The beginning of that day 2:30 in the morning- Annabeth's P.O.V
I found myself inside of the grossest apartment that I had ever seen. Beer cans were piled lazily in the waste basket and over flowing, remains of cigars were scattered
across the floor and near a child's toy. 'Great idea' I thought scornfully 'Leave lung damaging drugs with in a child's reach.' Who ever lived here had very little regard for their
child's health. Looking around I could see that the apartment was very small and was dwarfed even more by the junk that had been carelessly thrown around it.
"Thanks for staying with me Cassie." A child's voice spoke up. Turning around I saw a small boy sitting at a cleared off table with a woman. The two of them were playing
with a grimy 'Candy land' board game. The boy had shamefully messy black hair and watery sea-green eyes.
"It's no problem at all Percy." The woman smiled. My heat stopped at the name. I did another once over of the boy and wanted to slap myself for not seeing it sooner. The
boy was a miniature version of my boyfriend, his cheeks were less descriptive but he looked fairly skinny for his age. "I love to spend time with you."
"I wish Gabe wouldn't..."
Before he could finish his sentence the slamming of a car door cut him off. Cassie looked out the window nervously for a moment and then back at Percy. I could almost see
the internal debate in her head of what she should do. The young boy frowned when she stood obviously unhappy about her decision. She kissed the top of his head and left
him in the apartment alone.
"Got to hide." Percy whispered as he stood. He made it into the living room when the door of the apartment was nearly knocked off of it's hinges.
"Woman, get me a beer!" A voice bellowed as a plump, greasy man made his way into the kitchen. The small boy peeked wearily around the entrance of the living room.
"She's at work." He whispered.
The man looked at him with malice. The boy quickly hid behind the wall hoping to go un-noticed, but the boy's luck wasn't that good. The man came waddling in and looked
down at the young boy. I felt my heart seize at the sight of it. The man lifted a hand and the boy flinched as it was rested on top of his head. The man tightened his grip on
the boy's stark black hair and made the boys sea-green eyes stare into his dull brown.
"And why would she leave you here alone brain boy?" The man asked pushing his face close in front of the young boy's. The boy fought back a whimper and tried to stand tall
when he spoke.
"The name's Percy, not brain boy, and Cassie was watching me until you got home." Percy told him feeling pretty proud of his explanation. He must have been happy pointing
out where Gabe was wrong.
Gabe became furious believing his step-son was back talking him. The cruel man lifted Percy by the front of his shirt and smashed his back against the wall. The small boy let
out a yelp of shock as the air escaped his lungs. Gabe pulled back his balled fist and struck defenseless Percy across the face and abdomen until Percy ceased to struggle. I
felt hot tears burning my eyes, Percy was so adorable and injured I wanted to scoop him up and hug him tightly. Then I wanted to stab Gabe in his fat greasy face.
Gabe released the front of his shirt and let Percy crumble to the floor breathless.
"That'll teach you to back talk me." Gabe grumbled as he walked over the Percy and into the kitchen. Percy scrambled to his feet wobbling from the onslaught of blows he
had just received. Furiously he rubbed the tears from his eyes and hid in his room.
I woke up with a start. I tried to tell myself it was just a dream, but when you're a demigod they are never 'just dreams'. Why hadn't Percy told me? He said things were bad
with Gabe, but, this wasn't what I expected. Looking around my room I saw that my brothers and sisters were asleep. checked my alarm it said two-thirty in the morning. I
groaned quietly as I fell back on my pillow. Percy would be asleep for another seven hours. Seven hours I'd have to wait to find out the truth!
