Annabeth had never felt so nervous, she packed with a chaotic air about her as she ran back and forth across the room. Fifteen minutes, that's all the time left that she had. She ran downstairs to her children who were lined up next to the door, ready to bid their mother farewell as she left to live near Olympus. Annabeth kneeled down to be next to her daughter, who was standing farthest from the door and was whimpering.
"Thalia," Annabeth said as she pulled her little girl into a hug, " I'll always be with you, and you can always come and visit with daddy and your brothers. I love you princess."
"Love you too mommy," Thalia sniffled out as her mother released her.
"Jake come here," Annabeth said as she grabbed her youngest son and pulled him into a tight hug. " Be good, alright. Listen to your daddy while I'm gone and don't do anything dumb. I love you so much."
"Be safe mommy." Jake replied as he gave his mother a kiss on the cheek.
"And you," Annabeth said to her eldest son Luke," Watch out for your siblings ok, help them with their homework, and help your dad out too. Life will get a little bit hectic for you pretty soon, just remember that I love you so much and that your stronger than you think.
"Alright mom," the 11 year old said with gusto," I'll do my best."
"Well then I better be off, seeing as theres no one left to say goodbye to." Annabeth joked as she locked eyes with her husband.
"What no goodbye spiel for me?" he said with mock hurt on his face.
"No, none for you." Annabeth said as she kissed her husband for what would probably be the last time for weeks. " Ok, goodbye everyone. I love you all." And with the Annabeth got into her car and began to slowly drive away from her home and toward her new life.
