(A/N: IMPORTANT AN AT BOTTOM! PLEASE READ! (Warning: The AN is kinda long but I really need you guys to read it))

Chapter 6

When I woke up, I was in the hospital. Well I didn't find that out until I completely regained consciousness but I guess I could have assumed it considering the steady "Beep….. Beep…." Of the heart monitor. Well when I woke up I was awake but my eyes wouldn't open and ugh you get the point.

Anyways I heard my mom and dad arguing. "Frederick! She could've died and all you care about is Ava being worried about you not being home! Do you even care about your daughter anymore?" Athena had shouted in a low but harsh toned voice.

"How dare you accuse me of not caring about Annabeth! I love her more than anything else in the world and it would crush me if anything happened to her. But I also have a wife and we have a child on the way. The world doesn't completely revolve around Annabeth. I have a life too Athena." I heard my dad say back. Once he said that is when I truly considered running away. It proved that he really didn't care. Just because he said he did didn't make it true. You can tell someone over and over that you care and have it mean nothing.

"That's it I'm sending her to camp and telling Chiron to never let you see her again." My mom said. And it confused me because I had no clue who Chiron was. I promised myself to look him up when I got home.

"You can't do that!" My dad yelled.

"I am her mother and she needs proper training in case this happens again! Plus you have a child on the way; I wouldn't our daughter to get in the way of that."

That's when I decided that it would be a good time to open my eyes and let them know I was awake. I urged my eyes to open and when they did, Athena hovered over the foot of my bed; keeping my dad away from me.

"Mom? Dad?" I croaked.

Athena turned around to face me; her harsh look softened as she looked at me. "How are you feeling Annabeth?"

I pushed up with my arms, trying to sit up. When I did, I yelped in pain as a sharp pain went up my left arm. "My arm hurts," I whimpered; noticing the cast on my left arm.

"Annabeth, this is just a simple injury. You will face far worse in the years to come." Athena stated, showing no sympathy towards me.

"Annabeth, are you okay sweetie?" My dad asked, pushing past Athena.

"Yeah, I'm fine daddy. When are we going to leave?" I asked, already plotting my escape.

"I just need to talk to the doctors and then we will be on our way." My dad said, grabbing my hand gently in his.

I ripped it out of his grip and snarled, "Don't touch me."

He opened his mouth but quickly shut it before exiting the room.

"Annabeth, I just need to talk to Zeus about getting you out of there and I promise you will never have to deal with Ava or your father again. It might take a while but just know that I will not let you suffer." Athena said. She awkwardly put a hand on my shoulder as she said, "Hang in there."

She kissed my forehead before vanishing into thin air.

I waited for months for my mother to return. Months. After the twins were born- oh yeah, I forgot to mention; Ava's child turned out to be two. Bobby and Matthew are their names. I may not be very fond of them but I really enjoy taking care of them. They are adorable and love to play with me. But whenever I do play with them, Ava gets angry with me. She didn't like the freak of the house touching her children. And the worst part is, dad didn't notice or care. Soon we stopped our bedtime myths and I was on my own again. Anyways, after the twins were born, I just gave up on waiting for Athena. I accepted that she was never going to return. I thought she just gave up on me like every other person in my life.

(A/N: Oh my gods! I honestly just realized how long I've made you guys wait for this chapter and I'm really sorry! Ever since we finished testing at school my teachers have been giving us mounds of homework which makes no sense in my opinion. Anyways I'm really sorry for the long wait! I meant to update sooner but…. I've had writers block for this story and I haven't really been encouraged to write is as much. I really appreciate the reviews I'm getting and as selfish as this may sound, I'd really appreciate more. I have eighteen followers for this story and only nine reviews for what? Five chapters? I'd really REALLY appreciate it if more of you guys reviewed. I love hearing what you guys think of my writing!

Sorry about the rant, I needed to tell you guys that though. Anyways I've been working on a new PJO fic about Nico and Bianca but I'm not sure if I should publish it or not. I've had it written for quite a while but I'm still pondering the idea of publishing it. Hopefully it should be up soon if I decide to put it up so keep an eye on my profile for something new!

Sadly there's only going to be about seven more chapters of this fic, ten at the most. I don't really have any new ideas for any new PJO fics besides my Nico and Bianca one so if you have any ideas let me know. Oh and if anyone wants to team up on a fic I would be happy to!

Sorry again for the long AN. A big thanks to all you wonderful readers! Let me know what you think please! )
