So, here's the third chapter. The last chapter was sucky, I know. I hope that this one's better (she'll run away in this chapter.)
Her barricaded closet failed her. She thought they would stay away if she thought about them disappearing. She thought so hard her ears popped, all that managed to do was give her a migraine. They came and came, despite her efforts, like a sea of darkness.
"Aghh! They're back, they're gonna eat me!" Annabeth yelled at the top of her lungs.
Her stepmother entered her room furiously and she exclaimed "Annabeth, what did I tell you about this nonsense. You do this again and I swear-"
"I'm not lying, why do you think I'm lying?"
"Annabeth, do you want to be put into time out?"
"No" she replied glumly.
Her stepmother turned around and left her room. The spiders came and came without stop. This continued throughout the night and into the morning. Again, she woke up with bites and webs all over her. She repeated her routine from yesterday: she went downstairs and told her stepmother, she again didn't believe her, she went to school, came back, ate dinner, went to her room, spoke with her dad, and went to sleep.
This night, she couldn't take it anymore. She took a backpack from her room. She slowly crept the door open and ran out. She went down stairs and raided the pantry. She stuffed her backpack with foods she thought she needed: chips, candy, pretzels, can of beans (why, she didn't know), some trail mix, and a bag dried fruit. She went to her fridge and packed half a dozen of watered bottles and Capri Sun. She quietly snuck by her father's room and into the bathroom. From there she took all the medicine she could find and some bandages. She then went back to her room and took her favorite stuffed animal, a panda pillow pet. She took extra jackets, clothes and some blankets. She stuffed all this into her backpack, and when she was done, it looked like the backpack was ready to explode.
She went out to her front yard and waved goodbye to her house for good. Before she left, (Olympus knows where) she ran into her garage and took a hammer just in case she saw any shady characters out there. This time for good, Annabeth left making sure, she left no traces of her absence.
