The Betrayal:
Really sorry for the long wait! I've got exams and all…
Anyway I won't keep you any longer! Here is chapter 2!
Chapter 2:
I woke with a start and shot out of bed. I emmediately regretted it. A sharp pain shot through me and I fell back down. Slowly, carefully, I tried again and this time, I successfully got out of the bed.
I went to my closet to find something to wear.. I at least had to look approachable on my first day of school… I chose a black skinny jean, a white tank top with a red leather jacket over it with some black combat boots.. After I got dressed, I ate a bowl of Pronutro and got into my recently brought Audi TT and drove to school.
I got there just in time. I signed in at the front office and was assigned a 'guide' for the day which I was to meet outside. I sighed and walked right into my guide. I blushed and apologised.
This dude was pretty hot with his sea green eyes and raven black hair... Snap out of it! I scolded myself.
"Errr… Hi… I'm Percy Jackson… " he greeted ackwardly.
I confidently stuck my hand out to shake his. "Hey I'm Annabeth Ch… " before I could finish he cut me off with a glare.
"Give me you schedule." he quickly demanded. Very confused at his sudden change of moods, I handed it to him. He studied it for a few minutes and stormed of. I heard him grumble something in the line of follow me… I didn't want to be late for my first class, so I followed him.
Turns out that my first class was English with Mr Blowfish. Percy was also in this class. The entire period he ignored me.. Scrap that. The entire day! Knowing no one, the day dragged by and I couldn't be more delighted when the bell rang indicating school is over. Lucky for me, Percy was in every one of my classes today... Before Percy could sneak away, I caught up to him.
He quickly glanced at me and started walking faster.
"Percy wait please. I'm sorry but did I do something wrong?" I asked desperately.
He was silent for a while, but he finally cracked. I could see it in his eyes. They burned with anger. "Define wrong?! Is leaving someone soaking wet after they saved your life considered wrong? With nothing but a note saying that they called your mother?" he demanded.
Realisation struck me. He was the mysterious boy from the night before…
"Percy I'm so sorry but I didn't know what else to do!"
"Sorry?! You are sorry? That's all? O you are unbelievable!" He yelled and stormed off into a direction.
Of course, I followed him, wanting to set this right. He turned into an alleyway and when I finally caught up, he was nowhere to be seen.. Strange, I could have sworn he turned in here.. Maybe he is in the next street, I thought. As I turned around, somebody grabbed me. Their hands wrapped around my neck. I stayed quite, not ready to give myself away yet. You see, I'm a black belt in karate and could really kick some ass. The man dragged me around the corner, took me into a room and down some stairs. A big white room full of computers came into view and he entered , dragging me along. That's when I unleashed my 'inner beast' (as I like to call it). I elbowed him in the face, wich caught him off guard. I used his confusion to my advantage and twisted around, knocking his knees out under him, causing him to stumble and lose his balance. Then lastly I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine and he fell onto the ground curled up into a small ball.
I took a look at his face, and I gasped.
It was…
"Percy?!" He just groaned in confirmation.
I heard clapping from behind me and a familiar voice said," Well done Ms. Chase.." I swerved around and was face to face with Mr Brunner.
"But you… English...how… what?" I stuttered, struggling to find words.
I hear Percy laughing on the floor.
"Silent Agent Jackson! She is just as confused as you were at first!" he ordered.
Agent Jackson? Now I was even more confused!
"Explain. NOW!" I demanded.
" Well you see, this is a very long and complicated story.." he started.
"I've got time and I'm a smart girl. I'm sure I will understand." I answered shortly.
He chuckled. "Very well. Agent Jackson and I, along with others, are a secret spy organisation, tracking down a criminal mastermind, named Kronos. He is highly dangerous and will kill without a second thought. And you my dear.. could very well be our secret weapon! That is, if you are up for it.. This job pays great, if you're worried about that.. So, what do you say? Will you work with us?"
I thought about it for a while but came to a conclusion that it has mostly good outcomes.
"I agree. Under one condition." I said firmly.
Mr Brunner raised an eyebrow sceptically.
"And that is?" he questioned.
"That my family will be safe at all times. That this job will not endanger any of them. Is that understandable and agreeable?"
Without a blink of an eye, he agreed to my conditions.
Percy might still be mad, but I could fix that later. I grinned knowing that I just landed myself the best afterschool job there is!
Hope this longer chapter made up for the long wait! Please review!
Stay tuned for more!
Peace out!
