Sorry i have been gone for so long. i went on a vacation with my family. it sucked I mean seriously all I got was lectures every day pft. Here's that chapter anyways sorry for not updating.
Percy Pov:
Right after school I walked straight home through the creepy streets full of gangs. When I reached to my house I unlocked the front door and braced myself for the yelling screaming hitting and demanding for beer to start. I sighed silently wishing I was anyone but myself. I mean come on, all I had were bruises, scars, and a whole lot of lacking in self confidence. At school I was still nobody, I was teased and sometimes punched but at least I could keep a straight face and act normally. I'm a shell of my former self and I still have no ideal how I could get back to what I was before. Confident, loving, and most importantly happy. I heard foot steps and I braced myself form Gabe to come to me. Then I saw a note on the table. I read it and sighed in relief.
Hey Punk,
I'm of to an important free trip from an online vacation getaway win. Get it? Get away from you loser. When I come back in a week I expect you I clean the entire house buy a month worth of beer and I left a list.
I set the note down and sighed, then there was sudden knocking on my door. I got scared and annoyed at the same time. I hesitated and opened the door. Standing in the door way was no other person than the one an only... Annabeth Chase. For some strange apparent reason I was more scared than I was when Gabe chocked me after "I ate a peanut incorrectly". Ridicules right? Well acually what is more ridiculous right now is that I'm scared of a pretty girl that is shorter me. Well on me defense she was pretty darn smart and could figure out anything, so if she figures out my case... Who knows what Gabe would do to me!
Annabeth frowned," I came by to ask why your arm have scars."
"Well...would you mind your own buisness."
"Yeah also your house is disgusting. Are you sure it's up to code? You sould get a home inspection like now. Maybe you could call HGTV for a free home inspection or whatever. Have you ever thought of cleaning this place up of tidying it up? Ewww is that seriously BLOOD on the wall. Did a murder occur here? Looks like one. Wait is that your BLOOD on the wall. Are you ok?" Annabeth said finally out of breath. She was hammering me with thousands of questions that left me with nothing to reply back or at least making a decent excuse, well besides the obvious thought that occurred to me, uh oh, and she sounds like Nico Di Angelo.
"I uh...Halloween party" I replied weakly.
"I uh..Halloween party. Pft Percy your such a big seaweed brain." Annabeth smirked triumphantly."I'm not that dumb."
I searched though my imaginary folder of excuses in my head trying to find one good enough to fool I found my perfect distraction, grinning like an Idiot I said,"Oh yeah, Wise Girl...I thought ALL blondes were dumb." I smirked happily thinking of my plan...that I came up with five seconds ago hoping it would distract the intelligent blond chick.
"Excuse me for your information barnacle boy...you get Ds and Fs" Annabeth retorted.
"Like I need school with the life I live." I contoured bluntly realizing I just gave her some unwanted information that really didn't need to be mentioned.
"Mmhmm...and what is that Mr. Perseus Jackson." Annabeth replied smoothly.
"Wait slow down for a sec ok? How the Hades fo you know my full name? Even the teacher doesn't know it! Besides I never use it." I hissed angrily glaring at the blonde girl.
"Please Jackson...no one names their kid Percy. First of all, it sounds like a nickname. Second of all, I was the one helping the teacher pass out the state standards test in fith grade, it had your full name on it." Annabeth snorted.
"I..."
"So why are there blood stains? Where the hell are your parents, they are suppose to be home." Annabeth exclaimed.
I slapped my hand over her noisy mouth warning her silently knowing that the gangs in the neighborhood would come soon. "Please Annabeth would you please go? For me?" I begged.
Annabeth held her ground and put her hands firmly on her waist looking like she was about to lecture me. Then I heard a sound outside my house. I looked out the window and I swore I saw something moving.
"Explanation first... I'm waiting Jackson!"
I kept looking between her and the window nervously then suddenly the door was punched down and standing there was one of the gang members. I looked at Annabeth who she's eyes were in complete shock and terror. Oh shit.
"That's why," I whispered quietly waiting for the guy to kill me as he held a gun to my temple. Then I glared at her and I mouthed the words, "Happy Chase?"
Annabeth Pov:
I'm officially freaking out. All I did was follow Percy home out of curiosity and now I would be killed. Curse my stupid determination... I always have to have what I don't get don't I? I prayed to every single god out there that me and Percy would live. I thought about my brothers, Bobby and Matthew who are really annoying but awesome compared to other siblings. I thought about my best friend Katie Gardner, damn she would be disappointed if I died...scratch that she would be heartbroken and shattered into a million of pieces if I die.
For once in my life I regret not listening to Percy Jackson, the rude and insolent seaweed brain.
I closed my eyes trembling. I could here the man yelling at Percy. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes and took a peek. I started panicking and tried to think of strategies to get us out of this horrible mess. Suddenly I remembered I still had my iPhone. I dialed 911 while I looked back at then man and Percy. I quietly backed up and hid behind a sofa praying to any god of goddesses out there that the stranger wouldn't notice me. I turned to volume on my phone to low as possible. Sighing in relief I waited as the phone rang.
"Hello how may I help you?" A nice lady said into the phone on the other line.
"I need police to come right now. A gun is involved and would be used. If you don't get here fast children might die! And by children I mean me and my friend."
I hung up as I heard Percy scream. I got up from behind the couch and saw a boy with sea green eyes howling in pain. There was blood running down his arm and a broken glass window behind his back. I took out my knife...my only weapon given by my birth mother. She gave it to my dad and told him to give it to me when I turned 13 years old. She said that it would protect me someday as if she knew what was going to happen today.
"Now sweetheart...it's your turn, let's see if you could do better than your scrawny boyfriend." He sneered.
Suddenly I became really angry.
"He's not my boyfriend! And don't call me sweetheart." I spat.
Then I ran with all my might hurling myself toward the creep. I stood right on top of him with my knife under his chin. However he had his stupid gun pointed right at my head. I was prepared to die when suddenly I heard police sirens. Accompanied by them were the ambulance in case.
They came storming in the old wrecked house. Percy was looking horrible. His face was pale and turning into a sickly shade of green slowly. The paramedics took him and I got off the stupid fat retarded man and ran toward him.
"Percy!" I screamed as I started to tear up. I scrambled toward the sea-green eyed boy with unruly wavy black hair. I tripped and fell. Tears streamed down my face soaking my shirt. Blood trickled out of my cut from wrestling the psycho man.
Suddenly a deep voice started talking startling me a bit. I turned around my heart racing then relaxing a bit after seeing the man. He was a tall African American man with a stern look on his face. He was dressed in a police officer's uniform and he had a gun pointing at the man that I tackled. The other officers hand cuffed him.
"Everyone calm down and listen up." The officer stated calmly. He turned toward me. "Hey kid, go with your boyfriend. Stay with him at the hospital and we would come later and question both of you. Understand?"
"He is not my boyfriend!" I said gritting my teeth. "He is a freaking idiot that I like to bother!"
I ran into the ambulance wiping my tears as I shook Percy's arm desperately while the nurse or what ever worked on him.
"I'm sorry," I spoke quietly knowing that he couldn't hear me. " I was pretty stupid not listening to you. I guess I just wanted to know..." I said my voice trailing off." It's all my fault...please forgive me. Percy, why did you save me, I mean you kind of hate me a lot." I told him finally breaking down completely. As I told myself that everything was going to be alright. Even hen I knew I was just telling myself lies. This was only the beginning...something told me that HE was only a minor problem. The real problem would come soon and Percy was not telling me anything.
