Hey guys! Welcome to the sequel of the hopefully popular Music Will Save You! So I wasn't sure about this at first but a lot of you really seemed to want it and after typing the first chapter all these great ideas came to me! So you're in luck because this can actually be a good story! :)

So as a lot of you know this will many focus on Percabeth's daughter Kayden. Though you'll still read cute little Percabeth moments because how could I not include that?

Also because I love the old orphans so much they will be reappearing in this story so we'll see old friends!

Just PM me if you have questions but the first three or four chapters can explain everything. Keep in mind this chapter isn't m best work but u promise it'll get it better.

Happy reading!

Kayden:

Sure some kids think it's cool to have their parents as teachers; easy A! But does anybody ever tell what it's like when your parents are a town legend?

The Siren's Shadow stopped playing shows when my Mom got pregnant with me shortly after marrying my Dad. But they still have a popular website, and I couldn't even count how many kids I've caught with my Mom's voice coming out of their headphones. Basically everyone knows who my parents are. It's a small town….not a lot happens. Same with Sarah; though they know about my Mom's past.

My Mom released a song called "Thursday" a year before they stopped playing. It's about her parents; basically saying that even though she's sad they couldn't see her play she'll keep playing shows in their memory. I guess I ruined that that promise.

Of course I never met them but I've seen old home movies of them. I know my Mom gets her looks for her Mother and her talent from her Dad. I know how much pain she went through when they passed away and how hard she worked to make sure the old orphans of Crestwood would have a happy life. Which they all did.

Everyone knows her tale, most of the girls around think my parents love story is the sweetest thing ever. Ugh, Gag.

Yeah I'm proud to be their daughter; they've done so much with their lives and had great experiences…the only problem? I kind of want to live those experiences on my own. People don't seem to get that I'm not my Mom, or my Dad.

Sure I have an old school notebook I use to write lyrics, though I can't shoot out songs like my Mom. And I've gotten okay at the guitar thanks to my Dad but I can't just sit down and write a hit. People see me as "The daughter of The Siren's Shadow." Or "The mini Annabeth Chase."

I'm never Kayden Jackson.

After walking into the school and hearding a cheerleader humming the song "Battle Scars" I made a promise.

I won't live in my Mother's shadow anymore. I don't know how or what I'm going to do but I'm going to show this school and this town that Kayden Jackson has her own voice. And it demands to be heard!

"C'mon Rider! Mom's waiting!" I yelled impatiently. Moments later I could hear Rider's feet pounding on the stairs before he was in front of me, his shirt wrinkly and messy.

I smiled despite being a little late and ruffled his hair. He gave me a toothy grin before rushing outside. I patted Belle's head as we passed. She was in her cage until my Dad gets home later, he'll let her out.

Mom was waiting patiently in the car when I got in the passenger seat. I got my driver's license a week ago but since my Mom works at the school I don't see the point of me driving us. And if I wanted to I could always walk with Landon. He and I only live ten minutes away.

Mom dropped Rider off at the elementary school then quickly drove us to the high school. After parking in her spot she gave me a smile before dashing out of the car and into the school.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair before playing the snow white beanie on my head. I was wearing light blue jeans, and a white tank top. Grey converse on my feet. I swung my owl shoulder bag trap over my shoulder and slowly walked into the school.

I sighed as I crashed down at the lunch table. Sarah rolled her eyes before offering half of her sandwich to me. I smiled gratefully as Landon slumped into the seat next to me. He took half of my half of the sandwich and chewed absentmindedly. I turned to Sarah; using my killer puppy dog eyes. She groaned before handing me her half.

"Gee Kay you'd think I'd get to eat one of my Mom's sandwiches. Just once!" She said playfully. I gave her a side hug and took a bite.

"You love me." I said cheekily. Sarah rolled her eyes again.

"No I put up with you." I nudged her as Landon grinned.

Sarah was quiet before her eyes brightened. I glanced to the right to see her latest crush Brandon walking towards us. She sighed dreamily as he winked at her. She turned to me; a large grin on her face.

"Brandon asked me out yesterday!" I smiled and put on a mock excited face.

"What? And you didn't inform your best friend right away?!" I dramatically turned away from her in mock betrayal. She scoffed before taking a bite out of the sandwich.

"This is why you're an idiot." She stated, her words a little muffled because of the food. I took the sandwich back.

"But I'm your idiot."

"No you're just hard to get rid of." She replied not even a second later. I pointed at her letting her know she won the round before taking a bite of the sandwich.

Aunt Emily really can make a decent sandwich.

I have my Mom's 6th period music class; I need some kind of fine arts credit. It's only the end of September so the new kids are still a little star struck over my Mom. It can get a little annoying.

Today we were just going to have a jam session; I love these days. I can sit in the corner and work on my own music instead of hearing others trying to copy my Mom.

Not even a minute in teacher changed the game plan. She placed all the other students in front of us and gestured over to me.

"C'mon Kay! Wanna sing a classic with your Mom?" She asked excitedly. The other students were staring at me in envy and I sighed sadly. I quickly put on a happy mask so she wouldn't notice.

