Frozen Screams (Chaos' Son #2)

[2] - Returning

"Okay, now that we've caught up with all the stuff going on, Perce, ma man, please. House tour. Now." Leo pleaded hilariously. I laughed lightly and nodded. I stood up and gestured to the rest to follow. I walked out infront of the house, and gave them a good look of my lawn. It wasn't a huge lawn or anything, a modest size. The front of my house was a combination of different tones of brown with contrasting textures. 

"So yeah, this is my lawn. Front of my house. Let's go in, shall we?" I said and grinned.

"Pfft...It's not like we've been in there before." Jason said in a joking manner. All of us chuckled while I rolled my eyes and laughed. 

"Anyways..." I said while I pushed open my doors. We entered my foyer that was carpeted maroon and there were plenty delicate pottery works and beautiful paintings which I always admired, and one (my favourite) was created by my best friend at high school, Rachel. The first door to my right was my study. I opened the door to reveal an amazingly furnished study. There were 3 study tables, one for my dad, one for mom and one for me. Each table was decorated by bunch of frantic paper work. 

"This is the study." I pathetically explained. Everyone gaped as Leo walked over to my Dad's table and swiped his thumb on the top of it. 

"The woodwork is brilliant!" Leo said as he gaped. I nodded in pride. After we left the study, I showed them the Great Room, as I called it, which led to the kitchen and the dinner table. Then I led them outside to show them my back lawn which consisted of the Out-door kitchen. Then I led them to the verandah which over-looked the entire lawn and the pool. 

"The pool is cleaned everyday by the housekeepers because I'm in the swim team and I must practice everyday." I noted.

"I observed that you say housekeeper, not servant or maid..." Hazel pointed out. I turned to her and smiled.

"I don't like to take advantage of people's jobs and treat them as they are lower than me. They are truly housekeepers anyway. " I answered. Hazel smiled and let Frank hug her. I cooed in my head and looked away to give them their little privacy. 

Towards the left was the cabin which I liked to use often because of the amazing scenery we happened to have the luxury to experience. A step out of the cabin would mean a step into the huge pool I owned. I once again took them inside and brought them upstairs. Next to the staircase was a pool table which my dad loved to play with me in the rare occasions of him coming home.

 I showed them to the guest room which I liked a lot. The best convenience of this room was that it had a spectacular walk in closet to which Piper, Annabeth and Hazel squealed in pleasure. 

Finally I showed them my room which was black and white and led to a good-sized balcony. Tour; completed. 

"Not bad. Not bad at all, Jackson." Frank commented. The expression on his face showed that he was extremely impressed. 

"But...there's something we want." Annabeth said timidly. I frowned, but gestured for her to continue.

"Well...come back to Camp Half Blood with us." Annabeth said. Silence held the air as I breathed out in thought. 

"I-I don't know."
