They Want Her!

Chapter Hundred-Twelve – They Want Her!

Percy's POV

I didn't need anyone to tell me that I was acting strangely around the little miss, but even I couldn't control it. Since she turned down my offer to go shopping again, I felt distant from her. Rejection didn't sit well with me, or was it I who didn't handle rejection well?

Yet, I knew I had to tell her about the situation myself. I watched her leave the room with determined steps and panicked slightly. Normally, she would break down or ask me what we should do next, but she didn't. She seemed to know what to do, and I would usually be happy about her growth, but I also wanted her to trust me.

"What am I saying?" I buried my head in my hands. "I couldn't even help her here. This one was beyond me."

I hadn't expected them to burn the bodies and had only considered the time it would take them to transplant them into another living host. They were more twisted than I imagined.
