Hey people, I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a while. I just moved and haven't had internet. I'm almost done with chapter 4 though. Sorry for such a long wait. Thanks to WiseGirl1993 (love your name by the way) and HGF34567 who are so far my only two reviewers. You guys are awesome. I know this chapter isn't very long and sorry for the wait.

Chapter 3

"Daddy do you have to go to work?" I asked as I put down the World War I airplane model.

My dad smiled at me and picked me up from my spot on the spinny chair and placed me on the floor, then he knelt down so he was about my height. "Yes Annabeth, I have to go to work, but I promise when I get home we will go to the library and get you a new book," my dad said.

I smiled and said, "But do I have to stay here? I get bored."

"I guess you could come with me to work..." he trailed off, getting lost in his thoughts.

"Really!?" I squealed with excitement.

"Go get dressed," he said standing up.

I scurried off to my room ,running as fast as I could. I put on some jeans and a T-shirt and ran back to the living room where my dad pulled my curly blonde hair into pigtails.

When we got to my dads classroom I sat on my dad's chair and swung my legs off of the edge of it. "When is your class going to be here?" I asked picking up one of his World War I figurines off of his desk.

"In a couple minutes," my dad answered while he shuffled with some papers that were in his bag.

I heard a knock on the door and got excited because I thought it was his class. When he opened the door a lady with long black hair and brown eyes stood in the doorway.

"Frederick, I was wondering if you..." she trailed off and her eyes landed on me. She smiled a fake smile and said, "Well hello little girl, who are you?"

"I'm Annabeth, that's my daddy and my mommy is Athena! She's the godde-" I began but was cut off my dad.

"That's my daughter Annabeth. Annabeth sweetie, this is Ava."

I waved at her and continued to play with my dad's figurines. When she finally left she stood up on her toes and kissed my dad on the lips before whispering to him, "See you later."

A pang of jealousy hit me. Was daddy falling in love with someone other than my mom? No, he can't, I remember thinking. I thought that he could only love one person for the rest of his life, and I honestly thought that person- or goddess- was supposed to be my mother. I couldn't picture him with that Ava woman, ever.

I still can't believe that they ended up getting married. I remember wishing that my dad and mom could actually be together, without anyone getting in the way. That we could live as a family in the lego house that I built. Well not really a "lego house" but like the real model of it.

I still have fantasies like that, but now I know that they are impossible and will never come true. My mom and my dad can't be together. I used to hope that Luke would be living there with us, but I've decided to change it up a little. Now I want Seaweed Brain there with me. We would sit on the front lawn having a picnic, his arm would be around me and mom and dad would be across from us. Mom would get angry with Percy for how stupid he is, dad and I would just laugh at them. Then Percy would do something stupid and I would kiss him, just like I always do when he's acting like a Seaweed Brain. When we would part mom would get angry with him and shoot him death glares.

I know its kind of stupid to dream of something that will never happen but when I was little I did and I still do.

Sorry had to cross that out, its just stupid fantasy stuff you probably wouldn't care about.

Anyways when class started I payed close attention to everything my dad was teaching. When he got his lunch break he would sit at his desk with me and read me the Greek Mythology book. When he finished work we went home and ate dinner.

During story time there was a knock at the door. I jumped out of bed and scurried to the door as fast as I could because I had thought it was my mother and she wanted to live with us. Not be a goddess anymore, you know so we could live happily ever after, as a family. I couldn't have been more wrong. When I got up on my tip toes to unlock the door I turned the door nob and pushed it open. It was her. Ava. She gave me a fake smile and pinched my cheek really hard. "Is your father here?" she asked in her annoying perky voice.

I scowled at her and slammed the door as hard as a could, hoping I hit her face. "Annabeth dear, who was that?" my dad had asked.

I gave him an innocent smile and said in a sweet voice, "No one."

Then Ava knocked again. I groaned as my father pushed me out of the way and opened the door for Ava.

I remember scowling at her again before running off to my room, making sure to stomp my feet as I ran, I wanted to show them that I was angry. When I reached my room I slammed my door and threw myself onto my bed. I remember bursting into tears and screaming into my pillow. 'Why was she crying?' you're probably asking, well I thought my dad hated me. That he wanted that woman so she could replace me. I wanted her to be my actual mother and I knew that she was replacing my mother, or trying to at least.

I cried myself to sleep that night. It made me more upset that my dad didn't check on me. Now that I'm older now I realize that he was probably letting me cool off. In the morning though, he yelled at me. He told me that it was rude of me to act that way to Ava.

I tried to tell him that I didn't like her but he didn't listen. He hired someone to watch me that day. He was so angry with me he didn't even let me go to school with him.
