Third person
After a few weeks Percy was sent back to the Orphanage. He still had a cast on his arm and had to put cream on his burns till they fully healed.
Percy Pov
"Vivian? You ready? We can't be late for breakfast!" I called from behind the bathroom door.
"Give me a 10 minutes!" She yelled back.
"10 MINUTES!" I yelled in shock, "10 important minutes of our lives! Anything could happen!" I faintly heard her huff, "Fine! Then you go and I can 10 oh so important minutes getting ready."
I laughed, "Alright! I will be waiting for you down stairs!"
At the cafeteria
I grabbed some butter and bread and slid into the seat next to Annabeth, "What a lovely morning to you, dear mademoiselle." She turned her head towards me and laughed, "I hope you had a nice vacation, my good sir, because you are back and must do your chores." I pouted. Which only made her laugh harder, she kissed me on the cheek and stole one of my toast. "Hey!" I protested. The rest of my friends laughed. I huffed when she bit into my toast, some friends. I thought.
"Would Percy please come to my office, someone would like to adopt you." Chiron's voice echoed from the speakers. Immediately everyone was silent. Someone to adopt? Adopt me? That was really rare. No one and I mean no one has EVER tried to adopt me before. My friends stared at me. I looked shocked, but I managed to shuffle towards the office. I was so nervous, what was the person like or couple like? I could feel the countless pairs of eyes burning holes into my back. I turned around, "Stop staring like a couple a brainless monkeys!" I snapped at them. They looked a little surprised, but they turned around and continued eating and chatting more quietly.
With my sweaty I nervously took hold of door hand. I sucked in a breath and opened the door.
Chiron was smiling uneasily at an ugly man who's back was towards me. When Chiron saw me he smiled in relief. "Ah Percy! Please meet your new step father, Gabriel Ugliano." Chiron said calmly, Gabe turned around and grinned like a mad man. All my limbs were frozen in fear. After all these I thought he was dead or in jail, but aplenty not. I felt my breath quicken and my palms were getting sweat. Chiron continued like nothing was wrong,"Very nice man. I will leave you two alone so you can talk and get to know each other." I wanted scream to tell don't leave me alone with this murderer! But Chiron wheeled himself outside his office.
Gabe waited until he was sure Chiron wasn't in hearing rang then turned to me. "It's been a long time, hasn't it?" He asked looking Chirons pictures hanging on the walls. "Not long enough." I said quietly, but I was unfortunately heard. Gabe growled and spun around with a scowl in his face. I swallowed."Why are you here?" I asked.
Gabe smiled evilly,"To finish off what I started, to finish the Jackson's!" He said with his arms in the air like he was going to get a spotlight shone on him for such a beautiful speech. I frowned, "What?" I thought.
"Too bad the fire I set didn't kill you, but I will have so much fun ripping your body bone from bone." He grinned creepily. I glared at him,"You set the school on fire!? People could have gotten hurt or killed because of you!" I screamed at him.
"You think I care?"
"You should because when I'm done with you, you'll be in jail. Forever."
I saw a flash of fear cross his face then vanished. Then he took a very sharp looking dagger out of his pocket. I backed away, all the judo moves and defence steps disappeared from my mind. I didn't know what to do, I felt like I was three again, fear flashed into my eyes. Gabe noticed,"I hunted you down the moment I found out you were gone."
I couldn't help myself, "How long did that take? Oh and I got a call from the nursery the said they want your brain back."
Gabe growled and lunged at me, I yelp and dodged, but I forgot the dagger. It slashed my cast open. Oh curse my ADHD from blurting things out.
I didn't understand what happened next because I need in a corner against the walls, clutching a broken picture frame. That wasn't the worst, Gabe's dagger was at my throat. I eyed the dagger warily. I could smell the alcohol rolling out of his open mouth that was stained yellow from smoking. I was scared and my hope that someone was going to find me was almost out of juice. "Move, scream, talk, whisper or anything. I will have your head." Gabe slurred. I swallowed.
Someone help me. I thought desperately.
Not too long sorry.
reviews would be nice...
