Hey guys! It's me, and it's been quite awhile since I've decided to do some writing. I had promised I would update over the summer, and that didn't work out, now did it? You are all welcome to send me very thorough hate mail if you wish. ^^
This story has been an idea for awhile, and I hope you FFers who still look out for me enjoy it. ^^
The moment I regretted every decision I've made all day came all too soon and all too terribly.
20 Minutes Earlier...
"Mum I'll be back! I'm just going down to the shops to get some snacks for my trip!" she yelled loud to her mother as she closed the door. Annabeth only heard her mother say, "Okay, Annabeth! I love you, be care-" before she shut the door to her home. The cool fall air was unusually breezy, but not a problem for Annabeth! She was wearing a leather jacket and a pair of gloves, as she knew the weather was beginning to deteriorate as fall changed to winter.
Quickly, she trudged down the street in the direction of the Shopping Center she was all too familiar with. Not long after she turned the corner, Annabeth was aware of something quite disturbing. As she turned the corner, out of her peripheral vision, she saw a mysterious van slowly moving behind her. Her instincts took over her as she kept walking. Her phone was tightly held in her right hand, away from the van's view, just in case her suspicions were correct.
As if to confirm her fear, the van sped up and out of the passenger seat came a handsome looking man her age. Annabeth picked up a faster walking speed as he came closer. As he did, so did the van. As quick as lightning he had her over his shoulder like a potato sack. Annabeth desperately searched for her phone, but found it had skidded across the sidewalk. He tossed her in the backseat of the van2 almost as if she were a doll.
Annabeth realized she could get killed then. She tried screaming, but was quickly shot a look by the driver. The van sped off without a trace. He last thing Annabeth saw as the van rolled forward was her phone laying on the sidewalk. She was oh so close to escaping. "Who are you?" she asked to the two men. The one with black hair and sea green eyes turned to her. "Well, Annabeth Chase, you don't necessarily need to know that at the moment, now do you?" he asked calmly. Annabeth's eyes gleamed with fury. Who did he think he was?
But suddenly, it made sense.
Annabeth was one of the richest girls in town. Her father worked at a university and her mother was a world-renown genius. They wanted to use her to get some quick money.
Because these kidnappers had been careless and had not trapped her from distracting them, she made another stupid mistake.
She tackled the driver.
He freaked out and yelled unintelligent things at her. The boy who had addressed her earlier tried to peel her away from him, but to no avail. His hand covered her face, but Annabeth bit it. The whole time the fiasco had been happening, the car had been swerving like mad. She grabbed hold of the wheel, but not before the black haired boy could. She fought with him for control of the wheel, neither stronger than the other.
Then, it all went black.
