Chapter 11
Annabeth sighed. What was the point? Why pray to her mother when she knew she would not answer? "Stupid busy gods," she muttered under her breath. She really wanted answers. Her mom seemed like she was the only one who could answer them.
Annabeth kept having dreams, some about a boy with light colored hair who was traveling with a girl with dark hair. Annabeth never saw their faces though. They were always traveling. She wanted to know where they were going. More than that she wanted to go with them.
They were like her, she just knew it. Annabeth had other dreams too. She saw a summer camp but one with ancient buildings that looked greek. Strawberry fields surrounded it. They were kids with orange t-shirts on. She didn't know what all those kids were doing there, her visions of the place only lasted for a moment, but she knew that this place was important.
"Annabeth! Time for breakfast. Hurry so you wont be late for school!" Her stepmoms cheerful voice made Annabeth shudder. Why does she act so friendly? We all know she hates me. Annabeth thought. She made her way slowly to the kitchen.
"Morning darling," Annabeth's father said. He was eating some toast and reading a book about airplanes. He was a professor at West Point. He taught American history which he seemed to like but he loved airplanes.
Annabeth saw the clock. Time for school. Her brothers both had colds today so they didn't have to go. They seemed pretty happy about it, which confused Annabeth. School was important! Also it was kind of fun to learn.
When she was on the bus, Annabeth read. She always read. She was only seven but very advanced for her age. She always assumed that the other kids didn't like her because of her intimidating gray eyes but maybe it was because of how smart she was. She out shone everyone in her class.
Her day was normal, she knew all the answers to the teachers questions, she ate lunch with her class but didn't really talk, and at recess she played on the monkey bars. She was really good at the monkey bars.
Annabeth was about half way through the monkey bars when a spider crawled onto the next bar. She looked at it and started to scream, and scream, and scream. She dropped down from the monkey bars and ran away ignoring the other kids laughter.
She finally stopped running. She was somewhere at the edge of her playground away from the other kids. She stood there shaking by the fence that surrounded the play area. Over that fence was a road and some shops.
Annabeth stared at the street that those shops were located at. Stupid kids why did they always pick on her? So she was a little bit afraid of spiders, everyone had a fear right?
While she was in the middle of this thought something caught her eye. A girl around the age 11 or 12 was walking down the street. She had striking blue eyes, freckles on her nose, and was dressed in what seemed like punk clothing. The girl also had dark hair and a pretty silver bracelet. She stopped at one of the shops and peered through the window. Then she walked inside.
Annabeth's breath quickened, this girl seemed powerful like she wasn't exactly human. Annabeth then heard her teacher cry out. Recess was over. It was only as she walking inside that Annabeth remembered what the girl from her dream looked like. She had looked like that blue eyed girl! Maybe that was her!
Recess was near the end of the day so Annabeth didn't have to wait long for school to end but it still felt like a million years until she was released. Annabeth raced to the shop that the girl had gone into earlier. She saw it was a bakery. Annabeth stepped inside and looked around for the other girl. She wasn't there.
Disappointment hit Annabeth like a train. The girl was gone.
