My name is Annabeth Chase. Abandoned by all family but my mother, banished from my home town and stealing to survive...I met Thalia. Strong willed and agile we dodged guards together. She had to provide for her brother you see until I met her on the edge of the forest crying in to her hands. Thalia does not cry. "He's gone he's gone" she said once I'd got her to calm down. I knew she meant Jason she didn't have another him in her life. It turned out that he had run away and I knew she would never forgive herself. To get away from the place that had so many unforgiving memories concerning family we took supplies and set off neither knew where we were going but we went.

On our many adventures we collected others, Juniper we found in a forest bewildered and lost both mentally and physically,Hazel we found half dead on the edge of a street, Katie was crying in a strawberry field and piper was running from her life. As you can imagine we did not have nearly enough provisions as it was but we were on an all time low. We needed to do something otherwise we would starve. We were having a discussion about the subject when Katie thought of the treacherous deed of kidnapping the prince. At first I was not convinced but when Thalia backed the idea with the statement "it would prove that the people who are starving would do anything" it came into a different light. I do love proving points.
