Chapter 12
Nico POV
When I got a text from Perce saying that the Seven except for Annabeth were here in Beacon Hills and to come to his location as soon as possible I was excited to see our friends again. I texted back that I would be there right after class ends. The wait of 5 minutes were torture, before I moved to the boy's restroom and flame traveled out of the school once it was empty.
As soon as I appeared in a burst of flames, I was getting hugged by everyone in a rapid-fire pace. As I separated from them and stood by Percy, Piper pointed something out "Nico who gave you those hickies on your neck, and why are you limping?"
I blushed as Percy answered her question by pulling me into a deep kiss as one of his hands grabbed my ass in front of the others. He pulled away smiling at my whimper of the kiss being ended quickly and replied "does that answer your question?"
At this everyone was shocked except for Leo who yelled "I totally called it, now pay up Jason!" Jason grumbled and tossed him a bag of drachmas. Hazel strode up to Percy with a serious expression on her face and pulled him away from everyone else probably to question him and threaten him about hurting me. Piper then asked me "so who is dom/sub?"
I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know, I guess we switch as time goes on. At first I was dom, but the last 2 months Percy has been the dom. I guess you could say that we are versatile." At this time Hazel and Percy walked back to our group with Percy smiling and Hazel blushing. Crap, he must have told Hazel what we have done.
Percy brought me out of my thoughts holding his phone out and asking "hey Nico you don't mind if I showed them what happened this morning right?" I gave Percy a hard glare. He just smiled at me and responded "okay, I won't." I looked over at him and saw Leo snatch his phone and scroll through the phone grinning evilly at me.
"LEO!" All heads turn to me as I had black flames rolling off me slowly, taking out my silver bow aiming at his groin area "if you value your privates, you will put the phone down, and never speak of what you just saw or else." Leo fainted on the spot.
Needless to say despite some strange looks I got, the topic was dropped quickly. We started talking about how we were going to fool everyone else into thinking we weren't here. I knew that originally, Percy never said anything to anyone besides our Patron about us coming here. So the seven others decided that they would steer the others clear of this town as best as they can. Jason then got a text from Annabeth about a new lead, so they had to go find out what it is. We all waved good-bye to each other before they flashed out to where we were each supposed to go. Nico and I flashed back home, the others to Camp Half-blood.
The Next Morning 10/31 (Percy POV)
I grabbed my towel and headed to the bathroom. I took a quick, warm, hot shower. Wrapping the towel around my waist, I brushed my teeth and headed back to my room. I quickly changed into a pair of boxers, jeans, a green shirt, a black hoodie, and black converse. Grabbing all my stuff for school, I stopped when I saw a gift box on my computer desk. Furrowing my eyebrows in confusion, I carefully walked to the box. Opening it, I smiled what I saw in the inside. Grabbing a note that inside it, I rolled my eyes when I saw Aphrodite written in red lipstick. Nico was going to school with Allison early while I grabbed the box and walked over to Scott's house.
"Look who finally showed" Scott told me, shoving a spoonful of cereal in his mouth.
"Morning to you too" I told him, grabbing an apple.
"Where were you? You freaking left school and texted Stiles and I to cover for you." Scott told me.
"Well, I was getting these" I told him, sliding the gift box towards them.
"You left school? For this?" he asked me in doubt.
"Well, I've got a call that if I don't fetch them right now, they won't be available until next week." I shrugged, like it was nothing. "Now look inside" I told him, giving him a Cheshire smile.
He rolled his eyes at me but did what I said. My smile grew bigger as I saw the color drain from his face. "I warned you two. I can't be pranked, Scotty boy."
"I hate you so, so, so, so much for this!" Stiles raged at me.
"A deal is a deal, boys" I told Scott and Stiles, patting their backs.
The entire student body was either laughing or taking pictures of Scott and Stiles. They were both wearing a spiky dog collar that had a tag saying 'Property of Percy Jackson' in bold letters and hearts all over it. They both had grumpy and defeated looks on their faces, making me laugh even harder as I had my arms around their shoulders as we walked to class.
