A/N: Okay the songs that follow aren't neccessrily going to be related or in order. Some of them are from different characters' perspectives and some take place during PJO whilst some take place after. Needless to say, I am not Rick Riordan and therefore do not own any of the characters. I hope you enjoy these short scenes based off songs. I'd be really grateful for a review just so I know how well people think I related the characters and situations to the songs.
A Crippling Blow by The Killers
Annabeth POV
Luke had dealt me a crippling blow. I'd fallen in love with that boy. He'd been my saviour, my knight in shining armour. Well not exactly in shining armour, but he had used a sword when he found me at the tender age of seven. Now I took care of myself, never trusting anyone, never letting anyone in. I fought my own battles and, being a daughter of Athena, I always won. I was resourceful; I could easily take care of myself.
But then Percy came. He was clumsy. More of a bumbling idiot than anything else. And then I had to take care of him as well as myself. Things began to slip. I had to let myself be saved by other people, namely Percy.
Luke's betrayal stung more than anything else. His decision to join Kronos hit me, doubling me over like I'd been sucker punched. And I guess I had. But in the meantime I could get by by myself. I didn't rely on Percy for everything. But I guess it was okay for him to occasionally be there for me. I didn't need time.
