《SEA GREEN MEETS GOLD (N.M. & P.J.)》Chapter 22: Darts and Hearts
Advertisement
The demigod and hybrid walked into Mystic Grill.
Percy walked up to the employee at the front. "Hey, can I place an order to go?"
"Sure. What can I get you?"
The raven haired beauty smiled. "A cheeseburger with fries. Oh! And a strawberry lemonade, please."
The employee nodded. "Alright, that'll be out soon."
"Thank you!"
Percy spotted the doppelgänger talking with the blue eyed Salvatore. She nudged the hybrid's arm and gestured to them. He nodded.
Damon and Elena were standing really close to each other as they flirted.
Is she dating Damon now?
They walked up to the pair.
"Don't mind me." The hybrid spoke with a smirk.
The two spun around. Elena looked frightened when she discovered who spoke. "Klaus."
Klaus noticed her fear and his smirk widened.
Damon stood in front of Elena protectively. "You're going to do this in the grill, in front of everyone? It's a little beneath you, don't you think?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. I just came down to my local pub to get Persephone something to eat." The hybrid replied.
At the mention of food, the demigod looked back in the direction of the kitchen longingly.
The doppelgänger glared coldly at Percy. She didn't understand why the demigod was acting so nonchalant about being with the hybrid.
Klaus directed his attention to the hybrid he brought with them. "Get a round, then, would you, Tony."
Tony walked off to get them drinks.
Klaus wrapped his arm around Percy's waist. The action caused the Salvatore to scoff.
Damon continued, "I'm surprised you stuck around town long enough for happy hour." After speaking to Klaus, he gave Percy a cold look.
The demigod, however, was just thinking about food.
Klaus responded, "My sister seems to be missing. Need to sort that out."
"Cute, blond, bombshell, psycho? Shouldn't be too hard to find." The blue eyed vampire commented.
Klaus let go of Percy's waist to step toward the two threateningly. "Truth is, I've grown to rather like your little town. Thinking I might fancy a home here."
Percy stopped paying attention to the conversation, when a waiter arrived with her food. The sea green eyed girl payed for the meal and grabbed the bag.
"Thank you."
She pulled out the strawberry lemonade and a straw. She began hitting the straw against a nearby table to get the paper wrapping off.

The three people conversing momentarily stopped, to look over at her. Klaus smiled in amusement.
He glanced back at the doppelgänger. "You can tell me where I might find Stefan."
Percy called out, "You mean, Stefano." She continued trying to get the paper covering off the straw.
How strong can a piece of paper be?
"Of course, love. My apologies." Klaus said with a smirk.
"Stefan skipped town the second he saved your ass." Damon replied for Elena.
Klaus turned around. "Well, you see, that is a shame." The hybrid threw a dart at the dart board.
Elena flinched slightly.
Percy stopped trying to get the straw out when she heard the sound. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the darts.
She forgot about what she was doing and walked up to get some off the stabby objects. Klaus continued talking, "Your brother stole from me. I need him found so I can take back what's mine."
Percy threw a dart at the board and it landed in the bullseye, right next Klaus's.
The doppelgänger sent the demigod a weirded-out look. She shook her head disapprovingly and looked back at Klaus. "That sounds like a Klaus and Stefan problem."
The hybrid walked towards Elena threateningly, as Percy threw more darts.
Once again, Damon stepped in front of Elena protectively. Klaus chuckled humorlessly. "Well this is me broadening the scope, sweetheart."
After sending a devilish smirk at the pair, he walked back over to where Percy left her food.
He glanced at the demigod. "Percy, love."
She turned around, "What's up?"
Klaus gestured to the meal.
Her eyes widened as excitement filled her again. "Oh! Food!"
She had forgotten about it when she got distracted by the darts.
Once something left her direct line of sight, she usually forgot about it. Her ADHD made it difficult to stay focused on things.
She walked towards him. He ripped the piece of paper off the straw and placed it in the drink for her.
Percy smiled a bit at the action. She didn't think of that.
He picked up the bag and turned to her. "You ready to go, love?"
The demigod nodded.
He smiled in amusement. "Are you taking the darts?"
She looked down to see that she was still holding a bunch of darts in her hand.
Dang.
She set them down on the table and grinned at him. "Okay, let's go."