We walked to our first class in the morning, sitting in our original seats. Stiles sulked dramatically in his desk. Allison walked in and once she saw Scott and Stiles, she busted into fits of laughter and took a picture of us. She kissed his cheek, causing him to smile. Allison shook her head at me as I just gave her an innocent smile. Today is going to be a good day. I can feel it.
School was over for today and for the first time, it was actually a good day in school. Scott is getting a bit better with his werewolf control. Stiles is his usual self. And I was entertained the whole day with Scott and Stiles. Nothing could've ruined my day.
Which brings me to why I'm standing in front of a house that isn't mine across the country. Hestia has sent me a solo mission at Atlanta, Georgia late at night. My black armor is already out. I closed my eyes when I heard the familiar city life. Don't take me wrong, I love Beacon Hills but I was raised in the city. I miss the non-stop honking from cars, the hot dog stands, and the city that never sleeps. Hestia then provided me all her information and even a picture.
Name: Chloe Rose Landry
Age: 6
Date of Birth: February 21, 2008
Eye color: Sapphire blue
Hair color: Black
Godly Parent: Aphrodite, Goddess of Love
Abilities: Enhanced Beauty, Charmspeak, and Empathy
I was impressed when I saw empathy as one of the kid's powers. Empathy are extremely rare for children of Aphrodite. Even more rare than being a charm speaker. This kid can make anyone feel whatever they want to feel but the downside is that she can feel their emotion. Anger, sadness, happiness, depression, excitement, you name it. She could sense it in people with one glance. Really powerful.
I straighten up when I heard a loud 'Crash' in Chloe's room. Alarms rang in my head, an uneasy feeling settling in my gut. When I heard shouting, I took action. I flamed travel to the door, knocking on the door roughly. At the other side of the door, I heard a man voice hissing lowly at somebody. "Shut up! Shut up!" The man said in a harsh quiet tone followed by a slap that echoed through the door
They only response was whimpering. My eyes burst into flames, my mask hiding my face as I pounded on the door.
"Who is it?" someone shouted gruffly through the door.
"Pizza delivery!" I rolled my eyes.
"I didn't order any pizza! You've got the wrong door!"
"No, I never make a mistake."
"I said you've got the wrong door! Now leave or I'll make you!" He threaten me.
"Make me? I want to see you try. Plan B it is then." I said.
With that, I punched my right fist through wooden door, unlocking it on the other side. Taking my hand out, I quickly opened the door and walked inside. There was a man, standing a few feet in front of me, gaping at me in shock. He has curly brown hair, blue eyes, pale skin, 6'0, and a bit athletic. He looks like he's in his late 20's. "What the hell?" He shouted at me.
"Where's Chloe Landry?" I asked him in impatience, disgusted to be in his presence.
This entire room reeked of beer and cigars that it was making me sick. His pupils are dilated, meaning he is on some drugs right now. He is wearing a white shirt with stains on it, and some jeans. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Breaking into my house!" He raged at me.
"Where's your daughter?" I asked him again, my patience slipping away fast.
"I ain't going to tell you shit! In fact, I am going to call the cops," he told me, whipping his cellphone out from his pocket.
Before he could even had the chance to press 9 I had grabbed his wrist in a vice grip, stopping him. He gave out a painful gasp when I tighten my grip, hearing some bones pop. I made him look into my blue flaming eyes as black flames raced up my body raising the temperature around us.
"I am not going to ask again. Where. Is. Chloe. Landry?" I told him through clenched teeth, gripping tighter on his wrist causing him to fall onto his knees.
"Ok, ok, ok, ok! I'll tell you what you want! J-just let me go! Please!" he begged at me painfully. "She's-she's in her room! Stop! Please, stop!"
