Hiii! I'm in a happy mood because I'm glad the people review and I didn't realize that this story meant a lot to some people. You guys really inspired me and I made the chapter extra-long. You guys are amazing and just to let you know that I won't be giving up on this story anytime soon! :) I'm proud of myself, I wrote this in an hour, that's a new record :) I guess I have to listen to Taylor Swift more often. I know that some people are saying that this is like Tangled and yes I kind of got the idea from watching it with my cousins too much. The story will be slightly different and stuff like that. So yeah and the next chapter will have Percy in it but they won't meet…yet :P. Oh and I have 5 days of no school which means that I will update more :) unless I have homework then yeah I'll still update and it's next week. I put up an image for the story and I think that it fits in the story so because it was a blonde princess that was in the woods that is lost so yeah. I like it, tell me what you guys think. Alright, I'm sorry for making this Author's Note so long so on with the story! Enjoy :D

The Lost Princess – Chapter 4

Annabeth's POV

I was glad that I could have freedom and do whatever I wanted to do but it would've been nice if I had some company. I mean I've pretty much been inside instead so outside so I have no idea where I'm going or what to do.

To be honest, I am kind of scared but I wouldn't dare say that out loud, I have too much pride to do that. Seriously though, it would've been nice if I had someone in the world with me and actually cares about me except Callie.

I'm still wondering about my mother. Who could she be that Arachne would want revenge on? Are they enemies or has she done something to her? I feel so angry that I have no answers to any of my questions and I hate not knowing something. I wonder if my real mother misses me or if she was still alive. I sighed inwardly, there would be no choice to find my mother and she probably forgot about me after 7 years.

I was about to argue with myself when I heard a twig snap behind me. I swiftly turned around and tried to see if anybody was there. 'I'm just imagining things' I thought to myself.

I saw something glinting in the ground. I got curious and stepped towards it. I was digging it out and cleaned it. It was a hammer, a big one that could harm someone if I swung it but light enough to carry it. I carried it with me because I could use something to protect me.

I heard some whispering behind me and I started to walk faster, not daring to look behind me. The leaves crumpled every step they took and I noticed that they were running towards me.

I caught a glimpse of frizzy black hair and back eyes like somebody I knew back at my house. 'Arachne' I thought fearfully and I noticed a couple of others that looked like the exact copy of Arachne except with a different gender and put pieces together and knew that they were her sons. They came to kidnap me again I thought with fear.

I started to run away fast as I could and didn't look behind me too afraid to see them again. I knew that they weren't going to give up easily and tried to come up with a plan in my head but I couldn't think of anything besides of fear and my heart beating furiously. 'Think Annabeth, Think!' I thought but couldn't come with a plan. Since we were running through the woods at night time, I took this as an advantage and curved through the trees and tried to keep my footsteps quiet but still fast.

I risked looking behind me and saw only Arachne there with a determined look in her eyes and a creepy smile on her face and was determined to capture me. I was so scared and tried to make distractions but those didn't work. I was losing my energy and I could see Arachne catching up towards me. 'No, not again' I thought with anger. I saw a big tree and ran towards it. It looked like I was about to hit it but I turned sharply to the right getting a small scratch on my left arm.

I heard a thud and knew that my plan worked. I still ran until I was completely out of breath and I was found at an Alley. "Wow... I must….. Have run a…. lot to not see….. Where I was going" I said out loud taking breaths after a few words and speaking for the first time I left Callie's house. I noticed that my voice was scratchy and barely audible and winced. I took off my backpack and took out water and took a few sips and putting it back in the backpack.

I sat down and took this as a chance to look around the alley. I couldn't really see anything because it was dark outside and it was misty outside too. I could see a few closed signs on a few gas stations and a few houses that looked old. "Well this is a nice place to stop by" I murmured sarcastically. 'Might as well get some rest' I thought sleepily after I yawned. I took out a thin blanket and used my backpack as my pillow and was sleeping after a couple of seconds.

~~~~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes slowly and panicked when I realized that I was on the street sleeping besides sleeping in my comfortable bed. I remembered everything from yesterday and inwardly groaned. 'I don't even know where I am' I thought.

I put my blanket in my backpack and picked up my hammer and started to walk down the alley. After a few minutes I saw some people coming towards me.

I panicked and held my hammer and started to swing it around furiously thinking its Arachne or her sons. I heard somebody saying whoa and a feminine girl voice laughing.

"GO AWAY, ARACHNE! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE ME AWAY AGAIN!" I said shouting with anger.

"Calm down girl. I won't hurt you and I'm not Arachne." Said a deep voice chuckling. I stopped swinging and realized I closed my eyes out of fear and opened them to see a girl that looked like a Goth or punk. She has short spiky hair and electric blue eyes with freckles on her nose. She was wearing an old peasant black dress with a black jacket that was too big for her and black boots and a silver bracelet on her left wrist. She was looking at me like a big sister would look at her little sister and smiling, showing some not-so-straight teeth but it looked good on her.

There was a boy to her left and looked like a typical boy. He had short cropped hair with baby blue eyes and tan skin. What I didn't look normal was the scar that was pale and was from his eye to his chin. He was wearing peasant clothes: a white button up shirt with dirt on the front and hiking brown trousers with hiking boots. He looked at me with twinkles in his eyes and I think I saw admiration but it was probably a trick of the light. He looked kind of scared but in a joking way and the girl had an amused look on her face.

I dropped the hammer to my sides and looked at them and gave them a look that said 'I'm not allowed to talk to strangers so I'm not talking first' and I think they understood because the boy started talking

"I'm Luke. Luke Castellan. This is Thalia Grace. We live near here and we saw you walking around here as if you were lost and I've never seen you around here and we thought that we could help you." He said in a caring voice which surprised me because nobody ever talked to me like that, except Callie.

"Oh, I thought you were someone else. Sorry about that." I said in a sheepish tone. "Yeah I could use some help around here. I have no idea where I am." I said with no emotions on my face.

"Well you are in Atlantis, the part where nobody lives. We usually don't come here but I guess it's your lucky day." He said with a dashing smile showing his straight pearly white teeth.

The girl was getting annoyed that he wouldn't let her talk and punched him in the shoulder but the boy showed no reaction besides smiling wider.

"Well if you need a tour around the city, we would love to help you around right Luke." She said and had a look on her face that said 'I will punch you if you don't say yes' but in a teasing way. I could tell that they've known each other for a long time and they're both best friends.

Luke agreed and then we went to the part of Atlantis where they live close to and walked to their house. Luke and Thalia have been there for each other since they were babies. They ran away from their house because they never wanted that kind of life. They've been living together for 3 years and they are best friends. I'm not the kind of person who cares about romance or anything like that but I think that Luke and Thalia should be boyfriend and girlfriend. I'm pretty sure that they like each other but they've never noticed it.

Anyways, their house was very welcoming and was huge. They had at least 3 or 4 bathrooms with showers and 5 bedrooms. We talked and we instantly became friends and they practically forced me into living with them but I didn't mind because I didn't want to alone and leave my friends. We ate dinner and they both told about how Thalia is scared of heights which I found surprising because she looks like the person who doesn't have any fears and Thalia teasing him about Luke's 'fan club' and how they only go to the sword practice just to meet him.

I went to sleep early and said goodnight to both of them and changed into my night gown and went in my new bed. I was thinking about my now new friends and thinking that I'm glad that I ran away and this was the first time I felt loved and cared about. I now have new friends and I live far away from Arachne and I'm so happy about my new start in life.

I've made this chapter more descriptive and stuff like that and I hope that it's good. REVIEW! Reviews make me HAPPY! :)
