A/N After reading a lot of fanfics I finally decided to write my own so here it goes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson

Chapter 1

London, England 1763

A woman's cries of pain pierced the calm night air. Percy could only watch in horror as his father began to beat his mother and cut here with his old army knife. As his mother screamed in agony Percy began to throw punches at him but at only four years of age his blows were barely noticed by his dad. Percy in his growing desperation kicked his dad in the groin, the one place he knew it would hurt. Percy accomplished his goal and his dad stopped beating his mom only for him to turn his rage on Percy. Percy felt nothing but fear until he saw his dad slash him with his knife opening a wound from his temple to the corner of his mouth. The pain was unbearable his dad had never cut him only beat him. Percy not knowing what to do ran for his life and never looked back as he sprinted through the narrow streets of London he came across a group of women all of whom were armed with bows and knives. Percy thought that there armament was a bit strange but he knew they would be able to help him.

"Help me my mother is being beaten by my dad help me." A breathless Percy asked the girl who he only assumed to be their leader.

"Step aside boy before I kill you myself." Was the only answer he got.

"Zoe, calm down let us help his mother for any woman abused by a man deserves our help." Said a small girl with auburn hair and stunning silver eyes from the back of the group.

"Very well milady." The Zoe girl grudgingly said the girl turned her attention back to Percy, "Take us there now and we will see what we can do." With that Percy felt relief, finally someone might end his suffering! Soon after Percy arrived at his apartment and walked into a sight he would never forget. His mother was lying on the floor surrounded by a pool of her own blood and his dad was simply sitting there drinking more ale.

"You are the abomination that has killed this women?" The auburn-haired girl asked.

"Why yes that would be me, and if you ask me I say good riddance." Percy's father replied barely able to keep his seat he was so drunk.

"Then you shall die!" Said the one named Zoe as she fit an arrow on her bowstring and fired hitting the man in the chest killing him before he hit the floor. Percy was shocked finally all the suffering he had felt would be over. Soon he became aware of the fact that the girls were leaving.

"Wait you can't leave me I have nowhere to go!" Percy pleaded.

"We don't take you filthy men with us." Responded Zoe. Percy soon had tears in his beautiful sea green eyes as the only hope of finding the one thing he ever had was denied, a family. The auburn-haired girl looked like she felt bad about leaving him so Percy thought to try his luck with her.

"Please I have no home." Percy pleaded. The girl had an obvious mental struggle and finally caved in.

"While I can not take you with me the best I can do is give you my blessing so hopefully you will be able to survive."

"But milady-"

"Hush Zoe I have made my decision and it is final" Zoe still looked like she wanted to argue but she remained silent. "Now child come forth and receive my blessing." As soon as Percy walked up the girl placed her hand upon his head and muttered "I Artemis give you my blessing." As soon as she was silent all Percy felt was excruciating pain and everything went black.

Soon Percy woke up in the middle of a clearing somewhere in the woods. All he knew was that he was alone and that the ocean was nearby, for some reason he always knew when an ocean was nearby. With nothing better to do Percy got up and started to walk through the woods. He began to think of the events of the day his blessing from Artemis, Gabe's death, and also his mom's death. Tears sprung up in Percy's eyes when he thought of his mom and soon he broke down crying not only because of his mom but also because he was completely alone and had no idea what to do now. Percy sat there crying until he no longer could and the only noise that came from him was sobs. Percy was pulled out of his misery when he heard twigs breaking to his right, immediately he was on his feet and prepared to run. However, all he saw was a man with strange looking overly hairy legs standing here staring at him.

"Hello there." Percy softly cried out.

Eventually the man responded to him. "Follow me if you wish for somewhere safe to go." He said and with that he walked off into the forest. Percy hesitantly followed.

"Wait!" Percy yelled "Where are we going?" Percy asked as he caught up to him.

"Somewhere safe." Was the only response he got. So they continued walking for nearly an hour without stopping until soon howls could be heard in the distance. Percy and the man froze. "Hell hounds" the man said under his breathe.

"What did you say?" Percy asked as the howling grew louder.

"Run! We are almost there!" The man said taking off into a sprint. Percy immediately ran for his life after the man. Percy felt surprisingly nimble as he ran jumping over tree roots and ducking under limbs. But at four years old he could only run so fast and soon the hell hounds were catching up to him. "Listen kid you need to get by that tree up there before it's too late!" The man yelled over shoulder as he pointed to the tree. Percy put on a burst of speed and made it past the tree only to find the man wasn't there with him looking back he saw him facing down a massive black dog with glowing red eyes. Soon, horns were blown from down in the valley but Percy knew any help would be too late for the man. He soon pulled out a strange bronze knife as the hell hound attacked but he was no fighter as he slashed wildly the hell hound dodged and raked its claws against the back of the unbalanced man. Percy screamed in anger despite the fact he didn't know him he felt protective of the man and he ran out to help him not realizing the danger he was placing himself in as he slid down to help him he looked up at Percy and pointed to his knife that lay on the ground. "Pick up my knife and use it." He said. "It is the only metal on Earth that can kill such a fiend." Percy grabbed the knife and faced the hell hound shaking with fear as he thought about what he was about to do. Percy felt the urge to run but he knew running would mean death for the man so he stood protectively in front of him as the hell hound charged and tried to kill Percy in one charge. Percy seeing this felt instinct take over and sidestepped the lunging monster and stabbed through the neck as at went by, as he stabbed he felt a strange tugging sensation across his chest but thought nothing of it. Strangely instead of blood gold dust exploded everywhere covering Percy and the man who likely died to protect him. Soon he could hear people running towards him as he knelt by the man as he cradled his head in his lap Percy nearly dropped him as he saw the horns sticking out of his head. Soon he looked up and nearly fainted as he saw a man who starting below the torso had the body of a horse.

"Poor Grover." The half horse man said. "He was so young." As he looked down his eyes were soon filled with concern as the young child had blood covering his chest all of it coming from three slash marks in his chest. "My boy we must heal you come with me." Percy simply nodded and as he rose up from the ground he felt woozy and saw the ground rushing forward to meet him.

A/N So, so far so good? Please review it's the only way it can get better.
