Heya! I don't own DP, Beth, or James! Depressing chapter FYI! Enjoy...
"It...it was a dark day...I was playing inside my house, where it was was dimly lit..." she began as she held her knees. He sat down next to her and put an arm around her; waiting to hear her sad tale...
Flashback
"Annabeth!" trilled a sharp voice. A teenage looked up at her aunt.
"Yes Aunt Raelene?" she asked timidly. Her aunt leaned down and ruffled up her messy hair.
"Your uncle and I are going to be visiting your parents' gr-souls..." she quickly substituted. "You stay here, and keep the doors locked. We'll be back in an hour, alright?" Annabeth(Beth) nodded again. Her aunt kissed her head and began to walk out of the room.
"Remember, don't go downstairs..." reminded her aunt harshly. Beth's eyes grew wide with fear as she nodded.
"Yes Aunt Ralene..." she said softly.
Her aunt smiled and walked out of the room, leaving Beth alone in the dimly lit room. Beth sighed, and began to trace a heart on the oak floor.
"I wish you guys were here..." she said to the floor. Her young heart had been shattered when she heard that her parents were- A tear slipped down her face as she refused to think about it. She got up and grabbed a sketch book, a pencil, and her iPod. Her earbuds were jammed into her ears, playing at full volume.
Pictures began to form at the end of her pencil as she stretched out and laid on her stomach. Pictures of her parents and sadness; that's all she could think about. It had been only months since she had moved in with her snobby aunt and uncle. She hated it. Despised it. Only a few more years and she would be done with high school, and this crummy place. She sighed and selected the next song to play. Beth hated when her aunt and uncle left her alone. It made her feel...unnerving to be alone in this dark Victorian style house.
A bright light caught the corner of her eye. She got up and looked around. The night was dark, and nothing was coming out the window...the basement! Her feet ran over to the basement as she screamed in fear. Fire was climbing up the stairs faster and faster. She tried to run, tried to escape. But the fire was slowly catching up to her, burning everything in its path. Tears streamed down her face as she pounded on the door, trying to unlock it. The locks hated her and refused to let her unlock them, leaving her to the mercy of the flames...
End flashback
"An-and that day...I became...this." she choked out. Tears were streaming down her pale face. James held her tighter as she cried into his chest.
"I'm weak, I know..." she muttered. James shook his head.
"Your not weak, your brave..." he told her gently. She replied with a choked sob and gently cried herself to sleep in James arms.
