Okay this is my second update in one day, and I am trying to catch up. *Dodges knives* SORRY!
QOTC: Has Luke ever thought of Annabeth a more than a sister? If so, what book?
Blast those British buggers! Off with their heads! (Going through a Brit phase)
Onto the great chapter of Oz!
Percy's POV
Jason was given the Ninja star, so it was his turn and he got to pick the topic.
"We all act like teenage girls," Jason began, "And I'm always under the influence of Piper, so the topic is girls. Say the name of the girl who you like, and your status." My face paled. Nico groaned. "I am the boyfriend of Piper and we are in a normal status." Jason finished and passed the star to Connor Stoll.
"I like just about any girl and they hate me." Connor shrugged and threw the star at Travis.
"I like… uh… Katie and she hates me." Travis stuttered and gave the star to Nico.
Nico hesitated. "I like no one and no one likes me." He muttered. Luke didn't accept the star when Nico held it out to him. We all demanded in unison to tell us who he liked. Connor swore he was going to play pranks on him, and such. "THALIA! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!" Nico bellowed and left the room. I told the guys I was going to go after him.
I swiftly followed the ghostly kid and when I rounded the corner of marble pedestal, he was gone. I scanned the surroundings of the bright white corner, to find him in the shadows, staring intently at something on his arm. I crouched down by Nico and gazed upon his arm. He was cutting himself. I quickly grabbed the razor blade from his grasp and threw it across the room, missing Jason's cat by a hair.
"What's up?" I asked Nico after a couple of silent minutes.
"Jason probably is disgusted in me." Nico shuddered. The poor kid might start crying.
"He's not. He understands." I told him earnestly and patted him on the back.
"Can I be alone for a while?" Nico asked, face hidden.
"Sure, just give me all of your sharp objects." Nico dug in his pockets and dropped 3 pocket knives, a bag of razor blades, 6 nails, 4 screws, and a huge knife from his boot, all into my hands. "Damn…" I said, wide eyed.
"Go." Nico said and I got up and went to Jason's room.
I entered the blue room, where all of the guys sat on the floor. I sat down and it was Luke's turn.
"Okay… uh…" Luke said uncertainly. "I kind of like… Rachel. And I don't know about her." He gave the star to me.
"I like Annabeth and I don't know if she likes me. We have been best friends ever since I moved in." I passed the star to Frank.
"I think everyone knows I like Hazel…" Frank passed the star to Leo.
"Ditto with Connor." Leo smirked. He handed the star to Beckendorf.
Beckendorf stalled, looking at the star. "I like Selina and I don't think she likes me." He finished and gave the star back to Jason.
Jason was about to talk, but Connor interrupted him. "Since were doing girl stuff, are we going to watch chick flicks?"
"YEAH!" Leo hollered.
"I don't have any chick flicks…" Jason muttered.
"Percy will go get some from Piper." Luke smirked.
"What?!" I said, exasperated.
"Go get them Percy. It's not going to kill you!" Travis yelled.
After 3 minutes of arguing, they managed to shove me out the door, despite the fights I put up. I grumbled a few swear words and stomped my way to Piper's house. I gagged at the scent of perfume and flowers, holding my breath as I knocked the door. Bianca opened the door.
"Uh… hi?" Bianca said uncertainly.
"Jason wants to watch chick flicks with the guys and they sent me over to get some." I explained.
"Oh… come in?" Bianca said.
I looked around the house, ion the left was the kitchen and on the right was the living room. In the kitchen, Annabeth had her shirt up, Katie doing something to her abdomen. It looked… red. Annabeth winced. She looked up and spotted me.
"Hey Percy! Wait… why are you over here?"
I gave Annabeth a sheepish grin. "Jason wanted to watch chick flicks so they made me go get them from Piper."
"Gods, trust me, get something better from Redbox." Annabeth winced once more as Katie worked on her gut.
I made my way to her, and her abdomen was bleeding. I gave her a questioning look. "Pillow fight. Bianca accidentally used a lamp." Annabeth flinched once more.
"Percy! I got the movies!" Bianca said from the living room.
"Run!" Annabeth joked and pushed me.
Bianca came over to where I was stationed and gave me the movies.
"Don't worry, I put some awesome movies in the case that aren't chick flicks."
"Wow. Thanks." I said, grabbing them. I put them in a plastic grocery bag and left the pink house, smelling like flowers. I crossed the road to Jason's house and walked in.
Sorry, this chapter was only about 900 words. I might not update right way next time, but I'll try. I never have the blasting time anymore. I just gave away the spoiler for the people who are reading this new, not before the rewrite. Yes, Hades di Angelo is a killer and I'll explain more later. Thanks for reading!
