The Silver Line

-Chapter Two-

PERCY.

I zipped up my fleece, and gently shut the door behind me. I turned and took one last at my home. The small, dilapidated house that seemed to be moving and tilting with every gust of wind. I drank it in, memorising every nook and cranny in it. I looked around the windows and saw the bright reflection of Hazel's gold eyes in the window on the stairs. She disappeared from my sight after she caught me looking.

"Goodbye Hazel." I whispered, turning around to face the one track road that lead to the big city

"PERCY! PERCY WAIT! DON'T GO, YOU CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT ME!" I heard her screaming

I felt her slam into my back, clinging on for dear life.

"Percy, you can't leave me."

I let loose a sigh.

"Hazel, you know I can't let you come with me."

"But Percy you can't leave me here with him."

She was right: I couldn't. I sighed again.

"Hazel, please don't make this any harder-"

"I know, but Percy please… I don't know what will happen to me after you go, please. You are the only family I have left, just please don't leave me with him." She begged, still clinging on

I felt my resolve slowly crumble inside, like an old brick wall was scattering itself, burying deep inside my gut. She's right. What would mother think if I left her with him. She would have died for nothing. I flicked my hair out of my eyes and squatted down, holding my arms out behind me.

"Well, come on then." I said

Hazel hopped on, and I began walking again.
