Chapter two

A/n thank you so much all of you who reviewed and followed! You have no idea how much that meant to me. With out further ado, here's chapter 2! Hey that rhymes! Also this is more of a filler chapter
-?-

I watch from the floor as the movers take the last box from my room. I didn't what to go back to New York, but my dad assured me that no one would remember me. Sure, no one would remember the. Girl who cached Luke's eye, angered the opposing gang leader, fell from a two story building, and caused a full-out shot out.

I would miss it here. It was fine, even if I couldn't have friends or get the grades I knew I could- all A's I mean- and have a boyfriend. Not like I needed one, anyway.

My dad comes up and pulls me off the floor. " Ready?" I nod yes. He takes my hand and we start downstairs. I take one last look around and spot a small hole in the wall, were my bed was. I mumble a curse and run over too it.

I stick my finger in and pull out a necklace . I used to wear it every day, but that changed when we moved here. I was my mom's, but she left it to me when she died. It was a simple necklace, with a silver chain and a small owl pendent. My dad didn't like me wearing it because both of THEM knew who it belonged to. I decided to put it on and a sense of security washed over me. I smiled. My dad would be mad, but screw him. He chose to move us back to that hell hole, a little into my senior year.

I walked out to the car, already loaded with our bags for the airport. Helen was holding my dad's hand in the passenger seat. He glared at the necklace I was wearing but didn't say anything. We pulled out and headed for the airport.

Once on the plane, sit back and relaxed. The trip would be long, so why not rest? As the airplane ascended, I sat back and napped. Dreaming of flying off of a building into an ocean.

When we finally landed, I had read two books after my nap, a filling of dread washed through me, drowning me. I didn't want to be here, I really didn't. I wanted to be back home, wasting my life on books and living in the shadows. But, I could not have that, for I couldn't have anything that I wanted, because I was not meant to still be living. Not meant to be in this position. I should be dead. I wish I was. I wish I was and not slowly, painfully wasting away.

Because it was his fault. His fault that I had scars, some his and some mine. His fault that I have brown hair when I should have blond curls, brown eyes when I should have grey ones. His fault that I'm a living shadow.

We get a taxi to our new house, not far away from our old one. I know this neighbor hood. I know we shouldn't be out at this time of night, even if in a taxi, but I also know were all the hiding places are.

We pull up to a apartment complex, probably the nicest one in the town. We pay the man and walk up to the door. My dad and Helen go inside, but I stall for a moment. I look down the sidewalk as far as I can, trying to see through the darkness. In the darkness I think I hear them, running footsteps and teens goofing off. Teens who happen to have human blood on their hands. I run back inside.

Our apartment is small, but comfy. Out my window, I see a other window open in the next apartment complex. I look through and see its a girl's room. I turn around and start unpacking my stuff. I jump when I hear a door slam from the other apartment complex. I turn around and see a fuming girl. When she notices me looking over, she calls out to me.
"Hi! I'm Thalia!" I think. Should I say hi back ?
" Hi, I'm Annie."
"Cool. So, Annie, you new here?"
We talk. For a long time. Long time, like 6 hours. I now know who she is and how she goes to Goode High School. When I say I'm going there to, she offers to pick me up to school tomorrow. My car isn't here so I say yes. My dad would be pissed, but I don't care. He made me come back and go to the school were it all happened. We say good night, and try to sleep before the sun come all the way up.

That's when I realize who I befriended. Thalia Grace. My old best friend. Messenger between the gangs. Crap.

Please don't kill me! I will update ASAP. Please review if you want this story to go the way you want it! Bye!?
