NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: Finally
As I was dissipating from the Whiteones throne room I saw them looking at me. Both having soft and kind smiles on their faces and then I knew. Regardless of what would happen from here on out, regardless of what would happen to me, I would never be able to truly hate them. They could have been unkind, brutal and unconsiderate but they chose not to. Should our paths ever cross again, I would thank them and I was determined to do so. Nothing would change my mind on this.
I was plunged into darkness when the last fragments of light left me. But the scene soon changed again. Suddenly I was passing through the nightsky. There were stars and galaxies everywhere. I soon began to feel tired and my eyes began to close but the last thing I saw was the moon. It was big, beautiful and pale. It gave me the feeling of grace and coldness.
Suddenly I was startled awake. The room was unfamiliar then a headache overcame me. Memories started playing in my mind like an unwelcome movie.
My name was now Percy Jackson. The son of Sally Jackson and an unknown man. I had a stepfather by the name of Gabe Ugliano, aka Smelly Gabe. More memories appeared. Amongst them was a specific one. Apparently I had once seen him hit my mother.
It's decided, I will kill him. There was no hesitation, he hit my mother, he hit her and he was going to regret it.
Someone had appeared in the room and was apparently checking my temperature. Must be the school nurse. "Go and rest some more child, you need it." she said after which she left the room.
It must have been just minutes after she left, but my body started to feel like it was burning. I stood up in pain and with unsure footing to move to the bathroom. There was a bathtube inside which I started to fill. Maybe the water would help with getting rid of the pain. I stepped inside once the water was high enough. The water was warm and comfortable. The headache lessen significantly and then I submerged my head. It was over as soon as I did.
