Chase's Anatomy - Prologue

~The Chase Residence, Beverly Hills, California, U.S.A.~

"Hello Auntie, why are you here?"

"Annabeth," the young woman said, crouching down eye-level with the small seven year-old. Natalie's eyes were rimmed red, as if she had been crying. "Your Mommy and Daddy have gone away, you will be staying with me for a while."

Annabeth was confused. Where were her parents? They promised that they'd be back soon.

She looked out of the window in her living room, past her reflection, rain poured down heavily against the glass.

"Where did they go, Auntie?" Annabeth questioned, her tilting slightly to the right. Her neat, long, blonde, curls cascaded over her shoulder. Her grey eyes oblivious to the dread in her Aunt's eyes.

"Somewhere very far away," Natalie said, a tear slipped down her left cheek. "You won't see them in a while."

Annabeth waited and waited and waited. But her parents never came back.

When her Aunt dressed her in a black dress, a week after her parents have 'gone away', and told her that they had to visit a graveyard, she finally understood. Annabeth wailed for days, refusing to eat or talk.

They promised me that they would come back, she thought. Why did they leave? From then on, she clung onto every memory of her family, every single memory.

Annabeth was raised by her Aunt Natalie (her father's sister, because there were no relatives on her mother's side) and Uncle Frey with her cousin, their son, Magnus Chase, who is nine years younger than her. Annabeth was always praised for her beauty, grace, and alarming intelligence. She worked very hard in school, and when high school came around, she started online college at the young age of 14, and crammed more college work in the summer.

Annabeth wasted no time on friends, why let people in when they can always walk right out?, she would think.

She graduated high school and received her Bachelor's Degree at the same time, at age 16 (skipping two grades in middle school). After high school she was offered a full-ride scholarship to Oxford University School of Medicine, in England. She, of course, took the opportunity and left the States.

~Los Angeles International Airport, California, U.S.A.~

"Goodbye Annabeth," her Aunt whispered, her voice full of emotion while hugging Annabeth tightly. They were at LAX Airport, saying their goodbyes to Annabeth for when she would leave to England.

Natalie pulled back from her embrace and set her hands on Annabeth's shoulders firmly. Staring straight into Annabeth's grey eyes she said, "Your parents would be so proud of how far you've come."

Annabeth nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. She hugged her Aunt one more time and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Thank you, Auntie," she said. "For everything."

Annabeth stepped back, walking to the airport security check in. Before she entered the gate, she turned around and waved her family. Her Uncle's arm was around Aunt Natalie's shoulder and Magnus, only seven years old, waved happily at her. Annabeth smiled once more, waved back, and turned back to the security check-point, not looking back.

~An Expensive Flat in England, near Oxford University~

Through her four years of medical school at Oxford, Annabeth finally made some friends. An English model who she met at the mall; Piper McLean, another aspiring surgeon who also attended Oxford abroad; Thalia Grace, and Jason Grace; Thalia's brother, who was on his way of becoming a lawyer.

Not wanting to have to burden her Aunt's family, she supported herself by becoming a part-time model, with the help of Piper. Soon enough, Annabeth was everywhere. She used the money to pay off all of her debts and to provide a life of luxury for her and her friends.

"You know," Thalia said one day. It was Saturday and they were all hanging out at her flat on the couch. "Me and Jason-"

"Jason and I" Annabeth corrected.

Thalia rolled her eyes. "Me and Jason," Annabeth sighed. "Should introduce you to our cousin, he's hot and you guys should hook up"

Now Annabeth rolled her eyes. She wasn't a virgin, but she felt that she should try her best to keep a clean image. If she screwed with another person, they could ruin her future. Having a famous face doesn't help, especially if she wants to be a surgeon.

"Yeah, Annabeth" Jason yelled from the corner of her couch, beer in one hand and the other hand running through Piper's hair. "I think that you guys would like each other, you guys are semi-similar; both are frickin' prodigies and the youngest med students I've ever met."

"Thanks, but no thanks," was all Annabeth said.

~Oxford University, England~

"Smile," PIper cooed, from behind the camera.

Annabeth smiled at the camera, her arms around Thalia and Jason. Today was the day where Annabeth graduates from Medical School and Jason graduates from Law School. Thalia graduated the year Annabeth and Jason started at Oxford, and Piper never went to college.

Her Aunt's family were supposed to be at the ceremony, but their flight was delayed so they would be arriving later.

Annabeth was happy, her dreams were unfolding right in front of her perfectly. But, what she didn't know that her future was filled things that she didn't plan at all, as well. Good or Bad? That was for her to decide.
