A/N One of my first fics, I know it's not that good, so you can skip to the later ones. You never know, you might find something you like. ;) Enjoy


"Thump, Thump," was all you could hear at three A.M. in San Francisco. This annoying noise was the sound of my feet angrily stomping down the deserted streets. I wasn't sure where I was going, but all I knew was that I had to leave.

Usually, I would have tried to not make any noise and raise suspicion, but everyone was asleep. I was all alone. Not even Annabeth was with me. Annabeth… How could she not run away with me? After all we had been through? We always stuck together! I know I abandoned her and went to Kronos, but I've changed. My loyalties lie with Camp Half-Blood now… and Annabeth. I had tried to convince her of this and to run away with me before it was too late. But she questioned my sincerity and said no.

I tried to convince her I was different now, and realized what a huge mistake I made. All she did was laugh in my face and tell me how shallow I was for abandoning my family just to get power. Shallow… that's what I am alright. How could I do this…? How could I betray my friends and family? I wish someone would find me and realize that I don't want this anymore. This power, this revenge, this selfishness. I miss my friends and family! I miss Thalia and Annabeth. I want to be good again. I am good. But until someone realizes this, I walk alone.
