Annabeth awoke feeling very groggy with a pounding headache. The last thing she could remember was screaming 'what the hell' before slamming into the concrete of the mortal world. Now she was in blank room with plain white sheets and blankets. "Oh, you're finally awake!" Some strange lady spoke to Annabeth.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Annabeth responded to the lady while trying to get up, slowing falling as she tried.
"Whoaaa I wouldn't try walking right now, you've been out for 3 weeks."
"WHAT! 3 weeks! Where am I, who are you, and could someone please tell me where the hell I am!!?"
"Okay, okay calm down ma'am. I'm Linda, your nurse I've been taking care of you for the past 3 weeks. You are at a hospital in Brighton New York."
"New York!? Why am I in New York? I just want to go home."
"Okay, yes I understand where exactly is home? Who are your parents and what is your name?"
"As if I'd tell you please just let me leave, I shouldn't be here."
"I can't let you do that you're not an adult or emancipated," Linda pointed out.
"Well I am too an Adult, back where I live in-" Annabeth suddenly stopped.
"Yes live where?"
"I, I don't remember!" Annabeth lied. She knew she couldn't say a word about her real self or where she came from, she'll have to lie her way out of this. Wait! My soul neckalce, Annabeth thought, reaching for her throat. Annabeth found nothing wrapped around her neck.
"Oh are you looking for this?" Linda asks, waving the necklace in front of Annabeth.
"Yes," Annabeth states reaching for her soul necklace.
"Not quite yet, let's check out your vitals and get you signed outta here."
"But I'm not an adult remember?"
"Yes I remember you'll have to stay in a home for now until your parents come looking or you reach of age."
Annabeth's P.O.V
I'm finally out of that morbid hospital, with my necklace, and shoved into a vehicle with Linda driving. Oh god probably to that damn house she was taking about. Soon I'm in the house Linda was speaking of earlier, I touch my soul necklace hoping that it will fix this. As I touch my necklace a huge breeze fills the room and I see time literally fly by. I can see my new made memories of the next year. Soon enough I'm a 16 and emancipated, an official adult.
It's been 2 weeks since I've left the house I'm settling in to a nice apartment that I got with my charm, mostly my necklaces got it for me, but I like to think it was me I mean it's a 'soul' necklace right? I've become a writer writing of a place called Elements. There's no rule about writing fiction, even if it may be real no one else knows it is, I thought to myself.
I wake up the next morning feeling the same after I woke up from my unconsciousness. My Emerald eyes glowed and I suddenly heard my mom's voice. She said she missed me, that she can only talk to me once a year, and that whatever I do, do not let the ancestors control my actions to chose me then she was gone my eyes stopped glowing and instead filled with tears. "Mom" I whispered, "Mom." I finally heard my mom, but what did she mean by not letting the ancestors control me? Could they even do that?
6 years later aka present time
Ever since the first time mom made contact she did, like she said, she contacted me once a year. It was the only time I wasn't truly alone even if it was for a few minutes, they were the best minutes of my day. I miss home so much, with this thought I grabbed my jacket and went out to fulfill my destiny, to kill. Then fulfill my dream, to go home. "I'm coming mom, I'm coming home, soon" I spoke serval times trying to reassure myself. That's when I walked into the cafe and met Simon, finally some advancement I thought to myself. Excited, nervous, and scared of what's ahead of me, It's been 2 months of dating Simon and I was about to suggest they have a Christmas party together.
