Daughter of Zeus - Old

ANNABETH - Seaweed Brain

ANNABETH-

I was enjoying watching Percy gamble with a kid from Camp Jupiter. He wanted a boat to try and find Tyson. According to Alyssa, we need him. I visibly shuddered. Why? Well..

When I was younger I ran away from home. It began when I was 5. My father remarried and together, they had my two twin brothers Bobby and Matthew. After a while, we started being attacked by monsters which caused a lot of arguments between me and my parents. They felt as though I always put them in danger.

When I was a little bit older, I was attacked, bitten and covered in cobwebs by spiders. I would scream and scream but no one would come and help me. Whenever my step-mother came to wake me in the morning, the bites had faded and the spiders were nowhere to be seen. That's when I noticed it. The weird glances that my step-mom gave me. I was a freak. An abnormal child. An unwanted child. So I ran away when I turned 7.

I was a beacon for monsters. Constantly attacked. Thankfully, my mother Athena was there to guide me. Using nothing but a mortal (average) hammer, I had managed to get into an alley. I built myself a shelter for corrugated iron. It was only a few minutes before I heard the sound of footsteps. I huddled further into a corner and watched as the roof to my shelter was pulled off. A ran out, swinging my hammer in all directions. That's when I met a blonde haired boy with light blue eyes and a girl with black hair and blue eyes, only darker than the boys. That was the day I met 12 year old Thalia Grace and 14 year old Luke Castellan.

After many days of travelling together, we came across a satyr by the name of Grover Underwood. He told us of a safe haven for demi-gods like us. We agreed to follow him to a place he called Camp Half-Blood. A few wrongs turns later and we were in the middle of a lair. A Cyclops lair. Everyone but me was captured. I ran away from the area to think of a way to get them out. After wandering around for a bit, I heard my Dad's voice calling out to me. I followed his voice until I recognised the area I was in. The Cyclops’ lair. I could smell his pungent breath. I went further into the lair. Then, as if it were pure instinct, I stab the Cyclops in the foot and ran over to untie Thalia. She took care of everything else.

After we escaped, we ran as fast as we could to reach Half-Blood Hill. Too bad, a pack of monsters had managed to catch up to us. We all knew we couldn't out run them. Thalia stopped.

"I'll hold them off" she yelled. I shook my head and told her to come with us but she ran off before I could say anything. I ran with Luke until we reached Half-Blood Hill. I turned around just in time to see a monster swing his club and hit Thalia. She flew across the forest and landed in an unnatural position.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt came from out of the sky and hit Thalia. Next to her, a huge pine tree grew and a blue barrier began forming as far as the eyes could see. The monsters came running at us, screaming battle cries and threats of death but the barrier stopped them. They bashed and smashed but couldn't get through. I'll never forget the monster that killed Thalia. His eye staring straight through me. I'll never forget that Cyclops.

Many years later, on a quest, Percy, Grover and I went to find the Golden Fleece as Thalia's Pine Tree was dying which was allowing monsters to enter Camp Half-Blood. The Golden Fleece has healing capabilities. That was the first time I met Tyson. I hated Cyclops' at the time and honestly, I still do but Tyson isn't your average Cyclops. Once returning to camp with the fleece, I laid it on Thalia's Pine Tree and it worked. All too well. The Golden Fleece also brought Thalia back to life. Now, she is with us.

"Annabeth? Time to head off" Percy said, awakening me from my trip down memory lane.

"Whatever seaweed brain, let's just get this over with" I answered him. I didn't like going by sea too often.

"Still? Why do you call me that?" he asked me.

"Why not?"

I grabbed his hand and we walked off to the docks. This is going to be a long ride.
