Percy 12: The Greatest Villain

Aftermath

I hear a scream that pierces through my head to wake me up. I hear the commotion around the curtains and I go to follow with them.

"What the hell is going on?" I shout as I see Percy 12 and Brillan running towards the island.

"Not so loud, we cant wake up Malry. Brenlym fell a bit ago and hurt his head and we're gonna see what's wrong." Brillan whispered as he gestured for me to follow him.

I quietly rushed to follow and I see Percy 12 helping Brenlym up and Brillan picks up the glass from the floor. Percy 12 turns Brenlym around to check his head for bruises and bleeding.

Brillan runs to the bathroom aside from the entrance to get him a wet cloth.

"Guys really, I'm okay! A little bleeding never hurt no one." I heard him say in between wincing as Percy 12 still checked for bruises and cuts.

"No dude, you're bleeding in the back of your head. I'm gonna call my dad to come up and help you. He's a trained medical professional. I want you to tell him what caused it and it'll all be confidential between you two, I swear." Percy 12 sat him down on the couch with blankets and stuffed animals, a few pillows too. Brillan came running back with a wet cloth and went to put it on the back of his neck.

Brenlym was sweating like he was wearing winter clothes in the middle of the Sahara Desert. I walked over to the island to get him a cup of water, plastic of course. I walked back over to the couch and sat down beside him.

"Hey Bren, got you some water, it's in a plastic cup so you csnt be hurt by glass again. Sorry if that's childish or something, just trying to look out for you." I speak quietly as I hand him the water. He mouths back 'thank you' as Percy 12's Dad, Reese came into the room to help.

He had his medical bag in one hand and someone's hand in the other. I haven't checked the time but it was 7:38 AM. I planned on going back to sleep after this but Reese brought in someone, maybe one of Brenlym's friends?

Oh no. It was the girl I liked at school! I didn't know she was friends with Brenlym!

"Brenlym are you okay? Are you hurt at all?" She said as her short hair was in a blonde mess and her glasses were slipping off her face, still visibly tired.

"Hey Emmarly, yeah I'm okay, it's probably just a scratch. Also, me and Malry were talking last night and I do wanna talk to you after, is that okay?" Brenlym asked as Reese gave him a hug.

"Yeah of course. Speaking of Malry, is he okay? I'm worried that hes having bad nightmares or something. I know it seems like I hate him but I really dont, it's just pure banter." She said as Brenlym lead Reese to his bed to help him.

"Malry is going to be alright Emm, dont worry. Hey Prailin?" He said as he turned to me.

"Yeah Bren?"

"How about you get Emmarly some breakfast, she's probably worried and famished." He said with a sly wink as he left with Reese.

I nodded and cautiously took her hand, I didnt want to spook the poor girl, she just found out that one of her childhood best friends was seriously Injured.

"So Emmarly, what are you in the mood for? Eggs and bacon? Pancakes? Waffles? French toast? An omelette? Anything you want, I'll make. You still going to school today?" I felt bad I kept asking her so many questions, she looked so frazzled and hungry.

"Uhm... me and Abbigail aren't going in today, shes going to be here in a few minutes. And I remember you made Percy 12 Pancakes before, he shared them with me, so maybe your blueberry pancakes? And maybe make some extras, I have a feeling everyone is gonna be hungry. I can help you if you want, Prailin." She still sounded like she was anxious so I patted her on the shoulder.
