Back in front of Percy's apartment building, Sam decided it was time to move location. He crossed the road and stood right in front of the building and then ducked behind a large, colourful cart selling flowers.
Maybe Percy was watching him from the windows, if he hid, Percy might come out to go get Annabeth.
All of this felt wrong to Sam. He knew that the kids weren't normal, but they didn't seem like monsters either. They seemed smart and cool. They'd make good hunters, but that would only ruin their lives and not really help anything.
Something else bugged him. They way that they acted, it seemed familiar… Like he had seen it before. He couldn't figure it out.
About five minutes after Sam had moved, Percy burst through the door, still putting on a blue jacket, and set off, feet pounding against the sidewalk as he ran down the street.
A smile crept up to Sam's face. Maybe this kid wasn't as smart as he seemed. Or perhaps he was just desperate to get to Annabeth. They seemed really close.
Sam watched Percy artfully and skillfully maneuvered around scary looking businessmen and old ladies walking their cats. He even managed not to get knocked over by a couple teens on skateboards. Nobody gave him a second glance.
Now it was Sam who was struggling to not be noticeable. If he was going to stay in sight of Percy, it would be obvious he was following him and people don't usually like having a 6'4 man following them anywhere, especially in the darkening streets of New York.
The cell phone in his pocket beeped loudly. Sam stopped running and took it out. A man bumped into him, nearly knocking the cell out of his hands.
Dean had texted him an address.
Sam looked up and realized he had lost Percy. He swore softly to himself and then started jogging towards the address Dean had sent him, maybe that's where Percy was going.
They could take care of Annabeth together and then worry about Percy later.
Sorry this is so short! But I just realized how unrealistic this is because nobody is brutally murdered or ripped to shreds…. (Spoiler ;) ) Should I add a scene like that to make it more real? I could easily slip it in somewhere in the next chapter but I'm not sure how well I can write a brutal murder :P
You guys can decide! It's up to you!
