She didnt remember exactly what she was running from.
She didnt remember exactly why.
All she knew was that she was in danger.
Annabeth never wondered why she had night mares. She knew the answer, as usual. She was a demigod.
Her mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Her father was Frederic Chase, a history professer in Virginia. She had two half siblings (that she had met) and an irrational fear of spiders.
That was her mothers fault. She knew the story of Arachne- how her pride had gotten her killed, and her descendants had sworn revenge on Athenas children.
Annabeth may have been only seven, but she knew that she had to find a place to hide from them.
Her family thought she was just a crazy little girl, and she knew they didnt want her. So one night, she packed a bag, stole a hammer, and climbed out her window.
Then she met Luke and Thalia.
She thought that Luke was nicest boy she had ever met, and the bravest.
She thought that Thalia could defeat anything.
A few months later, when Grover finally got them to camp, Thalia died fighting.
Five years after that, Luke turned out to be a traitor.
And she discovered that the family that didnt want her had been missing the one little girl they had.
She had been proven wrong too many times to risk being proven wrong again.
And thats why she kept her crush on Percy Jackson a secret...
