PJO/HOO Fanfiction- Behind Closed Doors

Chap 27

(SO CLOSE TO 30 CHAPTERS!!!!)

We met when I just turned 7, and for me, it was a very dark day ...

"Helen, you can't keep on talking to me like that, you're not my mom!" I shouted, tears in my eyes.

"If you can't follow simple rules, the door is always open!" Helen shouted, pointing back at our house door.

I didn't say anything after that. Maybe because I was scared, or maybe because I was planning something.

Packing all my essentials into my too small bag, I opened the door with a loud creak, and left the nightmarish hell they call home.

The streets were packed with people, most of them giving me confused stares. Just in case, I had brought a hammer, it was the only thing I could find.

10 days since I was homeless

There was quiet, hushed voices on the alleyway adjacent to me. 2 of them.

One sounded like a young girl, the other, a young boy. I held my hammer, ready to attack.

Screaming a weird battle cry, I thrust the hammer, but it didn't meet its assigned targets.

"Woah there girl, that could do some damage." The boy with blonde hair told me, chuckling a bit.

"No more men!" I screamed, the only reason I had this hammer was for those old perverted men that liked to kidnap young girls like me.

"Hey hey, we ran away too, and we're always looking for new recruits." The girl told me, she turned around to the boy, and he nodded.

"You have problems too?" I asked, lowering my hammer a bit.

They laughed. "We do, I'm Thalia, and you?"

"Annabeth Chase."

"Well then Annabeth, I'm Luke, and if you want to be friends, I'm guessing you don't smash our brains out." Luke said, pointing at my weapon, still tightly wrapped around my small hands.

I dropped my hammer, and asked them the one question.

"Will you try to take me back?" I whispered, just 3 days ago, I became friends with a middle aged man, but he was just a young police officer, and was SO close to taking me back. Luckily I manged to kick him where the sun doesn't shine.

They both looked at me sternly. "Promise."

I eased a bit, and followed my two friends to wherever they were taking me.

20 days till I found Thalia and Luke

My hammer still had the dried blood of the man, showing me of my past mistakes. We were in the forest, trying to outrun the men that wanted us. We didn't know why, but we went taking the risk.

"I killed him! I killed him!"

Luke held his hand over my mouth. "Hey, hey, you didn't kill him, only knocked him out."

I breathed a sigh of relief, then went over to find Thalia.

"Thalia! Thalia, where are you!" I screamed, we hadn't found her yet, and it was close to darkness.

Two men then jumped behind us, one holding an unconscious Thalia.

"You better give her back!" I screamed.

The men laughed, and threw her on the ground, but she was still too close for me to get to her.

Luke went back a few steps to talk to me.

"Annabeth, you've got to run." Luke whispered, holding me back with his arms.

He was close to tears, mine were already running down my face.

"I might not make it back, neither will Thalia, but you've got to go." Luke told me, looking at me straight in the eye.

"I can fight them." My vision was getting blurry with the tears.

"No, you can't." Luke was now pushing me back. "Remember me, okay? Now take my dagger, and run!"

I knew he wouldn't let me, so my legs started to furiously sprint away, my mind screaming 'NO'.

I couldn't go anywhere else, so I came back home, with a distraught father, and an upset step mom.

If I had known what Helen would do to me after, I would have just stayed in the forest.

(Short chapter, had to show you their relation ship. By the way, I realised I'm making too many chapters so I'm going to write a lot more than 1000 words for each.

By the way, do you guys want me to make a sequel, I already know what's going to happen in the end)
