sorry about the weird formatting. Thanks for pointing that out, storm crusader. I didn't even realize it was doing that.
"She's Gabe's daughter. He never hit me when she was around. He rarely drank until she left. She inherited the sight from my mom and ran away, terrified of the monsters that always followed me."
"But... so if she ran away, why would talking to Gabe help?"
"He may have hated me and treated my mom like trash, but she was his angel. He loved her. She was his whole world. If it's for her, he will help."
"If she ran away, how would he be able to help?"
"For the most part, she hated him. But she loved him too. She was a daddy's girl despite hating him. She kept in contact with him, and he would bring her stuff when she needed him to. He knew where she was. And that can help us find her."
"What was she like?"
"She was... incredible. She was smart, artistic, creative... I..."
"You love her."
"She's my baby sister, Annabeth. I more than love her," Percy was silent for a while.
"We're gonna find her, Percy. I swear on the-"
"Don't say it. Never make an oath you might not be able to keep. I've been looking for her every chance I got for ten years. I've not even found her footprint. So don't make that promise."
"Okay. I won't make it a sacred oath. But I will promise you. We will find her."
"I don't even know if she's alive."
"She's your sister. If she were dead you'd know it. You'd know it when it happened."
"The funny thing, Gabe didn't want her to have his last name. Said a pretty girl like that didn't need a name starting with ugly. So she took mom's name. My name."
"What's her name?"
"Mia. Mia Jackson."
