New beginnings
Carlos was used to people giving him dirty looks and calling him names whenever he walked trough town. You see, he was bisexual and also identified as agender, demisexual and aromantic.
"Hey freakazoid, where's your boyfriend or your girlfriend you spas" we're just some of the things that we're said to him.
He had also gotten beaten up a lot because of his sexuality choices. His nose had been broken twice, and his wrist was broken in three places, and one time his shoulder had popped out of it's socket after getting beat up.
He was well used to this by this stage. But it still made him cry late at night when no one was around.
He never felt like he belonged anywhere. He didn't even know who his parents were. He didnt even know if he had any family at all. All he knew was his name, Carlos Jackson he was told at the orphanage.
One day when he was walking trough town he noticed a weird looking thing beating up a kid down the block. He ran over to help "hey ugly, pick on someone your own size" he yelled.
As he got closer he saw that this guy was in fact a monster. It looked huge and only had one eye but Carlos had no idea what was going on.
"Carlos Jackson, I've been looking for you" said the guy as he ran towards Carlos.
Suddenly all he saw next was the flash of a blade and the monster crumbling to dust in front of him.
"Come with me if you want to live" said the girl that was standing in front of him. She grabbed his hand "we don't have much time, we have to get you to camp asap cause there will be more of them coming".
"What camp. More of who. Where are you taking me. Whats going on". Shouted Carlos as he was dragged away.
"Camp half blood, for people like us. Demigods. And more of those monsters will come if we don't hurry along" she said to him as they ran.
"My names Hazel by the way, what's yours".
"Carlos Jackson" he replied.
After a long time running the reached camp halfblood.
"Half meaning what" asked Carlos stupidly.
"Half God" she said as they crosses the border.
She brought him up to the big house to meet Chiron. "I found him in town being attacked by a cyclopse".
"Come inside Carlos so we can chat" Chiron said to him.
After they had finished talking and Carlos accepting everything, they headed off for dinner as the horn blew in the background "I'm sure you will be chosen by your godly parent at dinner, now let's go".
They got to the mess hall and Chiron went to his seat and told the Hermes cabin to let Carlos sit with them until he was chosen.
Suddenly tho whole mess hall went silent, "what's going on" asked Carlos.
Chiron pointed to above Carlos's head and he looked up at the glowing Trident, "Hail Carlos Jackson, son of the stormbringer, son of the earthshaker, hail Carlos son of Poseidon".
"Not another freak like Percy" shouted Clarisse.
Carlos flexed his hand and a spout of water drenched the girl from head to toe and she ran away. Everyone was laughing at what happened and clapping along.
Since he had been chosen, Carlos went to sit down at the Poseidon table beside Percy.
"Hi, welcome to cabin 3, I'm Percy Jackson".
"Thanks, I'm Carlos". He didn't want to say his last name just yet so he could find out more about him.
