*YAWNNNN* sorry I'm like really really really tried........y? IDEK. YYY GAH

Leo and Percy kept their steady pace dashing through the hallways in hopes of beating the after school activity rush out. To escape before Paul could confront them. Or anyone else for that matter, seeing as their clothes were torn open. Checking in opposite directions over their shoulders, they scanned the deserted hallway and found it thankfully, well deserted. 

They immediately turned their attention back to their locker and twisted the comb, almost frantically. It cracked open within a few seconds. They simultaneously grabbed their 7 year old back packs and stuffed their ripped binders into the faded fabric. Shoving it into the sack until it was swallowed completely by the backpack. They then slammed the locker doors shut and ran off, tearing through the halls. They reached the doors and slammed them open, then kept running. They were like an hour late. G&G were going to kill them. Literally. Their feet pounded against the concrete. They reached the apartments a good half hour later, and crashed down in the grass. Catching their breath, they stayed there for a few minutes. Finally, they shared a look and both got up. Supporting eachother, they began a stealthy stride to the house. They walked in the door and turned to the two doors. Backs facing each other, they walked in to their personal tortures. 

Percy paused on the way in, he glanced at the window to look at ms. House next door. Mentally he debated whether or not to go get his siblings, but then he realized, he was oh trying to stall, also bringing them in now... Would be deadly, they enjoined ms s house anyways. They could actually grow up there. So he took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Leo had entered his a minute ago. Yet no screams had emerged yet.

Percy pov

I walked in the door. Silence. Good or bad sign? I really don't know. I walked deeper into the destroyed house. My steps careful and silent. I was practically dancing just to avoid the trash and clothes and whatever else that was unceremoniously strewn across the dirt, blood and everything stained carpet. I searched the living room, his room, my 'room' aka a small office space with a thin, worn, blood stained twin mattress in one corner and a dresser diagonal it, and the bathroom before I found him. 

Well, them, I should say. Slumped in all four tattered wooden chairs, that circled the scratched wood table (circular), as if closing in for the kill, were Gabe, Grant, and two of their buddies, Patrick and Eddie. All out like lights, on the kitchen table. Almost a hundred bottles of beer surrounded them, and I had to force the puke down at the smell. I take one last glance around the  kitchen that had defiantly seen way better days, before spinning on a heel and ninja-ing my way out of the room. I went right out the door and into Leo's part. Upon entering, I practicality crash into the said kid. Leo takes one look at me and says 

"Oh, they had one of those days, didn't they?" 

Knowing what he meant instantly, I sighed and nodded. There was no avoiding it. We were in for probably one of the third harshest beatings of our lives. You see, the thing is, when ever they have these party's we're stuck. When they wake up they are always grouchy, so it's a hard beating on the kid present. If they are at my house and Leo doesn't come over, they'll probably beat me to death, and vice versa. But, if we are both at the house we'll both get beaten within a few inches of our lives. If we weren't in either house, well. We would be doomed. They would find us. And they would kill us. So, three options. Me dying. Us both getting beat up really badly . Us both eventually dying. By eventually, I mean some time this year, cause yes we will eventually die with or without those creeps help. I sighed lightly, and grasped Leo's hand. I yanked us out the door of his apartment, and into the hall. Then I sat down. He joined me. Releasing his hand, I flopped down onto the carpet, moaning. Leo followed suit and flopped down next to me. He looked up and said 

"Honestly, this sucks. I don't know how much longer I can do this."

"Me either, I just hold on for you, and my siblings. Maybe my cousins. Those are probably all the people who would miss me. A little." 

Leo laughed without humor. "Same here, except I doubt your cousins will miss me even a little."

"Oh well. I just really don't want to hurt anyone. That's pretty sad. The reason I want to die is everyone around me hurts me but I don't want to die so I won't hurt them."

"Story of my life bro. But I wouldn't mind hurting G&G a little. Unfortunately, us dying wouldn't hurt them." 

"Yeah." I said as I closed my eyes. We lapsed into a comfortable silence. I sat up fast as a thought struck me. Leo slowly sat up too, looking at me questioningly 

"What?" He asked

"We should go pick up Tyson and Ella before we get beat up."

He nodded. We got all the way up so that we could go then helped me up. As we were about to walk through the door, he froze. I froze. "What?" I asked this time. 

"He gestured with wide eyes to my stomach and his leg. Oh the rips. That was close. I silently ohed and onsilent agreement we walked back into his half of the house. He grabbed a new pair of sweat pants and a baggy tee shirt for me. We were practically brothers so we didn't care as we stripped off the torn clothing and slipped on the new ones.  We then walked back to the door and crept out of it and down the sidewalk to ms. Hestia's house. When we came to the door, Leo knocked softly twice and I, softly once. It was our code of sorts. She always knew it was us that way. When she came to the door, she was holding a sleeping kid in each hand. I smiled and she smiled softly back. She handed me Ella and Tyson to Leo. 

"Thank you so much." I whispered 

"No problem " she whispered back "they are very kind kids, no problems. You guys should really report those men to CPS though" she said frowning 

I felt my jaw drop. I almost dropped Ella. Leo stumbled next to me before righting himself. 

"Wha? What. How?" I asked in a confused whisper. 

She smiled sadly, "I could hear screaming and watchhed you guys run away into the forest bloody sometimes. I put two and two together. And got Tobias Eaton,(A/N DIVERGENT ANYONE ;3) so then I was confused. so I put him and himself together and understood. Do you guys want to stay here tonight?"

I looked shocked at Leo who looked merely confused. He looked at her and said " Tobias Eaton?"

I moaned softly and said " I will have to pass on that offer, but will you keep the twins tonight?" I asked hopeful. She smiled sadly again and nodded yes. I grinned, kissing Ellla lightly on the forehead I handed her back over she walked in the house to set Ella back down on her bed, then came back for Tyson. I lifted him from Leo's arms and kissed his forehead. Then she whispered "good luck" and disappeared into the house for the second time. This time the door shut behind her. Leo and I looked back at each other before sprinting back to our house. We sat down in the hallway and i sighed in relief when none of the men woke up. The house remained silent. Leo frowned 

"So much for 'secret' besides us and G,G . Two people know! " 

I had a bad feeling that this would end badly, with a lot more people knowing.

What i didn't know was that three people knew. And that, as usual, I has no clue how right I was.

Ok so, get this. Oh typed this chapter up and tried to post it. It wouldn't let me so I copied and pasted the work to my email sent it to my other email.
