Witness Protection
Chapter 5
PERCY POV
Annabeth and I were in the car. She explained to me what happened in the bathroom.
"Annabeth, you can't just degrade yourself for what other people have done to you. You are a beautiful woman, and men have to respect that." I told her. I was gripping the wheel so hard me knuckles turned white. How could someone do that to Annabeth?
"I know Percy. Luke treated me like crap. It's my fault that I didn't break up with him sooner." Tears started to come down her cheeks. Crap, it my fault…
"Don't cry. He threatened you. There's nothing that you can do." I told her, taking her hand. We both stiffened at the movement, but we soon relaxed. Our hands felt like they were meant to be there.
"Thanks Percy." She muttered, turning her head to look out the window.
The rest of the car ride was silent to our new house. The key word being OUR.
When we pulled in, I noticed that it was older, a Victorian like house. There was a balcony, and it was a maroon like color. Annabeth got out of the car and smiled. "FBI had really outdone themselves." She said.
"I know." I started to the house, and I didn't bring the bags in at first. I just wanted to see what the theme was.
Annabeth followed close behind. There was a beautiful fireplace in the center of the living room, and a grand portrait of Annabeth and I. Weird much?
There were two chairs set looking at the fireplace, and a table between. Of course my father knew that I preferred to read, then watch TV… but what about Annabeth?
"Are you okay with not having a TV and all? Because I could get one…" Annabeth looked at me like I was insane.
"And ruin this whole Victorian theme? No way. Besides, I like to read a lot more than I like watching TV. When you read, you watch TV in your head, with your pictures. It's way better." Annabeth told me. We walked to the room next to it, the kitchen.
There were modern appliances, while the tables were made out of granite and stayed with the theme. The appliances were a silvery metal, so they fit in well too. I walked around the kitchen, soaking in every detail. There was a backwash behind the counter. It was bricks, again with the theme. Together the kitchen was inviting. It had a red color that made you instantly happy.
Annabeth was looking at the food while I moved on to the dining room. Six chairs, with a nice touch to the theme, and the two end chairs were the grandest of them all. Annabeth and I would sit there.
A candle was placed in the middle of a holder that held 8 small candles. Very grand room. There was a bathroom too, but I decided to go upstairs. The staircase started by the door, winding its way up to the second floor. At the entrance you could see some of the second floor. The stairs looked almost like it was glass. I walked up and saw a hallway leading to five rooms. The closest one to me was the one I went in first.
The room was smaller, and had a twin sized bed, curtains on the window. The room was painted a sea green like my eyes, while the curtains were light blue. This is like a teenage girl's room.
The next room down, I walked in. There was a crib, and a changing table. The curtains were dark blue, while the rest of the room was brown. A baby's room. But we didn't need it… did we?
The next room I walked into was at the end of the hall, with double doors. I walked in and gasped. This was the master bedroom. It was radiant, just like the woman who will be living here with me.
There was a king size four post bed, each post had a curtain. That was all evened out. The main colors were dark red and dark green. The color of the walls was dark green, and the curtains were dark red. I walked further into the room, and saw that there was a double door leading out to a balcony that was furnished with a table and two cushioned seats. Looking out onto the lake near the house.
But there was also a set of stairs heading up. I decided to see what that was all about. When I went up, I instantly remembered seeing a castle like structure on the end of the house. The master must be that structure.
At the top, you were in a circle room, windows all the way around. It was big, about the size of a normal room. There was furnishings in here too, but there was bookcases, and shelves. There was a loveseat looking out and a chair looking out the other way. This place was fantastic.
I looked at the loveseat, and saw an envelope with Annabeth's name on it. But since it was her property, I didn't want to intrude. She would just get even madder at me.
I decided I should check out the other rooms though, but I knew that Annabeth would spend most of her time here.
I walked out of the master and into the room going back towards the stairs, and it also had double doors but these doors were glass. I walked in and saw that this room was meant from me, by my father. I walked around the room, and behind the desk was four tall bookshelves filled with books.
I sat down in the office chair and looked at the desk. There was an envelope on it with my name. I opened it.
Percy,
I hope you like this house so far. Annabeth and you will be going to the camp tomorrow, and will be activity directors. I hope that you two make friends, and try to be as normal as possible. other words don't go around flashing your badge when something doesn't go your way. If you end up really liking the house, I could pull some strings and make it yours.

I smiled and put the note in the drawer. I sat for awhile before I heard a knock on the door. "Percy?" Annabeth's voice called.
"Come in!" I yelled back, straitening up my desk, looking at files that my father put in my desk. They were about people.
Annabeth walked in carrying two coffee mugs. "Did your father get you an envelope?" she asked me. I nodded and took the mug she was holding out to me.
"Thanks, Annabeth." She smiled at me. I pulled out one of the files I saw. "Look at this." She sat on my desk like in The Nanny, me being Mr. Sheffield and Annabeth being Fran. Funny stuff… but it would be okay if we wound up like them…
She looked at the file with me.

Grover and Nico were coming too… but I think they're living in a different house. Hopefully. I was calling my father. I can't have two ding-dongs in my house when Annabeth is with me… it's not right.
I pulled out my phone looking at Annabeth. "What are you doing?" she asked me, with a curious glint in her eye.
"I'm calling my father to have a little word with him about a Nico and Grover." I explained. She shook her head.
"Your father told me in the note he gave me that Nico and Grover were NOT staying with us. I guess he knew that it would be uncomfortable for me." I gave her a smirk and went back to reading the files of our co-workers at camp.
That night, Annabeth and I were at the dining table, opposite ends, drinking wine.
"Tomorrow we have to work." Annabeth reminded me. I sighed and put the glass down.
"Grover and Nico are arriving at their houses tonight. So they'll be there as well." I told her. She nodded and took a sip of wine. We were both flustered. And both about the same thing. Sleeping arraignments.
"Look," I said, "We both nervous about our sleep together, so why don't I just sleep on the couch in the castle." She frowned at me.
"Percy, I can't let you do that. You'll hurt your back." She said strictly. I shook my head,
"I've had worse." She looked angry.
"Why do you treat me like a kid?" she asked, outraged.
"I do because I'm stuck babysitting you!" I shouted at her. She closed her eyes, and tears came out. She ran up the stairs and I heard the doors slam shut. No couch I guess.
I walked to the living room, kicked off my slippers and went to sleep. I was in for the ride of the devil tomorrow, I thought.
Hope you guys liked my chappie! Stay tuned for the next chapter in my writing frenzy!