Percy sipped her straw and the hybrid wrapped his arm around her shoulders, leading them out of the restaurant.
Elena and Damon watched in disbelief. The Salvatore's eyebrows furrowed. "What the hell was that?"
The brunette shook her head.
"Percy's not on our side. She's bad news, Damon."
••••••
The sea green eyed girl was jogging through the neighborhood. Percy spotted someone standing in the middle to the street.
She frowned slightly and sped up. A door to the house next to her opened and Elena and Alaric rushed out.
A black car turned a corner up ahead, and began speeding way past the speed limit. The vehicle was directed at the person in the street.
Percy sprinted to the guy and recognized it was Jeremy. Alaric and Elena ran towards him too.
"Jeremy!" The history teacher yelled out.
Elena added, "Jeremy! Jeremy move!"
The demigod was quickly approaching the Gilbert. Alaric was right behind her.
Right before the car could hit the boy, Percy shoved him out of the way. They both tumbled to the ground, the car just missing them by inches.
A loud sound of something heavy crashing against metal was heard. The demigod spun around to see Alaric on the ground.
Percy ran towards the history teacher. The doppelgänger did the same. The raven haired girl flipped over Alaric. He was dead.
The black car came to a stop. One of Klaus's hybrid's lowered the window. "There I go again, bumping into people."
Percy glared at the guy. He sped off again in his car.
Elena picked up Alaric's hand, to see his ring. She sighed in relief. He was going to be okay.
Jeremy pushed himself off the ground and ran to Alaric's side also.
"He's going to be alright. Are you ok?" The doppelgänger asked worriedly.
Jeremy looked back and forth between the two girls. "I don't understand."
"Who was that on the phone earlier?" Elena questioned her brother.
The Gilbert responded, "It was Klaus."
"That jackass." Percy muttered.
Elena glanced over at the demigod before looking back at Jeremy. "You were compelled, Jeremy."
Percy looked at Alaric. "Okay, we need to get him inside."
The doppelgänger furrowed her eyebrows. "Whose side are you on?"
The demigod pulled the history teacher off of the ground and held him up. "I'm on the side that prevents everyone from killing each other. Cool? Cool."
She started walking towards the Gilbert house, Alaric in her arms. Jeremy was surprised by her strength. "Do you need some help with that?"
"Nope."
Elena opened the door for Percy. The green eyed girl set Alaric down on the couch.
"Now, what?"
••••••••••
Damon arrived at the Gilbert house. "How is he?"
"He's dead. But he had his ring." Percy replied.
The Salvatore scoffed when he saw the demigod.
Elena added, "Klaus's hybrid hit him. Now we just wait."
Damon nodded and looked at Percy. "So, are you playing both sides now?" He asked coldly.
"You know, I have a question. Were you all apart of the plan of Mikael using me as bait?" The raven haired beauty spoke, her face void of emotion.
Damon replied, "Well, yeah. But it's probably a good thing we didn't tell you, because you chose team Klaus."
The demigod's eyes narrowed slightly. "You wanted to use his own step father against him."
"Who cares? All Klaus does is cause us more problems." He spoke angrily and stepped closer to her threateningly.
Percy's gaze hardened. "So, that gives you the right to use others for your own gain?"
"He's the bad guy, Percy! I get that he's brainwashed you into thinking he's not." He stepped closer to her. "But you need to stop letting your teenage hormones get in the way when some guy gives you attention."
Something in the atmosphere changed. Percy raised her chin up and her eyes resembled dark waves. It was the harsh, dangerous type of waters that destroyed anything that dared enter the current. Her face, however, remained impassive.
Her hand shot into his chest and felt his heart. Her eyes did not leave his.
"Percy! Stop!" Elena pleaded.
The demigod ignored her. Damon tried to move his hand to stop her but he couldn't. Her grip tightened on his heart.
Percy leaned in closer. Mockingly, she asked, "Oh. Are my hormones getting in the way?"
The vampire looked worried for a moment. He had the feeling that she was capable of things he couldn't even imagine.
She let go of her hold on him. "Don't speak to me like that again." Power radiated off of her.
The raven haired beauty walked right out of the house. The people in the room stood in shock.
•••
Dang.
Anyways, Percy's an icon.
I know my update schedule has not been reliable. But, here is another chappie.
Thoughts or suggestions?

Keepers of the Neeft
The Indigo Empire has conquered half the world’s nations, their people, and their gods. According to its citizens, old and new, the rest of the world will follow. In the capital of the Throne-home, the Imperial Academy produces the next generation of great leaders to drive that expansion. Cadryn Bence knows he will be one such leader, he’s overcome his common birth, mixed heritage, and every other obstacle to be the top of his class. He dreams of glory on the southern front against the Gravanik States. He will not be finding it. Instead, if the glory he expects. Far to the north, lies the unassumingly named North-Eastern Extreme Frontier Tower, a backwater post if ever there were one. Through the machinations of the Emperor’s state religion, and a cult within it, Cadryn will find himself on his way to this first assignment. On the frontier, Cadryn will discover that neither his campions, nor the Neeft itself, are what he expects. Follow Cadryn on his journey to discover many truths: about himself, about the Empire, and about the very world he call home. ****** Keepers of the Neeft is a (bit dark) fantasy story revolving around Cadryn and his journey of discovery. There’s a fairly wide cast of supporting characters (his fellow Keepers) all with their own reasons and motivations behind how they came to be at the Neeft. Current release plan is to have part 2 completed, then fully edit up till the end of part 2. I am in the process of editing the earlier content as I complete the updates/re-writes. Apologies for any rough content in the meantime. My primary objective with Keepers of the Neeft is to work on developing content flow and establishing a community of people who enjoy my writing style. I write SF/F and horror as my primary genres, Keepers is actually my 3rd novel length work, but my current project. Updates of new Content will currently be in the form of one larger post on Tuesdays.
