Annabeth:
My heart felt like a ball of ice as I gazed down at the brown box which sat at my feet. The box contained things which I had never wanted to see again, but at the same time they where things I couldn't throw away. My knees became limp and I knelt to the ground, I ran my hand along the objects in the box and tears began to form in my eyes.
"Annabeth what's…Oh!" I heard a voice from in front of me and looked up quickly.
Thalia stood in the doorway; she had been helping me unpack all morning. I wiped the tears from my eyes and smiled up at her.
"It's ok Thals I just…I haven't seen this stuff in a very long time." I told her.
"Do you want me to put them away?" She asked.
I wanted to say yes, but something was pulling me to look inside the box. I felt the urge to pick up a small blue bag which sat inside the brown box. I noticed Thalia had come to sit next to me and I heard her take a deep breath as I picked up the bag.
"Are you sure Annabeth?" Thalia asked.
I didn't answer her because I wasn't sure; I just pulled the large white ribbon of the top of the bag and opened it. I put my hand inside the bag and pulled out a velvet box, inside the box was a circle cut blue sapphire set in a bead-set band and encircled by a double row of bead-set diamonds. It was my engagement ring.
"It really is beautiful." Thalia said in a low voice like she only half wanted me to hear.
I took a deep breath. "I like it too." Where the only words I could manage to say.
Thalia wrapped her arms around me and tears streamed down my face.
"Can I ask you something?" Thalia asked looking me right in the eye.
"Y-yes." I stuttered through my cry.
Thalia took a deep breath before she spoke again. "Do you still love him?"
I felt my heart jump and I took a shaky breathe.
"Really Thals…I never stopped." The words fell from my mouth without warning and I didn't even know if they were true.
Once again I felt tears running down my cheeks and Thalia soothingly cleared my mind.
"Come on Annabeth lets go take a walk." She said pulling me up from the ground. I let her hold my weight as we trudged to the front door.
I pulled my long, dark blue blazer tighter around my body as the cool winter air hit me. It was mid December and the surroundings of my New York apartment were covered in snow.
Thalia and I walked in silence for a while before a huge ornate building came into our view.
"Well this is where the magic will happen." Thalia laughed as she looked up at the large black posters that lined the buildings full length windows.
The posters read:
Darkness 2: Life after death.
PREMIERE
FRIDAY 18TH DECEMBER.
FROM WORLD RENOUND DIRECTOR:
Nico Di Angelo.
Next to the writing was a large picture of a teenage boy decked out in full body armour. The boy had dark hair and pale still, he looked so much like Nico when he was around 18 that it was almost scary. The movie was about a boy who was sucked into the underworld by an evil woman, or something along those lines. It was the sequel to Darkness: Cursed souls, where the same boy had his body taken over. Both movies where pretty much Nico's way of portraying Hades and Persephone as extremely evil people that make him miserable and depressed. Although the movies where meant to be bloodcurdling and ghastly, anyone who had experienced true fear, being in the same room as my mother when Percy asked if he could marry me or having a lightning bolt hover over your head when you upset Thalia, would burst into hysterical laughter at most horrific parts of the film. Let just say the two movies where a complete joke that most half-bloods would probably watch for a good laugh. But unfortunately that joke happened to be written, directed and produced by a man who I called friend and this entitled me one forced appearance at its premiere.
"So!" Thalia said turning to me. "Where on that poster does it say the most beautiful woman, voted by American men and people magazine, will be making an appearance at this premiere?"
I smirked and rolled my eyes. "If I am not mistaken, it does not say that on the poster. Firstly that is because nobody would care and secondly the most beautiful woman has not yet agreed to attend the premiere." I told her.
Thalia scoffed at my monotone response. "Well miss beautiful, I don't care how backed up your world famous model schedule is you are coming to the premiere if you like it or not."
I rolled my eyes once again and pulled a face that resembled that of princess who had to put on her own shoes. "Oh but whatever will I wear?" I asked.
Thalia grabbed my hand and hurriedly pulled me down the street. I laughed as my short black boots tapped along the snow covered street. Thalia stopped abruptly at the curb and hailed a cab.
As we got in I became excited about the night ahead and forgot all about my discontented morning.
