This chapter may confuse you, because it doesn't say whose POV it's in.
But I like this way because... I don't know I just do!
Now *uses big announcer voice* what you have all been waiting for...
*cue drum roll (Or the dramatic lightning crash because that's what's going on over at my house, right now!)*
THE CHAPTER!
Surprise POV!
Run!
If you run, they won't know it's you.
Down!
Keep your head down and your hood up!
Lie!
Tell a lie that gets you away…
And you will survive.
That's what they had been telling me for months. RUN! DOWN! LIE! Those 3 words get you out of trouble, and then you are free.
I had used those a lot on my run, when you have to steal to live. Luckily, I wasn't alone. My 2 siblings helped me. Running is hard when you bicker like us, but when we are not running, it's quite easy to get along.
We had been hiding from the Gods. That's not easy either. Running from the people who see your every move. You can't stay in one place very long…
Unless, your 3rd sibling has been doing it for years.
The 4 of us had found each other after the incident, and now we were all we had. If we survived on our own, maybe one day we could all go back. But with these things chasing us, it didn't seem possible.
They had been chasing us since, December last year. 7 months ago (A/N: I think I did my math right! Probably not! Just so you know, it's JULY!). They couldn't be killed so you had to run. And staying under our older sister care didn't always work, because our scent would bleed through, and we would have to wait for it all to go away.
Only then could we come back.
But I was done with this, I missed him. I wanted to tell him, but I couldn't. It would hurt everyone. This was a better way. When I first left I told myself that one day I could come back, but I doubted that would ever happen. Not now, not ever.
I would be on the run until, these things were gone. That's when it would be okay to come back. If there is anything to come back to.
I shook those thoughts out of my head.
I had to focus or something could go wrong.
"Do you see the street, yet?" yelled Nate. My older brother.
"Yeah, turn left!" I yelled back.
We had stolen a car back in Pittsburgh, now we were in Columbus, Ohio. It wasn't anything fancy. I don't know cars very well, but this one was fast enough to get away.
"Are you sure you know to drive?" Sara screamed from the backseat, as the car tipped to the left.
"Sara, he is doing the best he can." I said calmly.
"I am 16! You don't have to talk to me like I am 5!"
Nate rolled his eyes "Yes Sara, we know but you are younger than both of us, so you are technically the baby, of our little family!"
I laughed. Although, I hated when we fought like this (especially while we were driving) I loved being the middle child of the "little family". Nate, was oldest in the car (20). Really Katie, my older sister, was the oldest being 26.
Katie lives in Columbus and that's where we were going, to get peace for 2 weeks before running again.
"TURN HERE!" I yelled.
Nate quickly turned to the right and slammed the brakes. We were in her driveway, it was nice to know we were safe for a little while.
Katie's house wasn't anything special, but there was enough room for each of us to have our own rooms.
The front of her house had blue shutters, and a olive green door. It looked really weird, but Katie refused to paint it because she thought it looked cool.
The inside was better though. As soon as you walk in, there is a staircase and a small hallway, the hallway leads to the living room, where there is a nice fireplace. Next to the living room is a open kitchen with a island table and the dining table next to that. There is another hallway, that has a bathroom, stairs to the basement, and Sara and Katie's bedrooms.
Upstairs was where Nate and I stayed. My room was to the left and Nate's to the right. We shared the bathroom in the middle.
Our rooms were identical, a slanted ceiling, a walk in closet, and a bay window. I loved in here, but we could only stay two weeks, and then then would run until another two weeks would pass and then we could come back. That was the cycle!
As soon as we got in, Sara ran straight to the bathroom, with her hand over her mouth. Nate and I laughed as we walked in.
Katie was in the kitchen with a towel over her shoulder. She had a surprised look on her face!
After a moment of silence she laughed! "I was wondering when you would get here." She came over and hugged Nate and then hugged me. "You let Nate drive didn't you?"
"HEY!" Nate said in defense.
I laughed as Katie, Nate, and I walked into the kitchen.
"So," I said starting a conversation "Katie what smells so good?"
"Your cake!" She said. My Cake?
Sara came running out of the bathroom, "Cake?"
Nate muttered "Yeah, and you're not five?"
"I heard that!"
Katie reached underneath the Island and pulled out a chocolate cake!
On the cake it said HAPPY 19 ANNABETH!
Annabeth, this might just be a good birthday! I thought!
A/N:
BAM!
Annabeth is alive!
(So, as I said earlier, at first this story was in 3rd person, now it's in 1st. So if you see they, instead of we please know that is not on purpose.)
I had so much fun writing this chapter!
I love this story.
Anyway! I hope you enjoyed it!
I am going to go hide undrneath my covers because the power went out, my laptop is dying, and the lightning is very bright!
