Daughter Of Chaos

CHAPTER 10: Questions being answered and new discoveries

Percy POV

I ran to the kitchen to see Nattie and she was sitting on the counter eating pancakes with her back towards me. I came from behind and gave her a hug, "Percy." She breathed "Hallo." I greeted and she smiled. "What happened to you last night, you gave us all a fright?" I asked and her smile fell.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it." I said quickly and she continued to eat her pancake. It was quite an awkward moment for me because I did not know what to say next. "I have a feeling you already know but you just need a detailed explanation from me." She said then continued to eat.

"Then tell me, to see if I was right about my assumption." I begged. "Tell me what your assumption was then I will correct you if you are wrong." She said. "It's something to do with your dad isn't it?" I asked and she nodded sadly. She then jumped off from the counter and went to go sit on a chair by the eating table. I followed her and sat next to her. "Talk to me about it then maybe I can help you feel better." I said naggingly.

"So you can go tell my mother? She can't know or else she will be hurt, that's why I have to keep it to myself, she will feel bad about not telling me anything about my father. She said I would meet him one day and I will wait for that day to come." She explained. "No, I will keep it between us if it will hurt your mom." I answered while taking her hand, and she breathed.

She placed her arm on the table and placed her head on top of it. "Percy." She whispered. "Yes." I answered. "I- I s-sometimes feel like a b-b- bastard child of my father. I mean he loves my mother but he was not expecting me in his life." She said as she began crying. I hugged her and she cried on my shoulder, "Shh, don't cry. Your mom said you will meet your dad one day right. Trust her." I hushed her and stroked her back.

"What if he does not want to meet me." She said while still crying. "Trust me he will meet you." I breathed now thinking about the situation with my father. I can't even spend time with him and it is very hard to even try and meet him. "You guys, can you come here for a sec!" Aunt Christie called from the lounge and Nattie and I walked to everybody. "You guys wanna go grocery shopping?" Aunt Christie asked.

"I don't feel like going, but you all can go- I don't think I would be able to stand for long." Nattie answered. "Would you like me to get you anything?" Aunt Christie asked. "Well some peaches and strawberries please. And a lot of apple juice." She answered and her mom nodded. "I am gonna stay here too." I said. "Yeah me too." Jack said and the parents left for grocery shopping. Natasha sat down on the couch and watched TV. This was really unlike her- to ask for healthy food.

While we were in the middle of the movie Jack stood up and asked if anyone wanted hot chocolate and Nattie and I both agreed. When jack handed us our hot chocolate we thanked him. Nattie was about to drink the chocolate but then she stopped, "What's wrong?" Jack asked. "Sorry Jack but I don't think I am able to drink this, just the smell of it is making me sick. I am really sorry." She apologised sadly. After a while she looked like she was sleepy so I told her to rest her head on my lap. A few minutes later she began mumbling, "Dad, dad, dad." She called out and Jack and I stared at her.

"Dad please don't leave me, I have got a chance to finally speak to you and you want to leave me- please don't leave me. Wait! You said you love me then why do you always come here when I am not around?" She mumbled now beginning to cry. It made me so sad to see her like this. I had the answers to all her questions but I couldn't tell her.

"Wait, dad don't leave. I won't ask again. Dad!" She screamed then she suddenly jerked awake and we looked at her apologetically. She roughly wiped her tears away and ran upstairs to her room and Jack and I followed her. "Nattie open the door." Jack begged. "No, I can't let you see me like this, it's unfair to you guys." She cried.
