Third PoV
"Mommy!" A small voice cries. Red flames envelop a white SUV, sirens can be heard in the distance. Help is on it's way. The voice cries. A little girl is sitting on the sidewalk near the car, an older child is holding her in his arms. Hugging her golden curls to his chest. He sits don with her in his lap, trying to become invisible to the peering eyes of the crowd.
"Shh, it's okay Annie. It's going to be okay." The boy says, his face looks grim. His blue eyes sad and cold. She shivers in his arms, he hands her a blanket provided by the fireman who just now arrived at the sad scene.
Another car, about 30 meters away, wasn't in as bad of condition. A man is passed out in the front seat, blood trickling down his temple. He's taken out of the car and beer cans roll out with him. A drunk driver.
The scene changes to a year later to a handsome man in his thirties with sandy blonde hair at a diner with a woman. The woman looks nice, she has straight brown hair, and striking blue eyes. She has crinkle lines around her eyes from too much smiling. They laugh and share a milkshake. The little girl sits outside on the street, looking in the window disgusted, like someone had betrayed her. The boy runs down the street and yells for the little girl. She turns and runs, her silky blonde hair waving behind her.
Annabeth PoV
"Annabeth, wake up." I groan. Why should I? Daddy doesn't need me here anyway. He has two perfect little boys to keep him happy.
"No." A gentle hand rests on my shoulder. Dad shook me out of my unconcious state.
"Honey, did you forget?" No. Annabeth Chase doesn't forget. I remember, what day is it? Susan's birthday? no... the boys?... no... "Annabeth," he looks down at me with, is that pride? "It's your birthday."
It's my birthday really? My eyes snap open. I had completely forgotten! The last two years have been really hard. With mommy... and then Susan and the boys. But today I could have fun! Today I could do whatever I wanted! Cause today I turn six!
Daddy chuckles, "I guess so! There are pancakes waiting down stairs for the birthday girl!" He gives me a big, warm hug. "Please make yourself look presentable before breakfast?" He asks calmly.
I spin around to my closet. Oh what to wear? Purple overalls? no. Ooh I really like this- what was that? I turn around slowly trying to face the popping noise without fear. In my room stands- no, floats, a little boy.
Percy PoV
"Daddy!" I scream. I'm in a room. No. I'm in darkness. On a pedestal in the middle sits, are those? COOKIES! I run towards them and grab a warm, yummy treat. I take a bite. This cookie tastes weird. I feel a yawn at the edge of my throat and I slip into the darkness around me.
I open my eyes and I see... purple? I look down a bit, seeing as I was staring at the ceiling and I see a pair of gray eyes staring back at me. Creepy eyes, but cool eyes. It's a girl. She shrieks "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?"
Her room? What am I doing in her room? I walk towards the bed, adorned in purple sheets, hoping to figure something out. I sit down and- sink? I- I can't sit? I look down at my hands, they're translucent, like a ghost.
I still have one question though... Where did the cookies go?
AN: So, what do you think should happen next? I have a couple ideas, but I want to hear yours too. So here are my options:
1- a continue of this chapter, just evaluating and answering some questions.
OR
2- A time skip with answered questions that also comes with a choice:
Should they become best friends or worst enemies?
AND
I want to hear your guys' thoughts. What do you think should happen next?
Sorry it was a bit late, and still a little short, I'm trying to come up with better ways to describe objects and stuff but it's hard thinking like a little kid. I am also very sorry if they seem pretty ooc or I mess up a character detail. This is AU NOT DEMIGODS.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
