The Unwanted Demigod

Chapter 5

(Ashely)

We ran through the alley. Heading for the front of the building. Behind me I heard the strangers gaining on us. A few feet in front of me I saw a screw driver. I picked it up and I turned around. I threw it to the closets person, which was a boy probably few years older than me. He had dark hair, and sea green eyes. I aimed for his head. As fast as it head his head I turned around to run again. I knew I had hit my target because 1) I have good aim and 2)I heard him groan afterwards.

We were almost to the end of the alley when this other boy that was chasing us appeared right in front of us. He just appeared in a black shadow. I yelped. This boy also had dark hair and dark eyes. But he was younger then the other one. Probably the same age as me.

I think I looked at his eyes to look long. No! Concentrate Ashley.

Me and Alex turned around to see the one girl that was chasing us as well. She had blonde hair, looked a few years older than me, and was glaring at me with her grey eyes. I mean what did I do. I realized we were trap. I went to the side of the building. Don't know why, just instinct. Until I saw the fire escape stairs. I quickly pulled them down and started climbing. Alex following me. Soon I was in front of the window and climbed in. I was in the second floor. I recognized this hallway because me and Alex's apartments are here. We ran to Alex's house and locked the door. Alex's mom was there looking at us with a scared face.

"What's wrong?"

We explained to her about this kids with a bad vibe and scars. She laughed at us and headed towards the door.

"No!" Me and Alex yelled. But it was already too late. She opened to reveal the strangers and Grover. Who was calm.

"Welcome. Come right inside."

"Hello, Ms Ramos," said Grover as he walked in, with the strangers following reluctantly.

"Hello. Come in. I am no monster," she told them which made them relax a little.

"Mom! Why did you let them in," Alex told his mom.

"Have you ever wondered if this kids just wanted to talk to you," she said as she led them to the living room while we stayed a good few feet away from them.

"Well Mom, you are the won the told us 'stay away from strangers. Especially if they are very nice to you and have dangerous weapons' when we were 5," he said.

"And when we were 9, you said 'stay away from strangers that have scars or an aroma," I continued after him.

"Well good thing she told you," said the guy with sea green eyes who I hit with a screw driver. "By the way, my name is Percy. This is Annabeth and Nico. And you must already know Annabeth."

The one named Annabeth glared at me while the other one, Nico, starred at me. It made me uncomfortable. "So what did you guys wanted to talk about?" I asked watching than wearily.

"Well..."
