Percy

I have known him for a long time. Our moms worked together for a long time. I knew he had issues, of course I did. But I never thought it would involve murder.

I don't think I believe it. It's like the day after your best friend leaves. You know they are gone, but you don't want to believe it.

It's surreal.

And murder, death even, has always felt so far away.

I am just gonna confront him. Let him make up an excuse and just try to trust him.

School could not get any worse. Two freak outs already. This is crazy I miss wise girl, and Thalia, and nico. And with my recent issues the nightmares have come back. Just great.

And then suddenly...

<Emma pov>
I slam Percy against the lockers. I have never been a violent person, but I have never feared for my friends life. Or mine for that matter.

"What are you," I growl at him. He goes pale. His eyes dart around looking for an escape.

"W-what," he stammers.

"Have you ever hurt anyone?" I was practically crying now.

"Emma, what's gotten into you?" He asks, not answering my question.

"I heard you, truth or dare," I look of comprehension darts across his face. He waves his hand and says

"You don't re-" what am I doing. What the heck! What is going on with Percy. Why do I have him pressed against the lockers?

<Percy pov>

I used the mist. I hope it worked. I am not as good with it as Thalia is but I think it worked.

On a more pressing. Note we leave for Seattle in 3 days and I still get nightmares every night.

Okay. That's it.
