OMG YOU GUYS! OVER 80 REVIEWS!? THANK YOU SO MUCH! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! Well, read on!
~Percy~
We plunged down to the ground, or so I thought. Huh, we were only on the second story. I could have sworn we were higher! Anyway, luckily for us, outside the room and under the window was a large dumpster. We landed softly on a discarded matress.
Well, that's ironic. I thought. I mean, what are the odds that a matress would be right under us to break our fall?
"Jackson!" I looked behind me. Gabe and his buddies were just comming out of the hospital lobby, looking around in every direction. I hid behind the dumpster, and watched as they ran past. I let out a sigh of relief and started walking the other direction.
I felt Annabeth, who was still riding on my back, start to stir. I rubbed her hand to comfort her.
"Shh, it's ok. We are safe." She relaxed.
Where do we go now? I thought. It was obvious that we would have to leave town, but how far could we get? I slipped into a dark alley and sat Annabeth down on the ground.
"Annie? You ok? Wake up Annie." She groaned, then sat up.
"Don't call me Annie." She said. I smiled, and pulled her into a hug.
"Oh Annabeth! I thought I had lost you!"
"It's ok, Percy. What happened to you? You look awful!"
"What happened to you!" She sighed.
"The doctor-"
"Works for Gabe." I finished. She looked at me curiously.
"How do you know?"
"The doctor led me to a room with a police, and the police tricked me into telling him our life story. Then, Gabe appeared out of know where and used that against me." She pulled me closer to her.
"Oh, Percy. That's horrible!" I laughed.
"Look who"s talking. Your the one who they put to sleep then beat up."
"How did you know that?"
"It's not exactly rocket science." She shoved me playfully.
"Ok. Well, we need to get washed up." She said.
"Where?" She thought for a minute, then stood up. Well, at least her ankle was fixed.
"Follow me." She left the alley.
She led me to a small white house.
"Where are we?" I asked. She walked up the steps and knocked on the door three times.
"Thalia's." She answered. The door opened.
"Annabeth!" Thalia cried out, grabbing her friend and pulling her into a hug.
"What happened! Jason called, and he said you were in the hospital! If Gabe put you there I swear-"
"Thalia! It's ok. Do you mind if we wash up? It's kind of urgent." Annabeth interupted.
"Oh sure. Come on in. Mom and Dad aren't home, so it's just us. Hey Perce!"
"Hey, Thals." I said, walking into the house.
"The bathroom in right down that hall, first door on the left." She said.
"Go ahead. You need it more than I do." I told Annabeth. She nodded, then walked away.
~Annabeth~
When I came out of the bathroom, I looked completely different. Thalia had let me borrow some of her moms makeup to cover up my bruises, and she also gave me a pair of her cloths. Suprisingly, she had something that wasn't black!
It was a light yellow top with riffles down the side. I also had on black jeggings with black flats. It was so cute!
"Thank you so much!" I said, as I brushed my hair.
"No problem. So, where are you to heading? Your not going back to your house, right?" I laughed.
"If I did, I would be crazy. No, we are going somewhere far, far away." Thalia looked at the ground.
"How far?" She asked. I frowned.
"I-I don't know. Far." Thalia didn't reply.
"Hey, I have my phone. When we find a place, I'll message you. We can still get together, just as long as we don't meet around here." She smiled.
"Well, at least we won't lose eachother."
"Yeah." Percy joined us. Thalia had given him some of her dad's cloths, a plain white shirt and jeans. He had on black Converse shoes.
"Well, we better get going." I hugged Thalia. "Thank you. Thank you so, so much!" We started to walk towards the door, when Thalia stopped us.
"Wait. Hold on." She ran off.
"What is she doing?" I asked Percy.
"No clue." Percy said. In five minutes, she returned, carrying two medium sized bags.
"I figured if your just running of, you would need some stuff." She said, handing each of us a bag.
"Oh, Thals, you don't have to do this." I told her.
"No, I don't. I want to, though. Look inside." I opened my bag. Inside, I found a black jacket, a blanket, a box of dry fruit, an apple, and twenty dollars.
Percy looked in his. It held a brush, some sandwhiches, four watter bottles, another black jacket, some bus tokens, and twenty dollars.
"Thalia! You don't really have to do this. Really, it's ok." Percy said. Thalia smiled and handed us our bags again.
"No, take them. And remember, I want a full update on where you love birds are heading." She smiled.
"Thank you." We smiled, and left the house.
~Percy~
I had no clue where we were going. We just agreed to get as far away as possible.
"So, should we walk? Take a bus?" I asked.
"Bus. Maybe if we fall asleep, we will get farther." I laughed.
"Agreed." We walked, hand in hand, to the bus stop. Standing there, were Leo and Nico.
"Oh my god! Your ok!" The tackled us to the ground.
"Yes, now what are you two doing here?" I asked.
"You know, hanging out. What are you doing?" Leo asked.
"Taking the bus." Annabeth said.
"Where?" The bus pulled up beside the curb.
"Ask Thalia. She will tell you everything." We ran onto the bus.
We found to seats in the back of the bus.
"You get some sleep. You need it the most." Annabeth told me. I didn't argue, I was exhausted. I rest my head on her shoulder, and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Hey guys! Well, this was one of those chapters that don't really have a point, but I hope you liked it! They are going to freedom! Yayy! Anyway, I'll update soon! Sorry it was short!
