Hi! It's me, Flo. Here is the second chapter. Hope you like it. As always, sorry for the grammar mistakes. I don't own anything but Emma.
PLEASE READ THIS: This is not a crossover with the kane chronicles,okay? The names Sadie and Liz in the prequel of this story were the first names I came out with, then I noticed they were from TKC and for Emma, this name is one of my favorite, so I called her Emma. Unconsciously thinking it was one of Sadie's friend. Thanks (:
Chapter 2 – They Finally Get on My Nerves
Emma's POV
I sat on the couch. So did Annabeth, which was still holding that sort of stick, and Percy. I was on the middle, so I felt really uncomfortable with their faces on me.
"Err…okay, so what is do you want to talk about?" I asked. They were getting on my nerves.
Annabeth answered:
"Do you remember that Percy was coming next week?" I nodded and she continue "Well it kind of… arrived earlier" She said with a hesitant voice. It was like they were nervous talking about this to me and they talk this through before. I glanced at Percy, who gave a little nod to Annabeth like indicating to keep talking.
"Yeah, I obviously noticed that, but I wonder how did he arrive so fast? I talked to him on the morning and I'm pretty sure he was in New York"
Percy sighed, he looked around, and for the first time, I noticed something was wrong. The living room was torn. The café table which used to be in front of the couch wasn't there. But I could notice kindling over the floor. I noticed the photos frames were crooked and even some glasses were broken. The wallpaper was ripped. And a lot more things, furniture, et cetera was broken. But something in particular caught my attention, near my spot, was like slime or blood? Hope not. And dust, but not the normal dust, it got a strange color. Something weird.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?" I yelled to my friends. I stood up looking at them. They exchange worried looks. "WHAT IS THIS?" I yelled, again, pointing to the dust and slime/blood, which I was standing in top of it.
Percy looked at me and asked me something really stupid:
"What can you see?" Why he asked me what I can see and not what I see. It's not like I cannot see things and I have perfect sight, according to my doctor.
"Well, I see the wallpaper ripped, the slime or whatever it is…" I started saying everything I saw on the room, but at the time I was about to say the last thing, the stick Annabeth was holding, I hesitated. I was not sure if was a stick or another thing, apparently it changed its figure because the next thing I knew, I was seeing a knife. No, not a knife, a dagger. Why on earth would Annabeth carry a dagger?
"A… Is that a da-dagger?" I said, my voice was shaking. All my worries were suddenly turned into fear. I couldn't explain what did I fear, butfear took control over me. Then I noticed it. I started walking backwards, I was not afraid of Percy and Annabeth, but the thing behind them, was freaking me out.
I raise my hand with my index finger pointing behind them.
"S-Some…" my voice was shaking so badly, I couldn't pronounce a complete sentence "Be-behind"
Annabeth and Percy turned around, with a surprised face, Annabeth raised her stick/dagger and Percy reached for a pencil in his pocket. Meanwhile wondering how Percy could manage to control that enormous bear with a pencil, I curled up in the corner, hoping the bear wouldn't see me. Before I closed my eyes, I saw Percy uncap his pencil, turning into a, you got to be kidding me, really? A baseball bat? It was some kind of joke this. Since when bears live in San Francisco? Since when 5 cents pens turn into baseball bats?
With my eyes closed, I heard weird things, but I didn't take importance in that. Then I sensed someone shaking my shoulder, it was slightly, so it must be Annabeth. I slowly opened my eyes and met grey concerned eyes.
"Are you okay?" Annabeth was whispering, like she usually did when my mom was in depression. She got the strange slime/blood all over her hair and for what I could saw, Percy was nowhere to be seen.
"Yeah, what was this all about?" I whispered, my voice was too weak from fear, I couldn't believe what I just saw. Annabeth seems to understand how it felt. She hugged me and sat next to me. We were only sitting, not talking, just thinking. Annabeth was waiting Percy to talk. She didn't said it, but I knew, it.
Minutes after, Percy got out from the kitchen. He slightly nodded to Annabeth. Annabeth understanding what this mean (Seriously, they could communicate telepathically), she stood up and handed me a hand for help, I took it and stood up.
We were as we started, sitting in the same couch and the same spots, which I was not happy with, the only difference was the room was a little more destroyed. If someday I see my house like that, it would break my heart. This was the place where she grew up here, she must be really fond of this place, I admired her for maintaining strong.
I broke the silence.
"Can you please explain all this?" I asked them, I was freaking out, they finally get on my nerves. I stood up and started pacing through the room. Eating my nails. I must be rather nervous, cause I didn't ate my nails since I heard my parents fighting. I shook the thought out of my head. I couldn't afford a breakdown right there. So much happened that morning. The bear, the torn living room, Annabeth holding a dagger and Percy a bat, everything was nonsense. Things didn't match.
"Of course we will explain you, but not today, it's getting late, you should get home. If it makes you feel better you can write every question and come tomorrow, we read it and we answer it, okay?" Annabeth talked to me like I was toddler. I was starting to get angry. I can't believe they were to talk me about something, which seemed important and then drop it.
"Okay, I will arrive tomorrow morning, okay?" I said, they could notice my anger. They glanced at me with apologetically looks. And I left the house, got on my car. When I arrived home, everyone was sleeping. Screw you, Annabeth, why did you live so far from my home.
I ran into my room, took paper and pencil and wrote a single phrase.
Annabeth's POV
"Percy! Can you belive it? Emma was with us meanwhile a chimera attacked us!"
"I know, what do you think she saw? This place was already pretty destroyed when she arrived, but she took long enough to notice. How much did the Mist covered?"
"Sincerely, I don't know, she saw my dagger and the monster's blood" I answered him. We were sitting on the couch, Percy had an arm around my shoulders and my head was on his shoulder. The Chimera attack destroyed the electricity on my house, so we were on the dark. We couldn't figure out how we could clean this mess. Before I ran out with Thalia and Luke, I was used to see my house all torn and being a mess, but they have passed 8 years since I didn't see like this.
"We will tell her, right?" Percy asked
"Of course we will, but first we have to get to camp. Chiron needs to give us permission. She had see enough to know the true" I confessed
"Are you sure she's not a demigod?" I sighed, we discussed this before Emma arrived.
"Yes Percy, I'm completely sure she is not a demigod, she lived with her parents long enough to delete that option"
"Well then, so it's better we start cleaning this before everyone else arrived" He said. I was surprised, he never wanted to clean.
"Yeah it's better to get started" When the rest arrived (dad, my stepmom, Bobby and Matthew) we were almost finished, the only thing missing was the ripped wallpaper and the café table. We spent a long night explaining everything.