Looking down angrily at him, I finally released my grip on him. He fell to the ground, cradling his wrist to his chest. He quickly crawled away from me, looking at me a bit fearful. I tilted my head to the side. "Now was that so hard?" I asked him in a baby voice.
I turned my back on him, heading to the bedroom. I assumed he was just going to stay there or even run away. Just a second, my back was turned to him, something slammed hard on my back, breaking into pieces. Standing still like a statue, I turned around, angry. He was holding the legs of a now broken chair, the remains littering the floor. He stared at me in shock, dropping the wooden chair legs to the ground.
"That wasn't very nice, I spare you and then you attack me." I seethed at him.
Before he could even blink, I gave him a harsh flying roundhouse kick to the face. His head snapped to the side before crumbling to the ground, knocked out. Clenching and unclenching my fists, I slowly made my way towards the bedroom. Opening the door slowly, I heard soft crying coming from the corner. Right when my foot touched the inside of the room, a wave of immense sadness hit me. I felt a heavy feeling settle in my heart and I felt like I was choking on my own air. I quickly shook my head, closing my eyes, telling myself that this is Chloe's doing, making me feel what she was feeling. I opened my eyes and I slowly made my way where the crying was coming from.
There was the same little girl from the picture. Same black hair. Same Sapphire eyes. Same facial features. My eyes soften when I noticed the little girl is skinny, her skin a bit dirty. She is wearing a dirty pink and white dress that is fading. She cowered when she saw me, holding a stuffed giraffe tightly in her little hands.
"Hey, hey. I'm not going to hurt you," I told her softly, sitting on the floor.
She didn't say anything, looking at me a bit fearfully.
"I'm the good guy," I told her nicely. "Your dad is never going to hurt you again, Chloe. I promise."
"You promise?" She finally asked me, talking so softly that if I didn't have super hearing, I wouldn't have heard her.
"I promise. Cross my heart," I told her, making an X over my heart.
"Who are you?" She asked me, a bit louder. She was opening up now, making me smile.
"Well, let's just say I am a friend of your mom."
"My mommy?" She asked me with wide eyes, giving me this innocent look that will make anybody go Awwwww. "Is she alive?"
"Yes, she is. And she told me to tell you that she loves you very much and that she is very sorry to leave you."
"Why did mommy leave me?" She asked me, her eyes watering a bit and her bottom lip started to quiver.
"Because she is a very special lady. Very unique. She loved you so much she had to leave for your own good."
"But why?"
I slowly then made me armor go away, making it turn back into my tattoo. I gave her a warm smile as she stared at me in awe, looking at my tattoo in fascination. I was wearing my original clothes, a pair of jeans, converse, a blue shirt, and a hoodie. "I'm just like you," I told her. "My stepfather use to hit me too."
"Because your mom left you too?"
My face fell a little bit. "No, she is in a better place now. It was my dad that left us," I told her, struggling a bit when I had to say dad.
"Why did he leave?"
"Chloe, what if I told you a big secret that only a very few people that knows? This secret includes me, your mom, and you."
"Me? Why me?"
"Remember when I told you how your mom is special?" She nodded her head. "Well, she is. She's in fact a Greek Goddess and she's your mom."
"My m-mom is what?" She squeaked out, unknowingly to her that she is now sitting in front of me, leaving her hiding spot.
"She's a Greek Goddess. Your mom is Aphrodite, Goddess of love and beauty."
"You're lying!" She exclaimed.
I shook my head. "I would never lie to you, I am telling the truth. You're a demigod, daughter of Aphrodite. I'm a demigod too. My father is Poseidon, God of the Seas," I reasoned with her.
"Prove it."
Sighing, I raised my hand up in the air. Closing my eyes, I focus on the water in the air. After a few seconds, I heard a small gasp from Chloe. Opening my eyes, I smiled as a miniature horse made out of water floats in my hands. The water horse then galloped in the air under my command, jumping around Chloe. She giggled softly when the water horse neighs, spraying water at her face. We both looked up as the water horse jumps up high in the air, doing a few tricks before evaporating back in the air.
