Chapter 5

Flashback- Annabeth's crime

A. came from a conversation with a friend, Alice Amelia, who suggested perhaps Annabeth was part of the bad side... So here goes.

A war. It always began with a war. A war for peace, a war for love, a war for hate; always a war. Annabeth had been only small when she had seen her first war. A war of time and space. A war against her father's past and all the enemies he has ever faced. But now she has a reason to fight, so many years later- her family and most of all the man she loved.

Her future was set, an escapee from prison she would become and all because of a selfless sacrifice in order to protect her family. She killed the one man she cared most for. A man many love and care for, the Immortal whose real name is unknown. How do you kill a man who is immortal you might ask... By breaking his heart of course. By telling him you don't love him and then shooting him through the chest right where the fissions of time have crossed his heart- the fissions being your own complicated time line intersected with that of the one you love. How can you bring yourself to kill him when you love him... Unless you are ordered to by those who would want your species dead throughout time and space? Would you sacrifice the man you love in order to save your daughter? The last of her race?

Now as her crime she was bound in life to the leader of her enemies, bound to die when he did- no matter what her species was. Now the only way to stay alive was to keep running. Running from her crime, from her enemies and avoid getting killed. But how long can one person run until it is time to give up?

No one can run forever can they?
