Learning to Respect (ON HOLD FOREVER)

Chapter Six

 The scene began to unfold before them, and everyone payed close attention.

The boy had dirty blonde hair that fell in front of his face, nearly covering his eyes. One of the girls had bright purple hair that had mixes of black and blonde in it. Her hair had been pulled messily into two braids. The other girl had fiery orange hair that had been pulled into a bun, leaving some stray strands to get in her face. Her eyes were red, which was unnatural.

"Does that girl have contacts?" Leo asked, and Percy shook his head.

"Nope. She has some thing against contacts."

"Who are these people Percy?" Annabeth asked, looking at him.

"Well, obviously my best friends, Dylan, Darcy -the one with purple hair- and Jaxon. Our other friend Emmerald isn't here, well, at least not yet." Percy snickered.

"I believe you, Dylan!" Jaxon punched the boys shoulder. "Why'd ya do that?" They had been watching a scary movie, when Dylan had decided to scare Jaxon.

"Sorry, but it was an open oppurtunity! I had to take it!" Dylan raised his hands in defense.

"Oh, will you just shut up and watch the movie?" Percy yelled, and they shut up.

"What movie were you guys watching?" Piper asked. Percy thought for a minute before responding.

"Poltergeist (This movie made my mom scared to death of clowns when she was younger, and she always freaks out when she see's one. It's funny)

Annabeth paled.

"I made the mistake of watching that movie with you!" She shivered, and Percy laughed.

About five minutes later, lightning flashed and the power flickered off. The girls both screamed and grabbed who ever was close to them.

Annabeth growled, because Darcy grabbed Percy. Everyone slowly scooted away from her, besides Jason. He sat there, bored.

"Darcy, you're digging your claws into my skin." Percy moaned. "Before I start bleeding."

Darcy shook her head, and Percy sighed.

"Girls, calm down. Percy, where are the flash lights?" Dylan asked, trying to pry Jaxon off of him.

"How should I know? My mom moves them every time the power goes out. ya know how many times that happens? Once a week!" .... "But I do know where some candles are."

Percy moved into the kitchen, Darcy still clinging to him. He rummaged around one of the drawers and pulled out a lighter. Darcy took it, letting go of Percy.

"Good." Annabeth muttered, hand resting on her dagger. She was ready to stab the purple haired girl.

In the other room, Jaxon screamed. Percy grabbed the candles and swiftly pulled Darcy into the other room. Dylan lay on the floor, unconcious. His head was bleeding and Jaxon wouldn't stop screaming. She fainted, Percy barely managing to catch her.

"Help me put her on the couch." Darcy grabbed her feet, Percy keeping hold of her arms. They drapped her onto the couch, laying her head on the armrest. "We need to-" Percy started, being interupted by Darcy's screams.

"There's someone in the apartment Percy! Someone just moved in the hallway!" Darcy was close to fainting. She grabbed Percy's shirt and dug her face in his chest.

Annabeth had her dagger drawn, slowly standing up. (She seems a little jealous, don't ya think?)

"Don't be scared Darcy. I'll go check it out." Percy walked into the hallway, opening his and his mom's room. Finally, he got ready to open the hallway closet.

"Wait!" Darcy tried to stop him, but he stepped inside.

"See, there's no one but-AHH!" The door slammed shut, and Percy went quiet. Blood seeped under the doorway, and Darcy curled herself into a ball.

Percy was now having uncontrolable fits of laughter, laughing so hard he started to choke on air.

The closet door slowly opened, and a shadowy figure stepped out. They wore a mask, and Darcy looked up at them as they closed in on her. Blood was splattered all over them, and Darcy silently bid farewell to her parents.

The lights suddenly came back on, and the closet door opened again. Percy stepped out, holding several packets of fake blood. It was splattered all over his shirt, ruining it. Darcy realized he purposely poured it onto the floor. He pulled off the mystery person's mask, and blonde and blue curls seeped out.

"EMMERALD?" Darcy stood up. "THIS WAS ALL JUST A PRANK?!"

Jaxon and Dylan walked into the hallway, laughing their heads off. Jaxon also held a pack of fake blood, which she squirted on Dylan. Everyone besides Darcy gave each other high fives, saying 'You should've seen her face' and what not.

"I hate you guys!" she punched all of them.

"Percy was the master mind. I just went along with it to scare the pee out of you!"  The blonde girl grabbed Darcy.

Darcy slapped her hands away, turning on Percy. "You @$$ hole!" she shoved Percy, who fell into the closet.

The scene ended, and Percy rolled on the floor laughing.

"Best-" laugh "Halloween-" more laughter "ever!" Everyone stared at him as he started to crazily laugh.

A/N

So, as you can tell Darcy, Dylan, Emmerald, and Jaxon are OOC. They're Percy's best friends who can see through the mist. Cause they're just that awesome.