"Are you a wizard?" I chuckled really hard at that, causing my stomach to hurt. "No. I told you, I'm a demigod. Just like you."
"Can I do that?"
"Eh, not exactly. Since I am the son of the Sea, I can control water and talk to marine life. Do you trust me?" I asked as I brought out my hand out towards her, waiting. She looked at my hand than at my face. I can see the wheels turn in her head before she finally made up her mind. My hand grasped her little hand. I smiled down at her, causing her to smile back at me.
"My name is Perseus by the way. But just call me Percy," I told her.
"Percy," she said, my name rolling out from her mouth. "That's a funny name."
I chuckled. Still holding her hand, I lead her to the living room. She hid behind my legs when she saw her dad passed out on the floor. It was adorable when she quickly kicked him in the legs before hiding back behind my legs.
"Did you kill him?"
I rubbed the back of my neck. "Um, no. I didn't hit him too hard," I tilted my head to the side. "I think he's alive."
"Where are you going to take me?" Chloe asked me, looking up at me with those big eyes.
"I have a friend that has this group of girls similar to you. I think you will fit in just right with them. Like, sisters."
"What if they don't like me?" She asked me shyly.
"Hey, they will love you. I like you."
"You do?"
"Yes."
"So, we're friends, right?" I responded by raising her up in my arms, resting her on my shoulders. She squealed in delight. "We are definitely friends. C'mon, let's go meet your new family," I told her, grabbing her dads leg. "Hold on tight."
She quickly wrapped her arms around my neck as I flamed travel all of us to the woods somewhere in Montana I believe. Chloe's father fell to the grass with a loud thump, causing him to groan out loud. Chloe didn't let go of me, her eyes shut very tightly, clutching to her stuffed giraffe like it was her life with her hands.
"Sorry about that, my friend lives far away and this was the fastest way to get here," I told her as she slowly open her eyes.
"Wow," she gawked, looking at the nature around her.
"Soak it all in sis, you are going to get used to it," I told her.
I then made my tattoo change back to my armor and mask, surprising Chloe a bit.
"Why did you do that?" She asked me.
"Well, I like to keep to myself, you know, stay hidden. Don't worry, my friend will recognize me."
I then started to walk in the woods, dragging Chloe's dad behind us. "What are you going to do with him?"
"Not me, some other people. Let's just say, he is going to get what he deserves," I told her.
We walked in the woods in silence, Chloe still on my shoulders. I felt her weight lean more forward, chuckling when I notice she was slowly falling asleep. Walking further, I soon heard sounds ahead of us, the smell of burning wood is in the air. Getting closer, we were soon at our destination. I barely took one step inside the camp before one of the wolves they have growled at me, alerting the entire camp that I was here. No sooner after the wolf growled, a silver arrow was shot towards my face and would've impaled my skull if I haven't caught it with my hand. I felt Chloe shake in fear, holding me tightly so I quickly slid her off of me, pushing her behind me. I felt her grab my leg, one of her hands gripping mine tightly. I quickly threw the arrow to the ground, black flames covering my arms as I took out my silver bow aiming it, when hunters started to approach me, their own bows aimed at me.
Before the hunters could shoot another arrow, there was a big flash between us. Everybody quickly covered their eyes, feeling the presence of a god. I quickly shielded Chloe's eyes with my body, feeling the heat of the power hitting my back. After a couple seconds, the light soon went away. I faced Artemis, slowly knelt down on one knee, bowing my head in respect. Chloe copied my action.
"Who's that?" I heard Chloe ask me quietly.
I looked at her. "That's my friend I told you about, Artemis, Goddess of the Moon and Hunt," I whispered in her ear before rising back on my feet.
Artemis looks the same from the last time I saw her. She is wearing her usual silver hunting clothes, her bow sling across her chest. Her auburn hair is gracefully done in a braid, with tiny flowers in them. She was in the age form of a teenager, like about my age. Her face is hard, looking directly at her hunters.
