Once she was off the phone she asked me, "Annabeth do you want something to eat?"

I had brought food but I had to ration. So I thought it would be a smart idea to stock up on more if I was going to travel America.

Also, I was hungry.

"Do you have ice cream?" I liked ice cream. It tasted good.

"We can go get some, I know this really good ice cream parlour."

"What's a parlour?" I stared up at the woman's brown eyes.

"It's a place where you get ice cream." She said. "Now hold my hand so you don't get lost, okay?"

"Okay!" I said and grabbed the woman hand.

I should have known better when we turned up at the police station.

"This isn't the ice cream parlour?"

"No it isn't, we have to get you home, it's not safe on your own."

My eyes started to well up but I didn't try to run.

The woman brought me over to a Policeman. She was still holding my hand.

The policeman knelt and smiled at me kindly, "You must be Annabeth, your Dad's very worried about you. Why did you run away?"

"Bec-because I wanted him to be happy." I choked out and started crying. Ugly, heavy tears.

"It's going to be okay, alright?" I nodded at him and sniffled. "That's a good girl."

Then he turned to the lady, "Ms. Hearth thank you for your cooperation, we'll take it from here now."

"No problem, just make sure she's safe," she said as she let go of my hand. "I have to go now Annabeth but it was nice meeting you."

"You sold me out!" I screamed at her as she left.

"Ok, Annabeth we have to take you to your father now." The policemen nodded at me.

I knew there was no use fighting now. I'd just have run away another day, "Fine."

I followed him through the precinct, there were lots of people there and they were all staring at me and they all looked worried.

Then I saw Dad.

I couldn't help myself. I needed a hug. And my father.

He didn't even look mad.

"I thought I'd lost you forever." He said as he hugged me tightly.

"I'm sorry." I hated apologising but sometimes I had to put my pride aside.

"Why'd you run away, Princess?"

"I wanted you to be happy." I looked down at the floor.

"What?"

"I scare away all your dates because they don't want me." I couldn't bring myself to look at him. "So I thought that if I left someone would want to marry you."

"Oh Annabeth, I don't want someone if they don't want you to remember we're a package deal..."

"Like sardines."

"Besides even if I don't find someone, It'll always be me and you. Okay?"

"Okay."
