Percy took a pen and started to draw the ocean. He tried to get the waves right, feeling like if he messed up, he was disappointing someone. Two hours, ten pieces of paper, and Three blue cookies later, he started to doodle on his arm. He needed it to be just right, he didn't care how long it took.
Annabeth
Oh my goodness! There are waves on my arm! Not like real ones, obviously. But, a drawing. I'd never really liked the ocean, as my mother drowned a few days after my birth. Oddly, I didn't remember drawing the waves, and I haven't the slightest clue of how they got there. I'll do research. "Dad? May I borrow your laptop? I have something to look at." I asked my father. Yet, as always, he was distracted by his wife and new, better, children. Again, I inwardly sighed. I always felt like she wasn't truly a part of this family. "Pardon? Oh, um, yes." He said dismissively, pushing it to the edge of he desk. I sat on one end, him at the other, and searched 'random drawings on your arm you didn't put there'. A scientific theory came up, and I clicked it. According to this article, if you have true love, like a destined lover, like the truest of love, the drawings from one arm, would transfer to the other person's arm. Like, a drawing of waves. I glanced down at my arm and saw the blue ink fading, but I could still see the detail, the dedication, the work put into this peice of art, even just a doodle, and I knew that the boy who drew this, was my true love.

Annabeth
I ran away from my home. I went running, no idea of where to go with only a backpack of things. I sat down in a dark alleyway, taking out the ballpoint pen I had stolen from my father's office. I took my left arm and began to write. When I found out about the situation, I wrote a letter on my arm. His name was Percy Jackson. I wrote to him of my problems, and he wrote to me of his. He had an abusive step-father named Gabe (whom he had dubbed 'Smelly Gabe') and they had little money. Gabe's drinking problem didn't help. But today, I was feeling bold. I had only told Percy that the two matches were to be best freinds. I was going to tell him the truth. Percy, I began to write, when I heard footsteps and voices. I stood, and dashed behind a trash can. Two teenagers, a boy and a girl, came in, the age of fifteen, or so. The boy had blonde hair, and green eyes full of mischief. The girl however, had spiky black hair, and blue eyes. "Luke... I think someone's watching us." She whispered to the boy, Luke. They began looking. Luke found me. "Hello there. I'm Luke Castellan. Me and my freind here, Thalia Grace, ran away from our homes. Did you do the same?" Luke asked, calmly and nicely. I nodded, unable to speak. The girl, Thalia, came up and put her hand on my shoulder. "What's your name?" Luke asked. "Annabeth Chase." I said, softly. Thalia hugged me. "Well Annabeth, you can forget about your old family now. You just found a new one. Us. Family, forever." "Promise?" I asked. "Promise" Luke said. "Can I finish something first?" I asked, not wanting to go with out telling Percy of my whereabouts. Thalia nodded, Luke suspicious. I took out my pen and wrote. I couldn't take it anymore. With my dad neglecting me and Helen telling me I was an inconvenience, I couldn't. So I left that family, and I think I just found a new one. Thalia Grace and Luke Castellan are runaways, just like me. I wanted to tell you before my new family and I roam the streets of New York City alone. -Annabeth. She had lost her courage and couldn't tell him the truth. She let the letter sink in before standing. "Sorry, I was talking to my soulmate." I said, casually. I awaited their reaction. Thalia looked at Luke like 'is she crazy?'. Luke shot her a glare that said 'we promised'.

Percy

I read Annabeth's letter as it appeared on my arm. You see, Annabetn was this weird girl destined to be my best friend. Apparently. I didn't tell anyone else, it was like she was my secret keeper. She had a neglecting father (she thought me new words) and a step mother who told he she was a useless disgrace.i told her it wasn't true, which it wasn't. As of her letter, she had run away and made a new family with Thalia Grace and Luke Castellan. I wrote her back instantly. Annabeth, if you're happy, I'm happy. -Percy
