The Diary of Annabeth Chase

Hello, humans! This is a diary Annabeth wrote while on her adventures. It starts when she runs away and ends sometime at Camp Half-blood. So, without further ado (love that word!), here is The Diary of Annabeth Chase.

-February 15 4:35 pm

Hello. My name is Annabeth Chase, and I'm seven. I live with my father, my step-mother, and my two super annoying half-brothers, Bobby and Matthew.

I really don't know why I'm writing this. I guess it just feels good to talk to somebody who'll listen to me. My father is always busy working, and my step-mother hates me. My brothers always cry whenever I walk into a room, which gets me into even more trouble.

So you, my sweet diary, are the only person I can talk to.

My life has always been rough. I never knew my mother, so I was raised by my father alone. But, when I had just turned five, my father got married. My new step-mother immediately hated me, so I just tried to stay out of her way.

Then, my brothers came. Those two boys are the worst! They always cry whenever they see me, and they get more attention than I ever got. It's so unfair!

So, I've had to survive two awful years with these people I'm supposed to call my family.

Right now, I'm in my room, trying to avoid having to make dinner, again. My mother makes me cook whenever she can, but I just burn everything, so she punishes me. Life is so unfair.

I've thought about running away so many times, mostly because of the monsters.

See, there are these strange creatures that come right out of the Greek myths I love to read. The always try to attack me and my family, so that creates controversy. Usually, I just whack them with my father's hammer, and they turn into dust.

Oh no, my mother just called me to cook dinner, again. Wish me luck!

I did it! For once in my entire life, I didn't burn dinner!

I guess it was pretty easy. Normally, my dyslexia causes me to misread the directions, but it didn't seem to bother me today! I cooked the pizza perfectly, and even my step-mother had to compliment me!

So anyway, as soon as I had finished washing the dishes, I ran up to my room before I was ordered to do more chores. Right now I'm sitting on my bed in my bright blue pajamas, writing in you, my dear diary.

I've had a weird feeling ever since this morning. It's like someone is calling me. It so weird.

I'm so sorry for stopping so abruptly, but my brothers, who just learned how to walk, decided to stumble into my room, and then cry. And cry. And cry.

So, now I'm confined to my room for the rest of the evening. I guess it doesn't matter, because I have my iPod and my cellphone, so I'll be just fine.

Also, I'm in major trouble again because some weird monster tried to kill us again. It had two weird snakes for legs and it was super ugly.

I was taking out the trash when it attacked me. I was lucky that there was a rake leaning against the house, or else I would have been giant snake-woman chow.

My mother saw the entire thing, yet she didn't thank me for my bravery. She grounded me, but at least she didn't confiscate everything fun in my room.

Oh, my father is yelling at me to go to sleep. Well, goodnight!

That was it! I'm sorry if it was a little short, but I didn't want to give away too much in one chapter. I already do have quite a few more entries written, but I won't post anything more until I get reviews. Remember, anyone can review! Thank you for reading!
