it's better to answer than not to answer at all.

"I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that your Dionysus, God of Wine and Theater" I say with a slight uncertainness in my voice and the good leans back with a smile on his face

"Very good, I'm impressed. Most campers can't even get close to that." Dionysus says with a small smile "Your name is Perseus, right?" I nod "I'll make sure to remember that"

I see Chiron look at Dionysus confused and Grover looks about ready to faint. But before I can say anything Chiron shakes his head and turns to look at me.

"Anyway, Percy, Grover said that you took on the Minotaur three days ago... he also said that you taunted the Minotaur by saying 'Ready for round two Beef Head?' Mr. Underwood also stated that you had a slight sliver aura around you. Can you explain to us what that is?" Chiron asked

"Um... what? Yes, I know I fought the minotaur, but why would I say, 'Ready for round two beef head?' and a silver aura? What does that mean?" I say truthfully and Dionysus chuckles

"I believe he is telling the Truth. He is what? Eleven? Mr. Underwood must have been seeing things. Also, Chiron, from what you told me he was really good with that Spear you tossed him. Why don't you give it to him for future use?" Dionysus said which caused Annabeth to look at the god with wide eyes

"Uh... sure" Chiron said as he pulled out the can of mace and handed it to me

I take the can and I suddenly feel a connection to it and I smile slightly

"Thank you, Chiron," I say before I turn to Dionysus "And thank you Lord Dionysus" I say with a small bow

The god smiles again before turning to look at the yo-yo girl "Shane, can you show Perseus here around the camp? Along with Annabel of course since I believe she won't leave the young demigod alone."

Shane jumps off of the hammock, bows slightly, then walks over to me as Annabeth stands up.

"Before you go Perseus, that can of mace will always return to you. So, don't worry about losing it. I expect great things from you" Dionysus said before he turned back to his game

"Thank you again lord Dionysus" I say with a slight bow before Shane and Annabeth gesture me to follow them

As I walk off of the porch I notice that the building I was at was a bight shade of baby blue and I cringed slightly. After that I just followed Shane and Annabeth through the camp which turned out to be a place where demigods trained. I just shrugged and nodded whenever they expected me to be shocked or whenever they asked me if I was following along. After a while Shane and Annabeth turned and looked at me.

"You're taking this really well..." Annabeth said and again I shrugged

"I guess I've just learned to go with the flow. No use in trying to disbelieve what I see" I say simply and Annabeth's cheeks tinge pink again

Shane opens her mouth to say something when a girl wearing a red shirt walks over and grabs the back of my shirt and drags me away.

"Hey Clarisse! What do you think you're doing??!" Annabeth yells

"To give this punk the initiation what else?" Clarisse states as she drags me towards the bathrooms

When we get to the bathrooms, Clarisse drags me into the girl's stalls and puts my head over a toilet. Soon I feel my head being pushed toward the water and I feel a tug in my gut as I resist the motion. Suddenly, the entire bathroom explodes and water rushes everywhere. It knocks Clarisse down and I step out of the stall I was in and notice that I'm completely dry. I look around and I notice that Annabeth and Shane were in there both staring at me with wide eyes.

"I think I know who his parent is" Shane says and Annabeth nods in agreement

"You HAVE to join my team for Capture the flag... I know the Hermes cabin will accept you until your claimed. So, either way, you're going to be on my team. With you there is no way we can lose!" Annabeth exclaims and I roll my eyes

"Don't count your arrows until the hunt is over" I mutter just loud enough for Shane and Annabeth to hear

Annabeth looks at me confused while Shane's eyes widen slightly before she shakes her head.

"Anyway, let's go and finish the tour before more people try and mess with you" Shane says and I nod

'This has been a weird year...' I think to myself as I put my hand in my pocket and pull out the can of mace and look at it before putting it back into my pocket 'Well, I guess it can't get any weirder"