"Um…Sure. Which one?"

0~0~0~0~0

I love my Mom. Really I do but I just need a break from her. I decided to walk home instead of riding with her. After replacing my books in my lockers I adjusted my beanie and started to walk out the main doors. Maybe Sarah can come over to watch movies or something.

"Hey Blondie wait up!" Landon shouted behind me. I slowly turned to face him and he frowned.

"What's wrong?" I shook my head and he shrugged.

We walked in relatively comfortable silence for about five minutes before Landon pulled out a sheet of paper.

"Oh hey I forgot to give you this."

I took it from his grasp and read it over quickly.

Talent Show!

Crestwood High's annual talent show will be in two weeks!

Anyone interested will need to pick up a form from the office; all are welcome. Tryouts will be next Monday during both lunches.

So bring your talent! We have four special judges this year!

I turned to give Landon a dirty look before crumpling up the flyer and tossing it at him. He grinned and threw it aside. The better part of me sighed before I went back and picked it up. Landon chuckled.

"Goodie, goodie." I rolled my eyes, in no mood for this. He seemed to notice because he lost his joking demeanor and turned to frown seriously; stopping in front of me.

"Seriously Jackson what's up?" I gave him a blank look before side stepping around him.

"The sky?" I questioned lightly. He rolled his eyes before gently grabbing my arm, making me stop and look at him.

"Good guess but let's try again; what's up with you?" I sighed, rubbing my eyes frustrated.

I frowned sadly. "It's just that….for a while now I've been living in the shadow of my Mom's talents. Everyone expects me to be like her; sing like her. And I love my Mom and think she's great at what she does but I'm not my Mom! I want people to notice me for my own voice; not hers."

Landon was quiet for a minute and I noticed we were standing in front of my house. The car was already in the driveway so I knew they were already home.

"Well do the talent show; sing one of your own songs. Maybe the one you've been writing for a month now?"

My eyes widened and I opened my mouth to question him but he shook his head.

"Kayden you're head has been stuffed in your journal. Either you were looking for Narnia or you've been writing a song."

I smiled and playfully shoved him. My smile softened as his blue eyes stared into my green.

"You're great at what you do Kayden." He whispered. "You just have to show others your Mom's past doesn't define your future."

A small smile worked its way onto my face, a blush already appearing. I stared down at my converse unable to meet his eyes and I heard him chuckle. Looking back up at him was a mistake because he just did that annoying and adorable hair flip thing he always does.

I mentally swooned.

I could faintly hear his goodbye and only snapped out of it when he started to walk away. I waved at him before turning and jogging into my house.

To my surprise Sarah was already here, looking out the window with a soda in her hand.

"You my friend are smitten. That was just sad Kay." She said cheekily. I rolled my eyes and started to walk into the kitchen. I grabbed my own soda and followed Sarah upstairs to my room; waving to Rider on the way.

I love my room because well…It's mine and you can tell. My parents let me repaint it. A light pink might have been good for a baby but I'm seventeen. Sarah jumped on my queen sized bed; it used to be my parents, the green and white polka dot comforter surrounding her. I smiled and sat down at my comfy desk chair.

I looked around. My white dresser had the top drawer open; a couple tank tops sticking out. My closet doors were closed so my clothes were hidden. Surprisingly my light grey carpet was pretty clean; the dark purple walls had old posters all over them.

I grabbed my journal and flipped through a couple pages. Sarah sat up and started to pull out her homework.

"Any new ideas?" She asked gesturing to my book. I shook my head.

"No I haven't really been thinking about lyrics the past couple of days."

Sarah nodded before she starting to flip through her math book, probably trying to find her homework. I stayed quiet; letting her work. I bit my lip as words started to float in my mind. I glanced up at an old band poster Uncle Cody got me.

I looked up at my Mom's picture. There was a shadow behind her though no light was shining on her. The shadow morphed slowly and my eyes widened when I saw myself standing behind my Mom on the poster. I'm not my Mom's shadow.

I shook my head quickly and started to write in my journal, humming a tune. As I wrote I started to add music notes to match my melody.

"Can you see me?

Cause I'm right here

Can you listen?

Cause I've been trying to

Make you notice

What it would mean to me…

To feel like somebody

We've been on our way

To nowhere

Tried so hard to get there…."

I sighed as the music left me. Mom always said it used to just come to her. I've always been a little jealous that it doesn't come that easily to me. I looked over to my wall, the one my bed was pressed up against.

Painted there in white letters was a saying I like to look at when I feel this way. It gives me hope.

"Don't be shy, let your heart sing and the world will sing along!"

Hmmm... :D does that quote sound familiar or what?

So I'm going with my friend to her cousin's wedding tomorrow which means Sunday I should have either another chapter of this or a fluffy romantic one shot for Percabeth. I'm going to a wedding lovey dovey feelings will be felt!

I'm going to only ask for five reviews but I would love to see more. I hope a lot of MWSU fans have moved on to this story and will review as wonderfully as they did for the first story.
