Percy

I looked at my necklace. I gripped it for a second. Emma's hand was still out and she looked annoyed from holding her hand out for the past Miniute and a half.

"C'mon. It's just a necklace. You don't even have to do anything dirty just give it to me. It's a fair price for the information you want." She said.

I knew she was right, but it wasn't just a neckless it was my neckless that I had since I was 12 years old with all the quests I had acomplsihed on the beads. Even though they all betrayed me, I still kept this because. . . because . . . I paused.

Why did I keep it in the first place. There has to be a reason right? They betrayed me and belived a stupid lie and it was all because of her. How could they trust her, how could I have trusted her. She played us all. She got them to belive I was a tratior.

I pulled the neckless from my neck and placed it on her hand.

"Take. It. It's just a stupid neckless"
I mumbled.

"You sure took your time, was it that important to you" She asked.

"Not anymore." I closed the conversation.

She put it in her pouch

"So tell me where is he"

She leanes back in her seat.

" He is here and Knowhere. Close by yet unknown. Seen yet hidden. Recognizable yet changed. Normal yet different."

"Seriously a Riddle?" I exclaimed angrily.

Emma just laughed
"You must be already used to it" she leaned in "Percy Jackson."

My eyes widened. I couldn't look away. Was she a monster? No. She-It- would have attacked me by now.
Emma's voice changed, it wasn't one voice but 3 different voices. They were so firmilar.
"You can never run from fate" All three voices say in sync like Emma was controlled.

I turned and looked around the bar and I saw three woman standing in the cornor. I never noticed them before ,One was holding thread and the other one Cut the thread.

Snip.

It seemed to echo in my brain.
"You can never hide" There voices rang

"Hello!!! Yo! Percy. Wake up!"

I shot up! No one was in the bar. It was dark except for some lamps that flickered on and off. I blinked my eyes a couple of times and my vision was cleared. Ben was beside me

"Finnaly you woke up."

"What happened" my voice croaked.

"You fell asleep right after you came back from Emma's table. Everyone left though."

I gripped my head.

Was it all just a dream

I saw that Barbie was cleaning up all the counters.

"C'mon. We can sleep here for the night, Upstairs I mean. Right Barbie?"

Barbie looked up.
"Yes. You can."

***

The room upstairs was small instead of beds there were mats. It was dark but there was a window where light came from, I lied down on the mat. Covered myself and tried to fall asleep but after what happened today. The fates. The string,my necklace, was it anothor propehcy that I am apart of?
Do they even think that I am dead? I tried every thing to just be . . . normal. I can't I just can't.
