Lessons learned

And bridges burned to the ground

And it's too late now to put out the fire

Tables turned

And I'm the one who's burning now

I screwed up. I know I did. I should've joined the hunters all those years ago when they first offered. Zoe was right, Luke did break my heart. I was so stupid back then telling her he would never betray me telling her he would never hurt me- but how was I supposed to know. Back then before anything had happened we were the same Luke and I. We had the same thoughts about our parents the same thoughts about our lives, but all of that had consumed him. Should I have joined them back then though? Would Annabeth have made it if I did?

Just like that I'm crawling back to you

Just like you said I would

I did go back to them like Zoe predicted I would. She was good at predicting those things it seemed. She predicted Luke would hurt me, she predicted that I would go back, but maybe that's just because she had no faith in men whatsoever. She was wrong to clump them all together though. I had absolutely no problem living without them, but I knew they weren't all horrible people. Percy and Annabeth seemed to be working out. He would never betray her. I know that much to be true. If Zoe was alive she'd say it too. Even lady Artemis knew it. Annabeth. Despite everything I'm glad I didn't join them the first time. Annabeth needed me to make it to camp with Luke and Grover. Everything happens for a reason. My fate was set from the beginning and eventually it all worked out.

AN: Yes I know this is horrible, but every time I hear Crawling Back to You by Daughtry I think of Thalia and the hunters of Artemis and I just had to do something with the two ideas. And its entirely too possible that its late- or early rather- and I'm not in an entirely sane state of mind. Flame away if you must. Review if you will.
