A girl about nine years old and an old woman walked hand in hand along Central Park. The little girl sang and seemed very happy while her companion was obviously nervous and she always looked around as if she expected an ambush. Finally, after hours of walking, the woman spotted a white van. She smiled in relief and turned to the little girl. " Annabeth, I want you to stay here and don't talk to anyone. Understand?"The little girl nodded though she seemed confused by the way her nanny was acting. The old woman smiled at the girl and walked towards the van.

The driver got out of the van and approached the woman. "Is she with you?" He whispered nervously. The woman nodded. Seeing the look on the man's face made her gulp because he never saw him like this. He's usually easy-going. Anyway, the woman hurried back to the girl and told her that they are going for a ride in the van. The girl cheered and dragged the old woman towards the van.

Even though you are the most level-headed nine-year old kid I know, The woman thought. you'll always have a carefree attitude I know you have.

After a few hours of screaming, crying and questions inside the van, Little Annabeth's 'bodyguards' were somewhere along the line of almost pissed or very,very pissed. She demands to know everything-especially her nanny's condition and to where are they taking her. They never answered her of course. But they admitted that the girl's intelligence and manipulating skills were better than a nine-year old's. At one point they asked her name but she answered, "Don't you think its unfair that you'll know my name but I'll never get any information from you?" They kept arguing but fortunately the girl fell asleep when they passed 'The Border'.

When they passed 'The Border' wide grins spread across the guards and driver's mouths. The girl is safe and they can finally drop her off but these hopes vanished when they spotted a black Limousine fifty feet away.

The driver climbed out of the van and asked Justin, the guard, to go with him and asked Jade,the other guard, to stay with the girl. Jade didn't look happy but she didn't say anything.

The driver and Justin went to the Limo's direction and they confronted the owner.

"Well, well, I suppose the girl is with you, huh?" The Limo man said. No one knows his real name but Justin likes to call him the 'Dark Lord' as a proof of his obsession to Harry Potter.

Justin smirked and said, "If she's with us, we won't stop here and talk to you. We'll just drive away and crash your stupid Limo." Dark Lord snarled at him. He whistled and within seconds they were surrounded by what Justin thinks were his minions. His minions pulled out their guns and aimed it at them.

Inside the van, the girl just woke up and immediately looked around her surroundings. Jade scowled and blew her hair out of her face. She was really annoyed that her dad had picked her brother Justin over her. While this thought floated inside her head the girl muttered,"Where am I?" Jade broke out from her trance and looked at the girl, "Well, you're still on the van but we're stopping because there's a little prob-" She didn't finish the sentence because the next thing she knew she was out of the van and running towards the sound of gunfire.

"Dad! Justin!" Jade cried. "Are you alright?"

She heard her dad shout back,"Jade,go back to the van and leave!" "But-"she replied
"NO BUTS!" Justin shouted. Now, if the situation isn't as serious as this she would never listen to his brother so she just nodded.

When Jade fled the van, she didn't realize that the girl would be left and there will be a possibility that she would run away. When Jade was out of sight, Annabeth jumped out of the van and ran towards the nearest tree. She has to get away with those people. They aren't bad but they aren't good either. Her parents and nanny always say that she couldn't talk to strangers let alone trust them. As she was scanning the area for a proper hiding place she saw that there was an army of men in black circling two men that were with her inside the van. Another man was outside of the circle chuckling but it wasn't humorous. She guessed that he is their leader. Annabeth backed up little by little until she bumped into someone. She jumped and ran but that was a huge mistake because everyone saw her and everything broke loose.

As Jade got into the van, she knew that something wasn't right. She started the van quickly and looked behind her to check on the girl. Her face turned fifty shades whiter when she saw that the space was empty. She cursed herself and got out of the van until she realized the situation. The girl was in the hands of the leader and her father and brother was on the ground with two of the minions holding them down. She analyzed the situation and figured she have to save the girl first. Making sure she is hidden well, she aimed her gun to the leader. The leader gasped when he saw that someone shot him. He was so surprised that let go of the girl and thankfully she recognized the situation and ran. Jade smiled. Now it was time to free her brother and father.

Annabeth was so nervous when the man got a hold of her. She didn't know what to do but luckily, something made the man lose her grip on her and she ran. Away. Away from all those people. She might even see her mommy and daddy and tell her it was just a bad dream. The whole time she was running she had her eyes closed. After minutes of running and crying, she hit her head in a tree trunk. She passed out immediately.

A man in his mid thirties was on guard duty that night. He was patrolling the perimeter of their camp. He sensed that something is wrong so even though his shift his over, he continued walking around until he heard a gun. They're here, he thought and ran towards the sound. Moments later, he saw blonde hair sticking through the cracks between two huge rocks. He came closer to it and gasped. He found a girl, maybe about nine or so, and her head has a large knot like she hit something. He carried the girl and took her towards the direction of the camp. Why do I get this feeling that you are very special?
