Chapter One

Shut up.

Don't say a word.

Because he can't.

No Percy Jackson can't talk. He writes out his sentences. No one understands why, they don't bother to ask. If they bothered they would find a boy without parents. They would find a boy put into foster care after his mom was murdered right in front of him.

They'd find a boy who has given up hope for his voice to be heard. Because his speaking didn't save her. His speaking couldn't do anything to get that monster away from her. Because actions where to only thing that got him out of that hell, even if he did lose his mom.

But . . . What about a girl who does try?
