This chapter is dedicated to Trisana Sarrasri.
A note to reviewers: Chapters 1-3 were written before The Last Olympian came out. So please don't lecture me about facts from those chapters being wrong in your reviews.

Annabeth sighed. Her stepmother was late to pick her up from kindergarten, again. She decided she would try to walk home, it was only a few blocks away.
Annabeth arrived at her house. The door was unlocked. That's weird. She thought, going inside. "Anybody home?"
Her stepmother looked up from the magazine she had been reading. "Why aren't you in school?"
"Kindergarten ends at 12:30," replied an annoyed five year old. She pointed at the clock, which read 1:00.
"Well, go upstairs and do your homework," said her stepmother, not even acknowledging the fact that she should have picked Annabeth up, not even apologizing for forgetting.
"Kindergartners don't have homework" mumbled the little girl as she went upstairs. Annabeth walked down the hall and into her brothers' room. "Hi Bobby, hi Matthew." Annabethwaved to the one year old boys.
"Annabeth Chase come down here now!"called her stepmother.
After a long lecture about staying away from her brothers, Annabeth ran up into her bedroom, crying. It's not fair! She hates me just because monsters come after me! Thought Annabeth.
So Annabeth Chase ran away from home, away from her step mother. Away from life as she knew it.
