PERCY POV
The rest of the day went uneventful. There was no monster attacks. No god throwing me a quest. No annoying half-siblings getting in troubles..
Which just left me more time to think about the events that had come to pass, and it was not a pretty stuff to daydream about. I lay on my bed, staring at the delicate, majestic ceiling of the Cullen's house. When I was doing this 'Space-out' thingie, An- She used to shake me from my thoughts. But not now. Not forever. I was so deep in my thoughts, I didn't notice a hand shaking maniacally in front of my face. A voice screamed in my ears.
"-cy, PERCY!"
"Wha-?"
I almost fell off the bed. Thalia smirked.
"Hello, earth to Percy."
"I got that. What's up?"
"Um.."
She shifted her foot for a moment, before looking at me uneasily.
"Artemis wants me to return to the hunt. She has a monster pack to hunt down, and apparently... it's difficult."
"Oh, okay.."
I suddenly felt blank, like there was a hole in my chest.
"Then I'm alone in here. Sure, fine. Not like it wasn't okay before."
"Percy, I don't wanna do this. But I have to follow the ord-"
"I understand."
I waved my hands dismissively.
"Just.. visit again when you have time, okay?"
"Okay."
Thalia smiled at me, and marched towards the door. She gave me a small wave, before shutting the door firmly behind her. Sighing yet again, I put my arms over my eyes, blocking out the light. Suddenly, I didn't want tomorrow to come. And I had a feeling that this would not be the first time to think this way.
"I ought to disagree."
I said, my voice sounding bored.
"I am not going to school. I got over it a long time ago."
"But you can't hang out in house forever."
Bella insisted, her ember eyes fixed on mine.
"You have to learn. I looked at your papers, and you didn't even finish high school. It says you blew up Goode high."
"I'm still not going. I came here to rest and have a supposedly good time. Not to go to school again."
I stood to leave, but took a last look at Bella again.
"...I'll think about it, okay?"
Bella nodded. I walked out of the living room. Nobody called me back.
JACOB POV
Nessie left La Push, waving her hands. I waved back. Somehow, she always seemed to lighten up the moods of the pack by her smiles and cheery moods. As she went out of my sight, I started walking towards Emily's house. I couldn't stop my thoughts from reaching towards the couple of teens in the beach. There was always teens on the beach, but they were different. One of them had smelt like ozone, while the other smelt like the sea. Humans definitely weren't supposed to smell that way. As I reached the conclusion, I stopped abruptly and changed my course to the forest. I needed to inform the pack about this. When I neared the opening that let in to the mass of the trees, I inhaled the scent of the woods, water, grass, and winds. I thought of tearing the meat from a deer. Thrill of the hunt. Running across a field. Before I knew it, I was on my fours. I lunged through the woods, tearing across the trees in a speed that would appear the the humans as a blur. 'Sam!' I called out with my mind. The reply came quickly. 'Jacob. What is it?' Jumping to avoid a small pool of muddy water, I quickly filed him in with the information of the two teens. I could feel Sam feeling curious. 'That's definitely a news. However, we have a major one to attend.' I hummed softly. 'And what would be that?' This time, I could feel Sam upset. 'There is a large decrease in the amount of the animals in the southern part of this forest. I would like you and the pack to attend to it.' I almost crashed into a stump in shock, but quickly regained my composure. 'Sure, Alpha.'
Sooo, what did you think? I do think it's too short. Too short for a person who took a month of break. Sorry, guys, really sorry. I'll try to update fast.
