Miss Peregrine's Home for Demigod Children

by MiaMayaMoe

Nico, Leo, Percy, and Annabeth find themselves on Cairnholm Island and they don't know how to get off. When the word gets around that there are demi-gods on the island the wights may think that they are the key to their immortality. Hopefully, with the Help of Miss Peregrine, they could get off the island. In the end, they must choose to stay with them or go back home.

Annabeth paced the halls washing over nervousness and tension throughout the house. Leo and I hovered around the living room, helping out with any cleaning the kids would give us. It was hard to focus on the tasks at hand when Annabeth was checking every window, imprinting finger prints on the freshly clean glass I just wiped. Out of sheer frustration, I walked over to Annabeth placing my hand gently on her shoulder to get her attention, "Hey, maybe you could help the girls put away the dishes, you know, keep your mind off it."

Annabeth turned her head in a sharp motion, "Keep my mind off "it"? Tell me, Nico, why should I do that?" Her voice escalated with every word, "How can I sit around and put away dishes when Percy is out there! Maybe hurt or worse." Voice cracking she shoved her hands up in her face, trying to push her anger down.

"Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I was just, I was just thinking-"

"What? What were you thinking? Did you think we could just push off what we just did? We left him, Nico!"

"Annabeth," Everyone was looking at us now, "calm down we need to think straight right now. Mrs.P and Jacob are out there right now looking for him." I reassured her

"That's my point! We should be the ones out there, not them. Because you know what? I actually care about Percy unlike you! And, don't tell me to think straight when you aren't!" Her face paled to a sheet of white. "Oh my gods, I'm so sorry. I didn't-" She started to cry, "I didn't mean it."

I wrapped her in a hug and even went down with her when her legs buckled. "I know." Her tears soaked through my shirt, leaving it a darker black, "I know."

And at that moment the doors opened, breaking the rhythm of her breathing. We both looked up. And right in front of us was a boy, a boy with a bright orange camp shirt, a boy with jet black hair and sea green eyes, a boy with a grin so stupid I wanted to smack it clean off his face. He looked straight at me with a smile, and I returned the kind gesture.

OKKKKAY! I know I said I wasn't going to continue this story but... I've changed my mind. This Chapter is short because this will be the last time I will post a new chapter, on here. However, this is not the end of the story because I've decided I will do a rewrite of this and improve it more. I noticed that I kept going in and out of the third person (I hated that. It was due to the fact that I wrote the chapters in long periods of time.), and there were some chapters in here I really didn't like over all. So, I'm starting clean. The next post on here will be to notify anyone who wishes to read the improved version that it is available. Till next time!
