Chapter 1

I woke up because of a stinging pain in my face. I opened my eyes to see my dad with a raised hand. He said: "Wake up you worthless piece of shit! Make me breakfast! Now!". Then he turned around and went to the door. When I heard the door close with a slam, I rolled out of my bed. I was still a little bit sore. When I was out of my bed, I went to the bathroom. While I went to brush my teeth, the mirror catches my eye. My eyes went to scan my reflection. I wasn't happy with what I saw: Fizzy, honey-blond hair and dull gray eyes. If you looked good in my eyes you could see through the façade. If you looked good you could see all the pain and all the sadness in my eyes. But nobody ever cared enough to even try, because nobody cared about me. The only one who had ever succeed was Thalia and she is gone now. But the more obvious thing you could see about my eyes, was my black, right eye from the beating from yesterday. Yesterday was horrible. Dad was drunk…

*Flashback*

I came home from a crappy day of school. Percy was more horrible than normal. This was probably because of the date. Today it is 10 years ago when my Mom died. This also means Dad would be more angry. Talking about Dad, how late is it actually? Oh no! it is 5.02. Dad always wants me home at 5 o'clock. Stupid Percy, this is all your fault, if you and your friends didn't bother me till 4.50… well I can't change anything about that, can I. I just need to face his punishment.

*Time skip till arrival at home*

When I opened the door to my house, it was nearly 5.10. 'I'm so screwed' I thought. When I opened the door, I could see my Dad waiting for me in the hallway. Then I stepped inside and closed the door.

When I stood in front of my father, I could smell alcohol. Shit I thought, he is drunk. He probably went to the bar because today was the day Mom died. But if he's drunk he doesn't care where he hits me. normally he doesn't hit me in the face, I mean if I walk around with multiple wounds on my face, it would be a bit suspicious, don't you think? "You're late, bitch" He slurred "How late is it?" "5.12, Sir". "and how late were you supposed to be here?" he asked. I gulped "5 o'clock, S-sir". "You need to be punished" he stated. Then he threw a punch at my face. His fist hit my right eye. Because of the impact I fell on the ground. When I was on the ground he started kicking my sides, my legs and the rest of my body. I started to scream, but he clamped his hand over my mouth, while he hissed: "we have neighbors remember? We don't want them to know about our little secret, now do we?" I shook my head in a no. "Good" he said. Then he stopped kicking. I sighed in relief. He said: "Get out of my eyes, you worthless piece of shit!" Then he walked away. When I tried to stand, I immediately fell down again. Then I choose the only other option. I went crawling to my room. When I arrived at my room I went to search for my first aid kit. I started bandaging my wounds. When I was done, I stumbled to my drawer. I took my blade out of its hiding place and went to the bathroom.

While I swiped my blade across my arm, I taught about the things that happened to me today. Every mean comment from Percy and his club of popular students leaved a angry, red mark on my arm. Every beating from my dad leaved an angry, red mark. When I was done, there were 20 new marks from my blade. When I started to bandage my wounds, I started to think. Is my life someday going to change. This is my last year from High School. What am I supposed to do when I am graduated? Does Dad want to let me stay in this house? This taught sent shivers across my spine. I really don't want to stay here. When I turn 18 I'm going to leave. I'm sure of that.

When I was done bandaging my cuts, I went to my bed and changed into my sleeping clothes. Then I went to bed.

*End flashback*

When I snapped out of my thoughts , I went to the kitchen to make breakfast for my Dad. When I was done, I placed it on the table, got my schoolbag and went outside. When I started walking towards my school, I bumped into someone. I sent us both sprawling on the floor. "Hey, watch where you're going!" a very familiar voice said. I looked up and saw a girl, dressed in all black, with raven-colored hair and electrifying, blue eyes… No way! This isn't possible! She was supposed to be somewhere across the country. "Thalia?" I asked. "Annabeth…" she whispered. Then she came forward. I thought she was going to hit me, so I flinched. But she did something very different, she gave me a very tight hug. I was shocked to say at least. I mean, the last time someone hugged me was 10 years ago.

Then she asked: "why did you flinch like that?". "you don't remember, do you?" I sighed. "What don't I remember… What happened to your eye… Oh no. He still…?" She said with disbelief in her voice. "Yes, he still does." I said. Then I heard another voice. "Yeah, Annie. What happened to your eye?" Oh no. I forgot Thalia was HIS cousin. I turned around to see...
