Meh, I lied. I might just update this when ever I feel like it. Anyway, tomorrow is the day! Today I'm kind of sick and it doesn't help with it being my mums birthday today. I went into college at 1045 had one lesson and decided to leave because I felt like crap. And the best thing, I have to go out for dinner tonight, -cough sarcasm cough-, so yeah I'm currently sitting here writing out a load of chapters for this and Internet Dating, check it out if you haven't read it, and am really bored. I'm rambling so on with the chapter.
Chapter Six - Percy -
I charged at full speed towards the Cadillac and they charged too. Another man leaned out of the window with a SCAR H, military grade, and started shooting at the nearly broken windscreen. 300 yards from hitting the car, I quickly started up the remote detonation system on the car. Sorry Blackjack. I dived out of the car at the last second, the car exploding on impact as I dived and rolled down an alleyway, landing awkwardly on my wrist. Shrapnel from the cars and things in the surrounding area scattering around me, and nearby. The alleyway was barely big enough for me to roll down and when I stood I saw the flaming wreckage of my most prized possession and one of Kronos' Cadillac. I looked at my wrist, which was pointing to the left more than it should and slammed it against the wall. I screamed in pain as it was relocated into the socket and staggered out of the alleyway. I must have looked like I was dragged through hell backwards. People were giving me strange looks as I staggered over to a café down the road and into the bathroom. The employees just looked at me, mouths wide and some customers screamed at the sight of my weapons.
"FEDERAL AGENT, CALM DOWN!" I yelled as I flashed my badge, and waltzed into the bathroom. I stared into the mirror looking at my reflection. My crisp white shirt was covered in blood and, I hadn't noticed it before, but I had a shard of glass sticking out of my chest, a little to close to my heart. I took a deep breath a ripped it out of my chest, blood following suit and oozing out onto my shirt. I started feeling faint and looked at my phone I had placed on the sink. I started a group call to Nico and Chiron. I waited a while, clutching the countertop while I waited for them to answer. Nico answered first,
"DUDE. Don't do that to me Perce, I just saw your Stang. Where are you?" He breathed a sigh of relief. I cleared my throat, it felt really dry. I washed my hands, before cupping some water to my lips, not caring that it wasn't proper drinking water. I gasped as I finished it before answering,
"Starbucks down the road from the car, I'm in the bathroom, need medikit." I breathed just as Chiron answered. I gave Chiron the run down on what just happened and I needed a replacement vehicle.
"It's good to know you are safe, Kronos must be preparing something as he was sending his workers after many of our agents. No fatalities for us, just injuries like you." Chiron told me as Nico entered and started patching me up. Now if you are wondering about the whole healing thing, it only applies if the cut isn't deep, and I think having a shard of glass pretty close to your heart counts as deep. Nico brushed some cleaning alcohol onto the cuts on my arms and face while I talked to Chiron. It was about 845am when Chiron hung up. I groaned at the thought of having to use a different car. I had Blackjack since I was fifteen, using it on some assignments, my first car that my father bought me. There would be a replacement waiting for me at the safe house when I return there after school. I walked over to where Nico's bike was when he finished cleaning my cuts and gave me a clean set of clothes that he bought down the street at American Apparel, we set off towards school. We were both on edge, keeping an eye on the mirrors and the sides in case of another attack. We slowed down to about 10 MPH when we were nearing the car park gates,
"You did something you regretted and wreaked you mustang, got it?" Nico said sternly. I didn't argue, he told me that, that was what he said to the others yesterday when I stormed off. I hopped off of his bike and walked towards the main school doors. We missed form, homeroom, again; and were now making our way to Maths after I picked up some more textbooks and ensuring to the woman from yesterday I was fine and just got into a car accident on the way home from school yesterday. I walked into the room and a stunned silence was evident was I walked over to the back where there was an empty seat. As soon as I took my seat, there were murmurs coming from the class and I could see Nico sitting next to Thalia, no doubt telling her what happened, and I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes. I had Riptide and my weapons under Nico's bike seat and on his bike seen as there was no where else to put them due to my bags being destroyed. I heard the chair next to me scrape along the floor and then the shuffling of someone sitting down. I caught the whiff of lemon shampoo and opened my right eye to see Annabeth sitting there with a worried look drawn across her face, and her princess curls framing the worried look. I closed my eye again as she asked,
"You okay? You look... Terrible."
