That's how long it's been since I've had a home. How long I have been chased. How long since I killed her. Killed the woman who killed my father. The woman who made my life hell since I was 7. I drink a toast. I remember.
I remember the wedding, my hope thinking that I would finally have a mother. My own died when I was a baby. It was just me and dad. I felt her hand connect with my cheek. The shattering of my illusion. The tears drip down my face. My father looking the other way. The first time she had hit me.
It had started with ordering more around, nasty looks in my direction. Then at twelve my father died. He was hit by a car while running an errand, for her. He died hating me.
She started bringing the men. they did things to me, violated me. when they left she would hit me. I was her punching bag. She blamed me. I broke. It took me 4 years but I snapped. She was hitting me, blaming me, going to give me another scar. I took the knife from her and stabbed her. Felt her warm life's blood pour over my hands. Felt her body still. I grabbed my things. Some money, I withdrew more from the bank. And I ran. I ran without thinking about my brothers, who found her body.
I just ran.
I've been running for ten years and I just want to stop. But if I stop HE will find me. But Percy Jackson had better watch out. No one catches me.
Yet I'm tired, so tired of running. And I'm afraid I'll fall. And I'm afraid he'll catch me.
I've run for ten years and I want to stop.
But I can't.
Percy's POV
6 years.
314 weeks.
2,192 days.
52,595 hours.
3,155,693 minutes.
Since I was 21.
That's how long I've chased her. How long I've been chasing, Annabeth Chase. The woman who killed her step mom at 16.
Who's been running for ten years. It doesn't matter. She will make a mistake. And when she does I will catch her.
Because running wears you down and tires you out.
And no one can run that long without falling.
