Annabeth
Ugh, where am I? What is that annoying peeping? And why is there a needle in my arm? Oh my god, I'm where I never want to be, the hospital. I try calling for a nurse, but I am just to tired. Luckily, a nurse happens to see I'm awake, and goes to get the doctor.
"Hello Annabeth. You gave us quiet the scare." A woman about my mom's age says, looking at the clipboard. I can just make out the name of her name tag as Sally Jackson. Any relation to Percy?
"Almost hit by a car, and then blacked out? Your lucky my son rushed you here." Who is her son though?
"And who might your son be?" I ask, laying on the innocence the best I could. It worked.
"Why, Percy. He said you moved so fast, he couldn't track it. When you fainted, he was by your side in a heart-beat." Before she could say anymore, my dad came rushing into my room, a worried look on his normally calm and relaxed face.
"Annabeth, are you alright?" He asks, not noticing Sally is in the room as he gives me a hug.
"I'm fine dad. Just blacked out is all." He seems to finally notice Sally and looks at her.
"Just a minor concussion and some bruising is all. She is fine to go home, but I suggest that she take a day or two off from school. Percy will drop off her school work. If that is alright with you, of course." Dad says that's more than kind, signs the paper work, and drives me home.
"You must be pretty damn light kiddo. People say you moved like lightning to avoid that car." Dad chuckles as we pull up the drive way. I can't keep my curiosity contained any more.
"Dad, what do you know about the Jackson's?" He looks at me, surprised at my question.
"They have only been here for about a year, year and a half. Poseidon is personal friend of mine, going back to high school. Sally is his wife, married about three months after their first date. Wonderful doctor, with a great attitude and a contagious smile. Their children love to help around the community, putting on shows and benefit concerts for the poor and ill. That's about all I know." Nothing out of the ordinary. So why do I have a strange feeling in my stomach?
"Thanks dad. I'm going to go lie down now, I'm pretty tired." And the funny thing is, I am. I guess almost being run over by a car takes a lot out of you.
"Alright sweetie. I have to go back to work. But I'll be here at five o'clock sharp. Love you." He says, giving me a hug.
"Love you too dad." I hug back, still wondering why I keep going back to when Percy looked at me.
Percy
I blew it. Yup, good by to California, and hello to Washington, with it's bipolar weather and messed up streets. I knew I shouldn't have saved her, but I couldn't stop myself. My brothers and sister say I should have let things happen, but then what kind of force would I be if I had? A rotten one, that's for sure.
"Percy, what were you doing?! You could have exposed us all!" Tyson yells, getting in my face. I just gently push him back, not wanting to talk.
"Yeah Percy. You are so lucky that mom and dad convinced everyone it was an adrenaline rush that made her move so fast. She may just be better off dead." My only sister, Artemis, sneers coldly. That's when I snap.
"Oh, and saving your husband from a serial killer wasn't almost reveling us Artemis! I don't need anyone telling me what to do with my life! I've been around so much longer than the both of you put together! So buzz off!" With that, I ran off. When I'll be back, I am not certain. Probably won't be for a while, that much I know. And my family will know not to look for me. I've done this many times when I want to be alone.
"Thank sis. Now I have no one to play guitar with!" I can hear Apollo shout. That does make me feel guilty. Apollo and I are actually brothers, so it always hurts when I leave to be alone.
"Serves you both right. Maybe now you'll actually get a life." Artemis reply's. Has she always been so cold? Well, for the second time in a week, the forest is once again my home. At least until I feel like coming back home.
As promised, a longer chapter. Like it, hate it? Review plz.
