A year later...
Jackson's POV
Jackson Pines, Jackson Pines, Jackson Pines.
I woke up in the middle of a beach not knowing what had happened or where I was... all I could remember was my name. I started walking around when I saw two girls talking to a... what the heck was that?
First I thought it was another girl but then it turned to an ugly monster-like thing, and they weren't talking, it was hurting them!
I don't know where my motivation came from, but I decided to go help them.

Third person POV
"Hey, are you sure this is the right place? I mean, I don't see any demigod potential here" cried Piper
"Shut up! It could be anyone" hushed Hazel. 
"But, I mean, why are WE looking for demigods, shouldn't this be coach hedge's work?"
"Yeah, but we had free time, and we do need more campers..."
"Fine, but let's hurry"
They searched the entire beach but they didn't find anything that seemed powerful.
Piper stopped all of a sudden and muttered "dracaena"
"What?" the younger demigod asked.
"Whatever you do, don't listen"
"Okay" said Hazel, a little nervousness could be sensed in her voice
The dracaena paced towards them and said "well, well, well, what do we have here? Fresh meat, i presume"
The girls stoop still, not a single muscle moved
"Put down your weapons" she commanded
"Hazel. Don't listen"-said piper urgently
"I said... PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPONS"
Hazel's face looked like she was going to explode, she was really getting some scrambled brains for breakfast
Piper could bear the mind control, but she didn't know how well Hazel could handle the dracaena messing with her head
"Come on, I don't want to kill you yet, you seem fun" she said as she played with hazel's hair "just put your sword down, I promise it will all be okay, it will all end soon" her voice was so soothing, it echoed in Hazel's mind as she nodded and put down the sword
"And now, why don't you proceed to close your eyes as I kill you?"
Hazel looked confused, but she still did as told
"Stop!" Yelled Piper
The dracaena lifted her sword, ready to kill Hazel, when suddenly a humongous wave crashed against the beast, allowing the daughter of Aphrodite to stab her.
Behind the wave was a young guy with jet black hair, sea green eyes and a perfect tan
"Oh gods..."-Piper
"What?" Asked Hazel, rubbing the back of her head as Piper pointed the reason she had exclaimed, not being able to emit any other sound.
"Oh gods" echoed Hazel.
"I-is that...P-percy?" The elder half blood whispered.
"I-I don't know. He looks just like him"
The girls approached the guy and he said "Hey, you okay? What was that?"
"Yeah, we're fine. Th-that was a dracaena...a very ancient monster. Wh-what's your name? Asked Piper cautiously.
"Uh... My name is Jackson Pines, what are yours?"
"Hazel and Piper...why aren't you amused by us saying it's a monster"
"I have seen some very weird stuff lately, so I thought I'd help"
"Oh...and you conjured up those waves..?"
"Yeah, I don't know how I did that...actually I don't remember anything but my name" he shamefully admitted, scratching his arm anxiously.
"Hera?"-Piper asked reluctantly
"Maybe"answer Hazel
"What?" Asked Jackson
"There is much to explain...you need to come with us..."Piper said
"What do you mean? I don't even known you." He questioned
"Please come with us, we are here to help, just like you helped us!" Said Piper, lacing her words with charmspeak.
As predicted, the male followed the girls, as he'd been told.
"So, Percy...I-I mean Jackson"said hazel trying to wrap around her head that this wasn't Percy.
"Did you call me Percy?"
"Yeah...sorry...you look just like a friend of ours...he died a year ago and he could control water just like you"
"Cool! I mean...I'm sorry for your loss"
"Yeah. Thanks" replied Hazel.
"Okay, so back to the original topic... this may sound weird but... greek gods are real, I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, she's a daughter of Pluto, Hades' roman form, and we are almost sure that you are a son of Poseidon. He had only had one son, Percy, but it seems like he also had you.."-said Piper without taking a breath.
"Okay...I think I get it"
"Great, let's get to the Argo II" the Aphrodite girl said excitedly.
"The what?" Asked jackson confused
"Argo II, it's our flying ship, come on!" Said Hazel as they raced him to the ship.

Once they got to the ship Piper and Hazel finished explaining.
A door creaked open and a blonde girl, with gray eyes, and a mug in her hand came out of one of the rooms.
She went to the meeting rooms to find Hazel, Piper, and... Percy?
Annabeth's mug dropped to the ground.
"Perseus Jackson?!! Wh-what are you doing? I-i thought you were dead! I- I- how could you do this to me? How could you do this to us? Huh? Explain!" Said Annabeth, her heart almost dropped on the floor
"Uuuuh.... Whaaaaat?" Asked Jackson
"Don't act like you don't know what happened!"
"Um...Annabeth...this is Jackson Pines. A new camper" said Piper
"Wh-what? He-he... I- I'm sorry" she said as she ran toward her room, tears streaming down her face
"What was that about?" Asked Jackson
"That was Annabeth. She was Percy's girlfriend" answered Hazel
"Oh"he muttered
"Percy?" Asked a voice coming from the hallway
"No. Jackson Pines"
"Oh...sorry...I'm Leo. Leo Valdez. Nice to meet you"
"Yeah, you too"
"So...how did you get here?"
"Piper and Hazel were attacked by a dracaena, I think that's what they're called, so I summoned a wave and drowned it"
"You- you summoned a wave?!" Asked Leo amused
"Yeah...who's your parent?"
"Oh, it's Hephaestus, look" he said as he showed Jackson a little flame on his hand
"Cool!" Jackson exclaimed
After their small chat Jason, Frank and Nico arrived. When they reached the meeting room they froze
"Percy?" They all asked
"FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, MY NAME IS JACKSON PINES, I AM NOT PERCY, NEVER MET HIM BEFORE."
"Sorry... I'm Nico"
"Frank"
"Jason"
"Jackson, hi"
"Hi...mind telling us your story while we get to camp?" Asked jason
"Yeah, why not" he answered
