Summary: What if Percy had been a lone wandered with Annabeth, Luke and Thalia? Would the fates change?
Chapter 1
I watched stunted as she closed my room door and walked away. The words from this morning still rang in my ears, and as if that was not enough, the spiders started coming out. I yelled and howled and banged at the door, begging to be let out but she and Dad, they just walked past, telling me to stay quiet. I strained to hear the click of the lock opening but heard nothing except for their voices from the morning. She had said that I was a bad influence on Sammy and Quip and Dad had agreed, it was like they hated me and did not want me. They resented me and thought I was liar, and I knew for a fact that they wanted me dead. Big spiders, with crawling skin begin to make way towards me and I yelled. I frantically looked around for some way escape this hell and my eyes land on my bedroom window. Without hesitation I jump and find myself in the back garden. I look towards the lights of the house and I am tempted to go there but I know what she would say " Look, Annabeth's lying again and she even jumped out of the window, I am sure right on my flower beds." No. No matter what, I would not go back there; I wish all of them rot in the depths of hell. I would rather starve on the streets then put up with her and with that I turned my back on the house where I had stayed for seven years and walked away into the unknown without even a glance back.
A WEEK LATER :
The snake ladies were irritating; they kept on following me and showing their fangs. I was terrified but the only solution was to outrun them or hide. As I ran I bumped into some one running from the other side and I cried; now I was trapped. The person fell back and I got a good look at his face. I was sure he was a monster and I began to hit him, punch him as hard as possible but suddenly a wall of water slammed into my back and I was drenched and splattered on the ground.
"Would you please stop hitting me?" The monster crocked.
"No, you are a monster." I yelled as I slowly got on my feet, they were sore from running around and my pajamas were covered with dust, monsters had been attacking me all week and I had no idea where I was.
"No, I am not a monster, I have also been chased by them though." He said and I looked up at his face. Raven hair all messed up and sea green eyes full of wildness. I could easily imagine him as a monster but then something told me, he was not a monster.
"Not a monster?" I asked hesitantly, on my guard to punch him if necessary.
"No, but yeah, I fight them too." He crocked and then asked "Have you got some water?"
"No, but there is a stream nearby." I said as I helped him up and we both made our way to the stream.
"Who are you?" I asked after a while when we were resting under a tree, though above seemed like a better idea to me but one look at his leg and I knew there was no way he could climb.
"My name is Percy, Percy Jackson." He said
"Annabeth Chase." I replied still a bit short. "How are you here?"
"I ran away." I was shocked and could not help asking why.
"My step- father Smelly Gabe, kill-killed my mom." He cried and added "She told me to run away, I could not save her." And he began to cry even harder. After a while, he asked me my story and I told him how I had run away due to her and he sighed and said " Well what now?"
"I do not know but I think you should rest that leg of yours." I said gesturing to his leg which was almost seared.
"No, it is fine, just what I deserve." He said and he sounded so broken that I could not help but hug him. At first he seemed shocked but then he relaxed and even agreed to my suggestion to dip that leg in the stream.
What happens when Percy puts his leg in the stream?
