[COMPLETED] We Can Be Heroes--PJO Fanfic (Book 1)

Some Place Like Home

Mike's POV

She is so beautiful.

I could jump up and down, screaming at the sight in front of me: Jessica. She's finally awake! However, I am a bit too good at controlling my emotions because I stay where I am, which is at a picnic table near the pavilion.

Jessica catches my eye and smiles a little, but I can see the utter confusion and amazement from here.

What I see next, though, confuses me. Percy is leading her to his cabin.

Has she been claimed already? Wait, that makes no sense. She couldn't be a daughter of Poseidon. . . or could she?

I stand up and walk over, smirking at Jessica. "Hey," I greet, snaking my arm around her shoulders.

"Hey. Sorry about not immediately getting you when she woke up. We had just come across a very interesting matter," Percy says.

I raise an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue. What interesting matter? Does this have something to do with him taking her to his cabin?

Jessica laughs a little, then shrugs and says, "Annabeth and Percy seem to think I could be a daughter of Poseidon or Neptune."

Jessie's POV

The look on Mike's face sends a shiver down my spine. The worst part about it: I know why. What I had just said makes no sense whatsoever. I couldn't have lived this long by myself with being a daughter of one of the Big Three.

"Percy is just going to let me stay in his cabin until I'm claimed," I say, the words coming out in a rush. I don't know why, but Mike makes me nervous.

Mike smiles down at me. "Oh, okay. Go on ahead. I'll see you later." He kisses my forehead, and walks away, causing me to stand there, even more confused than I already was.

Percy leads me to the cabin in an awkward silence. He had tried to break it several times, but I didn't react to anything. I just couldn't stop thinking.

He kissed my forehead. I'm a demigod. He kissed my forehead. My favorite people are real. He kissed my forehead. I'm losing my mind.

I walk inside the cabin, and my breath catches in my throat. It is so much more beautiful than I had imagined.

"Considering I'm the only known demigod of Poseidon, there's a lot of room. Make yourself at home, Jessica."

"Jessie," I correct, "just call me Jessie."

"Okay, Jessie. Annabeth should be over here quickly with some clothes for you."

I nod and walk around the cabin. Simple, but beautiful. Just like the ocean.

I hope I can stay here. I hope I can finally call somewhere home.
