“Lauren, come on! We’ve got to get to the arena for practice. You know Luke doesn’t like it when we’re late,” Madeline explained to her sister.
Lauren was still sitting on Half-Blood hill, right susunod to Thalia’s tree. Annabeth was on her way to living her dream, to be on a quest. Lauren was happy for her, truly. She was just thinking about… what if she didn’t make it? What if that was the last time she saw her? Sure, Grover will protect her but that Percy boy? No one trusted him. He was a Poseidon boy, trusting him would be against everything they believed in.
“Alright, Mads. I’m coming, I’m coming. I just need a little bit of time. You go on to the Arena and tell Luke I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“You got it!” Madeline sinabi as she ran down the hill. She was the newest addition to the Athena cabin. Ten years old, she spent four years in the Hermes cabin. Everyone thought she was an Aphrodite kid because of her beauty. Blonde hair, blue/gray eyes, not too skinny and not too chubby, and she was so cute and nice. Lauren remembered stories from Chiron all the time about when Annabeth started out here. She thought it was all so amazing that one little girl could make that long until Luke and Thalia finally found her.

“She was a very confident person when she first came here. She still is and she surely thinks she can to everything and anything and if you know Annabeth like I do, you know that she can,” Chiron explained to a seven taon old Lauren.
“Does she feel guilty about you know, Thalia dying for her and Luke’s lives?” Lauren asked hesitantly. She didn’t want to ask something offensive.
Chiron trotted over to the other end of the porch and sighed. “Yes, you can see it in her eyes whenever someone talks about her. Luke feels guilty as well.”
“It wasn’t their fault, and you know that too don’t you?”
“Yes, and it’s not fair that Annabeth has to live with that. Thinking it was her fault. Thalia was like a sister. It would be like you losing Annabeth or one of your step brothers or step sisters.”
“I wouldn’t like that. Just thinking about that makes me want to cry,” Lauren sinabi sitting down on one of the chairs.
“But, Annabeth can handle it just like she handles not having a tahanan to go to after the summer is over, and everything else she deals with. One thing I want you to know, everyone can know that she’s sad or scared or just wants to cry, but she’ll never admit and she’ll never ipakita it.”
