Annabeth // h.s.

Prologue

        "Annabeth Johnson, I know you are here." He calls out for me again as I race down the steep hill, cutting the soles of my feet on the sharp rocks while trying to stay upward.

Please, God. If there is a God. Save me from this man.

"There you are my sweet darling!" His ever so loud voice booms through the now empty opening as he stands at the top of the hill before running down.

Loud pitiful sobs leave my mouth as I reach the bottom of the hill to be greeted by a lake that I had forgotten was here even though I have been here so many times with someone I loved.

Quickly turning around, seeing him right in front of me, my chest rises quicker and tears shed faster. His large hand reaches up to hold my cheek in his hand, wiping away my tears with his thumb.

"Please..." I sob. "Not again. It hurts, don't do this." I beg him.  He gives me a soft smile as he tilts his head before speaking,

"But darling this isn't the time were suppose to meet. It wasn't the right time this time either. Maybe one more time after this and we'll be happy." His voice is so calm and collected as he talks, which only causes me sob even harder and faster than before.

"Harry." I beg through my sobs. His hand from my cheek slowly makes it way to my neck before he begins to squeeze. My hands immediately go to his arm, trying to pull his large hand away from my small throat.

"Darling, you know how much I love you. You know that right?" He asks needing a answer even if it's not true. I nod my head yes as I gasp for air, black spots filling over my vision.

This is it, this is my fate, over and over. And endless world of loveless pain with the same man.

"Next time, one more time. Then it'll be okay. You and me can go back home together and live in the estate with our happy little children and pets. You'll be so happy you'll forgive me even though you wo–"

"I don't want to... make it stop" my barely audible voice gaps out, interrupting him. I can tell my words anger him because he tightens his hand even more.

"Now, now. We have to be together so maybe next time I can be a lit–"

Before he can finish I slip away into a peaceful darkness that I longed for since he showed up again.