"Hunters, these people are no threat to us. Now, all of you get back to what you were doing before, I have something to deal with," Artemis order her hunters.
I coughed loudly, getting everybody's attention. I looked at Artemis then back at Chloe's father at the ground. She looked a bit confused until she finally understood. A malice smile appeared at her lips. "On second thought, Thalia, why don't you show one of the guests our welcome gift. A tour around."
I froze a bit when I saw the daughter of Zeus. She is still the same age when she accepted to be a huntress, 15. Her black, spiky hair grew longer the last time I saw it, the silver tiara still on her head. Her skin is getting a bit tanner from being outside 24/7. I can recognize those electric blue eyes anywhere, reminding me that she was the first friend of mine to turn on myself and Nico. I stood still as a statue when she ran behind me with some of the hunters, dragging Chloe's father to who knows where. Artemis motioned me to follow her. Giving Chloe's hand a squeeze, I lead us to Artemis tent.
It was very warm inside the tent, still the same when I was here the last time. Memories hit me when I remember the last time being here. Zoe…Bianca…Blinking rapidly, I shove those memories at the back of my head, focusing on the task.
"I am so sorry about that Perseus, they are just keeping their guards up," Artemis explained to me.
I took off my mask, my identity safe right now. "Don't worry about it. I've gotten use to people trying to kill me by now," I told her, shooting her a smile.
"So, who's this young maiden?" Artemis asked me, squatting down to Chloe's height, giving her a friendly smile.
Chloe shyly hid behind my legs, gripping tightly to her stuff animal and my hand like it is her lifeline. "Chloe, this is my friend Artemis. Artemis, this my new friend, she's a daughter of Aphrodite. Chloe, Artemis is a very nice friend of mine and won't let anyone hurt you," I reassured her.
It took a couple of seconds but she finally opened up. She shyly waved at Artemis. "Hi," she whispered quietly, smiling a bit.
"Hello, it's very nice to meet you," she smiled.
"Artemis is going to ask you an offer that she is going to explain," I explained to her gently.
Chloe nodded her head, never letting go of my hand. Artemis then started to explain of being a hunter in her group. She explained to her how they all travel together, training and killing monsters. How they sworn off men, staying a maiden forever. She also explain to her how she can be immortal but can still fall from battle. For Chloe's case, since she is so young, she will have to stay a bit out from combat, focus more on training, and when she is ready, can accept immortality. Chloe looked hooked into joining. She glanced up at me. "Will I ever see Percy again?" She asked Artemis.
"If it is alright with Lady Artemis, I can visit time from time if I'm not busy," I told her.
"It's fine by me, But do not say his name around the other Hunters, they can not know that Percy saved you. If you must talk about your savior, call him Blaze." Artemis told her.
Chloe squealed, jumping up and down and giving me a huge hug. "I accept Lady Artemis," she told her, looking very sure about her decision.
After Chloe said the oath, she had this silver glow surrounding her. Her outfit changed as well, changing into an adorable silver camo outfit. She was no longer covered in filth, looking fresh and a new person. I quickly reached into my pocket, almost forgetting something.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Your mother gave you a gift," I told Chloe, taking something out from my pocket.
"A gift?" I showed her a golden chain necklace, connected to a golden flying dove. The symbol of Aphrodite. I helped her place the necklace around her neck. She looked up at me with a huge grin, giving me a huge hug around my legs.
"Thank you so much, Percy," I heard her muffled voice.
I rubbed her back. "No problem kiddo. Now look, when you pull on the dove, it changes into your very own bow and arrows," I told her, squatting down to her level and pulled the dove.
Her eyes widened when an actual bow appeared in her hands, a quiver on her back. The bow is pure white, the string a gold color. There was beautiful designs on the bow, all about love and all that stuff.
"Now to change it back, you just have to think about the necklace."
