AN.

Hi readers! This is a new story anyway I hope you like it.

Annabeth's POV

Have you ever hated the dark? Yeah you know what I mean. Well what would you do if you had to see total blackness? Well I wasn't born like this some car took it away. I can still hear, feel, and taste just not able to see the vibrant colors. I can still see in my dreams. Often in color which makes up for everything. Here's how it all started.

Why is it so dark? Maybe's it night and the lights are off. Doubt it I can feel the sun against my skin. This is a lovely hospital I mean who else would think that a hospital had sun light and apparently flowers for decoration. The smell was strong and made my nose itch. Okay I'm getting off topic. Anyways what had happen after the screeching of cars and the stinging pain everywhere, especially in my eyes? Wait what my eyes? Total darkness? I couldn't be blind, could I? I rubbed my eyes and tried to see something anything was okay even a spider on my hospital bed. I got up and started to walk, well stumble. Some footsteps rushed in and immediately dragged my back to my bed the uncomfortable hard stupid bed. The bed I now officially hated and that person that had to drag me back. Actually who was that person that dragged me back? A nurse was what she was a rude offense nurse. She probably thought I was deaf to and didn't even bother to say good afternoon or evening. Well she's the least of my problems right now, how was I supposed to read or continue my job as an architect. I couldn't design anything. Well maybe I could, I used to be able to draw in the dark. Then there's always Morse code. I got those memorized. I could still read and I could draw just without seeing what I had drawn. Wait why does my arm hurt so much that I wish I could just end the pain by chopping the arm off but that will just cause more pain and the whole point will be worthless. Great now my stepmother would have one more reason to rant about how I was 27 and still wasn't married. I sometimes wish I was 21 or better yet 10 when I was in elementary school small and innocent. How I wished I was home reading I actually wouldn't have cared if my brothers jumped on me and broke my back. My eyesight would still be there… I heard hard steady footsteps coming to me. I had the instinct to scrunch away.

"Annabeth honey, its dad."

Unless you want to keep your face like it is I advise you never ever call me honey or Annie unless you want to be physically and mentally hurt. I could just feel the tension between my dad and me. I

really wish he would just go away. I want to think. I wanted to go inside my willow tree and just sit there thinking, reading and seeing. Seeing the leaves hang on my skin. Having the outside world kept outside the stress the pain and the hurt. Leave it all behind the branches of leaves. Having my head against the soft worn out bark was just like being in heaven. That was all when I was when wasn't blind when I was still a teen. I wish I could lie on the soft grass and have the leaves devour my body. That was all the past. I yearned to be in devoured again but was that ever going to happen again? I still go inside the leaves and just think regain strength. Oh man where was that tree when I needed it. I wish I could go into a willow tree grove and live there. Wait I think my dad just left. He probably knows what I am thinking and feeling. Well probably not thinking. He doesn't know anything about the tree almost nobody did. I need to get out of here. Maybe convince my dad to drive me there then maybe I could find it myself. I knew everything about the park the nooks and corner every hiding place known to the park. I been there since I was four I went every single day. I can't believe how rushed I was to get out of PE to get into my willow tree. The most peaceful place on earth was there. One person knows about it, Thalia was that person. In high school so one named Luke broke up with her with a note saying he was leaving her for some other girl. Thalia didn't cry she just felt like her heart had a dent a big one. I took her to the willow. I told her everything about it. Even about my mom's death. Everything…
