I Started the Apocalypse Because My Car Broke Down

I Started the Apocalypse Because My Car Broke Down Chapter 2

I sputter into Percy's driveway, glancing over my charred steering wheel to check for some presence on her family's property. There's total silence save for the chorus of Pijin's meows, echoing from her cage in the backseat, I hear a sudden bark from their backyard and the quick scolding of Percy's stern, reprimanding voice.

I smile to myself, she could really get under your skin if there was a need for it.

"Tihi" I laugh cheekily as I space out. Just wait until I tell Annie, Percy.

I step out of the car and snuck with ninja-like precision into her backyard...And by that I mean in the process of sneaking into her property, I knocked over several chairs and a bin. '

"Have no fear! Dear, unsuspecting civilian!" I strike a cheesy pose in front of her. Percy's gaze is completely unsuprised as she raises an eyebrow and continues scolding the leaping dog in front of her.

"So, I take it you're here to save me from the apocalypse?"

"Wha-? How come everyone knew this and not me? Have you guys started a club without my knowledge?"

"Don't be ridiculous..So me and my family and Sandy shall leave when you are ready"

My mouth gapes open in mock horror, until a lightswitch goes off in my head.

"Wait..You want to bring your family? And Sandy? Noo, noo that is not going to happen, and nothing you can say or do will ever make me change my mind, or you could choose which will annoy you slightly less, or annoy me slightly less..."

15 minutes later, Percy is sitting in the front seat, coughing at the escaping fumes from my car. With Pijin and Sandy sitting in the back seat.

Sandy whines as Pijin cheekily sticks her paw through the bars of her kennel, teasing her.

"We could have taken my car, you know that right?" Percy raises her eyebrows at my machine's appalling state.

"I don't do things that way, Percy" I laugh at her nickname, just as I always have and she hits me over the back of my head with her hand.

"Ow!!"

"My name is Persinette and you know it!"

"Tche, and Robert P. is attractive in the Twilight films" I snigger and she shoots me a dirty look.

"He was so attractive! And don't get defensive just because your car is the worst hunk of metal I have seen since the junkyard, don't you know this whole thing is a disaster waiting to happen?"

"Don't you know how to SHUTUP?!"

"I'll ignore that, where are we going?"

"We're going to get Annie."

We pull up outside Annie's house, to be perfectly honest, I can't hide my childish expression of glee on my face at the fact that my car has managed to make it this far. Percy jumps out of the car and runs up the driveway, she slams open the door and yells for Annie.

No answer.

Again, she yells.

No answer.

Percy sighs before sucking in a deep breath, upon exhaling she lets out a massive scream that hurts my ears.

"WHAT?" I hear Annie stumbling clumsily down her stairs.

My mouth gapes open as Annie emerges in a business shirt with tousled hair. I clap my hand over my mouth.

Percy widens her eyes and I watch as her posture stiffens.

My eyebrows raise as I observe a large and imposing black man emerge beside her, he is very tall with dark eyes and a six-pack that almost makes me drool.
