-Alex's POV-
"ALEX RUN!" Justin screamed at my direction so I did. I run. I know something is following me. I know that it wants me dead so I run, not looking back. My head starts to spin as I felt something hit me. I sat down on a trunk hoping that I'll be safe, even for a while. My vision starts to blur. Maybe this is the end of me. But it shouldn't. I know it shouldn't. I just can't leave my family and friends. I just can't leave Max with Justin. I just can't leave Harper. I just can't leave the world.
Someone grab me gently. Holding me tightly and wrapping me with his arms. I can't see the person but I know who he is.
"Percy." I woke up and saw his eyes looking at me. His face is inched away from mine. I smiled at him and tried to brush off the stupid dream and try to remember all of the beautiful things that happened yesterday particularly the kiss last night.
"Percy?" He said and smiled. "You dreamed about me didn't you?"
"No. I didn't." I lied and look away. Has he been watching me sleeping?
"You're such a liar." He replied. I still can feel his gaze on me and I smiled looking at the ceiling.
"Am I a pretty liar?" I asked teasingly and turn my gaze back to him.
"A gorgeous one." He replied and touched my cheeks.
I look at his eyes. God, I will never get tired looking at those amazing blue eyes.
"So, what did you dreamed about me?" He asked.
"That you are a badass vampire like Damon Salvatore and you look so hot with those fangs." I smiled and bit my lips. I actually didn't know if the person holding me is him, so I lied, plus I never told anyone about the same dream I'm having since God knows when. I felt uncomfortable talking to it to someone, even to Harper, and something telling me not to.
"So, you're going to watch a movie with us right?" I said trying to change the subject. I look again at the ceiling hoping that he'll get a hint that I don't want to talk about the dream.
I heard him sigh. "Yeah, as long as it's not a chick flick." He replied and I smiled.
I turn my gaze back at him and brushed my lips to his. He deepened the kiss and pulls me towards him. As our lips move, the only thing that matters is this moment. This perfect moment and this perfect man I'm kissing. I never felt this to anyone I had been with. Not with Dean and certainly not with that dog with an anger issue.
I only knew Percy for less than a day but I felt that I really know him so well, like I've been with him a million times now.
Our perfect intimacy had been ruined because of the banging of pan downstairs. I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Sorry, but we need to go downstairs." I told Percy and stand up. Justin and Max will not stop making such noises until we get out of the room. Shit. I hope Harper is still not here because if she is, she wants each detail of what happened and the reason why I'm with Percy in the same room.
He followed me but stopped me when we heard a loud noise coming from downstairs, like something had crash or ..
BOOOOM!
We heard it again. Percy held me tightly and immediately closed the door. He looks nervous like afraid or scared or something.
"Shit." I heard him whispered as he continues to look at the floor then back at the window.
I look at him confused. He looks like he's expecting something bad about to happen, when probably Max is just casting a spell. Shit. Max is casting a spell. Something bad is really about to happen.
"Percy. Hey. It's alright. Everything's alright." I said to him slowly. He looks at my eyes and hugged me tightly.
"I'm sorry." He said nervously.
Now that is really weird. He's sorry? About what? About the world, punishing me by giving me two idiot brothers? That's for sure, something to sorry about.
I look at his eyes and tried to calm him down. He looks guilty and afraid.
"Percy, nothing bad is going to happen." I told him and touched his cheeks.
"That ka-Boom thing is just something I got used to everyday. Justin and Max are just playing around."I continued and look at his eyes, hoping that he'll trust me with this.
"Playing around? Alex, that crash is not something a normal teenager got used to everyday." He said like I just said the stupidest thing ever.
You see Percy, I'm not a normal teenager. I silently replied. Plus if you have two brothers like Justin and Max you'll just probably deal with their craziness and stopped complaining.
"That crash is not something created by two guys who are just playing around." He continued. I look at him dumbly founded. He's sweating? Why is he panicking? He looks scared and guilty at the same time.
"Alex, there's something out there that wants you –"He stopped himself and look away.
"That wants me dead?" I muttered.
That wants me dead.
The whole world starts spinning around me. Something wants me dead. Maybe it's the monster I've been dreaming. I feel dizzy and I think that I'm going to collapse. My vision starts to blur and I immediately felt a hand as soon as I hit the ground. Why would Percy say something like that? Did he know something? Anything? Because I have felt a lot of strange things lately that I cannot put a finger on. I know that someone had been watching me all along. I can feel lots of eyes around me until now. I asked my Dad about it once but he said that it's probably just my imagination. I remember the time when I was 5 when I said to Justin that there's someone hiding in my closet, watching me but he just laughed at me and teased me. I know the moment when I walk out the door yesterday everything is going to change yet something is telling me to accept it because it's my destiny. But I can feel that my destiny is not what I'm expecting it to be. I can feel that I'm not what I think I am. I know something bad is about to happen to me if I accept what the world has planned to me, but I can't do anything about it, so I let myself knock out into unconsciousness and welcome the dream I've been escaping.
"ALEX RUN!" Justin screamed at my direction so I did. I run. I know something is following me. I know that it wants me dead so I run, not looking back. My head starts to spin as I felt something hit me. I sat down on a trunk hoping that I'll be safe, even for a while. My vision starts to blur. Maybe this is the end of me. But it shouldn't. I know it shouldn't. I just can't leave my family and friends. I just can't leave Max with Justin. I just can't leave Harper. I just can't leave the world.
Someone grab me gently. Holding me tightly and wrapping me with his arms. I can't see the person but I know who he is. "Percy" I felt my lips forming his name. I forced my eyes to open but no one is there. I closed my eyes again, and tried to catch my breath. I hope Justin is fine, and he's not hurt. I wouldn't forgive myself if anything bad happens to my brother, who only tried to save me from that monster. I tried to listen on my surrounding hoping that no one is following me but I'm pretty sure someone is watching me. I'm too tired to open my eyes so I try to listen to those people who are watching me.
"No. You couldn't help her yet. We still didn't have what we need. We must make sure that, it was Medusa who's trying to kill her." A male said.
Medusa? Why is the name familiar to me?
"But we have to help her. Look at her; she looks like a death girl already." A girl replied.
Annabeth? What is Annabeth doing right here?
"NO, we still have to wait." The male replied.
"Shhh.. I think she can hear you." someone said, a guy said.
They stopped talking. I can feel their eyes watching me. So I tried to act as a death girl, like the girl with the same voice like Annabeth said a while go. I wish that girl is not Annabeth. Because if she is, there's a 90% that Percy is with them and I can't accept the fact that he didn't do anything to help me. I can't live knowing that the guy I'm In love with, introduced me and sentenced me to death.
Suddenly I felt strong wind brushed into my skin. I heard gasp from the people who just stood there watching me to die. I open my eyes and suddenly wish I didn't. There standing 5 feet away from me is a woman with a snake hair and I exactly knew who she is.
Medusa
