What if fem! Percy discovered that she was a demi-goddess when she was seven? What if she figured out why her mum married Smelly Gabe? What if she ran away? What if she was Apollo's Roman legacy?

A seven year old with black hair with gold steaks ran as the snake woman chased after her.

She had just finished gymnastics practice and was heading home when the woman had attacked her. Her step-father was supposed to pick her up but he was too lazy to be bothered. Actually she was pretty sure that he would prefer that she didn't return at all.

"Little Demi-goddesssss, sssstop and let me eat you," the monster hissed after her fleeing prey.

Of course, that only made her sprint faster until she tripped. It looked like that the monster had won but when she had tripped, her gymnastics ribbon had fallen out of her as well as her sun clip which transformed into a dagger. Both items had belonged to her grandmother which had passed to her.

She quickly got to her feet with the ribbon in one hand and the dagger in the other. Facing the monster, she flicked her ribbon so it tangled up in the serpent trunks the monster had for legs causing the monster to trip face down. Before the monster could rise, she stabbed it with her dagger. The monster hissed as it deteriorates in to golden dust. The girl stood shell shocked at the fact that one of the myths her mother read to her every night was real. That a Scythian Dracanae had attacked her and the fact her father wasn't dead, he was a god.

But why would her mother marry a smelly man like her step-father if she had been with a god? Her mother told her every night that she was the most precious thing in her life, so she married him because he smells so human that it covered her godly scent to stop monsters from attacking her. But now that she knew this, would her mother leave him with her there? Not likely. So she would have to run away like she had seen in her dreams and pin her disappearance on her step-father for her mother to achieve her dream of writing her own book.

She walked home, planning on running away.

She walked into her mother's apartment; Smelly Gabe was playing poker with his buddies like usual. She sighed as she got ready to deal with him.

"So the brat's finally home, go get me and my friends a beer, worthless trash," He ordered, not caring about his step-daughter at all or the fact he was supposed to pick her up from practice.

She went her received the requested items before disappearing to her room. She found her school bag and emptied the contents on her bed. She picked up her artwork supplies, her hidden money, first aid kit and eight sets of clothing and placed them in the bag before stashing her school equipment under her bed. She grabbed three of her favourite photos, one of her grandparents and her mother, one with her great-uncle and her mother and the last with both her and her mother and wrapped them in a blanket and stashed them in the bag, she fletched her school toiletries and stored them in the bag. She placed the bag next to her flute case as she would have a lesson the following day. She would grab food on her way out as her step-father was to drop her off at her teacher's place in the morning which he won't do.

"Sweetie, how was your practice?" Her mother asked as she entered the girl's room.

The demi-goddess hugged her mother tightly and answered, "Great, the coach says I have improved a lot since he last saw me but Smelly Gabe didn't pick me up this afternoon so I walked home."

"Persephone Artemis Jackson, What have I said about calling your step-father Smelly?" Mrs Jackson warned.

Percy frowned, "Not to."

"Good girl," Her mother praised before asking about her plans for tomorrow.

Percy smiled sadly, knowing today would be the last day her mother would see her or she would receive hugs from her mother taste her mother's baking. "I'm planning after my flute lesson tomorrow morning to spend time in the library to complete my summer homework," Percy informed her mother as she did every week on Sunday.

"Ok, I made cookies for you to give to your classmates so remember to fletch them before you leave, okay?" Sally reminded her. They both walked out to have dinner.

What Sally didn't know was the lesson had been cancelled because the teacher had fallen ill and Gabe had been the one to receive the message, though one of Percy's Gymnastics friends also attended flute lessons had passed the message to Percy.

The next day after Gabe had left to check on his employees, Percy gathered storable foods that were long-lasting and dumped them into her bag before writing her farewell note.

Mum, I love you but I can't stay in the way of your dreams. You deserve better than being treated like a servant in your own home. Maybe without me around you can achieve your dreams that you put on hold to protect me. Smelly Gabe should rot in the fields of punishment. When he dies I hope Uncle Hades punishes him thoroughly. I love you and I will be fine. I have a dagger able to kill monsters and my ribbon. I think grandma was a demi-goddess like me as her clip transformed into a dagger. Love you forever, Persephone Artemis Jackson, Daughter of Sally Jackson and whoever my father is, Great-Granddaughter of someone. PS I Love You but Be Selfish. Go for your dreams.

She took one more look around the apartment before whispering farewell.
