Okay some things where brought to my attention last I wrote. And I'll be sure to work on them. And I had also been told that Annabeth's stepfamily was there when she was picked up from camp (Oops) for the purpose of this story I am going to leave it as I put it. As in Annabeth's step family will be at her home and only her dad picked her up.

And I was soooo happy to see so many people take a liking to my story. Hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the last (don't worry it is longer)

Enjoy!

My stepmother came in my room and looked down at me "Why if it isn't the monster magnet" she smiled at me and looked satisfied with her insult.

"You can't get rid of me again" I glared at her "you can't make him hate me again." She had the nerve to laugh "Oh hun, you don't need my help to make him hate you. Just wait 'till the first monster comes, then we will see where his loyalties lie" and just like that she rushed out of my room. She was even meaner then I remembered.

Was she right? I did not want to think about that. Because deep in my heart I knew she was. He would just side with her again like he did every time.

Of course my step brothers had to come and bug me too. I mostly ignored then, mostly. "Come on Annie, why don't you fight back." one of my brothers joked. I knew I could get him begging on his knees for mercy within seconds, but I couldn't. My stepmom would just use it to get me in trouble with my dad. "Stop it Darion" I said as harsh as I could "you know my name is not Annie. you know it's really Annabeth!" I finished, letting by disgust show.

"Aww little Annabell thinks she is a person who matters" My step brother said. My thoughts instantly went to Mr. D. He would always annoy me by calling me names other than Annabeth. He once called me Sara Ann. how do you get Sara Ann from Annabeth?! I don't know but he found a way. That's when it really hit me, how much I missed home. Well home as in Camp Half-Blood that is.

And I missed Percy. I missed his glowing green eyes and the way he always smelled like the fresh sea on a shimmering summer's day. And the way he smiled, a smile that said "C'mon lets go get into some trouble, or go on an insane adventure." I liked his smile.

I tried to shake his face out of my thoughts, although I knew I would never, and could never, fully get him out. He will always be in the back of my mind.

NO, what was I thinking?! he is a son of Poseidon. Poseidon and Athena do not mix! I had started, well… not hating him in the middle of our quest together, just earlier this very summer. We were in the back of a small truck with some poor miserable animals and-.

Before I could even finish my wonderful thought my step mom came back… goodie…

"C'mon children, let's leave her be." She said. Sure that comment may see all nice to you. But she said it in that way, you know; the way people say stuff with another managing. Ya, that way… I slightly wished a monster would come in here, and maybe scared her to death,

I waited a moment, but it looked like the gods did not have mercy on me. Oh well. Not everyone can get everything they wanted.

My stepbrothers followed my stepmom out of the room. Even the way she walked made me mad, like she knew she could do anything she wanted. And I guess that much was kind of true. She was at home field here, I was the outsider. And I may always be that here, the one who does not belong.

Before I could even react, my stepbrother Darion came back and grabbed one of my journals off of the floor. "Hey!" I yelled at him. "Oh don't worry; you'll get it my back later."

I tried to run after him but he slammed the door right in my face. I went flying back. Ooo how I wanted to fight back, instead I just walked over to my bag pulled out a pillow I brought with me, and berried my face in it. And to even my own surprise I started to sob. I just wanted this to be over. I just wanted to go back to where I belonged, Camp Half-Blood.

Well there is chapter 2! Don't worry the action will pick up soon. I swear it, Review response time yaaay!

Snowdapple13: I'm so happy to hear you think I did a good job with this. I am a major fan of the Percy Jackson books. I have always struggled with my spelling and grammar and I'll try to work on it even harder. Just for you ;). And I'd love to check out your fan fiction! We can be newbies together. Haha well good luck with your story too.