I watched her as she closed her eyes tightly, concentrating. Soon, the bow and quiver started to shrink, changing back to a gold flying dove necklace. Chloe gasped when she noticed she made her bow change back to normal.
"Soon, you will be a pro with archery and every monster is going to be afraid of you, just like Lady Artemis" I told her, ruffling her hair. "Now I've really have to go, it's getting late. Why don't you go meet your new sisters?"
Chloe's face fell when I told her I have to leave. "You promise you'll visit me?"
"I promise. Cross my heart," I promised her, making an 'X' over my heart.
She smiled at me, giving one last big hug before walking to Artemis side. I stood up, smiling up at them. Artemis threw a small package at me. I caught it, looking inside of it.
"Here's what you wanted. Hope to see you again, Percy," she told me, giving me a soft smile.
There, inside the box, is pair of archery gloves. They were black leather, with the name Allison Argent written in silver. These pair are made for Artemis hunters, so this would be great gift for Allison's birthday tomorrow. I smiled in thanks at Artemis.
"Thanks, Arty. See you later," I told them quickly.
Before Artemis could slap at me for calling her Arty, I walked out of the tent to see the other hunters walk up to me as an attempt to block my way out. I smiled under my mask before quickly flame travelling back to Beacon Hills, back to my room. I tossed the package on top of my computer desk, flopping in my bed. I groaned when I felt my muscles relaxing. I shut my eyes, but something was poking at my stomach underneath me. Rising up on my elbows, I found a stack of 3 rental movies. I groaned when I remember they are due today before they will call me and I will have to pay more money.
I forced myself out of my soft bed, flame traveling out of the house. I might as well return these before I forget them, again. I appeared behind the movie rental store, stuffing my hands in my hoodie. I walked to the front, surprised to see that it is still open at this hour. I was even more surprise to see a familiar person in her car at the parking lot. Lydia Martin. I rolled my eyes when I saw her taking pictures of herself in the car, puckering her lips out.
I made my way towards the entrance doors. I stopped when I saw the lights flicker on and off, alarms going off in my head. All of a sudden, something happened that just made Beacon Hills even weirder than it already was. I felt the hairs behind my neck stand up when it happened. This large, black blur burst out through the store windows. I quickly covered my face when glass went everywhere, falling on my butt. Lydia screamed so loud, that I thought she burst my ear drums. Placing my arms down, that thing stopped long enough to stare right at me. I returned the expression with my flaming eyes before it took off. My chest heaved up and down, feeling the familiar adrenaline pumping through my blood.
I quickly scrambled on my feet, ignoring the cuts from the glass on my hands, leaving the movies on the floor. I ran to Lydia's car, seeing her a bit traumatized. She jumped in fright when she saw me but quickly relax.
"Lydia! Lydia! Are you alright?!" I asked her through the car window. I wanted to slap myself for asking such a stupid question once I saw the expression on her face. Her eyes seemed to be glazed over, tears starting to build up. She stared at the spot where the alpha was at, her lips parted open. I knocked at the window but she was unresponsive. I've seen this multiple times with new demigods. I knocked again.
"Lydia, open the door," I told her gently but also in a demanding tone. She slowly looked at me but it feels like she wasn't looking at me exactly. She slowly came back, opening her car door. She quickly got out of her car and launched herself at me, shaking in fright.
"Are you okay?" I asked her, grabbing her shoulders and looking in her eyes.
She looked back at the store, her mouth wide open in shock. "J-Jackson. H-he's still in there," she told me, grabbing my bicep tightly.
I nodded my head and together, we walked inside the store. The lights were still flickering on and off, giving off an eerie vibe. The shelves were all knocked down like dominos, the entire store a mess. I followed the noise of someone struggling, their heart beating super-fast. We soon found Jackson on the ground, his legs stuck under a shelf. Lydia quickly left my side and went to Jackson, running a hand through his hair, crying silently.
"Jackson! Are you alright?" Lydia cried out.
