Lives in Secret

Chapter 1

Annabeth

"Annabeth! Get dressed and come down for breakfast!" my mother yelled.

I groaned and got out of bed. I was tired because my date with Prince Jonathan went late last night. Oh, and by the way, I'm the princess of District 4 and first heir to the throne.

I put on a simple red dress brushed my hair out and took the five minute walk to the dining room. I lived in a palace so it took a while to get anywhere.

"Hey guys." I said when I finally got to the dining room.

"Hey Annie!" my little sister, Kate said.

"How was your date last night honey?" my father asked.

"Horrible! Jonathan barely talked to me because the whole time he was looking at his reflection in his spoon, just like all children of Queen Aphrodite."

"Hey, don't talk bad about them, Annabeth. It isn't nice." my mother said.

None of the guys I went on dates with seemed right. I wanted a fun-loving, caring, trustworthy guy who doesn't freak out about his appearance.

"King Fredric!" one of the servants yelled, scaring me half to death. "The palace is under attack!"
