Okay, sorry if the first chapter wasn't the best. This chapter takes place before that one. Please review, and I will need some O.C.s in the next chapter, so you can suggest one if you want and I might use it.

Thalia opened the door to her bedroom, snuck by her mom, who had passed out on the couch, and walked into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. She looked in the mirror, her face was stained from tears and there was a cut on her arm, from her mother pushing her onto the floor earlier.
I can't handle this anymore. Thought the ten year old girl. I have to run away. She sighed, and grabbed a pair of sisors. She cut her hair because her mother was an actress, she didn't want anyone to recognize her. After that she put on black eyeliner, for the same reason.
After that she went back into the living room, and saw her mom's purse. All that was left in it was a ten dollar bill, her mom had spent the rest on beer. She thought about it for a minute, then figured her mother would probably never notice, and stuck the bill in her sweatshirt pocket.
Then, She ran. Out the door, down the stairs, and onto the sidewalk. Thalia sprinted down the street. She had run about a mile when she stopped to catch her breath. She looked around, and saw a play ground. It was around dinner time, so the place was deserted.
She sat on a bench, and looked around. There was big jungle-gym complete with five slides and a long, red tunnel. Next to that, there was a swingset. It had a tire swing, three baby swings, and two normal swings.
Perched on top of the swingset was a huge eagle, and it was looking around. It saw Thalia, and then many things happened in the next few seconds. The Eagle flew away. Thunder rumbled, then lightning flashed. It started pouring Rain. Thalia screamed. She hated water. She ran to the jungle-gym, and climbed int the tunnel.
That was weird, she thought. I guess I'm sleeping here tonight.
She used her sweatshirt as a pillow and slept in the tunnel that night.