"Yeah. Get this thing off of me," he grunted. I wrapped my fingers around the wooden shelf, getting a good grip on it. Taking a deep breath, I lifted the thing off of Jackson, standing it back straight up. Jackson stood up on his feet and wrapping his arms around his frighten girlfriend. Jackson glanced at me, grasping my arm in thanks. I gave one back. I noticed a fallen ladder on the floor. Turning around, I saw a pair of feet. Slowly making my way, I sighed when I saw him. The store manager. He was just laying on the ground, with a pool of blood surrounding him, his throat slashed open, dead.
I quickly called 911, telling them that there was a murder in the movie rental store. Soon, the entire parking lot was swarmed with police cars and ambulances. The police wrapped crime tape around the store as people started to show up. I really just wanted to go home but the paramedics wouldn't let me. They used tweezers to pluck out the glass that dig through my skin, washing off the small blood before wrapping it with a white bandage. Why does stuff like this happen to me? And if that's not enough for my suffering, Jackson here is bitching to the paramedics about why he just can't go home. Except I can't blame him that much.
"Why can't your simple brains get this? We just want to go home. Our car is right there. I already told you, we are fine!" Jackson shouted at the paramedics, Lydia holding tightly to Jackson hand.
As if things couldn't get any worse, it just did. The sheriff police cruiser parked right in front of us. Sheriff Stilinski got out of the car and started to send out orders. I saw Stiles inside the car and his eyes widen when he noticed me here. It didn't take long before Sheriff Stilinski noticed me. I waved sheepish at him when he sighed, rubbing his tired face.
"Why the hell can't I just go home?! I'm fine!" Jackson shouted at Sheriff Stilinski when he walked up to us.
"I hear ya, but the EMT's says you hit your head pretty hard. We just want to make sure you don't have a concussion," Sheriff Stilinski explained to him.
"What part of I'm fine are you having problem grasping? I want to go home," Jackson told Sheriff Stilinski.
"I understand that-" but Jackson cut him off. "I WANT TO GO HOME!" Jackson yelled in Sheriff Stilinski face.
My annoyance and patience finally reached their limit. I stepped in between the Sheriff and Jackson, pushing Jackson back softly.
"Sherriff let him go home, I will answer your questions considering we both experienced the same thing. Just let them go." The Sheriff nodded and apologized to Jackson, who in turn thanked me again for my help.
"Oh, whoa, is that a dead body?!" I heard Stiles shout loudly.
"Everybody get back, get back," I heard Sheriff Stilinski tell the crowd.
A few minutes later, Sheriff Stilinski appeared in front of me. I nervously played with my ring as he took out a pen and a notepad. "Hey Perce, how are you feeling?" He asked me.
"I'm alright. Some night, huh?"
"I have to ask you this even though you volunteered, but can you answer some questions?" Getting a nod from me he continued.
"What were you doing here late at night?" Sheriff Stilinski questioned me.
"I was returning some movies."
"Even when you knew there is a curfew?"
"Yeah. They were due," I shrugged my shoulders.
"What time did you get here?"
"30 minutes before I called 911. Jackson and Lydia were with me as they also had movies to return."
"Did you see what happened?"
"Yes, actually. I saw a man no taller than 7ft tall, looked to be in mid-30's black hair, that's all I saw. Sorry." I lied to him.
He nodded, "no that's okay Percy, now we have something to go off of. Are you all cleared out from the paramedics?"
"Yeah, nothing serious."
"Do you want me to drive you home?" He asked me as he put away his pen and notepad.
"Um, yeah, sure, thanks."
He walked me to the police cruiser and unfortunately for me, I had to sit at the back. Sliding in my seat, I saw Stiles twist around and face me through the fence. "What happened?" Stiles quickly asked me.
Right before the Sheriff Stilinski got in the car, I whispered to him a sentence that made him go pale. "The Alpha that bit Scott, just attacked Jackson."
