RosettaQueen guessed my name correctly!!! Well done and thank you for all the votes

Good job to all the others for good guesses (Heaps of Riley's) but my name is

Sarah

After our delicious feast, we decided to have a walk around the gardens before I went to visit Sally

"And then he got up and told me I wasn't doing a good enough job. I'm only 17! How am I supposed to know what to do when someone threatens the country"

"Well Mr D doesn't like you, we all know that"

Percy put a hand on his forehead "And he keeps calling me Peter Johnson. How hard is it to remember Percy Jackson?"

"And he calls me Anniebelle Face"

"And that shirt he wears under his suit jacket. Makes my eyes bleed"

"You know, I got a letter from dad and Malcolm"

He turned to face me "You did?"

"Yeah, they both said they were proud of me making such a big decision and blah blah blah. Dad said he'll most likely be another 2 weeks" Percy nodded "And he also threatened you"

Percy turned his head to me "Why?"

"He said that if you hurt me you" I tried to imitate my dad's voice "Won't see tomorrow"

Percy rubbed circles on the back of my hand "And why would I hurt you?"

I shrugged

"I won't" He promised

We continued walking in comfortable silence when the squeak of the front gate and the sound of wheels on the driveway caught our attention

Percy pointed over to a car that was pulling into the long driveway

"Wonder who that is"

I looked over at the car. It was one of the royals sleek black ones. Guest's from foreign countries and other people who visited the palace rode in these types of cars. I've been in one multiple times, mainly to go to the airport. They had comfy leather seats and a mini-fridge filled with all sorts of drinks

"Expecting anyone?"

He shook his head

"Did you have a meeting today?" I asked

He shook his head again "I asked Paul if he needed me today but he said to spend the whole day with you. Do you think their hiding something from me?"

I shrugged my shoulders "I don't know. Why did your mum want to see me before dinner?"

"Don't know"

We stared at the car until it got to the front gates. One door opened and a girl got out. The other opened and a man got out

I squinted my eyes and looked closer at them to see if I could recognise them

From a far distance away I could tell that the man had blonde hair, his build was familiar and he was wearing jeans and a grey long sleeve shirt. The women, who were now holding his hand, had her light brown hair down and a small white dress on. She too looked familiar

"Is that Malcolm?"

Percy squinted as well "It looks like him"

I turned to him "Why would my brother be here? Wouldn't he have called and told me he was coming?"
