Anything For You

Chapter 18

Middle of Nowhere

Percy slightly opened his eyes to see Eve a little ways from him a gun was against her back as she watched him sleep. When he sat up the gun was dug in harder to her back causing her to gasp.

"Stop." Eve yelled trying to get away from the uncomfortable tool.

"If you do not stop…I'll shoot your father first." The man said and watched one of his friends push a gun to Percy's back. Eve looked up into Percy's angry eyes. Eve looked down and at her feet which were now covered in sand.

Percy gasped when he was grabbed by the arms and thrown into the water. "You see that island over there…that's your new home." The man laughed and threw Eve in next.

"You heartless…" Percy gasped as he pulled Eve toward him when the man fired off a few rounds into the water.

"If I were you…I'd swim for it kids. There be sharks in these waters." He laughed and turned the boat around.

"Eve you should have ran!" Percy yelled. Eve swallowed hard as she began to swim toward the island.

"They were drowning you." Eve said and gasped when a wave grabbed her and shoved her toward land. When she got onto solid ground she walked up onto the dune and waited for Percy to get carried in. His took more effort he fought the waves to much. But finally Percy angrily walked up onto the land and glared at the large vast island.

"Percy?"

"Stop calling me that…why don't you call me dad anymore. What did I do that was so bad for you to stop calling me that?" He pulled down some leaves and began to make a small nest.

"I…I donno…I just…didn't think you." She swallowed hard and looked at the water and hugged her knees. "I'm sorry." She said in a low voice. Percy had never yelled at her like this before. He was really really mad. Maybe he had a headache. Maybe if she were to help him he would feel better. When she helped her mom out when she was younger she seemed to smile a lot. Eve stood up and started to pull down leaves too.

"What are you doing?" Percy barked and glared at the young girl who stood there with her hands behind her back as if he had slapped her.

"Helping." She said in an unusually childlike voice.

"Haven't you done enough of that today?" That was it. Her heart and mind couldn't take it anymore. When Percy looked at her face in that moment he could see a battle of emotions. At first she tried to keep a straight face, then perhaps a smile would help…maybe he was kidding. She turned back to grab another leaf but the battle was lost and she just backed up and sat down on the ground. Her cries shook Percy to his very soul. He was mad yes it was true. He wasn't mad at her, it was the situation. He had got her caught up in this too. They were alone on some deserted island in the middle of the ocean. They were both going to die soon and that would be his fault.

"Eve…Eve please." He said reaching over to pull the young girl to him. She slapped his hand away and she stood up walking a few feet before she sat down on her butt again. She had never done such a thing before. The sobs were full force now as if she had been holding these tears back for some time now. Perhaps the last month coming back to her. Maybe the situation itself, and…his words.

"Eve?" His voice sounded weird and there was a lump in his throat. "Come here please." Percy reached out for her. She pulled her close she thrashed around trying to keep him at bay but Percy held firm he didn't want her sobbing so uncontrollably. But when Eve heard Percys sobs she stopped thrashing and hugged him tightly to her.

Eve looked out over the ocean as Percy finished there temporary home. The sky was washed in oranges, reds, and purples.

"Eve…come lay down with me. Its going to get cold tonight." Eve didn't answer. He felt that lump in his throat again. They had both been wiping tears for the past few hours.

He walked forward and picked her up. Rather then pushing away she leaned into him and put her arms around his neck. Perhaps she was just to tired to move. He lay her down and she curled in tightly. She was even shivering even though the sands were still warming them.

"I love you Eve…okay?" He lay down next to hear and pulled her close. He made separate beds but he felt they both needed each other close.

"I'm sorry Percy." Which was all she had been saying since the crying started.

Soon enough both were sleeping.

A little on into the night however Percy woke with a start to find Eve pushing away from him again.

"Eve?" He swallowed that bought of tension again. Eve pushed again.

"I have to pee." She informed him. Percy lightly let go of her and sat up watching her run down the beach and into the woods where they designated it to be the bathroom area. Moments later Percy heard Eve scream. Percy ran forward which was a whole lot more work because running on sand that hadn't been touched by humans for a while was hard because you sink a bit. He finally picked up Eve who pointed to the area which had what looked like a pig sitting there. "A bore." Percy whispered and backed away. "Stay away from them they can stab you with those tusks." Percy said and walked Eve back over to the bed and looked around as Eve looked out over the ocean.

"Are you alright did it hurt you?" Percy asked and took Eves hand.

"Suddenly I'm glad I got this shirt…or I would be running around in a bathing suit." She said and Percy smiled at the little joke. "Still gotta pee though." She said. Percy blinked and nodded.

"Alright then…here lets go that way behind those rocks." He said and took Eves hand and began to walk toward the rocks.

Eve walked back toward Percy after she was finished only to remain motionless and pointed to the bore that was now using there beds…as a bed.

"Well that's just…rude." Percy said picking up Eve who was yawning again and put her head down on Percy's shoulder.

" 'm Sorry." She said and closed her eyes. Percy found another place to lay them down and fell back asleep
