Hey guys, I hate to say it, but I'm a little disappointed. The number of reviews has gone down. I feel like there is either so much wrong that it's too much trouble, or I don't know. I hate to do this, but 40 reviews before I update, sorry!

Annabeth P.O.V.
I was silent as we walked back to our cars, However Thalia and Percy were joking around, and I guess it kind of helped… a little. I just couldn't get over the fact that someone who I had never met before, was dreaming about me. And the fact that He was so powerful, the gods were scared of him. It might have freaked me out a bit. I gave Thalia and Percy a hug goodbye, and headed home.
I opened the front door only to be a sailed by to small bodies that attached themselves to my legs. Shaking off my brothers I walked into the kitchen to start dinner.
"How was your first day Annabeth?" asked my dad from behind his newspaper. It annoyed me he didn't look up, or the fact that he had enough time to sit and read, and he hadn't even started dinner.
"It went fine, I killed a monster, and found out the most powerful being on earth, that no-one knew about is after me, but you know no big deal" he didn't even bat an eye.
"Good, good, just don't bring it home and we'll be ok" I nearly lost it there, but I didn't, it was just the fact we had moved. He was a little distracted, that's all.
"Hey can you help me cut some vegetables? there's no way dinner will be done on time if I cut them to." I was so hopeful he would offer to help, but no, I got a curt "sorry honey I'm to busy" and he walked out. Then I got an idea….
"Bobby, Mathew!" I called, they came running in, I handed each a knife. "Cut the vegetables will you?" and they happily went to work. See, unlike the rest of the family, they like me and who I am. They actually think it's pretty cool that I kill monsters for a living, and the fact that I'm half god. To them I'm a celebrity. I heard a screech from behind me, signifying Helen was home.
"My babies! What are you doing to them?" she rushed forward and took the knifes from the twins, who had been hard at work.
"They were just cutting vegetables Helen. Nothing bad" I sad exasperated
"They could have hurt themselves!" she was checking them over for any signs of hurt, I rolled my eyes.
"By the time I was their age, I was living on the streets, on the run from monsters. I could wield a knife well enough to kill someone. Cutting vegetables isn't going to hurt them. It will do them good. They should get used to knifes." I said as I handed them back their knifes, and they went back to cutting.
"Is that a threat young lady? Because if it is….." I cut her off,
"No it isn't, one day they are going to get married, and need to know how to use a knife. Now will you please leave? Dinner's almost ready, and I need to finish." With that I turned back to the vegetables, and ignored her, bobby and Mathew fallowing suit. She huffed and left, Dinner was a quit affair that night.
I tucked the boys into bed, and was about to leave when I heard a small voice.
"Annabeth?" I turned around to see bobby sitting up, "Are you going to leave us again?" The heart break in his voice was unbearable; I sat down at the edge of his bed.
"What would make you think that" I asked.
"Last time you left, it started like this, mommy and daddy ignoring you, or yelling at you all the time, and then you left. And didn't come back for years, and then it was better for such a long time, but their starting to yell at you again…. I just thought-" I looked at him, he was crying. I gathered him in my arms and rocked him back and forth. Mathew got up and joined in to, he himself also crying.
"I promise that I won't leave ever again. And if I do, I'll come back and visit all the time, last time I had nothing to stay for, you were so young, I thought you were like my dad and Helen. I thought you didn't like me. I thought if I left, you were so young, I thought you wouldn't remember me. I had no-one to stay for. But you didn't forget me you remembered, and when I came back, you guys made this home, not dad, or Helen, you. This time I have you to stay for, it would kill me to leave you." By this time I was crying to, and there we stayed, in that huddle crying together, till the next morning when I woke up with bobby and Mathew curled up next to me, I quietly got up, tucked them in, and left the room.
"What were you doing in there?" asked a voice from behind me, Shit I thought, caught.
"I was just-"but she cut me off.
"I Don't want you near them, you understand?, leave them alone. They don't need you in their life all you are is a bad influence. I don't want to giving them bad habits, and filling their heads with ideas. You're dangerous, To them, and to me. We don't want you here. We were so much happier when you were gone, so why don't you do the world a favor and go die in a hole." I let out a sob and ran out the door. The last thing I heard were twin cries of
"Annabeth!" From behind me, but I was already gone.
