Masked like Mistake

by Rrit

Seven year old Annabeth is young and honestly knows all to well how smart she is but It takes a special kind of person to run away. Not in my mind entilely completely brave but also naive and reckless . And at seven, it's shocking, frankly. freeverse; following her until Thalia's death. Why did she run away? Was it because of Dad? or was it her that chased the child away? COMPLETE

Thank you Achieving Elysium, I'm sorry that I'm so late. :) Thank you so much and congratulations! Her and She references to her stepMom and Luke's fake voice is the Cyclops. This is a young Annabeth and it starts when she runs away from home and then until Thalia's death.

Luke punches

in an arch like Thalia

swooping under the protruding arms and runs back down the hill

to her

I try to follow

but it's no use.

He comes back red

After hours

Thalia died

I didn't understand

but he came back

unlike dad

unlike her

So like Luke

but also black

his eyes don't shine

I don't notice

But the shine has faded

into the dark
