“Stop struggling girl!” Thorn said as he slapped me (lol). I bit my lip to avoid screaming, but it still sounded like a very, very pain filled grunt. It felt like he just hit me in the face with a brick. Nico stood paralyzed. I cursed under my breath; I almost wished I had yelled for him to run while Thorn pulverized me. Thorn positioned us at the end of the main entry hall. He hid in the shadows. They door opened. The cute guy form the dance came in. He advanced slowly and lowered his sword. NO!!!
“It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you,” he said… yeah but if he didn’t get us out of here quick Thorn has going to “hurt” us all. “My name’s Percy. I’m going to take you out of here, get you somewhere safe,” I clenched my fist, wishing to say something like ‘That’s nice and all, but we’re all going to die if you don’t turn around RIGHT NOW!’
He finally turned around, but to late. Thorn slammed him into the wall, (srry, I wasn’t really sure what happened at that part) and laughed coldly.
“Yes, Perseus Jackson,” He said, but Dr. Thorn pronounced his J like in Jaques. “I know who you are.”
He struggled as Thorn came out of the shadows. I gasped; his teeth were sharp and perfectly white. “Thank you for coming out of the gym,” he said, “I hate middle school dances.” Percy swung his sword again but Thorn stepped out of reach.
I yelped. A giant thorn impaled itself into the wall an inch from my face. Thorn said something but didn’t listen because the only thing running through my mind was ‘OMFG I’M GOING TO DIE! I’M GOING TO DIE! I’M GUNNA DIE!!!!!!!!!’
I walked silently and stared at the ground, “What are you doing Jackson!” hissed Dr. Thorn, “Keep moving!” Dr. Thorn would always watch Nico and me while we ate or where in classes. I never really thought he was some kind of psychopathic monster.
“It’s my shoulder. It burns.” I looked up at him; he was probably freezing to death by now.
“Bah! My poison causes pain it will not kill you. Walk!” Wait! Time out! Poison?! Thorn pushed us out the door. He herded us into the woods
“There is a clearing ahead,” he said. “We will summon your ride.”
“What ride?” I demanded. “Where are you taking us?!”
“Silence, you insufferable girl!” He said angrily.
“Don’t talk to my sister that way!” Nico said, but his voice quivered. Thorn growled. He was defiantly not human/