I chuckled and mumbled, "I'm fine, just did something I regret and totalled my car."
I could still feel the pain in my chest, I winced and ran my hand along the cut. I could still feel her grey eyed stare on me until I heard her gasp. I looked over at her, eyebrows scrunched in confusion, to see her mouth hanging open and eyes brimming with tears. She wasn't however looking at my face, she was looking at where the glass impaled into my chest, and my hand. I glanced down to see a thick red substance seeping through my shirt, and on my hand. Nico hadn't done a good job, there was still glass in my chest. I sighed and stood up, walking over to the door. I glared at Nico and he just gave me a curious look before he saw the stain. He winced and mouthed 'sorry' and I walked out of the door. I didn't hear a click and the next thing I knew I had Annabeth standing next to me. I eyed her curiously as I tried to block out the 'impure,' as they called it at the Agency, thoughts of her.
"I'm coming with you, in case you fall or something." She mumbled. I walked to the left and she followed.
"Where are you going, nurse's office is this way." she stated, pointing in the direction. Her beautiful grey eyes, filled with concern and some other emotion, I never was good at reading emotions, were staring at me as I ground to a halt and raised an eyebrow,
"Don't need that, I need something else." I mumbled as I turned around and walked out of the double doors. "I suggest you don't follow me for this part, it'll make you squirm." I continued. I saw her shrug and I sighed and walked over to Nico's bike. The guns were hidden in a compartment under the helmet and Riptide was strapped to the side of the bike.
"Okay, do not freak out okay? it's not what you think its for and what I'm going to do." I saw her nod slightly, but I could see the hesitation in her movement. "I need you to stand in front of me and hold this mirror."
I took off the bikes mirror, detachable thank goodness, and handed it to her. I winced as I pulled the top over my head. I could hear her gasp and when the shirt was above my head, she was blushing but also looked a tad sick,
"Did warn you." I smirked. She rolled her eyes but kept her eyes fixated onto my hands, "Please do not freak out, I'm not going to do anything with it to you, I just had a feeling I had glass inside me still when I woke up this morning. Do not freak out, faint, run or anythi-"
"Alright I get it." She smiled but it was nervous smile. I pulled out Nico's combat knife, a 10 inch blade, and her eyes widened in fear, "Do not move the mirror." I told her clearly. she was shaking but she nodded and I sighed, placing it back in the holster briefly.
I placed my hands on her shoulders and I felt electricity spark through them. She tensed but relaxed instantly,
"I swear, I will not harm you. I just brought this along with me in case I needed it." I lied. Well about the last part anyway. "You may want to look away." I continued.
Thankfully we were behind one of the buildings with a lot of other cars around. She closed her eyes and she was still shaking, I pulled out the knife and made a larger incision into my skin, cutting the stiches in the process. I hissed at the pain and I saw Annabeth flinch, still looking a bit pale, but she was fine. I gingerly placed the knife on the seat of the bike and I stuck my index finger and middle finger into the opening, feeling around for the glass. after about half a minute, I was pricked by something sharp and grabbed it by the tip and slowly pulled it out. I bit my lip hard to stop myself from crying out in pain and ripped the glass out at the last second. I grunted in pain and dropped the shard, roughly two inches long. It had clearly snapped off of the one from this morning. My hands were shaking and covered in blood and I pulled out the medikit from Nico's seat and started stitching myself up, with the help of the mirror. I cleaned the wound, before and after, with the rubbing alcohol and placed everything back where it belonged after.
"You can open your eyes now." I whispered, loud enough to hear. I was cleaning the blade with a rag and I had cleaned the blood off of my hand and chest with some water that was in the kit. She opened her eyes slowly, and placed the mirror on the seat. She gripped the handle and her legs wobbled. She closed her eyes and slumped forward, towards the pavement,
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." I mumbled as I dropped the knife into its sheath and caught her in my arms. She opened her eyes and I saw by far the most beautiful thing ever, she looked truly amazing, they way she glanced up at me through her eyelashes. That was when we noticed how close we were. We eyed each others lips, and she started to lean in and I mirrored her movement, STOP, STOP, STOP! My brain yelled at me, our lips were inches away...
